HOMESTEAD LAYOUT FROM THE 1800s!

My brother went to a 2 room schoolhouse. Grades 1-4 in one room & 5-8 in the other. We were talking about how good the education was .

[@pollyjetix2027]

As a farm-raised Mennonite kid (one of nine children) I strongly agree that children are not slave labor. One of the main problems in today's society is that children do not feel needed, by their families. Truly, everyone needs to feel important... that what they contribute is essential to their family unit. To children, who think in concrete, literal terms, this needs to be physical labor. I worked very hard from a very young age, on our 60-acre fruit-and-vegetable-farm (with family back yard bakery). I remember getting up every morning at 6 a.m. to milk the cow by hand, strain the milk, and clean up in time to go to school, at age 12. And in the afternoon, the schedule required a quick clothes-change, before gathering the hundreds of eggs, putting them into the cool basement, going to the house to help make supper, and then again milking the cow at 6 p.m. Homework was done after dark. And that doesn't begin to touch the endless line of foster babies we cared for, the long summer days of hoeing and harvesting produce, or the wee hours in the bakery. Remember, there were nine born to my mother. (Plus scores of foster babies.) And yet, through it all, my parents made sure to have time to share watermelon at the big picnic table by the pond in the front yard... and sometimes a hotdog roast down at the "big pond". Children who work on their homesteads have their roots down deep. They make productive adults.

I feel needed. You don't need to live on a farm doing 24 7 labor to feel needed. Ask a young person what they feel, don't talk for us.

[@kitsune2367]

@@loganm8220 i agree

[@wiros8101]

@@loganm8220 24/7 labor? Don't act like living on a farm is abuse. You are a whiny city twerp. Sure you feel needed, you're a spoiled brat.

[@m.h.lockesteppe9834]

@@wiros8101 Well, goodness me. They did not state that it was abuse, just that it is not the only way for a young person to feel needed. Farm life can be good, it can be bad. Like a lot of other things. Is it too much to ask for a young person to be listened to?

[@michelewhitewolf1298]

I believe that one of the reasons for a seperate kitchen was safety. Back in the day the greatest threat in a kitchen is fire, seperating the kitchen seperate gave a fire break protecting the main house. It also kept all of the food processing trash, spoilage ect, out of the house. Love your presentation, have you been to Cades Cove just off of the Smokey Mt scenic drive. Look it up you will not be disapointed.

[@jamescurtis1226]

While a Schoolhouse of the 1800's may have only taught to the 8th grade, the test that they were given couldn't be passed by most of our current population regardless of age.

[@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY]

Sad but true

[@loganm8220]

I wish I liked school like they used to.

[@lindahernandez8693]

My ex’s grandfather graduated at age 15. Farmer with many skills. Smart! Went to one room school, learned quickly bc he would listen to older kids schooling.

[@deborahjoyvalentine6180]

SO FRIGIN TRUE! I was thinking the same thing.

[@tpfarm3535]

Absolutely loved this tour! Comparing all of the rooms, furnishings, tools, buildings...my great grandparents lived very primitive. That was living in luxury back then - minus the air conditioning! 😃

[@underthecarolinasky2363]

Doug n Stacey, I loved this! I grew up spending summers on an Amish farm in Bremen, Indiana. My father had a very unique relationship with a particular Amish family. The respected my dad very much. We are still friends to this day. My dad would help the Amish build during the summer. I spent my days running and playing with the Amish children, and even helping with chores. It was so much fun! I miss that life. My wife of almost 32 years likes the finer things in life. I HATE it! Just give me the Homestead Life! lol really enjoyed the history lesson on this one as well. -You guys are great! -Mike

[@khadijagwen]

To make it clear what you are looking at, in the Kitchen, the actual fire was in the back of the fire place, and the metal thing she was swinging in and out was called a "Wife Saver". The pots hung on that thing and were swung over the fire and to stir it or whatever, she swung it out so she did not get her voluminous skirts ablaze by getting too close. In our homestead house in Oregon in the early 50's, there was no sink but a long countertop with a sheetmetal depression that drained out the wall. At first we had no running water inside until the men got cold water in there from a spring a quarter mile up on the hill. I enjoyed your video, and hope that you eventually get people who have actually used that stuff and perhaps lived that way.

[@deborahjoyvalentine6180]

Sounds like you can write or video some hisoric trivia 🤗 I'd love to hear more!

[@linneystambaugh2082]

i can't believe I haven't watched this one before. I love seeing the progress you are making on your mom's house. Godspeed.

