Thank you so much. My maternal grandfather was born in 1880 in Davenport, Iowa. The history guy got me started on this path with the 1880 blizzard. I am so grateful they survived on the edge of Davenport during that winter. My great grandfather Heinrich Ewoldt and his 6 sons fought a good fight, I’m sure. I also have a picture of my paternal great grandfather in a very deep ( maybe 12-15’ drift shoveling. He came from Switzerland to South Dakota. I have a feeling this may be the same storm. What perseverance by all. Bless those who perished.

It's hard to witness. The former pride and joy. Once maintenance stops they can go fast. Especially when the roof starts to go. Fixing a roof costs a lot, if the building isn't being used it won't happen. And those volunteer trees... Always a battle to keep them at bay!

These places were lost as the newer generations lost their sense of peoplehood, tradition and custom. It’s no wonder these historic places weren’t preserved. That first generation immigrants from Northern Europe laid the foundation - and we took it for granted, neglected it, and now it’s crumbling.

The barn breaks my heart, as the owner of a similar structure that I restored w/white metal roof and siding. Silo still stands w/a new german style roof. Wish all those wonderful buildings could be saved.

Awesome video, thank you for posting. I live in the area and always wanted more of the history on this. And was always curious if the homes to the east were part of the orphan home or not

I have personally been in and around the Buildings. Ive seen with my own eyes the places and things people imagine in the tunnels and off limits areas. Along with stories from relatives who worked there over many decades. Its a fascinating place that had a purpose but many were abused.

Very interesting, thanks! I see the Galloway name a lot in my collection of old farming magazines. Very nice to learn his business history. Neat to see that the barn was outfitted with equipment from the James Manufacturing Company. That equipment was made where I live (and still milk cows...) here in Fort Atkinson, WI.

Galloway gas engines were made by Waterloo gasoline engine co. Which later on became John Deere tractor works
@travismiranowski5 Ай бұрын
This is absolutely not true. Galloway's first engines were built in a plant in Wisconsin then shortly after were built in his new factory in Waterloo.
@Elis_farm_toys Ай бұрын
It is believed Some Galloway engine blocks and other parts where cast at the Waterloo boy gas engine plant under contract but where not made by Waterloo boy company. But this is not an indisputable fact. The Waterloo boy gas engine company casted for many company’s and their foundry ran 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Waterloo boy made many gas engine for some company’s called the contract engines. Some brands include T Eaton, Sheldon, majestic. But me thinks there was over 60 at one time? But Galloway did not use the Waterloo boy engines under contract to be their own. They made their own engine.
