Exploring 120 Year Old Farm House | Abandoned Farm Exploration

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

This was a cool day! We explored and filmed a lot, so there’s a lot more to come from this day! This old farm site was quite amazing. There’s still more to come of this place, too, so it’s kind of a part one video.... Thanks for Daniel and Matt for showing us around!

WOW Robert awesome house.

[@lightwavz]

One of the things I love most is hearing the slam of those plank screen doors. That's just the sound of home.

[@frankscarborough1428]

Live this video, the music at the beginning was so beautiful. Thanks

[@kpgartner]

It’s cool to hear stories from someone who knew the folks who lived there.

[@jaynebrown693]

Oh my... I am going crazy with the old house and all that fabulous wood on the walls and wood floors! Not to mention the doors! That view of the door from the outside ( the green door ). The screen door and transom widow and side windows..... OH MY!! I am in love! Thank YOU for the amazing walk around the place! So much history just setting and not being enjoyed by anyone..... sad. Thanks for this channel... it get very excited Robert when notification pops up with a NEW VIDEO!!!

[@sziltner]

Love the Matt's tee shirt "Grow Food - Build Stuff - Repeat" Amen! 👌

[@hoodoo_taco]

Gang, really great, and felt as if I was standing there with you all. Be a great place to save!

[@SueGirling68]

Wow it was so awesome to hear his family history of the house and the cotton fields, then to see that blacksmith forge and the house. I could listen to his history telling all day. A fantastic video guys, thank you so much for sharing. Come on now Robert no way were you 30 in 1985 lol, I would say you're not even that now. xx

[@lisad476]

What a grand house. Too bad it couldn't be fixed up again. The piano is awesome.

[@cdd4248]

While watching this I kept thinking about why not? Why is no one interested in living in it? Watching these 30 something guys walk through it; I would have been especially focused to do it at 30. I would have loved to poor my energy into a project like reclaiming this beautiful house.

[@johnamstutz]

What a a great place, nice to have the history from a family member!

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

Yes! We don’t get that often!

[@Jennynine]

Love it! ❤Thanks for the video Robert and Company. 👍

[@rosagarza5264]

this old farm house can be restored, I can see myself living there, love old houses and barns love to hear the history of them.

[@kimberleyannedemong5621]

Thank you for these videos. I enjoy them so much. After multiple back surgeries i can't explore for myself but you enable me to see history through your efforts. You always do a great job.

[@brendawhite9120]

[@user-randi1987]

What a nice little home, looks like it could be restored. Low ceilings though, can't have any tall people come to visit, lol. Thanks Robert and friends.

[@marymcguffin9370]

If i wasn't afraid of snake spiders & tick i would love to explore more but watching you guys and your adventures i still feel like it's a vacation with every video. Thanks for taking us along and everything you put in your trips. I could watch you all day . I love American history but i thank God i didn't live back then. I love my conveniences. But just to think of all those people went though.God bless them, and you guys for caring enough to show us the past. Keep up the great work. Be safe, I'm a viewer for life. 😁

[@Kittydoc90]

Absolutely wonderful video, Robert! So nice to have a family member walking through with you who could give a little history of the place-it brought it alive again. And that red room was my favorite-it was so bright and cheerful. Whatever the room was used for would have had a happy vibe. Thanks for posting this-I look forward to part 2.

[@ohioyodertoter6827]

great video as always as far as the piano restoring it won't change the memories you have of it nothing ever could id get it home cleaned up and keep it just for those memories !

[@williebeamish5879]

Nice job on the video tour. Loved your work. Thanks for the great history lesson. 👍

[@anonz975]

Great video. Matt and family should start to restore that old house. Would be a lovely place to have family gatherings or retire or as an SHTF bug out location.

[@yarnhappykim9294]

Amazing old home and the history, I'm surprised that they don't try to fix it up for the next generation of the family to know about it because it is well built , please be safe out there and God bless you and your family and friends , thank you so much for sharing 😃🍁🍂😃

[@TS-bn7zt]

Very interesting to watch with all the memories it sure added to the history of the house. You know I always wonder why the owners of these properties just leave them to just rot away? So much of the local history disappearing away. Great job guys, thank you.

[@missysanders83]

Love all of your videos. Really nice to see all the old stuff, houses, barns etc...just a shame no one really fixes them up and lives in most of there really old houses. That would be really nice. Great video as always.

[@TABrown-xh7xc]

Loving these videos up here in North Carolina! Keep up the great videos !

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

Thank you!

[@TABrown-xh7xc]

@@AdventuresIntoHistory your more than welcome I have been binge watching today because I had gotten behind . Don't worry I can watch and mow at the same time and use ear buds as hearing protection, lol . Did you ever find a grill for that old ford ? And tell Omar a ghia build would get my sub !

