  • When planning to explore an abandoned mill, we had no idea that we would find a deserted town hidden in the forest, with most of the belongings left behind. But why did they leave?

    This deserted ghost town and mill have a very interesting past. When we arrived we were’t expecting to find so much left behind. What a discovery!

      🔺(includes 1985 details below):
      I might suggest, when a community is abandoned, leaving behind personal items, there's far greater potential that the reasons might be more akin to "health hazards", rather than the local mine closing.
      Use caution, research first, and know, the state/county/city, overwhelmingly are not eager to admit the greater facts.
      🔺 A few 1985-86 Facts: 🔺

    It's heartbreaking to see the possessions left behind. It makes me wonder what kind of situation was causing so much distress. I was forced out of my last apartment complex, as a private equity firm bought it and forced all the renters out. I lost a lot of my things, but at least one family with children were locked out, being forced to leave everything they owned. I can't get over how many apartment complexes require a credit check, even complexes that take Section 8, do this. People are low income don't have credit cards, that's the biggest reason their credit rating is so low. They need renter history, not credit checks!

    First time I've encountered this channel and I really liked the video. I appreciate hearing about the place's history--it really orients the site in place and time. I could just imagine it in the early days, the types of cars they would have driven, the types of dresses the receptionist in the office would have worn. I also like the personalities of the presenters--relaxed, friendly, relatable.

    I liked that town. Was that by the lumber mill? I had a temporary space out from town to lumberyard. We had that pine paneling in the house i grew up in. My dad built it. They quit making that paneling right after he built it. 1954 an 1955. I went to that house before it got torn down an took all the paneling. An a 6 by 6 bookshelf he made that was on one wall. Came home an clipped all that paneling back together an put the bookshelf there an it was my old living wall in my house now. It's beautiful wood. Thanks guys. Great finds. Loved it.

    • @PinInTheAtlas
      @PinInTheAtlas  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Hi Steve and Andrea - amazing place, I can't remember when I have seen so much junk and rubbish. But it is so sad when so many very personal items are just abandoned - like someone's exam results. I imagine the community was deserted when the source of employment finished; why would they stay in the back of beyond if there was no source of income? I guess that there were far fewer trees 40 or so years ago. All but the biggest trees would have grown from seed in the intervening years.

    Sasquatch (or Sabe) as First Nations call them in North America, can leave a nasty smell - not unlike rotting meat, fish, garbage and such.

    1920s proved to be a golden age for the company. Cheney Brothers was the only factory in the world carrying silk all the way from its raw form to a finished product, and employment rolls peaked at well over 4,500 workers-a figure that represented more than 25% of the population of Manchester. Factory property encompassed more than 175 acres and in 1923, Cheney recorded a record profit of $23 million.

    Interesting explore as usual, but probably not the best video to watch during lunch! lol I think the main purpose of your church/community building was that of a school. You could see where the blackboards had been removed from the walls. It was common for schools in small communities to serve as community buildings and churches as well. Jars have many uses and some types of what we consider disposable jars today were reused to store canned foods. I think during the pre1960s ... folks were far more "green" than those folks pretending to be "green" today!

    The Cheney Stud brand of a stud horse imprinted on the ends and faces of Cheney Studs was
    recognized throughout the industry as a sign of top quality. The application of a check resistant,
    red-colored wax base paint to the end of the studs was originated by the Cheney Lumber
    Company, and for many years their product was the only one so identified. Saw-milling at this location began in 1930 when Harry Horr relocated his sawmill to here from Cayton Valley. The sawmill was taken over by the Cheney-Grant Lumber Company in the 1940's. The sawmill remained active until 1978 or 1979, when it was purchased by Louisiana Pacific and closed. Mr. Cheney died on March 18, 1971
