The Oldest Graveyard In Orlando - Sad & Bizarre Stories Of Greenwood Cemetery / Florida History

[@mr.goodfootHifiVideoEye.]

Ive spent some time in local cemeteries and i am reminded of the saying We all die twice . First when we take our last breath, Second , when our name is spoken for the last time . .

[@loravaloo55]

But the ripples from our kindness can go on forever.

[@ShelleeGraham]

WONDERFUL CONTENT here Adam. Thank you for sharing the stories behind these souls laid to rest in Greenwood Cemetery. 😇

[@Blueskys1972]

What a sad story about the grandmother and her grandson. I'm a grandmother of a grandson and I can only imagine 😢

[@janeclay9684]

I think history is so fascinating; really important to remember the folk who made positive contributions in their lives. Beautiful place to be laid to rest. Love all the bird song

[@laurazurita9117]

I just absolutely love history, and cemeteries are full of amazing history. Love the attention to details in your videos Adam.

[@brittanymyrick3321]

I love visiting cemetery during the day, looking at the different headstones. Very peaceful. 💗💕🩷♥️

[@davie941]

thank you Adam for such a nice Vlog , i love walking around cemeteries they can be very interesting 😊

[@BrancyCDA]

Oddly enough I was doing the same thing yesterday at Forest Cemetery in Coeur d'Alene, as I take a walk nearly everyday in a different place and cemeteries are so interesting and peaceful versus parks. All of the towns notable citizens are in this one, as it is the oldest and by far the most beautiful. I have no idea why I find walking through them and noting what the headstones say and thinking about what their life, was like somewhat comforting in an odd way, but I always have since I walked through a cemetery in Claremont California on the way home from school back in the day. The fact you can actually find out some history behind some of them is wonderful, as it was all just left up to my imagination as a kid!

[@danny13293]

Walking around a cemetery magically will put a lot of your concerns or doubts to rest and put everything in perspective

[@EsmeGrubb]

Just yesterday I stumbled upon videos by a man who goes around and cleans the gravestones for people he considers special. He uses the appropriate cleaning solutions depending on the type of stone they are. They come out looking like new. Imagine if all gravestones could be so honored. This was very interesting. Thanks.

[@ShelleeGraham]

Yes, I have seen some of those videos too - they are very good.

[@alexc1287]

Old graveyards are fascinating

[@Corgis175]

Nice change of pace and place.

[@MyBackyardScience]

You found some fascinating history there! Another visit would be great! 😀😊

[@juliajones2283]

I have always found cemetery’s fascinating places full of history and the people deserve to have their names read by visitors. Although they can also obviously be very sad places it’s good to remember these people and their names. I visit my parents headstones fairly regularly as they are local to me but have also traveled to visit much older family members resting places.

[@largent9]

Baby land almost brought a tear to my eye having lost my daughter when she was eleven.

[@cynthiahughes5504]

I'm so sorry for your loss😢

[@Janice-eb1zm]

Great content and commentary on the history you found.

[@jennyf6446]

I think it’s really cool that you are keeping these peoples’ legacies alive ❤

[@gerrystarchild]

It's always nice to visit the ones that have lived before us. Showing respect. Just to say hi. We have not forgotten you. A place we will all be at some day. 😊😊❤

[@adventuresintvland]

I love old cemeteries! I don’t think I have heard of this one. Thank you for sharing!

[@arlenelovelace18]

I love strolling through old cemeteries and looking at the unique headstones.

[@comeoncarebear]

Thank you Adam for another great video.

[@goldentickettohistory108]

I have filmed there a few times! The TG Lee grave was the hardest to find. There is also a grave hidden in the bushes on the cemetery property.

[@donnytucker]

Just last night I was watching a youtube channel that finds old lost graveyards and cemeteries. Most were in the woods on old plantations. He was cleaning the headstones, fixing broken ones. Pretty neat. I find it all fascinating. It was all in Georgia.

[@Carolina_Tripping]

Side step in to history?