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

I never did find a grill for that car. Long story, but I had the old Ford towed down to my shop and it was damaged during tow. Really broke my heart and I sold it shortly after. I actually have a Ghia down at the VW shop I manage. I’ll film it with Omar one day, like we did my 57 Chevrolet. I’ll also try to sell him the Ghia so he can build it hahaha Anyway, thanks again!

[@lindanwfirefighter4973]

Love the pine trees in the last shot. Beautiful.

[@sandyca1106]

I'm enjoying your videos, found you last week and subbed. I like that you film the details of this house, though I would have liked to have seen the old wall paper pattern. Filming the space/attic and under the house were excellent, and pointing out the hand carved beams.

[@colleencrane4843]

You can feel the history / from this house, I really wish he could get that Piano out of there, I know it is hard to, such a shame, to see sit there, but I understand his position it,Loved this tour Thank you so much!

[@leemajors8326]

That old house is holding up pretty good 👍

[@bethshadid2087]

That was amazing, thank you. Love these simple but extravagant old homes, reminds me of family and childhood 🤗. Lady that kept me and my lil sis when we were Young had no indoor plumbing so many trips to outhouse and we'll water....so cold and good 👍. Oh man you yunguns in 85 I was 17 🤦.

[@marthakierstead3415]

Interesting video ! First non cemetery explore that I’ve watched and I truly enjoyed it ! Thank you Robert and team - watching from PA

[@arianneverhagen9836]

beautiful house !! you dont see them build like that here in the netherlands for sure here you get allot of concrete and bricks i love the houses over there 🇳🇱😉👍

Awesome and amazing video and the history on that place is so cool thanks Robert

[@aneta2293]

When the old people pass away the younger generation don't take care of anything. THANK for the video I do appreciate.😊

[@MrJeep75]

Never thought about the construction of houses back then but it make sense

[@tigerfan8244]

I love your videos Robert! Every one of them is step back in time, like a history lesson! That piano is something special. I hope he finds a way to rescue it. Even if he doesn’t restore it, I’d hate to see it fall apart or be vandalized.

[@lydafrazier7764]

The house is so beautiful.♥️

[@karynbrown7519]

That front door is lovely also!

[@davetruther31]

It's a crying shame that someone does not restore or at least upkeep that old farm house..

[@anonz975]

I completely agree. His family obviously still owns it so they should take care of it before it falls into decay! Right now it wouldn't take that much to get it livable again.

[@benjmatautia2402]

I would love to see this house restored! it would be beautiful, Great video 👍🏽

[@kathygalloway2990]

Thanks for sharing guys, I love these old homes, I lived in one similar to this one when I was a child about 52 years ago, my Mom tells me stories of when my Pawpaw was a sharecropper and how they would move often I'm certain they lived over in Georgia at one point in time picking cotton, I live in East Central Al

[@bestofsmall]

Wow! such a lovely old place and amazing how it was built and the things they used those rocks and old beams were awesome! Isn't it amazing it's still standing and looks like it wouldn't take a lot to make it livable again I hope someone decides it's worthwhile to rescue it.I can only imagine all the love and good times those walls remember.Thanks again for taking us with you very enjoyable journey.

[@armorvestrus6882]

Cheers to you guys, from Tennessee. I remember when many old houses had those very tall windows that came down almost to the floor. It brings back many memories of days gone by.

[@SondraD7676]

It makes me very sad to see this one. It reminds me so of my grandparents farm house in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky, which was empty for years and was purposely burned down by arsonists. It makes me home sick and long for my childhood days and staying with them in the summers. There was no better joy than going down that old dirt road to their place and seeing them waving from the porch.

[@Deb-c8b]

Awesome guys thanks for sharing

[@bogmcq5651]

What a great 👍 cozy house 🏠 & awesome adventure! Honestly to me it would be worth the investment to fix up that piano 🎹 especially before it gets more worn ... being he recalls it from his youth it is rare & priceless!

[@jeanette8943]

My home is 100+ years old. When we took up carpet and tile to expose beautiful wood floor, we could see where bedroom walls were before they put in a bathroom. Pay attention to the floors and ceiling joists!

[@williebeamish5879]

Ours too. Yup.

[@margaretgarls153]

My grandmother had an apartment in her Queen Anne house on the first floor also. She rented it out and she also took in boarders. People did what they had to do to make ends meet. She also had family members live with her when they had no where else to go. So sad that houses are falling into disrepair and being torn down.

[@1M005E1]

Lovely. Y'all stay safe and hydrated.

[@kdl28]

Another great video.

[@diannenaworensky6698]

Just found your channel by chance. Stayed and subscribed because it's history of the South. Thanks !!! Yall be careful, I think Copperheads are common in that area. Never mind the Ticks and Chiggers. Just thought I'd comment that most people hear the words cotton farm and immediately think slaves. Sharecroppers were poor people that were just trying to support their families with a crop of whatever. This family farmed cotton. ✌🏻❤

[@michellereid6857]

Its a pity the grandson didnt have any photos of what the farm looked like back then. A lot of history can be told from cotton feilds. Interesting vlog carnt wait to see what comes next.