[@CiecieNewson]

You never have to say, "I hope you enjoy this." Doug & Stacy, you all do an absolutely brilliant job at showcasing on these field trips. I can't say enough. This was a great time watching this morning. I put aside almost an hour to watch both parts together. Thank you. ~Smile!

[@susant4508]

Very interesting. Glad these buildings are being preserved, too much is torn down these days. Also shows how ingenious people were. Thank you for taking us with you! Field trip Friday's are great!

[@MichelleThatOneGirl]

My family farm, in Michigan, employed day laborers during the harvest. They ate at the dining room table along with the family. None were slaves. They made better wages than my grandmother and her siblings made working right along them. Spoiler alert: Kids worked for free. Excellent video again, you two. The history is right up my alley. Shalom.

I LOVE LOVE LOVED IT!!!!! THANK YOU DOUG & STACY FOR TAKING US ALONG WITH YOU ON THIS FABULOUS DANIEL BOONE HOMESTEAD TOUR!!!! PLEASE DO MORE LIKE THIS WAS AWESOME!!! 👏🏼👌🏼♥️✌🏼👍🏼🙏🏼

[@humblehalfacre8464]

This was fun! I'm a 5th generation grandchild of Daniel Boone through his daughter Delinda Boone. I've been wanting to visit that property to get a feel for what life was truely like then. I've only seen the still pictures thus far.

[@Victoriaxx08]

HumbleHalfAcre I’ve been to one of his cabins in Kentucky!

[@tailwindplantation6242]

HumbleHalfAcre, if you haven't had a chance yet, visit Clark County, Kentucky. That whole area has a lot of Boone history and related events, including an annual festival in Winchester around Labor Day. Just over the Kentucky River, heading from Winchester towards Richmond, KY is Fort Booneborough, too.

[@mastercraftsmancnmi9907]

thank you for the tour! It's reminiscent of my years as a school boy and learning 'the craft' from my father. I hope and pray that the old ways will not be forgotten and our young ones not lose their way in the opulence and decadence of the modern times. So to speak.

[@tonyharrison2542]

Doug and Stacy, this segment was so awesome - loved it. I only discovered you guys about 6 months ago and instantly fell in love with what you do!

[@truebornsonofliberty554]

Loved this field trip. And the length of these videos are completely appropriate in proportion to the effort you've taken to create this content for us. Thank you.

[@annafye129]

I love this video I know it's been a while but it's new to me. Thank you for saving it

[@LifeinFarmland]

That fireplace is insane. When you think about the hours and labor that went into some of the wood work projects from the past. Just insane. Tours like this make you take a second thought and really appreciate it.

[@deborahjoyvalentine6180]

Seeing these huge and practical lifestyles built by hand, makes you wonder why technology is so revered?? Could it be SALES $$

[@rivers613]

The Amish has great skills to build, live off the earth, I've always admired their dedication & mastery carpentry & farmer skills, even the woman make beautiful quilts & crafts, they are just amazing! And the Mennonite as well!

[@MzClementine]

I'm going to cry your kitchen house is like my Uncle Ernie's kitchen house. I grew up with that. The fireplace was so big. I used to tell them they could cook 10 children in that fireplace. I used to ask my Uncle if he stole it from the witch that like to eat children. I had a vibrant imagination. Gosh this makes me emotional. Growing up on his farm, I can't express how wonderful it was. It was hard. You would work hard on his farm. But it was so much fun. Being surrounded by my cousins my family. Animals. Absolutely decadent delicious foods. When he opened the door and let the light in I gassed and tears started rolling up in my eyes. Wow I can't believe how much it's like my uncle's. Many of the women in the neighborhood would collectively cook and bake at my Aunt Joyce's cookhouse. They would do it together and sell baked goods at the Farmers market. When you would come around the corner to my uncle's farm, oh the smells and the sights the hustling and bustling of kids running around doing chores. All the women in aprons Dusty from flower. Pulling out their fresh baked breads. Taking numbers of how many they have baked and how much more they have to make. Geese and goats chasing us as we're running back and forth doing whatever we could do that was asked of us. Oh such lovely memories. I don't have any of these family members with me anymore. When my uncle passed away, I spoke at his urology. My grandmother was the city type. And she would force me to go to my uncle's farm. Which at first they looked upon me as the city type. Well I broke that assumption. When I spoke of how much I loved everything that we did and how hard it was physically and the struggles that we went through. And the connectivity that we had. There wasn't a dry eye when I got done speaking. They all clapped. And said that was absolutely beautiful. My cousin jumped up and gave me the biggest hug he's 51. He said thank you for seeing such kind words and making us see how great our lives really were. He spoke out and said my dad was a farmer through and through and he worked us hard. I used to think to myself, it's not fair that Daddy forces us to live this life. From outsiders perspective, you wanted to get into our lives and we wanted to get into yours. And all essence we did have a lot of fun. And we were never without. Gosh I'm only 4 minutes in and I'm all emotional. It's like brought back floods of my childhood. My uncle built a home specifically for beehives. He was called the Queen's quarters. He was well known for his honey.

