About The Way Yonder
Historical locations, forgotten landmarks and the fascinating stories time left behind.
We pull back the curtain on the past to explore historical locations, forgotten landmarks, and the fascinating stories time left behind. From local historical landmarks to legends checked against the records, we break down history into engaging, easy-to-follow visual stories that breathe life back into old spaces.
Every video is filmed on location across Texas and the South. We walk the ground, show the records, and sort what is documented from what is legend. Most episodes run 45 to 60 minutes, with chapters so you can jump around.
Our method
How every video gets made
-
Find the place
We pick a location with a story worth telling, from ghost towns to forgotten landmarks.
-
Walk the ground
We film on location, so you see the place as it is today.
-
Check the records
We show the records behind the story, not just the retelling.
-
Sort fact from legend
We separate what is documented from what is only legend, and say which is which.
