Stunning Abandoned Grandmas Time Capsule House w/ Everything Left Behind up North in New York
Ойын-сауық
This beautiful old gothic revival farm house was built in the late 1800’s to early 1900’s. The house was built for a modest agrarian family, mostly farming corn and soybeans, owning large amounts of acres originally. Much of the original furniture still remains in the house among other antiques and some beautiful old architecture and unique woodwork. The farm remained in the same family for many generations until the final elderly couple passed away in the early 2000’s. Since then the house has been slowly crumbling away sitting idly like a time capsule as the world continues all around it. Very sad but incredible old place, so many things to love about it. Only wish it could be saved and restored. Thanks for watching. Like and leave a comment if you enjoyed! Thank you!

Oh my Kappy. This home makes me sad. All the sweet memories and items left behind. All the ladies treasures, just left and unappreciated. 😢. Thanks Kappy for saving her treasures for us to see and celebrate. You’re so kind sweet boy. Stay safe. ❤

I just want to say that I really think very highly of you that when you go on these explorers you are kind enough to free any trapped animals or birds that may be stuck in these homes. You are a good person we need more people like that. As an animal lover I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness -- ♥ 😊

Kappy, this one breaks my heart. I can almost feel the love that once existed here.
It’s so sad to see a person’s treasures and life just be forgotten. How family can just forget about a house they had great fun probably in. Thank you Kappy for keeping their memories alive for them and sharing with us! ❤

Wouldn’t miss a video!! Thank you for exploring and sharing with us. I am truly jealous of all you do!
What’s not to love about this place! And the stagers give us a glimpse of normality of living in the house-order out of chaos of piled furniture. The stuffed animals on the bed of the last bedroom are either stagers or just the way a child would have them arranged. Loved the wall colors and treatments. Thank you Kappy for another great tour!
I enjoy the old architecture. Thank you for emphasis on large hand hewn pegged beams to old hardware 😊
So sad Kappy...At one time, that was a very well kept much loved home. Thank you for showing us and bless the couple that most assuredly lived there happily, for many many years.
Thank you so much for showing the books!
It's a shame how we spend so much money on things that we don't need. Thank you for the video. I do appreciate it. 🌻 😊
Wow! There are some really cool antique pieces/furniture there. Great tour!! Thanks Kappy for adding to our Saturday!!!

Thanks Kappy so sad it's just left to rot. Cool old furniture. Makes you wonder what happened to the family.
You get the feeling the inhabitants left the house practically in the middle of a meal, never to return. What a mystery! Thanks Kappy, there's nothing I'd rather do this chilly Saturday afternoon than wander thru this old house with you.
I just got my coffee! What a great way to start the day!!! ☕️👍

Really makes you think about what will happen to all the stuff you keep… Thanks for documenting this house Kappy! Look forward to next weeks video!!! Stay safe
What a sweet old house. So many treasures. Does anyone ever save the antiques and the once treasured belongings I wonder. Makes me sad to see homes rotting away let alone all that remains within. You display such respect and sensitivity in your videos, thank you Kappy!
So much familiar decor in this home. It’s like strolling down memory lane. I wish someone would rescue this one. So sad. Thank you Kappy! Well done!
Oh my gosh....i agree...soo sad. Such beautiful furniture....going to waste. I sure like alot of stuff in that house...wish i could have. Thanks for a great find!!!
What a sweet house. Always sad to see them just left to decay. All the memories and happy times just left in the past. 😢
Thanks for thinking about the birds and helping them out Kappy!

My kind of style of house! Must’ve been a beauty when first built. All these memories left behind 😢. It goes to show ya that material items mean nothing when you die. Sounds like a bummer, but, at least it’s true.

what many today don't realize is much of that stuff they call 'hoarding' is a direct reflection of lives being lived. Childless houses will have less clutter, as many times the children leave their belongings behind with mum and dad when they set out upon the world. What people today call 'junk' left behind represents memories made. Young people have yet to live that part of life, as society teaches them to label things without context. That same society pressures young people to yearn for things that are beyond their financial means: a fancy car, bigger computer, better cell phone, new dress. As you say, material items mean nothing when you die, but in the old days, that 'junk' was a result of precious memories to the living. I guarantee you that lil' sign 'Bless this house.' meant a lot more when there was a human soul praying for it. Now, it awaits a new spirit, but it costs nothing and won't be repossessed.
The furniture...WOW!!!

