I love old cemeteries. Thanks for the video.

Nothing like the smell of honeysuckle, and what a pretty little purple English flower. PA is so beautiful all the little paths and greenery loved tagging along. The little graveyard is so quaint, and lovely, they are so interesting.

Beautiful 🥰 I love seeing old cemeteries

Spectacular! Just so inspiring every step of the journey.

I love old cemeteries, I find them a fascinating glimpse into history. What a beautiful place and a lovely walk. Thank you, I really enjoy your channel. 🙏

I have relatives in that cemetery - I plant to visit soon. Thanks for the video. Rob Chambers

Thank you for this wonderful video.

Who ever maintains the trail should maintain the cemetery too, that would be nice. It's beautiful .

Great cemetery. WW! Thank You! DaveyJO

The wrought iron fencing set this family cemetary as a lovely peaceful place, just a pity that it was overgrown. Love your cemetary videos, been awhile between visits to a cemetary, thanks forshowing us about. The newer looking headstones, they look as though they are not the original ones. Well done to those who replaced them.

This trail you took and the cemetery is all so beautiful thank you so much for sharing

Love the older cemeteries. They tell a story like no other.

Watching this from the original Carlisle - Carlisle, UK. This Carlisle is in the county of Cumbria formerly known as the county of Cumberland.

Beautiful trail. That one Robert was born before the Revolutionary War. Amazing. Thank you. Do you ever taste the honeysuckle dew drop inside the flower? Just like honey. So sweet.

Love your Adventures thanks for taking us with you

Thanks!

Reminds me of a phrase from one of my favorite movies/ books "Bury me where the lilies bloom." I believe the both are called Where the Lilies Bloom Heart wrenching story

LOVED this video! Everything about it. The hike, the foraging, the flowers, the honeysuckle, the cemetery....all of it! 5 stars! Thanks!

Have you ever heard the saying:" When someone speaks your name, you are not forgotten!" Show us the graves and read us the names....what a beautiful thing for you to do...thank you so much!

I wish someone would clean up the old cemeteries it is a shame they don't. I am 76 yrs old do not travel any more your videos give me a chance to see interesting places. Thank you .

Wow! My Chambers family came from the Harrisburg, Chambersburg area of Pennsylvania several generations back.. Great video and a beautiful old cemetery..

I lived in Chambersburg when I was a young child. In the 60's it was a nice town.

What a pretty little flower . 😁

My son had the indian strawberries somehow growing in his garden. Now I can tell him what they are. Always enjoy when you tell us what the flowers and berry plants are. Really cool older cemetary and headstones.

Being from Lancaster PA there's so many cemeteries that are from bug farms, sold and turned into developments or commercial and it's always so neat to see that a cemetery is on the property.

thanks for this video! im adding it to my road trip!

Outstanding, I love the old cemetery videos!

It may be abandoned but there's a serenity there in it's wild state with filled with abundant plant growth.They grow, thrive and pass away season after season in a particular spot with those long gone, the natural beautiful celebration of life side by side with those who have moved on to eternal life.

Beautiful walk and nice day.. I miss hiking as I recover from spinal surgery. Thank you for taking us with you.

That style of fence crossing steps is called a stile. Thanks for another good video.

Enjoy your old cemetery explores.

Lived in Carlisle almost all my life and never heard of this cemetery. It's very pretty.

It’s in the hay field at the intersection of Appalachian Dr and Old Stone house Rd! I know right where it is but I’ve never stopped to take a look! There’s a pull off at the one turn on Appalachian Dr where you can walk right to it!

Good video thanks

Very good

Thank you for showing us this very cool part of the AT. Loved the meander thru those green pastures. 😊

Honeysuckle is one of the best smells. Lilac is too.

I just watched this video in March. I loved the green, the flowers, the berries, and the sound of birds and wind. Thanks for this, Cliff.

Love the cemetery

Another great video of an interesting and beautiful place that id never see if you didn't show us . Thanks for sharing.

@The Wondering Woodsman Dang it man you were in my back yard!!!! I live right next to that trail!!!! Hit me up next time if you want to explore some more. I know of a couple other ones that are semi unknown. The first road you crossed is the one I live off of.

