Barns of Appalachia

[@foxecarpentress4964]

They knew how to build’em!!! Beautiful. 🙌🕊️❤️🕊️🙌

[@Fortis_Bellator]

I'm so glad you suggested this to me! Once again the music pairs perfectly with the video. I look at these old barns and can envision all the action they must have seen, before the land owners dragged their tired bodies inside the house, after a hard day's work. Feels just like home!

[@TheAppalachianStoryteller]

I loved filming this video, was such a treat

[@mildredrharmon4032]

I love old houses and barns! God sure has blessed us!

[@TheAppalachianStoryteller]

[@rickspringfield8083]

Old barns and homes are something I'm so attracted to - these are amazing, thank you for this vid, if only the walls could talk, to think of their stories, hard times among the best of times. ❤️

[@TheAppalachianStoryteller]

Thank you my friend!

[@marionbowler5440]

Truly beautiful, and everyday getting less and less, sad really. Thank you for sharing JD. 🍁❤️🙏

I love the old barns so much 💕

[@TheAppalachianStoryteller]

Yes ma'am. They are beautiful

I've got a piece of Black Locust from a hundred year old barn. I count about 45 rings to the inch. This tree grew in the close shade of other trees its whole life - that's difference between Old Growth and tree farm wood. It makes beautiful handles for my stitching awls.

My daddy built barns for 60+ years. I'm not sure who taught him but his name Clois Pitt is known to most all farmers in this area. The fired tobacco smoking for many counties have had his hands on them. He can read but his writing not so well but he can figure a barn top to finish in his head. He retired 3 years ago at 80. Irish ancestors and the old way of life. By the way my granny was surprised by having a twin so his sister is Lois and he got the name Clois with no middle name.

Used to be an Octagonal barn between Johnson City and Erwin. And I knew of a barn built out of Chestnut, Walnut and oak with beams that were 18 to 24 inches thick . It was a great old barn ,the last time I saw it about 15 years ago it was slowest being surrounded by subdivisions.

[@TheAppalachianStoryteller]

Where was the chestnut barn?

[@dRTAdave]

lovely music. you're videos are all amazing. thank you.

[@TheAppalachianStoryteller]

Thanks so much- I appreciate your support

[@lillianmasters]

Beautiful, Thank you for taking time to do these videos. The music is great, I love your videos.

[@TheAppalachianStoryteller]

Thank you ❤️

[@jbon5]

I love the country roads just for the old barns along the side.

[@TheAppalachianStoryteller]

me too, I always ponder the stories they could tell.

[@marcboblee1863]

This is an excellent production...thank you for posting this video.... much appreciated...

[@TheAppalachianStoryteller]

I love this video

[@nancyyonce2906]

BEAUTIFUL VIDEO !!! THANK YOU

[@TheAppalachianStoryteller]

Thanks Nancy

[@tracicomstock6525]

There is something enchanting about the one with the house on top. I love it for some reason. The floor would be warm from rising heat from livestock.

[@TheAppalachianStoryteller]

I absolutely love this video. I still remember the day I spent riding for nearly 10 hours just to film barns. My heart was full

[@susanspicer2251]

Love these old barns along Highway 58, especially the first one (the old horse barn), which has always been my favorite one to see. I just wish the owner could restore it and not let it ruin.

[@TheAppalachianStoryteller]

Indeed

[@itssherrypikes708]

so relaxing, I want to move there

[@TheAppalachianStoryteller]

its beautiful

[@sheilahenry7279]

These are so pretty. A kind of new trend in building & on KZbin is Barndominions . I’ve only seen one completed but it’s near my home & I love it

[@TheAppalachianStoryteller]

My wife wants a barndomium

[@lisahernandez36]

God so sad to see these barns that held so much time slowly fading away!😪

[@TheAppalachianStoryteller]

Well said Lisa! I will say that when I was filming the see rock city barn , a very old man that owned the park pulled up in a very old farm truck and gave me the complete story of how all the barns were painted. He was so amazed by the drone I was using and warned me to tell any neighbors that he had given me permission to tell the story

[@stevepayton8241]

great

[@TheAppalachianStoryteller]

Thank you Sir

[@James-yg4xu]

These old chestnut and walnut barns of North Georgia are still there and will be for many years to come

[@TheAppalachianStoryteller]

yes sir, chestnut tree was an amazing wood

[@oceanwaves83]

Just out of sight: over 10 candidates for largest wasp nest ever recorded 🤣

[@loribrown3764]

Would be nice to know where each of these barns are located. I really like old barns and take pictures of them often. Thanks!

[@TheAppalachianStoryteller]

I can tell you, the GOLDMINE of barns is highway 58 in-between Chattanooga and Kingston TN

[@cynthiacarter514]

I do not know what it is called but when the only sound was your finger sliding down the guitar string was surreal.

[@TheAppalachianStoryteller]

Thanks so much for that- I wrote that song, it’s called “peace”. It was played at my aunts funeral, the moment you are referring to, was my way of expressing that in that moment in time, there were no words, and all you can do is breathe

[@MankindFilm]

Did you make some videos unlisted recently? I remember an old farmhouse video you had and I can’t find it

[@TheAppalachianStoryteller]

It was probably moved to my second channel @theappalachiachannel which focuses on shorter videos.

[@johnpeddicord4932]

Enjoyed ,if only those barns could talk

[@TheAppalachianStoryteller]

Amen

[@bobgolden5006]

We have a 100 year plus tobacco barn and I would love to have a 4k quality video of it.

[@TheAppalachianStoryteller]

where are you located?

[@bobgolden5006]

@@TheAppalachianStoryteller we are in the Bean Station area.

Ps, love the bit of asian in your music.🍁

[@TheAppalachianStoryteller]

Thank you so much my wife is Filipino and my son is a product of that mix

[@stardrifter1961]

Title on fb sayes you drove 10 hrrs. Fake news,All shot are Arial shots,But good shots of barns,Is this really in Tn?

[@TheAppalachianStoryteller]

Your comment is fake news. I drove from Oak Ridge TN to Chattanooga and back on back roads while filming at over 100 locations along the way with my drone. ALL in Tennessee.

[@tracyd68]

Sure is. The ones I recognized were all within a few miles of me.

[@TheAppalachianStoryteller]

@@tracyd68 indeed

[@melindashannon1015]

I wanted to like this but the music is awful. Traditional music of Appalachia would have been a far better choice.

[@TheAppalachianStoryteller]

ouch. I composed all of the music over the past 10 years. I tried to include all kinds of styles including Asian since my wife is asian and my son is American asian and we live in the mountains of Appalachia.

[@kitchiesmom]

@@TheAppalachianStoryteller the music is absolutely beautiful and blends well with the scenery. Thank you for sharing.

[@TheAppalachianStoryteller]
