KIRBY-HILL HOUSE Home oers tours mystery theater, B&B and more
T
he Kirby-Hill House was built in 1902 by James L. Kirby, older brother and business partner of the more famous John Henry Kirby. It is located at 210 Main Street in Kountze, one blocks north of the Hardin County Courthouse square. The Kirby family established a lumber empire which dominated the economy of this region for almost 100 years. The Kirby-Hill House Educational Foundation, established in 1992, raised the money locally to purchase the property and renovate the home. Inside renovation is planned room-by-room and funding comes from grants, donations, and admissions. In addition, the group also has a series of Murder Mystery Dinner Theaters in the Spring and Fall, Lunch with Lucy by appointment (small catered gatherings) Bed and Breakfast rooms, historical tours, and the home is available to rent, which all raise funds for the renovation of this grand old home. The house features wraparound porches with 48 columns, four fireplaces, and 8 rooms that all open onto the porch through 8-foot, double8 | Discover Kountze
The Kirby-Hill House was built in 1902, making it one of the oldest buildings in Kountze. sash windows. The most outstanding architectural features include the curved walls and oval grand staircase. Much of the furniture and china is original to the house. The foundation also has many of the pictures, papers, and artifacts belonging to the family dating back to 1832. On the grounds to the right of the mansion is a state champion Crepe Myrtle tree that is over 100 years old. On the left side of the property is a relocated church building which is the home of the Hardin County Genealogical Society.
Architecture The home was built by Frank T. Smith, master architect and builder from Beaumont, whose credits include several
major buildings in the business district of Beaumont, two of which are the Gilbert Building and the Alamo Building. Smith built the home for James L. Kirby, brother to John Henry Kirby, founder of the Kirby Lumber Company empire, which dominated the economy of Hardin County and Southeast Texas for one hundred years. The home is located in the original town site of Kountze on eight city lots, consisting of about 2 and 3/10th acres of land. The curved wrap-around front walls of the upper and lower porches are of tongue and groove heart pine and the 48 impressive Victorian Style Columns on both porches are made of cypress. The Kirby-Hill House is a two-story, colonial revival style
home and is an exceptional example of the Neo-classical style from the Colonial revival period in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Much of the lumber used in the construction of the home came from the Kirby mills. Most of the flooring in the house is of tongue and groove heart pine. The double front doors of the home have the original beveled glass panes and the full length window screens, originally made of bronze, open out onto the porches on hinges, so that one could step through the windows onto the porches from each room in the house. The front door and windows were built with large transoms above each one to allow the prevailing wind to cool the entire house. Four of the rooms
DISCOVER KOUNTZE (24).qxp_Layout 1 20/07/2020 10:15 Page 9
have a distinctive fireplace, each with a different styled beveled mirror. The beautiful winding staircase connecting the upper and lower full-length hallways is one of the most impressive parts of the house and is made of heart pine. It was built in Georgia specially for this home and was made in three sections and shipped in Kountze. When it first arrived, there were some problems because no one knew how to correctly install the staircase. The staircase was later installed by John R. Bevil, a local attorney. The home was originally lighted by carbide gas lamps and the two bathrooms had hot and cold running water supplied by a wood burning heater connected to the cook stove in the kitchen. A close look at the top of the house discloses a 10 x 10 foot flat surface where the cypress balustrade encircled the unique widow's walk. The
balustrade was removed several years ago during a hurricane season and stored in the attic of the house, awaiting restoration. The balustrade has been restored, but it is so difficult to reach that the curator calls it the crow’s nest. The home, built in the once affluent section of town, was built of the finest materials that money could buy at the time and the workmanship was the best that could be obtained. The home still retains a high degree of architectural and historic integrity, and it is still in its original condition. It is the only one of its kind in Hardin County, and work is under way to renovate it to the original condition. The Kirby-Hill House is located in Kountze, next door to the Kountze Public Library, and one block north of the Hardin County Courthouse.

ig Thicket National Preserve in southeast Texas offers 40 miles of hiking trails, camping, canoeing, kayaking, and plentiful bird-watching. People have called the Big Thicket an “American ark” and the “Biological crossroads of North America.” The preserve was established to protect its complex biological diversity. What is extraordinary is not the rarity or abundance of its life forms, but how many species coexist here. Once vast, this combination of pine and cypress forest, hardwood forest, meadow, and blackwater swamp is but a remnant. With such varied habitats, 10 | Discover Kountze

"Big Thicket" is a misnomer, but it seems appropriate. A convergence of ecosystems occurred here during the last Ice Age. It brought together, in one geographical location, the eastern hardwood forests, the Gulf coastal plains, and the midwest prairies. The Preserve consists of nine land units and six water corridors encompassing more than 113,000 acres. There are 10 distinct ecosystems within the Preserve that are home to a variety of unique plants and animals. Four of the five carnivorous plants in North America can be found here, as can more than 20 types of orchids. In addition to rare plants,

Several species of snakes, including the Louisiana pine snake, and even a small population of alligators also can be found at Big Thicket. Established by Congress in 1974, Big Thicket was the first preserve in the National Park System. On Dec. 15, 1981, the Preserve was designated an U.S. International Biosphere Reserve by the United Nations
Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Man and the Biosphere Program. On July 26, 2001, the American Bird Conservancy recognized the Preserve as a Globally Important Bird Area, joining thousands of others around the world.

