Backyard History
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 22 ส.ค. 2023
We explore both remembered & forgotten history: cemeteries, old home sites, historical sites & everything else in between.
We also love to research the lives of people buried in local cemeteries. We have a playlist called "Headstone History" where you can check out these stories.
We feel that there is so much history, some of it forgotten, close to our own backyard!
We are also very interested in your comments, so please share insights & ideas that you have about our videos.
We will be posting frequently, so if you enjoy our content, please like, share & subscribe!

I got a chance to go in 1984. Back then they had people living in that time, working and eating, telling us storys. Saying our clothes looked strange. It was truly a special experience for me.

Thanks for sharing. Remembering my Hoosier, covered bridge loving dad. He was born in Terre Haute, Vigo County, IN. He taught me the love of covered bridges. I visited this bridge, but before it was restored. Thanks again, for sharing your video. I'll bet my dad is smiling from Heaven.
Thank you so much for your comment. I'm so glad this video made you think about your Dad. Teaching you to love covered bridges was a great thing. It's amazing how the love of History can connect us to the ones we love. Thank you again!!