Did a little digging and it seems that Thomas Urie, Esq. was an early Cumberland County attorney and one of the first sheriffs of the recently formed Bedford County ( he was appointed in 1777). I love walking around the old cemeteries here in NE Tennessee, too. Our oldest date back to around 1765-70. My family migrated here from Lancaster County between the 1790s and 1810s. I need to come up to your neck of the woods and have a walkabout and do some research.

Ok one more back up again lol...... I have done genealogy work for over 25 yrs... and going to a Cemetery is so very interesting to me.... you can learn about the town, people, ancestry, illnesses in the day etc. so very cool :)

Thank you for sharing this beautiful walk.

Thanks Cliff for taking me on that real nice hike. Glad you commented in wine berries, there were many on the rural part of Long Island where i grew up, my mother made jelly out of them. I have wild strawberries in my back yard here in north Fla.

The headstone of John H Williamson, 1 year, 2 months 21 days has been located out of state and we hope it will be returned to the Chambers Farm Cemetery soon.

It's a shame that no one runs a line trimmer in this cemetery to at least keep heavy brush and trees from growing in the cemetery eventually destroying it.

Very interesting cemetery. My grandmother was a Chambers from West Georgia. Her family comes from North Carolina. That's as much as I know. Need to do some research. My father's family comes from Bucks County, PA from England. My maiden name is Burson. Enjoy your videos.

There’s a cemetery along 274 in Perry County you should check out it’s on the right hand side up the road from the Rangers station if your heading from Blain to Path Valley! You should check it out sometime and do a video!

IF programs were created similar to the WPA, they could offer employment opportunities and would address many properties in need of care. There are so many abandoned or neglected cemeteries due to church closings or no funds available to maintain them. It would be a win-win situation.

Years ago each church had their own cemetery. As members declined, treasuries depleted, church’s closed or were joined to form one congregation, finances were not allotted to maintain the cemeteries of their closed churches. Depending on its size it can cost hundreds to thousands of dollars for lawn cutting and this does not include repair if headstones. It’s very sad to see abandoned cemeteries. They need to be maintained either by volunteers or by those who are required to do community service.

It's not actually "in the middle of nowhere." It's actually on the old Murphy-Chambers Farmland property. Someone is clearly still growing maize on the land, so there's also that. Oh, and an interesting tidbit of information--there is another grave for slaves somewhere around that same cemetery; though, naturally, there would be no markers or official documentation for this.

Hello there. I not long ago discovered your site and i have been enjoying your series immensely. I was wondering, since you have been exploring cemetaries, if you had explored the historic Harrisburg pa. graveyard at 13th and liberty street that stretches all the way to Herr street to the north? Also have you explored the carlisle graveyard that has a large monument at the resting place of Molly Pitcher and a few revolutionary war generals and personnel? They both have amazing art form headstones and history. I took my children to both when they were young for the history of this area.

Fantastic really old cemetery. It's well worth exploring, so serine.

Beautiful. Old cemetery

Thank you for another wonderful old cemetery vid. I hope someone in the area will inquire about caring for it. It's sad to see these final resting places so forgotten and neglected.

Hi Cliff, what a lovely out of the way peaceful place and a nice hike to get there too. Thank you for sharing. x

A beautiful hike with a beautiful cemetery WW! And what a beautiful day! Many Thanks! It has been a fine beginning to this 3rd of July which is also my Grandfathers 128 birthday, he passed in 1989 at 97 years. Fine Steps on Natural Land! DaveyJO

Kathy Smick Thank You Kathy! I Love hearing about people's families and backgrounds. The Grandparents I talked about were big into history and family history. They traced my Scotch Irish background back to 1260s. Not much is know about my Weaver background and there are many Weavers. I do know they came to Philadelphia in the late 1600s. Thing is Kathy, we are related and all one human family. I also Love all the cultures, the foods, music, art and traditions. I thought I was mostly German and found out that over half is Uk, Scotland and Ireland, Scandinavian , eastern Spain, some Eastern Europe, Viking and Celtic and I would think some Labrador retriever. I do love dogs, cats and animals. I have photographs of my GGGgrandparents from the late 1850s. Alexander was born in Ireland in 1772, his wife 1780s. The pictures were taken late in life of course and I have my GGgrandparents photos as well. Joseph was a shoemaker and I have his ledgers from 1840s-1870s. And my Grandfather born in 1892, knew an old man in his childhood who's father fought in the American Revolution. So a hundred years is really not long at all. And doesn't time go fast. My favorite saying is, time flies like an arrow and and fruit flies like a banana. A fun stupid saying, eh? Have a Fine week! DaveyJO in Pa.

