RARE 1700s Farmhouse Forgotten Deep in the Woods

In collaboration with ‪@DDExplores‬
I found a rare example of a 1700s working-class home that is slowly succumbing to nature. The historical tried saving it decades ago as this is 1 of only 2 examples of this style home. But, no additional funding could be obtained.
I had tried reaching out to see what I could do. The State had gotten back to me with resources to reach out and had indicated that they believe this is eligible for grants, but, I'm running into dead ends with no responses from those resources I had reached out to.

Beautiful old farmhouse. Love the staircase behind the fireplace. Nice seeing a video of yours. Happy Easter to you and the family 🤗

The tarp that the Historical Society placed over the home 20 years ago explains why the home is in such fantastic condition, especially the interior. Nice video!

I'm not sure why KZbin recommended this video to me, but I'm glad I clicked. I just love seeing old houses. It's heartbreaking to see such a beautiful historic structure decomposing like that. I hope you can save her.

I'm surprised no organization stepped-up when the article was published 20+ years ago :-( the grants are available according to the state.

Nice to see Bob again. The house was amazing. Hope someone sees this who wants to restore it. Love the way the staircase wraps around the fireplace. U know the house is old when there is a door at the beginning of the stairs. Guess that used to be a thing.

[@RusticVentures]

Thank you! I've been following another creator who visits old restored houses and there was house he visited where the stairs went behind the fireplace just like this one.

I’ve seen abandoned houses in much better shape that weren’t saved. Such a shame. I hope it gets saved But it is in rough shape

Thank you, Robin! :-)

Very cool. 👍 I had visions of D.D. dropping through the ceiling in front of you. I was scared that upstairs floor was going to give way. Thankful you all were careful. Thanks for Sharing and protecting its location. Keep on adventuring 👍🙂🙏

[@RusticVentures]

Thank you very much! That floor was so sketchy I was walking around the outside of it. Adventure on! :-)

[@thewanderingwoodsman7227]

I would live there.

It's right up your alley! By the river, too!
