Awesome Museum Cliff! Great Video !!!

[@Yawnzee_]

I moved out to the Pittsburgh area from San Diego California a few years ago and your channel has been super helpful in showing me the area. I love history and to be living in an area where the French and Indian wars happened is pretty cool. I visited Fort Duquesne yesterday and it was amazing I could feel the history. Keep up the amazing work cliff thanks so much for showing me a side of Pennsylvania I never knew about.

Excellent video, Cliff. I grew up in Bedford co. But have never been in the museum. I will take time to visit.

[@brookeshaffer4377]

Love your hx lessons.Thanks Cliff🌟

[@ssn9182]

Wow, my people are from this area and I know these roads and towns and never knew about this fort Loudoun exhibit and the other forts and museums. Now I have more added to my visit list.

[@jodime7357]

Fascinating! Time for a trip to Fort Bedford Museum.

[@susankerr9521]

I miss that part of the state. I used to get down that way about once a month. It's beautiful three seasons of the year, but winter can be a bear if you're driving.

[@enrico7342]

That was excellent!!!

[@mountainsintomemories]

This was definitely interesting for me to watch. I’ve recently visited some Forbes Road sites and have become interested in learning more about the campaign. Thanks for sharing.

[@nobillclinton]

Godspeed Woodsman.

[@hogkillerjp]

great video, probably lots of undiscovered stuff still out there, thanks for sharing..

[@plpierson]

Very interesting overview. I don't know much about the French and Indian War, so your videos are appreciated. I also love Naomi. ❤ I have a jeep named Max.

[@tyesoutherland4618]

To bad you couldn't spend another 3 hours sharing the beautiful artifacts of this museum. Was really fascinated with the ol gentleman's treasures. Great History!

[@talleman1]

I walked on a part of Forbes road that was not made into a highway. It was rutted and narrow. It was on private property.

[@lindamccaughey6669]

Gosh that was fantastic. That museum was just great. I am so enjoying this history and I am looking forward to part 2. Thanks for taking me along, please stay safe and take care

[@chrisgray8774]

Glad you took time to listen to Joe.

[@centralpametaldetectorist289]

Gotta hit Littleton,Granville and Shirley too

[@thewanderingwoodsman7227]

I've already filmed those locations.

[@markhill2279]

For history buffs interested in side attractions in the Bedford area and westward, might check out “A Guidebook to Historic Western Pennsylvania” by George Swetnam and Helene Smith.

[@AnthropoidOne]

North Carolina soldiers with Braddocks Army. That was a 300 mile slog just to arrive. Those poor slobs🤣🤣I am from NC

[@hiworldstephensonultranate290]

find ur commentary humourous like distant mts. i saw them well back really wonder wud ibe able to afford going to my Beloved but nt been Pennsylvania

[@716dudette]

Much of my family is from around that area.I would love to tag along and give more history!

[@larrysmith7155]

The Fort Bedford Museum does not stand on the site of Fort Bedford. The fort stood where the stone building was shown at the intersection of Pitt and Richard Streets BUT that building was constructed in the 1940's NOT the 1750's.

[@exs219]

Incredible well done thank you.

[@tomtransport]

That was great history Cliff, so nice of Joe to continue to share his knowledge of the area and F & I wars. Cool to learn more of Washington's adventures B 4 the Revolutionary war too. Someone or group put a lot of work into that miniature fort almost like a flyover the old fort today.

[@charlieevilpig7776]

What an amazing museum, I would have watched a 3 hour video!

[@kateclark7250]

Thank you for this fascinating journey and the stories you told us. The museum was a lucky find.

[@hiworldstephensonultranate290]

hi i remember that video love dat fort feel same I'd stay an hour!

[@sandramcglinchey7712]

You might want to look into Compass Inn! That’s a amazing house near the fort!!I saw it yeas ago!

[@joseleswopes1400]

You could tell the miniature fort took a lot of work to make 💕

[@hiworldstephensonultranate290]

WOW still love road trips

[@larrysmith7155]

John Forbes sent almost the entire period of the expedition named for him at Carlisle because he had dysentery (the flux).

[@jackcook8613]

You pasted Juniata crossing just past the bridge on the left

[@larrysmith7155]

Sorry, Fort Bedford was NEVER called 'Fort Raystown'. Henry Bouquet who led the expedition in 1758 always signed his letters as "Camp near Raystown". The name 'Raystown' referred to the trading post of John Wray. It was located about two miles east of where Fort Bedford would be constructed.

[@brianmorse167]

I am from Everett if you want to go to where juanita crossing I can get you on the property...

[@mns8732]

Local history so rich

[@larrysmith7155]

Forbes Road was 'cut' and not 'built' because they 'cut' down the trees and bushes.

[@larrysmith7155]

The museum is simply incorrect about being on the original site of the fort. AND IT WAS NEVER NAMED FORT RAYSTOWN!

[@BillsWargameWorld]

I did. Video of Joe last month in my channel. We really should meet someday.