[@countrycraftsman5110]

Great field trip. Thanks for the tour. And no leg cramps from travel. I grew up on a small farm. People were just starting to talk about children working on the farm as being terrible. We got home from school went directly in and changed into work clothes. Worked till dinner then back out for a bit. We all had a lot of fun as well. The same people complaining about children working have kids doing hours on end of homework. I loved the chores since a lot was with the animals. I am in my 50's the baby of 6 kids. We all look back on those days fondly with no regrets. Rather split wood to this day then do homework.

[@jleeraske6122]

Such beautiful wood workings in that Daniel Boone house, the doors the fireplace mantel the trim...so much wonderful craftsmanship!!

[@simidhel]

I've looked forward to this since Friday and it didn't disappoint, thank you. Loved seeing the carpenter workshop and Daniel's home was much larger and more lavish than I'd expected. I loved the schoolroom, which was similar to the one my dad attended even in the 1920s which only had 9 kids in the entire school before he left at 13 to be a ploughboy. :)

The family created a close knit family, as with the family community created close knit communities. Love that! I know I was born in the wrong century.

[@tanapittsford5067]

I would love to live like this. My husband is the hold up. He is a modern farmer, and I'm an old school farmer/homesteader. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@mboone84]

I got very excited when you revealed the home you toured. Daniel Boone is my so many greats grandfather. When you revealed it I turned to my younger children and said that is your great, great, great, great grandfathers house... My older children already knew and lifted their heads from their phones and said how cool. They all watched because we have never had the ability to visit there. Anyway, we watched the part where he said that he died in the bed. Then at the end when you said he had a Facebook page my 5-year-old turned to me with a confused look on his face and said... uh, that guy is dead. Funny stuff! I loved the video! FYI We are off grid and getting ready to build our house. Funny, much like the one he lived in. Traditional farm house style.

[@WendyK656]

Amen Doug! that is teaching our kids to be adults. I just fell upon your page just today.

[@tammyhanson7843]

The “ click- click- click” of the chalk on the chalkboard is special to me I guess. It made me smile BIG. I didn’t hear about a very important out building called “The Pest House” or I missed it. My father grew up in Wisconsin, on a huge farm. He was born in 1924. The pest House is where a sick family member would stay until the sickness was gone, as to not pass it on to the family. One designated family member was assigned to stay and care for the sick. Water, food etc was left outside the pest House door. If anyone has heard of this,please let me know, thanks

[@rainingyarrow540]

Smart idea. A pestilence house to quarantine the sick.

Love your channel! The videos are such a relief from what is going on in the secular world, as well as, learning self sufficiency. Being of North American French descent myself I can relate to a lot of early history and love seeing it preserved. The early French and Spanish being Catholic didn't bring their women and children to the new world. Many of them settled/colonized by taking native women as brides and converting them to Christianity. Many of the present day descendants have Native North & Central American lineage.

[@randomsecrets]

4:58 The small doors have *NOTHING* to do with cooling stuff off. (this tour guide didn't know much at all) My family homes from the same time period had almost this exact set up. The smaller doors were access doors to the pilled up wood or coal right outside of the doors, they were literally pass through doors so the women didn't have to go outside in the cold or snow to get more wood for the fireplace, just simply open the door, grab the wood you needed that the men and boys had stacked up at the doors on the outside. LOTS of old homes here still have the wood access doors near the fireplace or in the kitchen. Also, my grandmother's home had almost the exact same side "burner" with copper kettle on top for heating water, she would keep it hot for Tea and Coffee for the farmhands during the winter. You were EXACTLY right about it, and it's use, then he was like "um, i'm not sure that's what its for" Someone please educate this tour guide as he seemed to be guessing at most of the stuff.

[@Fergusbaddog]

The guide for the property really knows his stuff! Awesome vid!
