That was the prettiest jail building I've seen! I agree its a shame they took it down.

Jeff, thank you for sharing this wonderful video! My family loved Walter Brennan, especially on "The Real McCoy's" and when he made some record albums, my parents had to get them all. We also watched "The Rifleman" & when it can out in reruns, of course we watched them too. The children of today have missed out, for my generation grew up with TV, The Baby Boomers, and when my sister & I get together, all we watch is reruns, even tho some we have seen it seems like hundreds of times.

I love history and looking at old photos and comparing them to current ones. I especially like seeing people who worked and spent time in the old photos. It makes it real somehow and to see the fashions etc. I appreciate now the people who took photos back then to document a building for history.

Great video hopefully you get to do content on businessmen from the 1800s cheers.

My wife and I spent àn anniversary night at the Holbrook,,,,love that place

I loved "Room 222" & part of the reason was because I was in High School from 1971 thru 1974 when i graduated on May 29, 1974 from Morrow Senior High School, Morrow, Georgia. I remember Karen Black in "The Great Gatsby" & my English class got to see the film. Too bad about Bobby Driscoll. It seems that too many young people get hooked on drugs & alcohol & end up committing suicide or die from the abuse that goes with it many times. Jeff thank you for sharing as I doubt I will ever get to California to see them myself.

My parents lived there for years, my family and I explored' almost every inch ,, most time in our little '47 Willys Jeep..,,even had a few ghost experiences

I was only 1 year old when my family had to evacuate. I loved listening to my mom retelling the story of that dark night.

0:00 Why is the population number hidden? I suspect a cover up. 😉

Grass valley has been so over advertised, that now it's over crowded and the crime begins. 😢not so great place to live anymore.

I was 27 living in Providence Rhode Island - Our local front page had a picture of the plane in flames and reportedly the Pilots Last Words - "I love You Mom" - Still Weeping as I type this - to this day I've never gone higher off the ground than an Amtrak

Mitch was a character for sure but also a real sweet guy. Thanks History Hunters for doing a splendid job with this video.

Thanks for sharing. Enjoy n b safe on your guys travels.

1848 to 1855

Thank you for sharing history about my mom's side of the family. Virgil Earp was my great great great grandfather!

Wanted to Thank you for the way you did this video honoring these Fallen Ofc’s.. As a retired Ofc some people don’t understand the danger faced everyday by Ofc’s. Your video definitely should give them a chill in watching and listening to their story.

Its so wierd seeing my town while randomly scrolling

Cool , grew up in that area and had no idea of that history.

Andy Williams had met Claudine, when he noticed that pretty woman, trying to change a spare tire on her car!...He stopped to help...he married her, and they had a couple of kids...Claudine dec ided to dump Andy...ironic, it seems, that eventually SHE was gonna get dumped by Spider!...Amazingly, Andy W illiams did comfort her after that trial...I think he likely did that, to show solidarity to his children. I think Claudine was just another narcissistic "gold digger", who could not face the fact that she was getting older, and less attractive.

Wait! What ?? 11,007 feet ??? Unbelievable! Mammoth mountain at the summit is 11,053 feet! That incredible ! 😳

What a beautiful property .. one of the most beautiful I have seen! I love these videos you do that show the old buildings plus the history of each place ! Another great video Jeff!! Thanks !!

I have always loved cemeteries, even when I was very young. My dad and I and my brother would go walking through the cemeteries. All in the Sierras are any towns where we would be on vacation and that continued for the rest of my life because there’s so much history there And you get to meet people through emotions by reading the epitaph they have them I lived in Oakhurst with my daughter for four years and we visited that cemetery in Oakhurst and the one in Mariposa many times and I always learn something new and we could actually see the cemetery in Oakhurst Church from our house my daughter actually lived in Oakhurst for about 10 years and before that they lived in three Rivers so we’ve done a lot of exploring and going to cemeteries throughout that area. Bodie is one of my favorite ones Aurora acouple times. With Virginia cemetery a few times and now I live in Tennessee and there is a cemetery on almost every corner where there’s a church it’s overwhelming to go to a cemetery anyways I love your channel and everything you’ve done that I’ve watched I’ve really liked and thank you