[@donnytucker]

@@Carolina_Tripping Yup. Great channel

[@Carolina_Tripping]

@@donnytucker indeed

[@jimvinespresents...8463]

I enjoy exploring the cemeteries of New England, which date back to the 1600s. Thank you for introducing us to this one, Adam.

[@MISSLEONAJB]

Babyland 🥺 I’ve never seen anything like that either. We have a cemetery at the end of our road - it is very peaceful and interesting to walk through and have a read of the different headstones but sad at the same time ♥️ xx

[@LadyDragonsblood]

I could spend hours just wandering through a cemetery... the older the better... so calm and peaceful... a good time to think and ponder.

[@DopeNDisabledProductions]

What an interesting awesome video Adam

[@FatKiki]

The guy with the mosquito on his headstone has a cool story about it, he was super dedicated to them. This is from part of his obituary: "In 1955, he moved to Vero Beach to become the director of the Indian River Mosquito Control District, where he served the residents of the county for 48 years, focused on finding effective mosquito control methods while respecting environmental and economic concerns. A past president of the Florida Mosquito Control Association, he received that association’s Maurice W. Provost Memorial Award and the Meritorious Service Award, as well as the Medal of Honor and Meritorious Service Award from the American Mosquito Control Association. In 2003, he was named a Distinguished Alumnus of the University of Florida. Throughout his career, John always welcomed new ideas and enjoyed sharing knowledge and camaraderie within the entomological community. He was a friend and mentor to several generations of mosquito control workers."

[@ShelleeGraham]

Very cool information. Thank you for sharing your research. 🐜 🐛 🐞 🦟

[@sydneyadams4758]

I love the history within an older cemetery, this one was so peaceful and I loved the songs of the mockingbirds. Thanks for sharing~

[@CryptidColors]

This was a really cool video, Thank you for sharing the cemetery with us!

[@tammystarkey6271]

My husband did lawn care for a cemetery group, he hated the children's section because it always made him very sad.

[@JBIRDRN8]

It actually looks pretty good for such an old cemetery. Thanks for taking us along!

[@a.l.mengel3808]

I've been to Greenwood. I have vlogged about it in #Haunted. It's unfortunate that Babyland has a connection to Sunland Mental Hospital. Very sad and tragic. You can hear sounds of children playing if you walk through at night. And Fred Weeks also wanders the cemetery at night. He isn't too happy that his monument he built saying the three English men who sold him the land were crooks was taken down by the cemetery. And the Wilmott mausoleum is haunted by a ghostly soldier who patrols that area at night. Great vlog Adam!

[@roadstraveledphotography8440]

I went to school with Tom Lee Grandson of the owners of TJ Lee dairy in Orlando. He was a really good guy.. Great video Adam, I really enjoyed this one

[@BananaPuddin73]

Nice visit, cemeteries always shine light on local history and notable people we didn’t know.

[@johnnymoran180]

Interesting video Adam, thanks!

[@CSmith1960]

Very interesting, nice to know others like to go to gravesites for the history ❤

[@GoADHDGo]

“You know how many dead people are in that cemetery? All of ‘em.” My dad when driving by any cemetery every time.

[@nearandfarexplorers5125]

Are we related? My dad says the exact same thing!!

[@tomklock568]

It's a requirement of being a dad. Bad jokes.

[@LeeTheVet]

My Dad would always say, "Lee, people are just dying to get in there".

[@ferg1680]

I was waiting for Scott on (Tap) Tape to jump out....Hey Mister ! 💀

[@clairechristy977]

My Dad "dead centre of town right there!"

[@StLounatic]

A cemetery visit! People are dying to go there. I'll see myself out.

[@conniecrawford5231]

People are also dying to get in.

[@mikey76710]

Absolutely fascinating Adam its not what people think of you arrive its what they think after you leave.

[@Followthelemming]

Nice video. Maybe I'll see you at Mills Café.

[@WDWmommy]

very interesting, appreciate your research and stories shared ❤

[@michelehood8837]

I really liked this video! Some historic info that we wouldn’t have known about otherwise. ❤

[@naybur74]

the old "GRAVE YARD SAFARI", as Michael from "Grimmlife" puts it. i love doing this as well.

