I love this channel. It's like a mini PBS channel full of Southern history.

[@lowcountryantiques3696]

This is so true, but we have the best host.........

[@williampeters8776]

Enjoy all your video’s, this was one of my favorites, looking forward to the future video s

[@sandrabrown6326]

What a wonderful lady and a great old building. I sure hope it does not ever get tore down. I hope the Town state or whoever does not let them. The foundation looks like it needs help soon. So much of the past is stored in that building. Would love to visit that area someday. Thank you for the video so wonderful to see.

[@joanncoopertroupe3506]

What a Great Historical place! what a wonderful Ladie!!

[@ronmack1767]

I got this older video from youtube when I was watching something else today. It's wonderful. She's so awesome. I love the saved history and her desire to keep the 'lightbulb' burning.

[@debluetailfly]

Great job John I've been right through this area many times was always on too tight of a schedule . I remember this building the Amish I was with told me some of it's history but this is awesome coverage of this town. I ask the Amish how the town got it's name but they were not sure. Now I know. Thank you.

[@paulyoung5327]

The flat belt pulley system was called a line shaft . Each machine had a clutch mechanism and the line shaft ran all day.

[@marylthompson9]

Just awesome a wonderful video. Thank you. Lot of history in that state. Can you show more.

[@theappalachianchannel]

More to come!

[@chericovrett5054]

We was able to shop their. We loved it. It was my favorite store.

[@user-pl7bn2rt2d]

WOW 😲😳 this was absolutely amazing. Thanks so very much for everything you do John

[@theappalachianchannel]

Thank you

[@janetparrish3429]

That Zooks store and history was amazing. Love Lancaster county PA

[@tammyvaughn6662]

My Foster Dad came from Belleville, PA. She wondered about how the Amish getting the farmland. I'll research that.

[@onrycodger]

Wow! They most certainly don't make light bulbs that will last like that. That's really cool 😎 👍

[@karyannfontaine8757]

Intercourse certainly is an unusual name. Thank you for the history of this building.

[@lowcountryantiques3696]

This is so true that the building would shake when all the belt was turning. My great-grandfather had a cabinet shop with the same design as the belts, and a couple of times with my grandfather would cut them on so we, the grandchildren, could see. They are still in business to this day, making custom cabinet and selling pre-fab cabinet. I have read the first fire department was organized in the furniture store in 1911 for this town.......Great Video John.....

[@sunnyskye213]

My kinda gal; passionate at preserving history.....SO IMPORTANT! THANK U, SO MUCH.....["Turnabout" instead of a 'stop-light'!!!!]

[@robertlusnia506]

Been to this place very interesting

[@swmarb5236]

Hey John. Power way back would've been a waterwheel. Then steam engine. Then electric turbine, as technology advanced. Animal & wind power were options too. Ill bet the way the floor was patched from the basement, it was water driven origunally. She said the basement still gets wet. & yes, Amish still use oil lights.........Bath, Oh.

[@tonyhabhab3093]

Love it John keep them coming 👍

[@jeffmame605]

Been there, it's cool. I love Lancaster County, wife and I visit from Bucks County, near Philly, quiet often. We usually stay at an old Mennonite bed and breakfast on Old Philadelphia Pike near by.

[@jimmymalone3494]

I enjoyed your video' she was a sweet lady.

[@nicoleneuman24]

She's a great historian and has a wonderful personality. I wish that I could visit her store.

[@jasonmarshall7983]

All the old buildings generally have tall ceilings and Tall doors and they have basements

[@Diddley-js6lf]

That’s very interesting, they could have used Horse Wheel which the Horse is hooked to a harness then walks in a circle driving a Belt System in turn powering the Saws. That was a very common Grist Mill operation where there was not enough Water.

[@lazybastardgarage]

Awesome history lesson. I would hope that building will be saved from 'progress'. Maybe could be registered as historic and saved.

[@jasonmarshall7983]

She even admitted there is a fireplace arch in the basement of her house that tells you right there that house was completely at a lower level at one time

[@stefherman2375]

Thanks!

Was always told they changed it from the name cross roads to intercourse to to there being few towns near by with the name crossroads.

[@davidkimmel4216]

Wonderful video

[@melindablankenship1104]

Very cool 😎

[@johnsteele6773]

Sorry can't stop watching. Oklahoma City

[@theappalachianchannel]

thank for all the comment on my videos my friend.

[@the_eternal_student]

so much concrete, so little grass. the building looked nice. it would have been awesome to see the wagon works. that old light bulb was amazing. overpopulation is not progress, but what are you going to do?

[@ninakerstetter579]

It may be progress, but it would be a shame to lose the charm of this area. So much history!

[@Castleknight]

[@ted70281]

[@richardashcraft7200]

Intercourse is a reference to a point inbetween a minimum of 2 other points. Commerce was a factor. A meeting place

[@theappalachianchannel]

Thank you!!

[@ralphups7782]

The s backwards I believe in the picture frame is somebody who has dyslexia. I know this because I am dyslexic but I think that's probably why it's backwards
