How about the name Journeying John? You always so us such interesting and beautiful places. Thank you so much. I hope you had a Happy Holidays.

[@tmpatklk]

That's a great recommendation for John.

[@cynthiahansen9902]

I always enjoy the interaction between you and John. Thanks for another great video Cliff.

[@tmpatklk]

Nicely done, Cliff and John. We visited the canal park a few years ago and saw the tunnel from one side. The other side looks nice. We'll check it out when the virus is over. Light's Foot as well as the Memorial Park and Moravian Cemetery were interesting spots too. I appreciated the mention of the 93rd PA Infantry's camp in 1861. Thanks for sharing this and all of the interesting videos.

[@abbysapples1225]

I've been a resident of Lebanon county my entire life. I was born in 79. It blows me away that you learn new things all the time I didn't know nothing about that cemetery behind home Depot or what used to be hills department store. I know some old cemeteries around the area that probably were more like family plots in the middle of fields and stuff but this one I have to check out thanks for making the video.

[@Dog.soldier1950]

Blessed be the memory of my good fried from Lebanon, Jim Hasson

[@TheCynthiaRice]

I used to work at Cleaver Brooks in Lebanon. CB owned the old round house where they repaired trains....

[@evvanasdalan339]

Hebron....with a short "e" and emphasis on first syllable. So much history! Loved it.

[@robertvirtue8070]

In Great Britain you can travel all over by the canals. In Scotland check out the Falkirk Wheel , giant wheel used to raise and lower canal boats to height of around 100 feet. You can also travel all over Europe by Boat using the canals

[@dcasper8514]

As heard here before, cool..

[@cynthiaarnold5807]

Hey you were near where we live in north Lebanon. I take my dog to the Union Canal to walk. Every now and then he jumps in the water and I yell at him get out that water it is filthy. He needed a bath when we went home. Glad to see you do historic things in my hometown. Thanks John and Cliff. You can hear the train whistle out where we live. If you dont hear it you wonder whats going on. It lulls you to sleep in the summertime if you open your windows. I grew up in the northeast part of the city. We had a great time as kids. We had northeast park, the washy playground, and Henry Houck playground to go to. Lots of things to do. We spent most of our summer at northeast swim club. Now that is gone to. There is no other place id rather live. Except for Lewes De. Thats retirement time.

[@samanthab1923]

Lots of history in Lewes too. Love ❤️ the ferry.

[@cynthiaarnold5807]

@@samanthab1923 I know we went there camping at Cape Henlopen state park since I can remember. My heart belongs there. So many good memories. My hubby loves the place to. I'd love to retire there.

[@samanthab1923]

Cynthia Arnold Isn't it good when you find a place like that? You're very lucky 🍀

[@suzanjournagan1112]

Lights Fort is an awesome structure! I think it spelled ok.🤗🦆🐿🙂

[@brendakrieger7000]

Thank you for sharing.I'd love to sit on the bench by the canal. I've been passed the Monument Park several times too

[@lindamccaughey6669]

That was just great thanks. Some beautiful stonework there. Those trains 🚂 were a great background sound. Loved the canal. Thank you so much for taking me along. Please stay safe and take care

[@TheGroover72]

There is a fort right up the street from me (built in the 1770s) that has been an apartment for decades. This video makes me think of Lebanon bologna.

[@howardhake367]

I grew up in Lebanon. Great work here. The last time I was at the tunnel, it was a mess. It’s really nice now. Thanks

[@glennjudd2467]

Lots of history ! Very interesting cemetery ! Have a great week , CLIFF

[@LoudMusaka]

I live in Lebanon Pennsylvania I’ve lived there my whole life and I still do I love it and I’ll never leave

[@imahick5723]

so interesting, thanks for posting. I am sharing with nephews who LOVE to hike!

[@samanthab1923]

So cool 😎 never saw a canal with a tunnel. Years ago we went on the Mule Barge rides in New Hope on the Delaware canal. Unfortunately because of the 3 back to back floods in 2004-06. Walls caved in etc. Trying to bring it back. I think you can still ride one up in Easton on the Lehigh canal.

