Old Plantation - McKinney Falls Sate Park

The remnants of an old rich slaveholder house near Austin, now a state park. Black folks built and worked the plantation and house in the 1800s. The McKinney family were big players in the Texas Revolution. The Civil War ruined the McKinneys and they sold the property. I wonder if the McKinney family supported the war? I think the house burned down. What's the story there? If rich people lived in this kind of house today they wouldnt seem rich. A two-story house is normal for middle class folks today. Whats that tell us about the world today compared to today?