[@karynbrown7519]

That window would be awesome to save!

[@coverscornersurburbanhomes6235]

I have just recently found your channel and have been binge-watching your videos. LOL I'm a history buff, and have been doing my family's genealogy for many years. Thanks for taking such care with these awesome pieces of history! Now I want to get out and go "hunting". Side-note...I love the young mans' Sow the Land tee shirt. I follow their channel as well. LOL ~ Stephanie

[@dragonboy8939]

I really enjoyed this video very cool keep up good work

[@davidredfearn664]

That house looks restorable and needs to be brought back to life. From a Musician's point of view. If that piano was fixed up and tuned, it will sound better than a new piano. That makes it worth more than it's value on money.

Look for Roman numerals on the on the major beams and it will tell the age , a barn I help rebuild had them .

[@ericfeick4270]

Have you heard of or ever explored the train wreck incident at Camp Creek just outside McDonough Ga....it happened in 1905 I believe killing 49 people. The trestle washed away from a huge rain storm. Apparently the engineer wanted to wait the storm out but the conductor said no...they only made it a few miles before disaster hit.

[@karynbrown7519]

You could also repurpose the fire places!

[@marydegenkolb9603]

You can dismantle a piano and take it out piece by piece. The soundboard is the heaviest part. But clean it up, and just keep it as a fond memory of his time with that family. Its called a Shotgun, and that is how you stayed cool at night. Did not need door locks back then.

[@janedoe3880]

Your friend must be so sad that the house has fallen apart 😢

[@katbot2190]

Robert this isn't your house that you are working on now is it?

[@the_eternal_student]

It is important that you support the representation of the small towns and rural areas as a place of family values or science. If the rural areas and small town were not overwhelmed with gangsters and prostitutes the ghettos would not arise and spread.

[@OdySlim]

I really like that house. I looks structurally sound. Too bad some horses ass ripped off the door handles.

[@tereasacarty8000]

1985 in the country is diff than 1985 in the city

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

Very true

[@larryb8022]

Robert, I like you use to do about the same thing. As a kid in the 50s I would explore old houses people just left it empty. I go in if I was able and it was scary just me. These houses were built early 1900 so it was a big deal to me. I fine notebooks mechanical pencils from the early 1900s well. Pens Fountain Pens briefcases all old vintage type which I didn’t know it was because I was just a kid but it was very interesting to me I also found old dishes cups and saucers utensils again it was interesting to me that I wanted to explore dishes what I knew I wanted to do. I would put my hands on the wall and actually talk to the house I know it’s kind of weird but I would always say if these walls could talk what would they tell me and if they could hear it they hear my words. Then later as I got older around 12 years old I would explore the woods the streams The parks and see what I could fine. In my later years around 18 or 19 years old me and some friends would explore some old abandoned farms that were dated back to the 1930s and that was really a high for us to story all the abandon homes with a barn. So I totally get what you do and I’m glad that you and your buddies are still doing the stuff because if people aren’t out there doing what you do all of this important history would be gone and I do not believe that this should be forgotten, it’s part of our land part of us it’s part of nature people once live or work their.

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

That is awesome.

“A cow n the roof of a cotton house”. Oh, Brother. 6:30 pretty well proves that snakes don’t come out and attack people, even those with bare legs and low top boots. You gotta a nerve. Not me and I am an old snake catching guy from the U. S. Forest service in the 1960’s up in North Carolina. There’s been a many a good pot ah beans “biled”in that old house. A hundred years ago this place was state of the art and property taxes were probably zero or just one or two dollars a year. When punemonia or the flu or TB got you many times you just died. If those walls could talk.

[@angiebrockett7621]

Not sure why he wasn't taking on this home to restore it for family.

[@katc.7770]

It’s not a proper abandoned house without an old upright piano in it.

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

Right!

That's a beautiful piano! I would be afraid it would start playing by itself, though! @_@

[@sharonlegnon427]

A lot of mud dobber nests in the attic!!!! I don't know....I would of kept the place up. That is history. That is why the ceilings are high - heat rises.

I wonder if the grandson Ownes it or other family members own it??? I think the house and other building could be restored if someone could afford to do it ! Too many historical houses are out there that can be saved. Great video!👍p.s. please be care with ticks always spray with tick spray, i know someone that got lime from a tick bite and it can be very scary! I witness how bad lime can get! Just a heads ☝ for y'all out there!

Poor old house I live in Vt. And you can see that this home was built for your weather down there, up here it gets very cold in winter and about 4 months of growing weather. This is a great family home sad to see it dying slowly and people stealing from it. Totally rude! Please cover that piano to protect it unit it cann find a way to it’s new home. Be safe!