Oftentimes, if the heirs don't have enough money to pay the taxes, utilities and the upkeep, they just let it go and life in some place more affordable.
Every time I see these houses you’ve toured I wish I could take a truck and load up the amazing pieces of furniture especially the Mid Century Modern pieces. I’ve seen some REALLY good pieces.
Thanks Kappy for showing us to 2 videos this week. The inside of the house looks much better than the outside. I wish you and your subscribers a safe and nice weekend.🎉

I do agree with you, quite a few of the rooms look staged. In the upstairs bedroom the briefcase just sitting open with the projector beside it and all the other furniture stacked on the other side of the room, definitely staged! The living room was really beautiful with the lace curtains blowing in the breeze, and that corner cabinet WOW! Great explore.
Great explore! So sad to see someone’s life , belongings & memories just left frozen in time !
It's makes me sad to see that no one claim it the house has lots large rooms it would make awesome christmas house great video kappy
Love it!
What pride G ma must've taken in that home. I can just see the g kids playing games out on the porch, G ma playing the piano...how sad that furniture, pictures, and belongings are just forgotten. Cool house! Thanks, Kappy!
Thank you!
Poor grandma, all her treasures going to waste, does she have relatives I wonder, thank you for sharing.😊😊
So sad to see a persons whole life still left to ruin. As usual the old piano left to ruin. It breaks my heart when I see that.
I know it’s been said thousands of times here, but it is so heartbreaking to see this old breathtakingly beauty disintegrate 😢 You can absolutely envision the people living in this one.
Such a sad display….looks like family rummaged through granny’s home and got what they wanted and left everything else behind to sit and rot with this once grand home. By the style of furniture looks like grandma might have been a young woman back in the 1930’s . And the newspaper tacked on walls going into the basement…was used as insulation then….and before…knew someone that was restoring a home and in tearing into the walls they found newspaper dating back to the 1910’s to 1920’s. They were able to save it and even framed what was found….a great conversation piece kept.
Typical that the original parts still looked great, but yet the additions were rotten and collapsing. I loved the furniture and the original woodwork. It looks to have been lived in until the mid 90s. My favorite room was the pink or peach bedroom. The old sleigh bed was beautiful. It looks like they stopped going upstairs and just lived downstairs. Thank you for another great explore
8:52 Love how closely those vanities match. Those mirrors being contoured are worth a lot of money.
Thank you
The house is waiting for someone to come home. But nobody is coming.
Holy crap new York geeez nice little place..
I really loved this one. It's one of the few you've shown that I can see people, even myself, living in happily. For some reason the signs of decay couldn't detract from that. Possibly because of all the natural light, which I love. It was a real relief that there was not a smidgen of graffiti. Thanks Kappy!
Beautiful nice sunny place.
What an interesting house! There were some nice pieces. All those wooden chairs and that single bed upstairs prob my favorites. There were several pieces of handmade needlework. 50s to 70s maybe. Signs of late 80s and early 90s deccor (the ivy and some pink and blue). Many years represented by all those thing left behind. And the wedding photo. 30s? 40s? Oh, and the wallpaper. What a treat. Thanks so much for sharing. Enjoyed this one very much. ❤

Hi how sad everything left behind all the memories 😢 😞
What a charming abode! Even in its decrepit state, it still exudes the warmth and welcome that was once backed up by good human souls. From the pile of crocheted doilies, framed needlepoint, lace curtains, antique ornate chair, it retains the easy-going, industrious, creative energy of the good old days, as even the stray house wren still benefits from the security of its bright, protective walls. And those books! TY for giving us a good scan of those titles! The Story of the Old Homestead/Knox was from 1937 (and I don't suppose there were very many printings after that, given how specialized was the content!) With the dedication reading "To the descendants of John Smith of Smithfield, born in Norfolk England, in 1623, who bought the old homestead plantation, in 1682; and his son, Samuel, born in Nottinghamshire, England, in 1664, who first cultivated its soil, this story is sincerely dedicated." The background and story of the Smith-Hackett Homestead in NJ follows. Oh! That would be a star in any family library! Then, the 'old book' upstairs "Uncle Austin and his Nephews or The Scripture Guide. Being a familiar introduction to the study of the Bible." 'entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1838, by Paul Heck, Jr, Treasurer in trust for American Sunday School Union, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.' (Makes me wonder if that antique chair was inherited from very old Dutch/early American ancestors!) Really, it's so sad to think these treasures are simply waiting to turn to dust. I realize, to many, those are just dumb books but I know, for a fact, they were published in a time BEFORE editors decided what authors would write, and therefore what publishing companies would print; back when authors and their originality were published according to their marketability and considered the experts of their own writings, whereas, today, what publishing companies vomit out(usually owned by the Globalists) is trite, produced from templates and without much originality (even if the pictures are pretty, it's dumbing you all down!). These were the kind of books that informed (which is so early last century)! All those abandoned games are remnants and reminders (how we wore out our Parchessi and chess boards!) of how we once spent hours of entertainment, before the TV took over our minds (or you were only allowed an hour of TV a day), back in the day (long before computers or cell phones), when people interacted with one another. Playing the phonograph or the piano (nice birdcage, upright in that house!) was the music of life! Can you see family members lining up at the door of that single bathroom downstairs of a busy morning?! Oh, so many beautiful memories contained in that humble abode. TY for a lovely tour, Kappy! You film so carefully, it's easy on the eyes and makes every shot a gift. TY so very much!
The photographers pay allot of attention to detail it Amazing I think its ready for a match lol Good vid thanks..:)

