There was a time before Texas wasn't known for oil and gas. This marker recalls some of the…read moreearliest history as oil was discovered here. The marker is on the side of the road. It reads, "Early reports of natural gas seepages in this area were not uncommon in the late 19th century. James Slaughter noticed such natural occurences near the San Jacinto River in 1887. Several years later, with S. A. Hart, he set up a drilling operation in the area, but it proved unsuccessful. Charles Barrett, a former Huston merchant, also drilled wells here, but found the results limited. In 1904, the Higgins Oil Company brought in a major gas well and the following year, the first successful oil well was drilled." "This area, known as the Moonshine Hill section of the great Humble oil field, became the site of a boom town. Within months of the 1905 discovery, the population of the Moonshine Hill settlement increased to 10,000. Early operations associated with the site included the Moonshine Oil Company of Walter Sharp, Ed Prather, and Howard R. Hughes." "Although tents comprised most of the early structures, Moonshine Hill eventually included a church, school, postal station, stores, hotels, and saloons. Despite three separate boom eras, the last occurring in 1929, Moonshine Hill declined as a community. Its brief existence, however, had a dramatic impact on the economic development of Humble and Houston." "Texas Sesquicentennial 1836 - 1986" [Review 17376 overall - 393 in Texas - 894 of 2022.]

The MacDonald's Farm is conveniently located right off 1960 in Humble, TX. This place has been…read morearound for years and offers a great spot for a family outing. From riding a train around the farm to petting goats to running around on a huge playground, this Farm is an all around good time! Pros: Activities: This place is packed with all types of things to do. There are several animals you can pet (Goats, Llamas, chickens, Cow, pony's and many more. There's a train that goes around the whole farm (included in your admission) and you can ride it as much as you want. They have several spots throughout the facility to reserve for birthday parties . There a HUGE mound of sand for the kids to have fun and a big playground. Plenty of places to take great photos! Location: I dread the words "It's off 1960" because this stretch of road has horrible traffic and some spots are not the best areas to be around but this spot is an excellent location. For all my golf folks, Tour 18 is right across the street ‍ Cons: Price: For a family of four (includes a 16 month old) we paid $80.00 plus food for animals for a total of $89.00. I know everything has gone up recently but I was a little blown away by this price. I would've expected a little more animals to pet or even some outdoor games to make up for this amount. Parking: Get here early or you will be parking in the "additional" parking spot which is a mowed field. Nothing against a mowed field but it isnt close so be ready to walk a little. Overall we will come back again this year since our kids had a blast!! If you're in the area give this farm a try.

I haven't been out this way before so it was nice to check out a new area. It was very well organized, with a check in table out front. There were a lot of options. Many were chain restaurants, but a few locals sprinkled about. The savory food was just okay. There was a lot of dessert options for those with a sweet tooth. The admission came with two drink tickets that get you one of two cocktail mixes, wine and beer. They had more options for cash. There seemed to be plenty of food, nobody ran out too quickly. The vendors were all very engaging and polite. Parking was easy since there's a huge lot outside. I'm not sure when they started, but like most it will likely improve each year, so I'd be back. It's a good price for the experience. Coming from Pearland, I do like a chance to try new things and hit up new areas.

There's also a large covered pavilion with picnic tables for moms to sit and watch the kids.

Are you going to bite me?" Watch my video to see this gruesome scene. I really wish they had a better signage from the feeder road. I was fully relying on Google Maps GPS to take me here. However, the road was blocked with a metal gate. Get out of town. Why? Well, the entire park was not well marked. So expect "private driveway" wherever you are going. I considered this was an escape from town living. I had a smooth drive on Interstate Highway 69 in a steamy hot Saturday afternoon driving from Houston. If you came here for an event, make sure you capture the address. I was specifically going to 21675A McCleskey Road. To be more specific, it should point me to the entrance where all the buildings are: EMC Fair Association 21675 McCleskey East Montgomery County Senior Center 21679 McCleskey Restrooms by the lake **70th review of 2017**
