Instagram - AdamTheWooATW I always enjoy doing these type of videos . Hope you like it

[@Presalagor]

A bunch of priceless gems in this video, nicely filmed!

[@KLEARSKITHEKREEPER]

Really enjoyed this one

[@ddjj68]

This is why I watch.

[@melanieiwasko6010]

Love this!!!♥️♥️♥️

[@truracer20]

I love these types of videos. Exploration, historical sites, roadside oddities and attractions, museums, abandoned places, filming locations, cemeteries, the roads less traveled, etc. I deeply appreciate what you do Adam, thank you.

[@arlenelovelace18]

I love these small old town history videos!

[@maureen14]

My old stomping grounds 25 years ago! Did you know that The Rolling Stones rehearsed in West Brookfield at Longview Farm studios? That place has got a great history to it as well. Glad you had good weather for your tour today of Central Massachusetts! ⛪

[@MeetMeOutside]

It was in North Brookfield

[@eptxprotector]

Historical restoration is a worthy cause to support. Hopefully this video spurs donations to help restore the North Brookfield Town House.

[@megomatt7770]

I live in Brookfield, MA, and the well where Joshua Spooner was dumped after he was killed still exists. It was in front of his house. The house is gone but the well is still there. The door knocker from the front door of the house is in the Brookfield town hall. Bathesheba Spooner was hung for the conspiracy/murder of her husband along with the British soldiers. The case is historic/controversial because she was pregnant at the time she was hung. Joshua was buried in the Brookfield cemetery where his tombstone still stands. Feel free to reach out I you want me to direct you to any of those places.

[@tracydasilva3396]

Good morning Adam. Massachusetts is full of American history. As a kid my parents took us all over Mass exploring anything historical. I carried on that tradition with my kids.

[@arizonaalchemy7572]

Ah LOVE IT !! That TOWN HALL was Amazing to see and so was the DRIVE-IN THEATRE. I lived in Rhode Island for 13 years. New England was FUN to Explore, also a Great Place for Ghost Hunting ! The Architecture, also Amazing ! Enjoyed this one, Adam ! Thank you ! 🙂

[@EsmeGrubb]

A State House is where state legislators hold their meetings. So a Town House is where a town's legislature holds its meetings. That's why there was a room with a stage upstairs. If you went upstairs in the State House in Boston, you would have seen a similar room there, only its much nicer because it's been maintained as part of the museum. I hope they raise the money to restore the Brookfield museum! What a wonderful place to treasure.

[@roxxma]

Many town halls in New England have auditoriums in them because the primary form of local government is town meeting, where the voters in a town assemble several times per year to vote on a town's affairs (IE make bylaws, approve or reject bonds, rezone land use, approve the municipal budget, etc). New England towns also have a plural executive in their boards of selectmen, aka select boards, which handle the day-to-day management of a town's affairs.

[@markattardo]

Thoroughly enjoyed your return trip!! Thanks for coming back to New England.

[@aidancavanaugh3849]

Hello Adam, I’ve been watching the channel for a number of years and just saw this video recently, it’s crazy to see you visit my hometown! I remember about a decade or so ago that the town hall was full of damage and couldn’t even be entered. So it’s cool to see that open again. Brookfield orchards is a town institution as well. Hopefully you enjoyed your visit to the town!

[@candarianpumpkin]

The Town House has a lot of fascinating nooks and crannies. Such a clever idea to bind the folding chairs together. So much faster to set up the room.

[@iggy3052]

Adam, thanks for coming up to my neck of the woods. Love your videos.

[@MyBackyardScience]

Massachusetts has so much history! We are really enjoying your adventures in the area! 🙂

[@davidb5889]

The Leicester Drive-In closed only a few years ago. Thanks for the tour!

[@michellehagman4183]

Adam, That was so cool...I lived a few towns away Warren, Ma . Still have friends in North Brookfield and use to go to that drive in . Thanks for the memories!

[@GoADHDGo]

I just realized that these videos are cleverly disguised town history lessons! How DARE Adam trick me into getting more educated! THE NERVE! Hi.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Ha !