All those antique sofas look soooo comfy! And I can imagine taking a long mid day siesta in that sun room. I think I will go take a nap now. Thanks Kappy!
Thank you for taking us along! The ivy painted along the wall was so pretty and the old furniture was still in good shape. Know the blue pitcher was a depression piece. It sits lopsided. The table looked like grandma was waiting on company. It’s sad but beautiful at same time. Don’t know how you travel all around and find such beautiful places. As always stay safe out there.
Thank you for sharing another one of your great videos as always i really admire watching them 😊 take care 😉
Couldn't miss that old bedpan in the corner of that bedroom. lol
Thanks Kappy! The yellow room was really surreal for me, as my mom had a room decorated in the same way back in the 1990's, same color and decor!
At one time the lady of the house was very organized with a place for everything and everything in it's place you can see from her "good dinnerware" all organized and ready to pull out. Sadly they probably either outlived any children they had or never had children as me and my husband did... I am slowly getting rid of things in my house that are no longer useful to make it easier for my dear young friend who will inherit my home when I am gone.. younger generation does not appreciate vintage items.

Omg,the little enamel ware dresser.So sad.Houses slowly die when empty.Could be lived in with a some repairs.New houses will never last this long.Thank you for sharing with us
I love old farmhouses. But I'm too old and so is this house. It won't be me trying to save it. Seeing that table set and undisturbed is rather spooky. That sun room was originally was a porch. I'd love to have those candle holders. Thanks for the tour.
Thank you Kappy, nice tour. What a lovely old place.
Nice old house.
Definitely a beautiful time capsule
Tons of good stuff needs to be rescued before it's gone forever
I could smell the musty goodness of the last upstairs room 😊
The house 🏠 is still like it was lived in and in decent shape (except some mold and clean up)😊 Hope someone could buy it
Definitely one of my faves.
So much cool stuff just sitting rotting away. Someone needs to call Goodwill and try to save some of it. What a great explore Kappy!
Great explore, love the wall paper and apparently so did they it was every where. Have a great day and safe travels
❤ still standing proudly so beautiful .
This was obviously a well loved home and must have been so lovely at one time. Really interesting with some beautiful old furniture, enjoyable to see. Thanks Kappy, another great find❤
This house seems so strange … most of the rooms look untouched like they went out for ice cream and never came back!!!!! Even the bird didn’t make a mess !!! It would be nice to know what happened to this family!!!! Thanks Kappy for another great video!!!!

Long ago memories, time March's on. We really appreciate when your wonderful videos are long. Longer video makes us feel like we are there. 🤎👍 Great job!!
Such a wonderful place yet it's so sad that it was abandoned. Indeed it's filled with many antiques that could bring in some money. Still, I always wonder why? Did they have children that wanted nothing to do with the house? If so, why? Did they have other family members, or was it a couple that had no children? This is really a wonderful place and back in its day it was marvelous. That corner cabinet you like is almost identical to one I used to have. It's definitely a wonderful piece of furniture. I'm always happy to see a piano. I come from generations of musicians and I've passed it on to my children. Such a wonderful place and I really appreciate it. Thanks for another great adventure Kappy. I can't wait for the next one. May God grant you peace and safety wherever your adventures take you. 🤠👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for showing us this lovely home! I enjoy your style of exploring ~ very laid back and respectful. I hope the lost homeowner knows how much we appreciate getting a glimpse of their beautiful past surroundings.🌹
So many cool things that I would love to have! Interesting place! Thank you!
What I really like about this explore is that you didn't open the dresser drawers and rummage through their belongings. Also you didn't show closes up of personal pictures and letters. Thanks for a great explore. I was surprised that there was no bathroom upstairs.
I always am amazed at how so many of these homes have the gratuitous piano left in the house.
So sad to see Grandma’s home & belongs left behind! Cool video bro! ❤️💪🤘
Awww.... someone has rummaged through it. House full of life and memories and no one to take care of it now.
From the outside, this place looks like you could walk in and start life. It's a shame no one came to collect at least the furniture. So many gorgeous pieces that could still be saved. The wooden dressers, with the "dove tail" drawers, they were made to last. (Nothing like the Ikea products of today.) This poor old place will eventually fall in on itself. I did see one push button light switch. 😊 Wonderful place Mr Kappy. Thanks for taking me along! 😊😊😊

This place is great. Nothing creepy about any of it.
Ah jeez, I think this house was a nice, comfortable home when it's people were still alive. Now its been rummaged through and it's rotting due to the lack of roofing. I liked that odd storage room, would have been fun to have as a usable space. Thanks, Kappy
The house is great. I do hope someone is able to save the rugs, glassware, pictures, etc., and all of that incredible furniture. The stuff in the house is almost better than the house itself.