History of Kountze Kountze is at the junction of Farm-toMarket Roads 418 and 1293, State Highway 326, and U.S. Highway 69/287, 27 miles northwest of Beaumont in central Hardin County. It was named for Herman and Augustus Kountze, financial backers of the Sabine and East Texas Railroad, and became a station on the line. Retail businesses and lumbermen accompanied the railroad; sawmills were established at Plank, Nona, and Olive, all within three miles of Kountze. A post office was opened there in 1882. An attempt in 1884 to make Kountze the county seat failed by 11 votes. However, after a courthouse fire in 1886, voters reversed their earlier decision and overwhelmingly made Kountze the Hardin County seat the following year. The arrival of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway in 1902 gave Kountze an east-west route to join the older north-south line. Kountze voters agreed to incorporate their thriving lumber and retail community in 1902. By 1910 the population, which had been 295 in 1890, was about 1,000. Kountze was one of the first towns in Hardin County with electricity. The decline of the area's lumber industries, however, along with a fire in 1916, slowed development, as did the growth of nearby Silsbee. By the mid-1940s the population of Kountze had fallen to 800. Nearby oil discoveries during the early 1950s once again sparked the town's growth and allowed renovation of many of the city's aging utilities and roads. Under the guidance of Archer Fullingim, the Kountze News became known for its advocacy of the Big Thicket Preserve and for its liberal politics during the 1960s. The population, bolstered by the presence of the county government and the migration of numerous former residents of Jefferson County into Hardin County during the 1970s, had increased to 2,716 by 1980. In 1990 it was 2,056. The population was 2,115 in 2000. 14 | Discover Kountze

GHOST OF HARDIN COUNTY
Bragg Road Light Bragg Road is also one of its most mysterious, fascinating and out-if-way places in Hardin County.
By Dannie Oliveaux Contributing Writer
T
here are always those people who are drawn to tales involving supernatural occurrences such as ghosts. There is the popular Bragg Road Ghost Light which is popular with local teenagers — especially at night.
The Ghost Light Mysterious ghost lights haunt this isolated road in the heart of the Big Thicket. A unique part of Hardin County is also one of its most mysterious, fascinating and out-if-way places: The Ghost Road. The Ghost Road is situated in the heart of the Big Thicket. It begins at a bend on Farm-toMarket Road 787 that is 1.7 miles north of the intersection of FM 787 and FM 770, near Saratoga. Trees growing on both sides offer a natural canopy as drivers travel down the long dirt road. Its original name is the 16 | Discover Kountze
Bragg Road, named after the town that was in that area at one time. The name Ghost Road was attached in this century after several tales that center around a ghostly light that is said to be seen on certain occasions at night. The section of the area was just part of the Big Thicket, thick with native and underbrush. In 1902, Santa Fe Railroad hacked a survey line from Bragg to Saratoga, bought right-of-way and opened the Big Thicket forest with a railroad, and the Saratoga train began its daily trips to Beaumont, carrying people, cattle, oil and logs. When the area’s oil booms and virgin pine gave out, road crews pulled up the rails in 1934, the right-of-way was purchased by the county and the Tram Road became a county road. Tales of a ghostly light gathered steam in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s as more people traveled to the road. Explanations on the Ghost Light (or Bragg Light as it was
known by locals) are varied and descriptive. Some people believe the light is the reflection of car lights, while scientists believe it is a gaseous substance. Of course, the best explanations are left to the imagination. One story about the light is that it is a mystical phenomenon that frequents areas where treasure is buried and that Spanish conquistadores are looking for the golden treasure. Another story is that the light is a little bit of fire never extinguished after another famous historical spot in the county, the Kaiser Burnout, or it could be the ghost of a man shot during the Burnout. Still, another story is about a railroad man who was decapitated in a train wreck when the railroad was still in place. The light is the body of the man looking for his head, which was never found. The light could also be the night hunter who got lost in the Big Thicket
decades ago. The hunter still wanders, searching for a way out of the Thicket. A story that really gives you chills is the one about the husband looking for his bride. The story goes the couple was honeymooning at the Bragg Hotel, which used to be at the end of the road, and by mysterious circumstances the bride was murdered. The light is the groom who continues to search for his bride’s killer. Whatever the light is, its presence, or the thought of its appearance, has been powerful enough to generate enough interest to make sure the Ghost Road remains as it is, an essential part of Hardin County history. To reach the Ghost Road, take U.S. 69 at Kountze to FM 326, from there, take the turn onto FM 770, which goes to Saratoga. Go through Saratoga and at a right on FM 787 turn, and the Ghost Road is not far off the beaten path.”

OLIVE SCOTT PERRY ARBORETUM One of 6 arboretums in East Texas located north of Kountze
T
he mission of the Olive Scott Petty Arboretum is to promote the knowledge and appreciation of trees and plants for personal enjoyment, inspiration and recreation; for educational and aesthetic purposes; and for scientific research. It is one of 6 arboretums in East Texas. The arboretum is in the process of being grown. When complete, it will serve as a living classroom—a site of teaching, research and public education related to the native trees and plants of southeast Texas.
History The land was a gift to TFS from Scott Petty in remembrance of his father, Olive Scott Petty (1895–1994), to be used as an
arboretum to benefit Texans. Olive Scott Petty was the son of V.A. Petty Jr., president of the Olive Sternenberg Lumber Company (renamed in 1908). He was born in Olive, Texas and this land is where he developed a love and appreciation for the outdoors. It was Petty’s dream to use the property for educating young people about Texas’ forests as well as the history of the land. His favorite tree was a magnolia and it was the first tree planted at the Arboretum.
In Honor and In Memory of Individuals can be part of creating this legacy by helping develop the Olive Scott Petty Arboretum. A donation of $100, $200 or more will be used to plant a tree in honor of or in memory of a loved one. Names of those who are honored or remembered will be listed at the Arboretum. Location The Olive Scott Petty Arboretum is located on U.S Highway 69 approximately, 5 minutes north of Kountze.
