That’s Will Rogers, vaudeville performer, actor, and humorist. 1878 -1935. He was incredibly famous but he died in an airplane crash in Alaska.

[@urbaxvibes]

Wow cool history thank you!!

[@JarJar66]

Was this filmed in Maine?

[@ServiceDogRosie]

Did he know laurel and hardy? Also vaudeville actors

[@SouthernNurseAndTheLaw]

@@ServiceDogRosieWill was born and raised in Clarmore Oklahoma, in Northeastern Oklahoma. I imagine he did know Laurel and Hardy on some level given that they were all entertainers during the same era. I didn’t find any photos of the three together. But they certainly made movies during the same time period.

[@SouthernNurseAndTheLaw]

@@ServiceDogRosieThere’s a Will Rogers museum in Claremore Ok . He and the Oklahoma native he died with Wiley Post are still remembered today. The airport in Oklahoma City is “Will Rogers World Airport” and the smaller municipal airport nearby is Wiley Post Airport. They died in Alaska testing a new Lockheed plane. Located in northeastern Oklahoma, Rogers County was named for Clement Rogers, a prominent legislator, judge and father to Will Rogers.

I grew up by this house - always wondered what was inside! They did a great job making it appear like it was occupied for years, with random lights that would pop on and off to keep explorers out. They recently subdivided the property and put some into conservation to keep the area wooded and beautiful. I wondered if they would do something historic with that beautiful piece of history! Loved the video - you fulfilled a 30+ year dream of mine to see the interior!!

How long has it been empty because it's still fairly clean, no cobwebs etc

[@normafisher-mixon1101]

@@marmar476 That's why I think it's ready for a sale or family to come and choose things.

[@lynngibson634]

I agree with comments being made that this house was passed down from generation to generation due to the 1800's old pictures, furniture and other awesome items. They kept their keepsakes and memories and passed everything down until finally most had died and the younger generations for whatever reason did not see value in keeping it, which is sad. Thank you for taking us all through.

[@urbaxvibes]

Thank you for enjoying the explore! 😁

[@normafisher-mixon1101]

It almost looks like it's laid out for people to choose their "memory items" or for a sale in my opinion.

Awesome explore guys!! A true time capsule.

Thank you!

[@rhondaregister8081]

That sideboard with the deer head was used to hold linens and dishes. It is magnificent!The chair with springs is called a Morris chair which was the original recliner with dowel rods in the back that could be adjusted to recline. That wicker bedroom chair is unbelievable. Being a wicker lover, that made me drool. The spinning wheel was used to spin wool into yarn. They may have had sheep to supply the wool. The pitcher and bowl usually sat upon a washstand where water was put in the pitcher then poured into the bowl to wash up. That set is worth a small fortune. The tools would be amazing to see as well. The sewing machine is a treadle machine operated by a foot plate - first machine I ever learned to sew on. Still have one in my house now. Being a furniture restorer, I would be in heaven restoring the furniture in this house! Could also spend days pouring through all the books. What treasures this house holds! Many of those pieces are museum quality, it's a shame a local museum can't display them.

[@elizabethjohnston3264]

agree with you completely! What a gem the whole house and it's contents is.I wonder how it has lasted this long without vandalism or bad decay.

[@normafisher-mixon1101]

Unfortunately with the drop in antique prices and the fact that the younger generation don't know about the things--a lot of them go wanting.

[@sonialelii9038]

It's such a shame.

[@cassandrafisher2437]

I don’t know if the metal pot was a chamber pot, but the white porcelain pot with the lid on the dresser in the first bedroom was probably a chamber pot. The white porcelain pitcher and basin in the second bedroom was the indoor plumbing.

[@andreachristensen7855]

Second stairs is for the servants and the office was probably where they had the food and then passed it through the cabinet to the dinning area.

[@marywegrzyn506]

I hope you alert the local historical Society there n tell them all about that home being filled with important photos and artifacts that need to be salvaged and preserved immediately in a Museum . Please take a moment to contact them. There are countless irreplaceable items there.

[@Cedargirl11]

I second this!

[@barbaraalexander1691]

This property and all contents belong to the owner. Yesterday would be stealing. Museums can't come on and steal items to display.

What an amazing house which was very well looked after back in it's day. The wallpaper is very impressive and mostly still in great condition. Wonderful place that needs saving 👍

[@urbaxvibes]

I totally agree!

[@stephaniekern603]

I did some digging on the photo you guys found at the very beginning on the mantle piece, and it is indeed Will Rogers. Here's some information on him: William Penn Adair Rogers (November 4, 1879 - August 15, 1935) was an American vaudeville performer, actor, and humorous social commentator. He was born as a citizen of the Cherokee Nation, in the Indian Territory (now part of Oklahoma), and is known as "Oklahoma's Favorite Son".[2] As an entertainer and humorist, he traveled around the world three times, made 71 films (50 silent films and 21 "talkies"),[3] and wrote more than 4,000 nationally syndicated newspaper columns.[4] By the mid-1930s, Rogers was hugely popular in the United States for his leading political wit and was the highest paid of Hollywood film stars. That being said, it looks like you found an autographed photo of him, maybe even one of his last before he died. I would hate to leave that exposed to the elements.

[@urbaxvibes]

Wow thats cool!!

