You Won't Believe the CRAZY Way They Made this 1940s Kansas Dairy Barn (ABANDONED on the Prairie)

[@dave-uf8ir]

Kiddos are golden this is wat its about cheers silas & family 😊

[@markransom08]

You're a good Dad to take your kids out for an adventure like this. They're right at the age where they're going to retain a fare amount of what they see.

[@chrisnewman6406]

Most important part of life, Time spent with our children!!! God Bless you brother

[@scootermcd5756]

Your kids are incredible.. you my friend are a lucky man.

[@chrisurschel6832]

Fancy toys and "stuff " will be forgotten but days like this will be remembered for ever. My kids are in their thirties and they remember the trips to the woods on the family farm and to the reservoirs in our area in the winter time with the water down.

[@dave-uf8ir]

Had to watch again wish I had that building on my property excellent silas 😊

[@billeckelberry6502]

Your kids are adorable! They added a lot to the video. Reminded me of when my kids were young. Thanks for the Dad tour!! Enjoyed it!!

[@kearnsey64]

Silus, your kids are absolutely adorable ❤! You're a great dad! I loved this!

[@Viscalis]

That white glass jar you found is made of what people call Milk Glass. It was very popular in the 40s and 50s and usually had lotions and sorts inside.

[@GwynnOak1]

Thanks for sharing some family time! It's very personal, and really very precious. Your kids are precious, only little once, and SO cute then. They grow up so fast on you. That looked like a old milk glass cold cream jar. Like a Pacquin's or Pond's jar, some people collect milk glass. Take care!

[@Micheal-jo1sl]

Silas, thanks for showing us your family and the wonders of rural Kansas!

[@claytondewey3367]

Wonderful video. A lot of fun watching the little ones explore the old barn and play at the reservoir. Really shows how a wonderful dad you are. 🎉🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏

We have some old barns and houses in the UK that are made from "cob" which is a mix of mud and chopped straw, some of them are over 500 years old.

[@charliemansonUK]

Our house in Cumbria when I was growing up in the 80's was cob built. Walls were 6 feet thick in places. The true age wasn't known but it was on maps from the 1600's. The neighbour behind had a whole farm dating from the same timescale, the barn was vaulted oak beams and a traditional long barn possibly up to 600 years old. They're still standing in a village called Moorhouse they were the last buildings on the left.

Nice adventure thank you

[@CAROLDDISCOVER-2025]

Watch pretty neat. I guess the old granny and me was concerned about snakes and that tall grass. Used take my kids out exploring when they were much smaller. My wife is watching and she was saying how cute your kids are especially your smallest boy. So I'm saying you hit this out of the park thanks for sharing.

🔴🔴 The big grooves in the floor is the poop trouth the wood slats that are angled the cow would stick there head threw the wood slats and eat well being milked. The poop trouths had a small round hole to push the wast outside this was mostly used in the winter to minimize the cold coming in well cleaning out the wast.

it my be a cold cfeam jar, couldn't tell if it had threads or not no thread the older

Hey Silas you ever check out the Big Well in Greensburg Kansas. I thought it was awesome, when I was stationed in Wichita.

[@Awsom47Merc]

* Silas you've gotten so good at making the vids ! Loved the opening music. You got some nice well mannered kids. You and the wife are good parents. Nice old barn. Yes people can be such as*holes ! No respect for anything. And it's just getting worse. Yes Crappy love the stumps. The lake I grew up on had a flooded bay we called stumpy cove. They damned our lake in like 1907 raising it's level flooding that mashy area. They dynamited the cedars to enlarge the lake resulting in all the stumps. Great Crappy and Bass fishing and no speed boats to chase the fish off . 👊😎👍

[@leonardcrum6896]

The little jar looks like maybe Ponds cold cream.