Thanks again I really enjoyed this one I love the cemetery ones because one of these times you might run into one of my ancestors Graves as far as I know thanks for another good one

Beautiful video. you need to make a customer reading the names and saying them out loud. In honor of the Dead. If it'd been me I would read every name I could find.

Sadly stolen and "Antique Reseller" is making a big buck off it. or worse it was traded for scrape metal by addicts. I have Pictures over few decades of Elm Wood Cemetery & Pine Wood Cemetery. They were 2 separate cemeteries divided only by the fence and different entrances, Elm was for whites and Pine was for the black population due to racial serration. The fence did come down in the 1960's but I digress... and you can see the old wrought iron fencing slow disheartening from the old Cemetery in the Heart of Uptown (what the call downtown because it is on hill and it sounds more ""classy'') Charlotte NC. It is sad to see the old shorts and look to day and know there were all the grand fences that have been stolen....

Hey I am originally from Carlisle area !!!

I like to relax at the end of the day to your videos....so I am going to say now, .... beautiful.... and now I will lay back down lol :)

Very nice.

Tombstones sink ??? That's why alot cemetery's seem half empty??

Many different types of "pinks" in the Dianthus family.

It must be nice to become one with the woods. Wish I was there.

When the National Park Service ( Federal Govt ) purchased the land (eminent domain, maybe), the owners at the time were granted "rights" to the land for a period of time. It might be 100 years. The land can be used for original purposes--farming. Whoever has rights now is leasing the land for agricultural purposes. After the "rights" expire, the land will not be farmed and will go "untouched" in accordance with National Park Service mission. A FOIA request to NPS could reveal specifics of the land acquisition for this segment of trail. Who knows? Maybe NPS has more info on cemetery.

It is called a Stiles.

within about 100 feet from there in the woods theres a plot where slaves were buried. Its pretty hard to find the markers though. I live 5 minutes from there.

Stile, at the 9:30ish mark over the fence. Used to go over one when I was young on my parents farm.

I was born in Carlisle 1948 😅

I found a picture of the William Culbertson Grave....on Ancestry .com with grass cut in 2016.....his wife was Catharine.....interesting. Maybe Catharine was a Chambers? Robert Urie had a son John and daughter Robyna Greer???? Wife Grizzy and a son Thomas?

I love old cemeteries and used to place a sheet of drawing paper and charcoal the indentation. They used to use some fascinating words on Gravestones. It's beautiful there in PA.

I like how with the haunting stories, you may not believe in them personally. But you tell the story in a way to let people come to their own conclusions. I do not believe in ghosts, although I used too. Since I became a Christian, I believe that what we call ghosts are demons. No matter what one believes, we can all enjoy the stories.

very nice! A bit of a long walk but still great. The day lilies will stand out more if next time bring a weeder and cut the weeds down 😊

Hi there! You wouldn't happen to know if there are any blackthron trees in that area?

I live KENTUCKY where was a project repair and replace headstones. A Jewish cemetery I knew because it well travel street everyone used as shortcut to get down . But the city decided to cleanup grave yard inside the city limits. It was an abandoned colored cemetery . I didn't no existed it had 200 years there are slaves buried there most of gravemarkers were wooden or non existent. They working on for 2yrs.

Enjoying your hikes and chats. If you are interested, I like a website and app called Find A Grave. You can see who is buried there, add your own photos and GPS coordinates! (No affiliation). Keep hikin’!

Have you ever seen any Hanway grave markers? My Father told me years ago an ancestor of ours made pickle barrels in Pennsylvania and my Great Grandfather that lived in Tennessee had a street named after him. They misspelled the name adding an a between Han and way and instead of correcting the street sign, my ancestors just adapted the misspelled name. Now, I can't find a street in Tennessee named Hanaway, but we still misspell our name. lol