[@rhondaz356]

I love these "field trips", Adam. Thanks for letting us tag along. 🤠👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Mszahnclass95]

Thank you Adam for taking all of us along with you on this cool adventure .

[@junebug58]

Spent MANY weekends hanging out watching Drive-In movies when I was a kid, my friend's Dad ran the Concession stand at a Drive-In back home in New Jersey😎Wouldn't trade those memories for anything!

[@johndreker1613]

I have a funny story somewhat similar to that man's uncle Harry story. My uncle Harry came to stay at my house one time for about three months. He stayed into the room next to mine. One day he asked my mom to talk to me about watching TV during the early hours of the morning because he could hear it all night. I never watched TV during the early morning, so we just figured it was a hippie flashback. Anyway, about a week later he tells my mom again and so then I went in his room to see maybe it was coming from outside. I listen and finally figure out that the entire time he's been there, the little clock radio on the side of his bed had been on at the lowest volume, which he was only hearing at night when it was dead silent. So when you mentioned uncle Harry and a radio playing, I laughed and had to send my mom the clip.

[@keepitrealoriginal]

I am always so fascinated with old architecture. Thanks

[@KLEARSKITHEKREEPER]

Love historical museums such interesting stories and items from the past.

[@patr0422]

Love the guy giving the tour of the museum! Great sense of humor 😊

[@kimberlylyerly2207]

Wowza Adam! 😮 That old building was amazing. 👏 Thank you for taking us along.

[@stephaniekaferlein8532]

Grew up in Sturbridge and moved away about 3 years ago. Love seeing the familiar places!

[@jakeman50]

Thanks Adam, lived in near by town Brookfield for 30 years before moving to Poinciana near Celebration! . Brookfield was the home of Else the cow and Connie Mack the hall of fame baseball player, so much history in every little town

[@stewburner63]

Love this .. small town history museums are really fascinating.. cheers Adam

[@AbandonedExplorationUrbex1979]

This was interesting. I love seeing old buildings.

[@Joyce-wi6vd]

Your "road trip" videos from here and there are fascinating! Thanks from Wisconsin.

[@BrandonOutside]

Woah, North Brookfield! Not a name you hear every day. In the late 2000’s I interned at an awesome recording studio near there called Longview Farm Studios. I’m not sure if they’re still open, but it was a really cool place. It was built in the 70s for The Rolling Stones to rehearse their European tour. The main studio was in the top floor of a barn, but the ground floor was still an operational horse barn. There was an attached apartment where the artists would stay, and the main house (where the owners lived) had a smaller studio as well. It was a really cool place, and great people who owned and ran it!

[@angelinainhollywoodland9023]

This is unkown territory. I think this has the makings of a really good movie (film). You should write a script and send it to Wm. Morris in Beverly Hills, CA. No joke, man, this is yours to tell and I hope you do it!

[@MeetMeOutside]

Right on ! I lived in the nearby town called New Braintree, a really small farm town. All we had was a grade school so we needed to go to junior high, and high school in North Brookfield. I remember in the mid seventies when the stones were at that studio ! Longview.For us at the time it was the coolest thing ever knowing The Rolling Stones we’re in town ! Cheers

[@catholicfaithofmine2664]

Yes my neighbors father had Tix to the Rolling Stones surprise concert in Worcester Mass. His son and I begged for the Tix to go but we ended up with free Tix to Beach Boys instead.

[@BrandonOutside]

@@catholicfaithofmine2664 That’s awesome! Both of those must have been amazing concerts!

[@chuckfreedman8745]

Just a few towns north of Brookfield in Hubbardston, MA is a large collection of screen used props and vehicles from Back to the Future. Maybe for your next visit! Thanks again for the great tour and episodes here in Massachusetts.

[@donnytucker]

That building tour was great. That main staircase was beautiful.

[@matthewfarmer2520]

Good morning Adam 🌞 the towne looks spooky with grave stones and the museum are nice. Thanks for sharing this. Stay safe 😎

[@smilingpolitely4100]

Good morning

[@altieri555]

That building was awesome,sure hope they can restore it!