There was a mining company in 2012 that intended to reopen both the Idaho Maryland mine and the Empire mine but the local ranchers complained it would drain their wells. Even though the mining company promised to filter the water and pipe it to their ranches it was eventually shot down

An old book by Zane Gray, titled Wander Of The Wasteland, is loaded with very accurate information regarding Snelling and Bull Head City, AZ. locations mentioned actually exist. It mentions a place that overlooks Bull Head where the Indians inscribed rocks that are there too this day.

Being from Northfield, MN, I don't have any fondness for this guy. Married his cousin (gross) and confederate sympathizer (deplorable).

Watching on 25th September 2024, Very interesting and poignant video. Many thanks.

Great episode Jeff and Sarah. I've always loved the Grass Valley area!

@14:55 My old friend Julian Imsdahl lived in that green house (it used to be white, then blue, now green) with his father back in the day. He was a singer/guitarist/musician who had a local band called Legs On Earth some 30 years ago. I had another friend who was commissioned to photoshop a new paint job onto a photo of it when it was still white and the paint was all peeling off ~23 years ago. Grass Valley is my hometown, my old stomping grounds. It's changed a lot over the last 40 years! I've walked by everything you've shown here hundreds of times and never gave it much thought. I haven't lived there in over a decade but my mother lives downtown and we visit her a few times a year. It's always a strange feeling being back there after having spent years running amok around town for so long growing up. Thanks for sharing it with the world! :] PS: My mom lives in the green building right next to the Washington Brewery building @19:55

That rock was really tall. I think it was the last one you showed

FYI Another celebrity at the Mountain View Cemetery is rock guitarist Randy Rhoads.

Wow! Bringing back Modesto memories! I lived at George Lucas House 77/78 went to Somerset Middle School. My dad rented the house GL grew up in. Thanks for the Memories! Is that small airport still there? South of town surrounded by houses?

At the time the cover photo was taken, Highway 49 went down that street, logging trucks and all…Been there, done that 😉

One of the advantages of being born in 1955, was I grew up with watching what some would call classic TV. Many of the people you visited, I remember & those who were born beginning with the 2000's, missed out I believe. It's like what my sister & I remember about some of our close relatives have passed & my sister's grandchildren were cheated, as they were born after these died. Jeff, thanks for sharing!

R I P all who died on this day

Tiburcio vive

A mine SHAFT is vertical, best use "tunnel" for general purposes as that can be any inclination. A near horizontal tunnel is a drift or a tunnel, NOT a shaft. 19:17 a lathe. Used to fabricate round machine parts.

My mother and sister lived in Grass Valley in the late 70s. They loved it and I was happy to see what the town looks like today.

Nice video Thank you

Interesting

I like how other programs mentioned the show made years later.

RICH AMERICA. GOLD SILVER IGNOTS

We really enjoy visiting Grass Valley . You do a fantastic job.

I was born and raised there and never knew the story of that building. And this is the first time im seeing my town be shown on social media

Another great video Sarah and Jeff😂

My dad was a member of the rescue group from the Empire Mine in Grass Valley, seems there was another mine disaster at the Kennedy about that time.

Win town is just at the end of shaws flat where Jamestown road crosses that whole area was apparently considered. Due to all the hand windless holes dug all over like coyote holes people looking for gold .

I absolutely loved your presentation, I am a big history buff and the old west is like a feast for me to read about. And to see where wyatt and josephine lived over all thrir years, they went together all tge way. I could read or watch this for days on end .

Hometown of Brad Sweet and Matt DiBenedetto. I raced ince at the old Ernie Purcell race track, built on a baseball field

Grass....that's what weed was called back in the day man.....

Del Nort, not Del Nort-eee.