[@JenniferandMark2014]

The sounds of nature and the wind chimes are so relaxing ☺️ Jenn

[@CCcastro336]

Oh suppose to be very haunted. I would love to go at night and investigate. It’s very pretty . Thank you for taking us for a walk through.

[@robinbraxton5345]

I went to school with Tommy Gilbert Lee, he's the grandson of T.G. Lee.

[@catherinetozzi8056]

The Heavenly Birds are keeping their eyes on you as they sing their songs to the souls at rest…..❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@pappy4075]

That was a very cool episode. Hope can do more in other parts of country. Thank u

[@tomklock568]

Visiting graveyards puts one in touch with lives gone and our own mortality. I've heard it well said, live out what you want your obituary to say about you!

[@trish5556]

Cemeteries are very interesting. As a genealogist I have found that they can provide some interesting history about those who passed. Have you been to Woodlawn Cemetery to the grave of Bob Ross? It is in Gotha, not far from Winter Garden.

[@mrtiabrown]

Good to see a well Kept Graveyard 👍

[@mh-im2kq]

Really enjoy the historic and old towns you're visiting..

[@dienpost2146]

There's always room for more. Maybe a ghost can follow you home. Cemeteries are always peaceful. Some do have a great view and beautiful trees.

[@AngieLeake]

Cemetery's are beautiful and sacred places

[@robertwalters4024]

As an Orlando local...I love this stuff! Great Work, Adam!

[@Sportyfamilia]

When I was younger I use to go to cementareis to walk and think by my self.

[@philo5096]

Cemeteries are cool places. Great vid, thanx.

[@vandy0419]

Some of those people lived 80 to 90 years old! And they say quality of life has changed. ha! Clearly shows I need to move to FL to hopefully have a long life.

[@lisapolanski9379]

I like this content, historic places. Whenever you visit a cemetery you should say a prayer for the dead, especially for those who have nobody left to pray for them. You can find a traditional prayer for the dead online. It's a good deed to do.

[@ShelleeGraham]

I really like the idea of saying a prayer 🙏 for the deceased when visiting sacred ground. Thank you for sharing this. 👍

[@BostonRho]

I thought I was the only one who did this 🤦‍♀️. Love walking through and learning about those who pasted. 😊❤

[@gaminggoliath8603]

Amazing content! make more videos like this.

[@drewwadsworth3285]

Adam, you mention Family Plot several times. Hitchcock would be proud.

[@bob4364]

Hey Adam fine video and interesting tour of oldest cementary in FL..Also interesting research of the past famous people in life as well..

[@mustangcindy1303]

Learned something new thanks to your video today. Some of my kin folk maybe in that cemetery. One of the famous Virginians I am kin to was Thomas Jefferson and I am also kin to the Eppes family so maybe that’s some of my kin in there. I also cried some when you showed that Babyland area. You would have to have a heart of stone for that to not hit you a little.

[@michaelcoffey7362]

Good video, Cemetaries are interesting.😀

[@i.b.brandon4977]

I lived in Orlando in the late 1960's until 1981. Carl Langford before becoming mayor of Orlando was a policeman in town.

[@christiansegarra1981]

When I was in Scotland, I found some headstones dating back to the 1400s. If I had more time, could have found older ones.😮

[@familyarthurs5922]

If you go to Edinburgh Scotland, which I highly recommend for the Edinburgh Festival, visit Greyfriars Kirkyard cemetery. You will find the names of characters from Harry Potter there. J. k. Rollings used names from tombs for the character names. Very interesting!

[@ShelleeGraham]

That’s so interesting. What a cool place to visit and look for the names. Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 is awesome 👏.

[@judypeeklueer5484]

In regard to ‘Baby Land’, and why the kids and babies are in one spot. When babies die, the parents are younger and haven’t thought about or could afford cemetery plots. Also, most funeral homes & cemeteries bury babies and children for free.

[@GregsGameRoom]

Sad to think that not even your tombstone will last much more than a couple hundred years… Also the Starbuck family? I thought that was only from Battlestar Galactica!

