First, a Texas family learns that their home was built by Nettie Houston Bringhurst, daughter of Texas historic figure, Sam Houston. Next, we visit Covington, Georgia, where a homeowner steeped in Civil War history tells about the links her antebellum home has to the war. Then, in Annapolis, Maryland, a couple traces their 1760s home to four generations of Howards. Now the home stands in the midst of a modern condominium complex.
