Robert. Another great video. Please add a photograph of the house

This video is giving me " metal detecting fever ". That homestead is huge. Watched this 2 times.

That's been an impressive size of house going by the two chimneys. Love it. 🌺👍🌺👍🌺 Beautiful location in its hey day ☺

Aww, Wish you had a picture of what it once looked like, If Only Bricks Could Talk...Beautiful..

Thank you for taking us along when you go on an adventure. I looked at those chimminies and think of the pictures of Sherman's march to the sea. This place looks so beautiful in spite of the damage.

It would have been wonderful if you could posted some of the photos that you had seen

Thank you for your video, and I agree with you about the leaving it private , the history is amazing and please be safe out there and God bless you and your family 👍👍👍👍👍

Are you ever going to metal detect around there. I know there will be lots of nails. But just think of the history treasures you might just find... Also some of that timber would make some beautiful picture frames and or shadow boxes. I personally would rather see some of that timber repurposed than seeing it riot away... It's hard to find good aged timber like that... I'm not talking about taking it all just a few choice pieces... If those chimneys would ever collapse those aged bricks could be repurposed for non-structural things like landscaping around a garden or a walk way... I just love seeing old things given a new life... Thanks for another fun and interesting video... Be blessed... BBE..

Good Robert! I agree that a few items from this once stately home are very cool “relics” and happy to hear that you have the occasional old brick in your garden. In my opinion, this allows a bit of the house to live on, albeit in another place and probably a different purpose. Those chimneys are amazing, standing there like guardians. I have always felt that old houses have souls, or at least some do.......those with life, love and laughter stored within their walls. What a cool find. Thank you for sharing.

What a grand old home this was! When mans not around nature takes over. Not to many more years and there will be nothing but vines,grass and trees.

Totally agree with your decision not to reveal locations and your reasoning. Too many hateful people around with no respect for anything or anyone.

What a great place Rober! Thanks for sharing it! And Thanks for not revealing the locations, good policy and I agree totally! Safe Journeys and Great Adventures! Blessings! DaveyJO in Pa.

That was a huge home. Very cool ruins. Would love to see what it looked like. Just imagine what those old walls and fireplaces could tell you if they could talk... Thanks, Robert for this look back into time...😃

Very cool place. So sad it burned. I bet it was amazing in its heyday.

I admire the fact that you respect the places and graveyards as to not reveal the locations,... totally agree that a LOT of people would not have as much respect of the places and just want to take things and damage things as well..! the remains of this old home must of been a large home for a large family, due to where the Fireplaces were and how far apart they were... at one time it must of been really grand..

A great house tour as always !!!! thanks much !!!

I found your channel quite by accident and absolutely love your videos. I so enjoy seeing what is more often than not ruins of old homes or graveyards. For you to keep the locations private says a whole lot about who you are. I have to say I agree with you here. As much as a lot of people might want to know so they could see, there are just as many who would go and destroy whatever they can which is so disrespectful. Keep doing what you do.

Great video!! Liked seeing that "frog" like object on the tree on your left as you were first entering the ruins at beginning of video. Love exploring old ruins as well. When exploring, always try to imagine what was happened at some point in time; what the inhabitants were like; etc.. THIS IS HISTORY!!

Wish I could have seen the house before it burned down. Awesome video, had me feeling kinda' sad and melancholy when I watched.. and yes,isn't it exciting to find even the smallest remnant of the past,like finding lost treasure!! Seeing it on video was great,but actually being there,WOW,I bet you were psyched!!👍👍

That place looks to have been pretty big. Bet that was some fire! Shame. Fire is my biggest fear. Thanks for the adventure. Keep safe out there :)

Thks for an interesting explore. Georgia overgrowth is impressive.

If that toilet is where the bathroom actually was, that must have been the worlds warmest bathroom next to that huge fireplace!

I full heartedly agree with you not wanting to give out the location, but it would be really hard to disrespect these ruins without it being a multiple person effort, like 12 people working together.

I believe that house was used in The Green Beret movie starring John Wayne back in 1968.

When you were in the area that “homeless” made a campsite 🏕 & you showed the tree 🌲 that had some writing ✍️ upon it it had me recalling a story I had read so many years ago ... i surely can not recall much of the story but the writer talking about Hobo markings stood out with me! There was supposedly a “code” they had & little symbols they would scribble had meanings to other Hobos ( safe place, mean land owner, etc ) ... seeing the tree 🌲 had me recalling the story!

That second building looks like the Kitchen rather than a servant house. Remember a lot of well to do places had kitchens built separate of the main house.

That must have been a huge home beautiful even now but a shame ♥️

Nothing there to vandalize. Just some brick and old wood. Besides I know where that place is. Been there once.

