In Use for only 3 years: Limestone Kilns of Canoe Creek Hollidaysburg, PA

[@Liescomefromtheright]

Anyone else see a place for a giant bell? Two square yokes flank the center circular chamber. Just thinking outloud. Love the footage, Emily.

You bring some amazing things to the table in our little community! People would never know of things like this if it wasn't for you and maybe Jon Levi and a couple others. I know i didn't know anything about stuff like this. It definitely helps to wake people up to the beautiful old world that is hidden from us for some reason. People lived in harmony all across the world and the "controllers", i believe, attacked them and overtook the people who lived here and have reeked havock every since! This makes you question every single thing we've been taught! 99% are totally fabricated and the other 1% is half truths twisted with complete nonsense! More and more people are WAKING UP to their shenanigans and you definitely played a big part in opening my eyes! Thank you guys for ALL YOU DO AND, OF COURSE, GOD BLESS 🙏❤️✌️

There is another great channel you might like, called "I_am_kairos" He explores a lot of cool structures as well!

Again great WORK. The structures are poured concrete. They were formed using rough cut lumber. Back then, aggragate was much cheaper then portland cement. Thats why all the rocks you pointed out. The end kiln looked liked someone use a sacking compound to make it smooth. Must have been falling apart. Over the years they found that using smaller aggragate and less of it made the structures stronger. Very interesting. The kilns give away their age just by its construction. Thanks again Emily. Good work you two....Greg

[@EmilySuzanne]

Thanks for the info Greg ☺ These places are so neat to explore and film!

[@hm7102]

The red bricks look much newer than the older structure underneath

[@MakeWayForTheLion]

6 enormous kilns with no backstory, what an oddity!

[@EmilySuzanne]

I was able to find info on it, typically places like this will offer information at the site, but not this one. Such a big construction to only run for 3 years, the stories never make sense! Thanks for watching ☺

Fascinating... cheers Em

[@EmilySuzanne]

☺ Thank you!

[@StirlingLighthouse]

Another cool adventure. Did they say where the limestone was mined from? Thanks Emily and Tom 🙏

[@EmilySuzanne]

Here's what I could find "Geologic formations in and around today's Canoe Creek State Park are rich in limestone. This limestone was extracted and used for many purposes, including supplying a raw material for the once thriving iron and steel industry of Pennsylvania."

I don't think that is mangled up rock, I think they might be petrified bones all chopped up.

[@NottaReelperson]

I wonder if they had a short bridge from the embankment behind that allow them to use wagons or dump trolleys, dump trucks to dump charcoal or coal, then lime stones (baseball size rocks) down into the kiln to quickly fill the kiln. Next after firing they where able to quickly empty the fired kiln? Looks semi modern. I wonder if the rolling kilns where invented about then and this ancient technology was found to be too labor intensive. And abandoned. Funny thing in videos from around the world they are still using this labor intensive method.

[@NottaReelperson]

The closeness to the stream of water is important. Maybe they slaked the lime using this water? Also may have been power?

[@EmilySuzanne]

I was able to find a diagram, showing that rails were used to bring the lime or coal (both) in, to be dumped. I'm having a hard time refinding that website though!