[@kathymobley6303]

Nice tour! Will Rogers was an American actor/comrdian. Died in the 1930's. The little dolls, printed in a leather shoe bottom - are old fashioned souvenirs we used to pick up cheap when we visited different places. 😊

[@toddsimpson9164]

I'm thinking that a family built the house 203 years ago, then it was passed down several generations until probably the 1970s or 1980s when it was abandoned. Since that "attic" was filled with woodworking stuff, one of the owners must have made all the head/foot boards and chairs. It's definitely a time capsule! Of course, you could go to the county courthouse (records) and see if you can find who owned the house last.

[@AlleenLoveHope]

ik you're always careful but please protect this location

[@TheGstadley]

The small room off the kitchen was the "Birthing Room". There may have been a 'birthing chair' (which was common for childbirth in the olden days) inside still, had you looked. A few have survived by being placed in attics, etc.. Lovely home. Thanks for sharing.

[@bjf8962]

I have just discovered your videos recently and really appreciate how respectful you are of the places you explore and the belongings you find. I really enjoy your videos and hope you keep making more because you seem to honor the past and people who lived the walls.

[@urbaxvibes]

Thank you so much!!

[@joannemcfadden6405]

Those pitchers and bowls are how they washed. The pot that you took the lid off of in the first bedroom was a chamber pot. They used those at night time if they woke up and had to potty.

[@dorcasia109]

I recognize those panasonic radios. Looks like the 70's. Same with the Ivory Snow box. That's probably the end of people living here. It's weird they never ran electricity to the whole house. They usually did that with old houses. My house is 135 years old and plumbing and electrical were added at a later time but it's a much smaller house. There are outlets too high to reach and windows right next to the toilet because it originally had no bathroom.

[@srevero1]

First time here and I really loved it. I liked seeing as much as possible. Everything was very dated and interesting. So many treasures that should be saved. I wish we could have info on the family that lived here, as well. Thank you for sharing and being respectful of the memories of those passed. Subbed!

[@urbaxvibes]

Thank you so much! We appreciate your support!

[@juliejorg]

I will move into that house tomorrow!! I am in awe that it exists and is full of history and treasure! I live for that time period. What happens to these places? Does anyone eventually buy them? That place is incredible!!! (And I want it 😀)

[@joannemcfadden6405]

My questions are….who owns these places and keeps the thieves out? It is amazing the shape this stuff is in to be abandoned almost 100 yrs. How does that happen? Amazing!

Second staircase aka ‘servants stairs’ I’d love to see more shots of the wood work and stuff. I’d love to be able to geek out on that kind of thing. Door nobs and hardware, newel posts, molding, windows, wallpaper etc.

[@dianepeters7485]

Not a bed pan, but you're close. It is a chamber pot, and yes they went to bathroom in them if they needed to go during the night, so they didn't have to trudge out to the outhouse in the night or in bad weather. Usually, a servant would be called upon to empty them. In great houses, it was the job of the servant with the least seniority to be the "tosser" to dump the contents into a bucket, schlep it downstairs, and empty it out in the outhouse. In England calling someone a tosser or toss pot is still used as an insult.

[@jasonjones5213]

One of the coolest places I've seen you guys explore yet.Great video.

[@urbaxvibes]

Glad you enjoyed it thank you!

[@amymacmann2973]

28:05 I have a picture of the game “lakeshore see the sounds alphabet stamps” they were blocks to teach children the alphabet and sounds. The ivory snow soap powder is 75 years old and used for babies. Also the sink in the kitchen is that big because it was used to wash clothes that’s why the detergent was next to it, there were no washing machines back then. What an interesting house, you can clearly see they had a small child living there with the toys shoes baby washing soap ect.

[@urbaxvibes]

That’s cool!

[@dorcasia109]

That box is from about 1972 or so. They still make Ivory Snow. There was a controversy about an ad they did or something. By this time most people had at least a ringer washer. We had one when I was little. They could be dangerous to use.

[@SamanthaNaish-pw1ze]

The second staircase was the servants staircase. Most lead to the kitchen. Servants could move around the house without being seen or heard via these staircases. That one looks rather nice. Most are very narrow, steep, and have uneven stairs.

[@normafisher-mixon1101]

You walked past a chair which are typically termed "Morris chairs"- although they were made by a great many other companies. They would have a wooden mechanism on the back that let it down to recline- and possibly a mechanism that would slide out and up for your feet. They were the forerunners of recliners.

You know that guitar is very old . Most likely civil war era. Should be in a museum. Lots of things that weren't pointed out . Like the century or more of wear on the kitchen cabinet doors where the yellow paint is wore off from constant use. And the fact that nobody painted over that yellow paint all that time. The wall behind the wood stove I'm sure was a cooking fireplace that got closed up and plastered over probably sometime in the early 20th century. You can clearly see the back of it in the room behind the kitchen. I sure wish you would have shown the basement and attic. Thanks for sharing.

[@normafisher-mixon1101]

The pan under the bed may have been used for a "bedpan", but a true bedpan is different. In one room he walked over to where there was a china wash basin and pitcher on a chest of drawers. Beside it was what appeared to look like an enormous cup with a lid that he lifted off the top--THAT was truly what was used at night to "go" in. They were commonly called "thunder mugs" for obvious reasons.

[@jackiequick8010]

Ivory Snow was for laundry, not dishes. And it's too bad the young lady didn't know what a lot of the items were. Perhaps, when you give a tour again to an old relic like this magnificent house, you may want to study up on things from that era which would help. :)