[@thedomesticmonk772]

That was a great town to grow up in on the 70’s. I have memories of everything in the video including the drive-in where we’d pile into cars and watch movies.

[@lolomcyoyo]

Nice to see you splorin’ Massachusetts. Wee love Adam and the Woo Sox!!😉

[@jeffhaddox2239]

Very cool!

[@reverendandy3279]

What a beautiful and interesting small town. Never heard of Brookfield before today, but seems like a great place for American history buffs to visit.

[@kgoger]

Adam seems to have friends in every place he goes

[@goldentiki3310]

Haa.. I know right! 😄👍🏻

[@rhondaz356]

EXACTLY...🤠🤗

[@Waspwoman1]

Hard to be anything but friendly..hes pretty easy to like!❤

[@carlavision6143]

Adam, really am enjoying your travels and your awesome videos! That's really interesting and the bell was really cool. Continuing catching up on your awesome vlogs.

[@drshepherd1969]

I loved going to a drive in. They are very few left. In fact the only one I know that's left is one in Ruskin (FL), not far from where you live at Adam. Enjoyed your adventurous vlog!

[@stellastarfield]

Thank you for sharing. 😊👍🏼

[@richstarboard3195]

I like these exploring videos and you are good at making them.

[@larryadams9935]

Great video, Adam. For sure a good and refreshing break from all things "Disney".

[@DailyLifeInTheSmokies]

Love your videos brother. Hope to see you at the chili cook off in Gatlinburg this Thursday again

[@sprsprtrudy]

As a local to this area it was neat to see your interests in our old town history.. you missed a few creepy and historic gems however... Be happy to show you sometime! Keep on adventuring!

[@bryanlaflash750]

Grew up in Leicester and used to go to those drive ins all the time as a kid. Crazy to see Adam there. Appreciate the videos!

[@johnwestover7954]

I live in Plymouth Connecticut area and you’re only one state over lol I wish I had time to meet you. Your Vlogs are amazing. You show us things I either didn’t know I was missing or things I would never have thought of. I would enjoy but I do take care of yourself and be safe.

[@angelinainhollywoodland9023]

I liked the whole thing, but I think the two most memorable parts were 1) the story about poor Uncle Henry and 2) that amazing SPRITE CAN! I have never seen anything of the like before! Good one Adam!

[@reggiepalmer6157]

Super fascinating❤ I love these kinds of videos Adam makes.❤

[@recallbob]

I just love you show

[@chadoutler3499]

Grat job on your videos. Love to see more videos with your friends together. Like Tim trackers and Justin scar and jacob the cabbages and the world of Mika. Kept up the great work❤

[@NextStopConsciousness]

Jacob the cabbage eater 😂

[@timothywalker4563]

Adam hope you make it back to the main road before night fall. You had quite the day😊

[@keithmabe6015]

Thank you Adam...

[@rebel6756]

Enjoying this road trip, Adam😊 thank you.

[@troublewithtriton8529]

If you get the chance I highly recommend Sandwich, Cape Cod, another very quaint historical town

[@jcrotchfeltjr]

Such a good video. What history inside this building. Haunted? I bet it is. So cool that this gentleman spent so much time with you. I love this stuff.

[@andystreet1479]

awesome history surely that Town hall needs saving

[@jimmiek55]

The metal sheet that looked like sunglasses was a panel that was placed at the bottom of a safety screen in a police vehicle.

[@markteicher5785]

I love seeing you explore old buildings

[@OldLugnutz]

Ah, my town! If i'd know you were there I would have treated you to lunch at Jims Pizza or over at Stacey's Pizza Palace. Brookfield Orchards is a hoot for nostalgia....actually, the history of the town is a hoot for small town Americana history...The two houses that look abandoned are in the "Slab City" section of the town and into part of neighboring Brookfield. That area is on the original "Old Post Road" of the Commonwealth, and has remnants of the original North Brookfield town settlement in the mid-late 1600's on the North Brookfield end of the road. Spooner's Well is towards the Town of Brookfield side.. Most of that Slab City area is now part of Audubon Nature Preservation lands. The big Dairy farm on Slab City Road is where "Elsie, the Borden Cow," was from.