[@jamesabbott9301]

Hugh Moore canal park

[@samanthab1923]

James Abbott Yes! That's the one. Hope they're still running come Spring 🌷

[@Carolbearce]

I have never seen a tombstone in the US with a birth date in the 1600’s. Wow! Thank you for showing us this.

[@mugdiller2124]

Remember watching a UHF TV station out of Lebanon in the 60's that we picked up in Elizabethtown. - think it was channel 15. Watched a kid's show with 'Uncle Bob".

[@bobs1728]

Born and raised in Lebanon. Dad worked at Bethlehem Steel. Moved away in '67. Don't recall if I was ever out at the Union Canal. Nice video.

[@judyyorty1507]

Awesome video. Grew up in Lebanon. Thanks , job well done......

[@SueGirling68]

Hi Cliff & John, Cliff it would be really awesome if you could maybe do a video when they have those Civil War re-enactments, I'm sure a lot of viewers would love that, simply because you have filmed a lot of places connected with the civil war. Imagine how much history that log cabin has seen through the years, and how many people that have come and gone, it's in really good shape too considering it's great age which shows it's being lovingly maintained. Thank you for sharing, I hope you have a fantastic new year, much love. xx 🙏💖🥂🤘

[@rickjudgejr1435]

I have been in the park and metal detected in there. I climbed over the fence

[@jeannineroche5669]

Loved this video can't wait to see more, thank you!

[@jasonwallace6543]

Hi John my name is Jason Gathern Wallace I live in Brunswick City Glynn County Georgia. I'm surrounded by history. I work for a lady who is one of the daughter of the revolution. I love going to Fort King George and Fort Frederica National Monument state park. I also love old graveyard. Some in this County is mostly the 1800s. Love you videos..

[@samanthab1923]

I watch a KZbin channel Sidestep Adventures in GA. Cannot believe all the abandoned cemeteries he comes across.

[@jasonwallace6543]

I came across some out in the swamp lands of South Georgia. Ive been growing up in foster homes from 1987 so all we do is go hunting and fishing anywhere

[@elmermason9685]

I was born and raised in West Lebanon Township and still live there so I want to thank you for the tour and the history of Lebanon. The Union Canal is my old stomping ground. Did lots of fishing, ice skating, and just a great place to be growing up. Thanks again for the video.

[@lonestar1775]

Great video. I'll be exploring these places come spring. I live in the city.

[@CentralPaRailfan]

Nice building at 20:00 in. It reminds me of the Frankenberger Tavern in Mechanicsburg.

[@danimarie9421]

We just moved down this way from northern pa so this was so cool to watch and I think it gives me a fun list of places to check out over the summer!

[@imahick5723]

so interesting, thanks, Cliff

[@dwightminnich2722]

Another great exploration. I do like when John joins you, the both of you work together really well. You share a lot of information. Thanks Clif.

[@martyjones9374]

Always love hanging out with you & Jon! Definitely see alot of amazing places & learn alot of history. You definitely caught the train whistles this trip. Thank you guys so much. It was fun & really enjoyed it!!🥰😘

[@justwondering5540]

Just was out last week to the V.A Nice town

[@ruthgoebel723]

Great video! Didn't know the cemetery was back there.

[@kevinshanesy6023]

Usually on the muzzle will be engraved the year that cannon barrel was made, along what size projectile ot shot and where it was manufactured. Sometimes this info will be on the trunion pins or the breech. Replicas do not have these marks so it helps in telling the difference. By the way...throw some train footage in when you can...😁 Keep up the great work!!!

[@brianferris1233]

🌲🌲🦅🌲thank you for sharing your videos with everyone🌲🌲🦌🌲

[@deebeaver5431]

Your very close to Harper's Tavern, where they marched during the Civil war. Old Jonestown RD. There is very old log home's in Jonestown.

