Killbuck Holmes County Ohio Museum Small Town USA

[@oliviamirich2984]

I spy my Grandpa's Letterman Sweater at 11:37! He used to run a barber shop in downtown Killbuck. He passed away in August of 2019 at 88; so glad to see it displayed.

Small towns, like small business, are the backbone of our country. Keep on bringing us to them.👍

[@kennyeyster5496]

It's our little slice of heaven I love living out here, also the rubber factory is still in operation

[@talldude5841]

Great video Russ. I live about a half hour north of Millersburg, and ride my bike from Fredricksburg, to Holmesville, Millersburg and then Killbuck. Its the only bike trail in Ohio that the Amish can ride with their horse and buggies on. Its about at 36 mile round trip and well worth it. Been in that theater and that too is a gem.

[@LuckyDawgProductionsModerator]

We are originally from Wooster, now retired near Daytona Beach. Used to hang out visiting friends in Killbuck, and went to the movies at the old Duncan Theater. Been to all these small towns that Russ has shown on his videos. Great seeing Killbuck, Millersburg, Sugarcreek, Winesburg, Berlin, Walnut Creek, Bunker Hill, and Trail. I remember going to see the Cuckoo Clock when it was at Alpine Alpa. All great videos.

I'm from Perry co. ,my wife and I go biking on the rail trails, they are the best and beautiful scenery in Ohio I think, anyone watching if you get a chance to get on them you won't be sorry . Our grand kids love it too.Happy trails mr. RVer thanks

[@jimh.8138]

Enjoy your visit with your old friend.

I am originally from Wooster (north of Millersburg on Route 83) and now retired living near Daytona Beach, Florida. Used to hang out in Killbuck with friends and went to the movies at the old Duncan Theater. Last time we stopped there was about 5 years ago. Thanks for showing the town. Great video.

At the end it showed Larry's house, a good guy and a good gospel singer.

[@stephenbrown3763]

Hey Russ! "SMALL " Towns "BIG HEARTS "!!! Be Safe!!!

[@tedw9390]

Hey Russ, the stone wheels in the museum were mill stones that ground corn into corn mill and wheat into flour. Cool history.

[@susanstrickland6774]

Enjoyed! Scenic route in, and precious Main St USA town. Nice hometown museum. Very interesting. Ty. 😊👍

Cool. I'll have to check out the museum, thanks. 😊

[@edin3909]

Nice small town and nice museum sir.njoy the trip and visit your friends and have fun sir❤❤❤👍👍👍

[@BlazingLaser]

What a cute small town! I love small town museums. There are good ones in lots of small towns where you wouldn't expect them. The docents, and even the people in the gift shop tend to be volunteers who love the place and will tell you all about it. I also stop at small-town libraries when I'm on the road, to use their WiFI, and they're also very interesting.

[@bosse641]

What a lovely little town. Quiet place I'm sure. Would love to live there.

[@Go4Corvette]

Beautiful homes clean streets what more could you ask for. Take care, Russ

[@onrycodger]

It's a beautiful small town for sure. But kinda sad that there was virtually no traffic or people on the sidewalks shopping at any of the stores. The drone footage is great! 😊👍👍

[@edmondlanceeastridge6039]

Great video Russ only the Best from RVTV grandkids says hello and RV there yet travel well sir and be safe lance and family

[@taco472]

Hey Russ, I believe those large “wheels” were actually’Mill Stones’ from a Gristmill where farmers would bring their corn and grain to ground. There’s a restored one not far from me here in western Washington, it’s powered by a water wheel in a creek. Gotta love small towns USA. 👍

[@talldude5841]

Your right. Used to be a few Gristmills along the Killbuck river. The roads and bike paths are non passable after heavy rains.

[@RichardFelstead1949]

Very scenic Russ.

[@davidprosser7278]

Looks great.

[@gregsvlogshow]

Beautiful country drive! Reminds me of northern California in a lot of ways.

[@juliebradford2999]

I'm really enjoying your trips! Beautiful landscape. Keep Safe and see you on the road..

[@danieldolle7008]

I love small towns everyone knows everone wlse and watching house

[@scottlin7876]

It does flood quite a bit in that area of 62. It's swampy on the North side of that road. I remember that old theatre. They had a midnight showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. I was the only person in there. It was shut down for some time after but my cousin and my brothers went there after they reopened it. My cousin swears he felt a rat run across his foot. So we then started calling it the rat palace.

[@robertjean659]

I would have to get in that old hardware store! Great drive, Russ

[@debbiejohnson5550]

Sounds like my kind of town. Except for the flooding.

[@realghostboii]

Lived there till I was 10 years old, I remember going to the IGA as well as going to see movies with my grandparents at the small theatre there.

[@dan43072]

Great Job on KZbin My wife and I enjoy the videos. We go to the Amish country a lot . We live in Newark Ohio. Thank you for your travels.