[@The_Alexandra_B]

Hope you’re enjoying this gorgeous New England fall weather! Lots of rain this season unfortunately.

[@brandonwendt1312]

That Townhall is amazing. There’s so much that could be done with it, especially that ballroom on the upper floor. They could easily rent that out for weddings different events I really hope that they are able to renovate the building because there’s so much that they could do with it. The staircase was so beautiful.

[@davie941]

hi again Adam , another very interesting Vlog , i like watching these types of videos lol, loved the bell, so cool , really well done and thank you Adam 😊

[@SchemingSkelly]

I really missed this type of content. I was born in Plymouth Mass, so this is even better!

[@2dollarbill650]

I have a feeling that your in my neck of the woods today. But we'll have to wait and see tomorrow

[@caroljames6371]

I love that you're visiting my state!

[@courtneyedwards9124]

Is it just me or does his camera microphone have a click you can hear when there isn't much ambient noise. I noticed right after he got his newest camera. Holy crap google and read about Bathsheba Spooner. Crazy story. She was thr first woman in American history to be executed following the signing of the Declaration of Independence for murdering her husband. Thanks Adam for making me google stuff I had no idea existed! Love this channel.

[@anncruise7851]

I love the history of old towns thanks

[@0toeknee0]

man! I'm loving you being in my neck of the woods. You should try to visit Edaville Railroad park. You'd probably enjoy it! It's not huge but a cute little park for kids. parts are well done.

[@johnrambo7630]

The building was cool enough, but then followed by an abandoned drive in? Unbelievablly cool. Love seeing the drive in and wondering how things deteriorated since the last visitors drove away

[@jraoul711]

Cool old town Hall. I have lived in MA. all my life and never heard of Leicester.

[@javadude666]

I used to live in Worcester County, Massachusetts, United in a town called ashburnham from 1985-1989 thx for going there brings back some good memories, that orchard went to on a field trip back in the day there cider is strong.😊😢❤

[@user-ez4el4ux6i]

At 25:29 when he is looking at the police door...there a noise like a person making a cop car siren sound..."woo-oo woo-oo". Please tell me someone else hears it. I listened twice & heard it both times.

[@TheFeelButton]

Taking the stage! Cheers Adam!!

[@mike856ms]

I would love for some of these drivings to come back. I think that they would be a great return to yesteryear of just having fun with your friends or your girlfriend or boyfriend or wife or husband and just sit back relax getting concessions and enjoying the night

[@KMK99]

Good morning Adam. If you are looking for a place to go. Hudson NH, Benson Park former home of Benson Wild Animal Farm.Some of the cages are still standing. Then, Cahill Super Subs is very close also.

[@kustomcoachworks7183]

Love seeing all the videos of New England. Have been watching your content for years. If you find yourself in Athol Ma I would love to show you around my Old school Hot Rod shop.

[@Crossfirepyro2]

Awesome Adam just love old town history

[@DemonAngelTag]

Awesome video! I really liked it.

[@EminenceFrontX5]

Awesome episode, awesome.

[@jennifermorrow2872]

I used to live there in North Brookfield back in the early 2000.

[@catholicfaithofmine2664]

My old stomping grounds. Brookfield Apple Orchard is a place I have been to since childhood.

[@user-cd7ht4tm5r]

.."NAILED IT!"🎉

[@djsreviewzinunder2331]

I’m sure most of that area is haunted but the history is so cool! LOL @ Mother’s Uncle Harry 🤣

[@melode1001]

I am from that area. My brother lives around the corner from main street, love the Orchards

[@MeetMeOutside]

I grew up in New Braintree, next town over, great seeing local content !

[@Ilovewildlifeandstuff.]

awesome video !

[@rogue1290]

I know I’m getting old when I see a building like that and can appreciate the history. But I also see lots of lead paint and asbestos tiles.

[@UnkleHeavy]

First thing I thought of when you walked into the Drive-In was the scene from The Outsiders. I just love older places like that, lots of fun to explore!

[@pauldavis8418]

Great video! Thanks!
