Historical graveyards. Car tour of small towns. Your playback is best at 1080p or higher for these videos.
Exploring small towns in the Northeast United States, specifically New England, with all its rivers, lakes, coastlines, bridges, old buildings, old cemeteries, and wineries and breweries. Multiple car cams, plus GoPro for foot explorations.
Also, trails and state parks with my dog, with usually nothing but nature sounds, my footsteps, and the dog's breathing.

So many people in this cemetery were born in the 1600s, that I don't make special mention when their graves appear in the video. Quite a few people lived into their 80s, and a few into their 90s. And veterans of various wars were represented here, including: King Phillip's War, French-Indian War, Revolutionary War, War of 1812, and Civil War. The first lieutenant governor of Connecticut is buri...

So many in this cemetery born in the 1600s, and a few that came over on the Mayflower. Some of the more interesting stories emerging from these graves: A man likely born in Harwich, England in the 1590s, and came over on the Mayflower likely as a cooper. He died near 88 years old in Duxbury, MA, and may have been involved in a love triangle that included Myles Standish himself. The girl who dro...

Great history! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks, TS!

Such a cool vid! Very Mysterious!
Thank you, my friend!
@@TheSmallTownExlorer 🤗🤗🤗
Very beautiful tour of the cemetery. And awesome information, so, so much work went into this video! When my husband & I lived on the Goodspeed Landing, we built a "Snow-Witch" (like a regular snow-man) in this cemetery. It made the front page (photo & story) of the Hartford Courant newspaper!!! This is a very calming & peaceful cemetery...thank you for this cool video !!!
That's a cool story.
The music seems to add the perfect level of mystery and intrigue. Nicely done!
Thanks for that! I was a club DJ for over 20 years, so I take pride in the music I license for these videos to set the mood.
1st comment on a great video!! Such a relaxing experience!
Love me some TrailStrider! Thanks.
@@TheSmallTownExlorer 🤗🤗🤗
This cemetery may have the most graves of people born in the 1600s than any other cemetery I've been to so far.
Wow.....Graves of those who were born in 1600s.....amazing video...thank you again😊
Thanks, and you're quite welcome. Yeah, so many very old ones here.
Looks like an area i need to visit someday.......especially historical distruct......are you planning on any cemetery visits in the area?
Hey! Yeah, it's a nice area. I did do a cemetery in Newbury, MA, and another in Hampton, NH, which isn't too far from Newbury.
Nice!
Thanks.
Hey didn't know you were in RI. Never really seen it. Thanks for taking me there!
CORRECTION: I've been told that the rules used for this particular game were more like 1864, not 1894. Sorry about that.
I absolutely love the way you do the old cemeterys....taking your time to document the information for all to read and understand. You are by far the best i have watched ..... this cemetery was so interesting....i cant thank you enough....amazing how long people lived in 1600s and 1700s
You just made my day... and night. Thank you. I have a few more I've recorded that I hope you find interesting once I edit them down. It's time-consuming so please bear with me.
Enjoyed your video. I like these videos without the music and the talking, just natural surroundings.
They're some of my favorites to make... but sometimes I ruin it if my breathing gets too loud (very distracting), so I have to walk slower than I like most of the time.
Enjoyed the video! Thanks for the upload. Leaving a like and sub! Keep up the good work!
Thanks! Very kind!
@@TheSmallTownExlorer Anytime for a fellow explorer!

@@NanaAmySpectreSeeker1111 Ha!
My husband and i used to go to old time baseball games in Hobart indiana at Deep River Park. We would sit in lawn chairs enjoying the beautiful sunny days. They would sometimes offer hot dogs and a woman dressed in old time dress would come around offering a free homemade cooky. Very relaxing and enjoyable 😊
Sounds like a good time.
I certainly appreciate the time you take at each cemetery and each gravestone.......much appreciated
Good video, smooth camera work. Especially like the walking scenes. And yeah, "Waikiki" is a weird name for a beach in Massachusetts!
Well, thank you very much. Very appreciated. Working on a few more "Seaside Town" videos, as well as a few "Trails/Parks" and "Historic Cemeteries."
Where are those two boats, if I may ask?
Sure! It's from the USS Albacore Museum in Portsmouth, NH. I lifted the scene you watched from a longer form video I had made about Portsmouth, NH (really nice place to visit) that's also on my YT page. I didn't walk inside the building--I just shot footage of the two vessels outside (along with other footage from around town). They're even more impressive in person. Thanks for watching!
These nature sounds are making me sleepy
What drug are you on I lost a brain cell trying to read what the hell you wrote Drugs are bad for you lay off them
These people lived day today just like we do trying to survive I have more respect for the people back then because they had more respect for others
These people will live in it up I walk the graveyard down the street from my house and I pretty much know every gravestone 200 anyway
I find gravemarkers give so much insight into the individual ....whether rich or poor famous or not.....i can't help but wonder if those who were/are cremated...will their lives be remembered with the same detail as a gravestone gives? Thanks again for taking the time to do this for all of us
You're very welcome. And I will add that everything from the types of headstones, to epitaphs, to the style of lettering, and even sentence structure says a lot about villages and hamlets back then--they seem to copy each other. That creates almost a style or theme for a certain time period, in a certain cemetery, or corner of that cemetery. Or not.
Curious....will you be travelling to Pennsylvania? Or Maryland....love the revolutionary info and earlier grave markers....thank you....
Great question. Yes, those states as well as NY, NJ, and others are in my plans, but it's a matter of time and logistics. So many graves, so little time (that may be the first time that sentence has ever been uttered). PA and MD likely won't happen before 2025 if all goes right. Thank you for your interest.
Good shape, too!
I like the way you do your videos....thank you for the details of the tombstones.....if you ever run into any with the surname Gordon it would be much appreciared
I'll do my best regarding that name... you're the first to make such a request so you're obviously top of the list.
Love the inscriptions on these old stones in New England cemeteries.
No matter which state I've explored so far in New England, I can always count on inscriptions here and there that are either funny, deep, bleak, or even creepy.
My first STE video. Great scenery and great video quality! STE should explore the old cemetery on Green Hollow Road in Danielson.
I'm putting on my list, Mr. James Flynn. Thanks for the suggestion.

Great video, beautiful old New England tablet stones! God bless All Souls who are buried in your cemetery.
Love that area. When we were there the Mayflower was being refurbished. I was so bummed
It really is cool to see up close.
Apparently Sweet Evalina's stand is no more. New restaurant called Woodstock Trading Post (I think) is in its place. I haven't tried it yet. Anyone who has, do you recommend it?
That's absolutely beautiful, and the deep blue sky is breathtaking!
Very kind of you. Thank you.
What an amazing video. I am One of Your Fans.
Thank you for the kind words! Much appreciated, believe me. Let me know if you like any of the other videos on my channel. Cheers.
I enjoyed the realistic video.😎👍
Thanks. I'm going for realism with the walks more so than with my other videos. Tough, though, to cover up my heavy breathing which can get distracting. I've already had to cut some pretty decent footage because of heavy breathing. Hope you enjoy my future videos. Cheers!
@@TheSmallTownExlorer I'll always cheer for you. 🫶🫶🫶
Love the video! Great quality and an excellent representation of a lovely little (big) town
Wow... just realized my original comment to you was never published. Probably because my dumb-ass messed it up. So let me say now, three months after the fact... thank you! Thank you immensely. You were the first to ever comment on any of my videos and I hope not to forget that. Much appreciated! Cheers.
