it was a storage building behind the main structures that was holding some sort of explosive and hazardous chemicals that blew up. from what I am told, the trade building and others were not harmed.

A couple summers ago, I got my vehicle stuck really bad right there near that pillar. It was late and my son and I decided to just sleep and wait to call a friend for help in the morning. The next morning, as I’m getting my car pulled out, I hear little kids screaming. The water was high and rough at the time and I headed down to the bank. My son was saying it was just kids playing but I heard the fear in their voices and one of them yelling “I want mom!” Then I saw these two little boys clinging for life to a cheap little float and another little guy in the water hanging on the edge and they were moving so fast, all the way in the middle of the river. I jumped in with my boots and all and managed to catch up to them and drag them to shore. I know this has nothing to do with anything except the location, but it’s a good story and a true story. I’ve spent a lot of time around that river and even more off-road but that’s the one and only time I’ve ever gotten stuck and unable to get out. Also, I’ve been wanting to know more about the old bridge remains and I’m thrilled I stumbled upon this channel. I’m intrigued with history and lately it’s been East Tn I want to know more about.

Do you have any pictures of the Old Riggs Mill in Lowland area? I've found references to it in the Morristown Gazette and the Morristown Republican in 1907.
@Oldhistory 25 күн бұрын
@@janabarnes1791 i have never seen any pictures of it. I have an old postal map from about 1850 that has it listed, but other then that references are few and far between. It did come from the same Riggs family that built the house. but I’ve now learned that there were two unrelated septs of Riggs here at the same time, one line built this house and the mill, the other built the Riggs tavern in Russellville.

Frank Hopson (who’s name you’ll see in most of these news papers in this video) is the man smiling closest to the camera in the thumbnail. He was my grandfathers (Charlie Hopson) first cousin. I still live in Tazewell and own the original Hopson properties. Clarence’s descendants still live on the farm where he is buried and it’s no longer open to the public. My brother and I are the youngest heirs of the Hopson family farm.

There is a plantation house in Persia, actually Rogersville now, if you turn towards Persia in front of Cherokee HS, it is in the bottom on the right. Reynolds home, still in the family. Almost 900 acres at its largest. Built by slaves, the slave house stood for many years. There are Confedrate soldiers in the family cemetary. As a child I spent my summers there. We are now 7 or 8 generations deep in the area. It was still NC territory when my ancestors first settled here.

Very interesting. I'm always looking for more info on Rogersville.

He was known as John Neill back then, he later changed his last name to Rhines. He and his family was one of a few African-American families living there(11% to be exact). His parents weee Issac & Caroline.

Been to the tunnel so many times and done so much research on it that I don't really think it is as active as what people claim it to be. There have been people with me and who are paranormal researchers as myself who has never been to the tunnel before and said the same thing. I don't understand why according to KZbin "It's the Most Haunted Tunnel". As far as Rotherwood goes, the owner has it on lockdown where no one can visit it unless you know the owner personally. I've read and heard all the tales surrounding the property. Honestly I don't think it is as active what people have claimed it to be either. I've been on the river looking at the house and property at night before and never seen the daughter walking the river bank. I've been to the cemetery where Mr. Phipps and his family is buried and never saw or heard anything. Looking at the history of the property it's all "hear say" because there's no physical evidence to back up the tales. That's why they're called folklore tales. That's just my own personal opinion on the tunnel and Rotherwood

I grew up outside of Boston. For some reason we have an abundance of old world insane asylums. Since I can remember, I have always wondered why all insane asylums are in buildings fit for kings, or were so at some point in time. If you look at the demographics, at the time, the small population who could barely take care of themselves, simply couldn’t justify the building of such grandeur and opulence for the insane… It makes no sense. I recommend digging into this subject. I think it’s a fascinating question that demands an answer.