Its amazing how quickly nature can cover-up where people have been! If we all disappeared overnight, in about fourty years not much would be left

Yes only if they could talk I would listen you should make a patio floor and a n oven to have picnic and when it rains put a tent to sleep under .I envy people who can do things like that oh how wonderfull.

That’s a huge house how sad sure would have loved to seen that when it was original how beautiful it must have been and the view had to of been awesome

Thank you for keeping them secret, your right beautiful!

You mentioned that you saw the black-and-white picture of this home and it would’ve been really nice for us to see and compare as well if that was doable.

Such an old school country boy. 15:30 . I'm the same way.

It would have an awesome finish to your video to show a Historical picture of the house as it once was. Major points would've been scored for that.

I've been watching your videos for sometime I live in Atlantaand I've always wondered why you never tell what part of Georgia these places are but it's a really good reason and I respect that but I would love to explore some of those places

Vey cool!

Must have been a spectacular house - and one heck of spectacular fire burning down of the place - nothing left frame wise - such a pity. And seems so overgrown so quickly.

Would have loved to see a still if it was available

You are right....protect what you see.

Looks like a massive house

Wow that house looks like it was huge. Pretty cool brick work. Where did they get bricks in the 1840's?

Hi from Billings MT I'm just viewing this video in 5/2019. I really enjoy your videos. I'm wondering if there is a cemetery on the property and if there is a history of slaves or indentured servants with family? Servants may have been housed in the main house. Those brick outbuildings look to be high status and may have been for a foreman or overseer or even a Coachman.

@AdventuresIntoHistory

5 жыл бұрын

Hey there and thanks! No cemetery on the property. I am not sure if the original builders of the house had slaves for certain or not. I imagine, judging from the time period in which it was built and the obvious wealth in construction, that the original owner did own slave. But that is just an assumption. All I have ever heard about the brick buildings that stand are that they were servants quarters. Possibly one of them could have been a kitchen as well.

If I were affiliated or the Fire Chief, I would have to apply a standard inquire around "Insurance". This is routine in larger cities, but not in smaller communities.

I just find it so dd that a place on the Historic Register, didn't have a local Historic Committee to at least clear the debris and leave it with some respect. These are sad. Great Sites you find.

What a beautiful home style. When a home was wired with aluminum wiring, it was known lights would flicker,, outlets would feel warm, not to mention melting the insulation of the wires. The house would still be standing if they had paid the extra money for the copper wiring installed. Thank you for your reply on the style of the house. I always enjoy the adventures, and places that you travel. Keep up the awesome videos.

I love these kinds of videos. I wish it wasn’t necessary to keep locations private. I love to research these places, find out the history, learn about who lived there. It’s understandable that you want to avoid vandals, however, anyone who would want to do vandalism is most likely already aware of where this place is. That picture of the servant quarters, with the window looking out at the tree, is beautiful. There is a man who does explores and takes video as well as still photos and sells them. I have put in a request to my husband, to buy me one of his photos. I would love that window looking out over those trees, it’s similar to one my husband will buy me. ✌️

What an incredible house it must have been and amazing how nature has swallowed the place so nearly completely. I hope any efforts at development will be thwarted. Thank you for documenting the site and posting the video. Your video unfortunately may soon be all that remains, such is the fate of so many historic treasures. Could the front room of the second structure have been a summer kitchen? The fireplace is so massive for the size of the room and compared to the fireplaces on the other side of the building.

Sidestep Adventures Yep-I signed the petition. We had a slightly similar situation in my own neighborhood in Fairfax City, Virginia about 20 years ago when the last resident owner of Blenheim passed on. Historic Blenheim was used during the Civil War as both a Union and Confederate hospital-depending on which side occupied the City at the time-and has one of the finest collections of soldiers' graffiti known to remain. The house sits on about 12 acres and the question facing the citizens was what to do with the site-preserve part and allow development on the rest or preserve it all. So many people-me included-spoke before the town council, fighting for total preservation, that the City purchased the entire property and it has become a focus of research into the names found in the attic and on the walls of the house. It also hosts yearly re-enactments, in addition to being a wedding and event venue. It’s a real source of pride for the community. Unfortunately, I doubt the property you video-ed has a similar "hook" upon which to hang the banner of preservation but hopefully, enough people will rally around it to save it. Gardens could be recreated, studies could be done to illustrate how nature can reclaim a place and become a habitat for so many species of flora and fauna, the complete history could be documented and presented-the property could be used in a multitude of ways that would benefit the area residents. I hope it happens.

I agree with you on not giving out the locations. Unfortunately in these days and times you have to worry about thieves, vandals and graffiti. I would only give out the location to other youtube explorers who have shown that they too respect properties and the history of them and take nothing but videos and leave nothing but footprints. You're policy of keep locations secret is a good, sound decision! Have you ever explored any antebellum plantation homes that are abandoned? If those chimneys were on either end of the same house then that was a really big house! Was the original house all brick like the servants houses?