Hi Russ ! Great Video !! Loving the Ride along ! Hope your visit with your friend was fantastic ! Stay Happy and well...

Another interesting small town, thanks for the tour Russ, travel safe

[@CaliforniaFly]

Russ, head down to central Kentucky sometime and visit Mammoth Caves. The Red River Gorge is a nice drive also. Great video!

[@steveashworth6707]

I lived just south of Killbuck!, it has one of the largest freshwater preserves in the US!. Its a neat little town!.

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

🙋‍♀️ Hello Russ! What a clean little rural town. Yards were manicured. I liked the museum. It gives you an idea of what the area was like. Loved the square banjo. Great drone footage! I think you were distracted toward the end when you said definitely get some pizza tonight & checkout the museum? hehe You tickle me. Have a safe & Happy Fourth of July Russ. Be careful.

[@punkotter1867]

A town I could live in, love it. The square guitar is called a cigar box all though they come made using just about anything . You can buy one made out of a shovel .check out video's on youtube " puckets cigar box guitars "they sound awesome .

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

Cool. I didn't know that.

Can’t wait to check this place out!

[@scottlehman2144]

Hope you went to Lehman Hardware in Kidron.

[@LuckyDawgProductionsModerator]

Hi Scott. I'm originally from Wooster, now retired near Daytona Beach. We always enjoyed going to Lehman Hardware. Remember when it was the old store and not very big. When my cousins visited from Australia we took them to visit Lehman's and to see the Kidron Auction and all the Amish buggies. They were in awe. Haha. Great memories.

[@scottlehman2144]

@@LuckyDawgProductionsModerator My dad's cousin started the hardware years back. It was something to see when it was small. The corporation that owns Hartville hardware and kitchen just purchased Lehman's. They are going to leave it as Lehman's for now.

[@gpants3633]

Your camera is pretty darn good - indoor and outdoor.

[@michaela.chmieloski3196]

4:36 The building on the left has an unusual wall angle/configuration that, to me, screams one-time service by a railroad right-of-way. That museum was really neat, Russ, especially the dinosaur bones. Imagine tooling down Main Street and having a T-Rex run in front of your vehicle. I'd get the h-e-double-toothpick out of there as fast as possible! Glad you decided to visit your friend otherwise we all would have missed this. Enjoy. Edit: Just looked at Google Earth. The building to the right at 4:36 apparently is the old railroad depot. Should have known.

[@Lilybets]

The big building at 4:36, used to Rice Chadwick Rubber Company. I remember when the trains used to run. There was a track right next to the building. I lived just down the street from there. My parents both worked there, so did I. Most of us from Killbuck worked there at one point in our lives.

[@michaela.chmieloski3196]

@@Lilybets Thanks for the information, Betsy, it is much appreciated. I love local history no matter where the "local" is located, and it's always appreciated when someone with firsthand knowledge can "fill in the blanks". When looking on Google Earth the size of the rubber company's building screamed "town's lifeblood" to this old chaser of ghost railroads. Many times a town such as yours had that one major industry that enabled everyone living there to make a living--either directly or indirectly. Thanks again for the info. Be well.

[@Lilybets]

Yes, the old depot was across the road from Rice Chadwick. It was pretty run down when I lived there but they've fixed it up now. The train tracks split there. One on each side of main Street. One ran along railroad street, hence the name and the other crossed the creek and ran out across the bottom. Interesting fact, a president, I wanna say Teddy Roosevelt but I can't be certain, it was before my time, stopped on the train in Killbuck. Right by the church just up the hill from Main Street. When I was just a kid, the trains didn't run often but when they did they went very slow through town. We played on the tracks. Sometimes, they were under water. Killbuck is very low and is surrounded by swamps and the creek.

[@michaela.chmieloski3196]

@@Lilybets That's interesting about the tracks splitting as they ran through town. I looked at a USGS map from 1915 and there was no indication that such occurred. Need to look at a map of more recent vintage (1940s-1960s). Will look into a POTUS coming to Killbuck on the internet when I get a chance. Sounds like the line was run down (deferred maintenance) when you were a kid, hence the slow speed of trains when passing through.

[@allencrider]

Those old square guitars were a thing. They called them a cigar box guitar. There's lessons on how to make your own on youtube and otherwise.

[@karenmartin9743]

Eventually those trails will meet up with the Knox County trails.

You’re really beating up on that hardware store, heh heh.

[@LaCatLady]

Is this state still on lockdown? Doesn’t seem to be a lot of activity, does it?

[@NoName-zq6ic]

The counties in many states look like this once outside of the larger cities. Just different terrain. Sadly, many of the small business's in these smaller towns were forced to close down and many won't attempt to re-open.

[@LaCatLady]

@@NoName-zq6ic That’s so sad.