[@sandrabearden3441]

One thing about graveyards is that they are very peaceful. 🐦☀🌳

[@mistymarchese600]

This was such a cool video, I found it very interesting, thanks

[@johnazinaro7408]

Adam, would you ever consider doing an evening cemetery ghost hunt video? Would be fun to have a few of your friends join you.

[@ShelleeGraham]

YES! 👍 Evening cemetery tour !YES!

[@stephenthomas2293]

When you go to Orlando, you don’t even think about doing kool things like that, going to the oldest cemetery in Orlando with a lot of history is great for people like me who love history. Thank you for doing the video

[@scuffedfrank693]

no piping hot caffeinated beverages? no stanchions?!, no "nightmare fuel" or "backside of greenwood" ? scandalous !

[@MaDNess1969]

😂😂😂

[@ralphalonso4932]

There's a greenwood cemetery in Brooklyn that is a whose who of famous actors, politicians, entrepreneurs , civil war vets etc... I find it facsinating

[@kahristah]

I would always go on walks here after work! It was creepy but I found it beautiful especially in spring. I remember seeing Babyland and thought it was sooo sad.

[@TheDailyWoo]

It’s very sad .

[@carlavision6143]

Adam, really enjoyed your video and very interesting! Love seeing old tombstones in the cemeteries! Fort Washita had an old cemetery but, they left the bodies and took the headstones.

[@ChemistryWithDrD]

I just learned that the painter Bob Ross was from Orlando and is buried in a cemetery in Gotha a few miles north west of Universal Studios.

[@knight20121960]

Actually, let’s different cemeteries. You should do more of that and do in history on certain people that did history. That’s excellent. I like that.

[@Jaxparoh]

Thanks Adam! Have a great day! 👍🏻

[@RobynDawson1860]

The west side of the cemetery sits just outside my bedroom window. It is a peaceful view with beautiful sunrises and launches.

[@bryancobb1151]

Spent so much time in there , late 80s is when all us highschool kids would run around there at night on the weekends✌

[@dottiegillespie8067]

Good morning Mr Woo. Always a pleasure sir.

[@jamesacklin7261]

I like this kind of content, i sometimes go to Hollywood Forever Cemetarie.That where Judy Garland, Micky Roonie, Valarie Harper, Burt Reynolds, Chris Cornel just to name a few.From Universal Jamie.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Hollywood forever is a nice place . Used to live couple blocks from there and would go walk around often

[@mariedupuis7802]

I like history and the video ! Very interesting subject ❤

[@markphillipson768]

Always interesting Adam. So many people forgotten and families long gone. In Europe Graves are resold at descendants permission because land is much more scarce.

[@Sam-02024]

Babyland 😢❤

[@rchambers1993]

Looking great Adam! Blessings!

[@mikenevermon9041]

really interesting thanks

[@jenniferfarrar7641]

Good morning Adam happy Tuesday Adam ❤😊

[@matthewfarmer2520]

Morning Adam the woo 😎👍📸 the cemetery looks interesting to see the oldest and what u have found. Thanks for sharing this. Awesome.

[@WatchingYou2024]

I guess you can't think of any new ideas. There are so many things to see just in Orlando and you go to a cemetery?

[@TheDailyWoo]

Yes that’s where I wanted to .i had never been to that one

[@dckmatrixxx]

Hey Adam, what will you put on your grave stone?

[@krisanderson1787]

It's interesting learning more about the Orlando area. Since the 70's I've only been to Orlando for one thing..... Disney. Thanks Adam!

[@danhamilton7701]

The serenity of a nice quiet stroll through a cemetery. Having grown up next to one I'd like to share this in case you didn't know. Do you know why most cemeteries have fences around them ? People are dying to get in.

[@travissapp4961]

Wow what a great day adam hope your having fun

[@rigocolas]

Hi! Love you Adam!

[@chrisito245]

Wow! I was just watching Hollywood Graveyard today.

[@AndyWarren]

That's a great channel!

[@denisedarnell1641]

Love Mr Darks page as well as FACES OF THE FORGOTTEN by Ron Carlson as well

[@lovebuzz1979]

I watch that channel as well. Great Stuff