[@wooderdsaunders6801]

Lights fort on wikpedia say there used to be 2 tunnels during French and Indian war. Union canal cut one off as nd the other end under courthouse.. a school basement still h as s part of these tunnel system.

[@MrDrissel56]

Thanks for sharing

[@czechmate55]

So glad I found you! You introduced me to new places to hike and explore yay!! Have you been to the area we call The dragon spine? Part of the Mason Dixon Trail on Long Level road south of Wrightsville. It's quite the challenge LOL!

[@thewanderingwoodsman7227]

Not yet..

[@jeffreyroman9732]

Cliff and John work good together. You ask questions of each other that I would ask. I like it.

[@kateclark7250]

Love the historical info! Thanks for the tour.

[@nanparker8373]

At least the cannon and cannon balls are at two different locations, lol!

[@dawndietz4654]

I loved seeing the Union Canal remnants. Canals fascinate me. I love watching the English canal vlogs. It is a shame we destroyed our American canals... Also great tour of Lebanon, so much history to see. I could spend a week just going to all the sights. The Moravian cemetery is amazing. Living in Arkansas we don’t get birth and death dates that old!

[@marquitabeckley6027]

You guys passed my house lol

[@keithreh9338]

thanks for your of Lebanon; gonna hit the Tunnel Hill in the spring; been to the Monument Park once...definitely needs a cleanup; log home similar to one in Annville on main drag; the fort is interesting...would be nice to see it isolated in an actual park style setting & restored to near original condition; really old cemetery was cool...didn't know it was there

[@saucerfulofsecrets8689]

Lebanon born and raised here.

[@dcasper8514]

Canals were our means of transporting goods before the advent of the railroad.

[@markoliver9108]

My 3x great grandfather worked the canal

[@lucabrasi8115]

Hello from the Ozarks. You all have a lot of history. Here in the Ozarks we only go back so far. After that Indian history. Yet your dialect ain't to far from ours...crazy.

[@johnkleinfelter8346]

Very cool to see local history. Drove on some of those streets earlier today. I had no idea the cemetery was by Home Depot. I have family ties to this area going back to the revolutionary era or earlier on both sides of my family. A few months ago my grandmother showed me and my brother a box of old documents including deeds, letters of indenture, and an 1822 Lebanon militia roster, all dating to the early 1800s. Apparently they where found in the old Avon general store that my great grandfather ran for years and were very nearly thrown in the fire (thankfully they didn’t).

[@danmathers141]

Nice road at 4:50.

[@mom2djm]

I just came across this channel.. so interesting! Thank you for sharing all of the information on your travels. Sidenote: I may be moving to the Lebanon area next year and I too, have fibro. Is John single? Lol

[@rocknrollrod5]

I painted the flag poll in Monument park. They would grease the poll with Vaseline to keep from climbing it.

[@liaxavios9476]

I prefer Genuine John. Thanks Cliff for all you do.

[@willmears1111]

Look in the windows and around the back of the log home. Don't just leave.

[@ruthgoebel723]

It may be posted.

[@1meandeeresbaby]

Hi Juggling John.

[@walterlangston4253]

martin zeo from the UK dose a lot of cool video you would like the anderton boat lift video

[@DDExplores]

Cool canal tunnels !. Do you know how deep the water is ?

[@thewanderingwoodsman7227]

couldn't really see, the water wasn't that clear.

[@delawarebeachboy]

have you done a video on Manheim, PA?

[@thewanderingwoodsman7227]

nope

[@markoliver9108]

Wish I could find more information on the Mastersonville area. Apparently my house had an "indian" door on it, to protect against raiding indians??

[@delawarebeachboy]

@@markoliver9108 I lived at the corner of mastersonville rd and shumaker rd in the 70's

[@danmathers141]

At 19:18, are those military housing units or were they at one time. They look kind of baraksy.

[@mandas6451]

Dan Mathers what’s a barasky ?

[@samanthab1923]

Manda S Barracks like
