The last house in the video is in Page county Va. My Aunt and Uncle lived there in 1964 and stayed for 9 years, having 3 children there. There use to be an apple tree to the left of the front porch and an opening to the cellar under the house. My Aunt says the cellar had rattle snakes years ago. The largest snake she had seen there at the house was a timber rattler. It was as thick as her arm and 9 feet long. In the upstairs bedrooms, they plastered over the holes in the walls with pre-colored plaster, green in one room and pink in the other. An adapter with a plug was connected to the front porch light and the washer was connected to that plug and the laundry was done there on the porch with a ringer washer. My Aunt use to dry clothes and baby diapers on the railing you see at the top of the steps. A cookstove, one that used wood as a fuel for cooking, was in the kitchen and in the room with the paneling (which my uncle had put on the walls), the living room, was an oil burner. There were wonderful Christmases spent there, warm and fun with a real tree that had Christmas bulbs with scenes on them that were lit. A hand pump was in the kitchen and an outdoor pump was above the cistern. Despite the condition now, it was a wonderful starter home for a new family. Thank you for posting this, it brought back alot of fond memories for my Mom and Aunt. Page County Virginia was and remains a wonderful place to live.
jennifer atkins Ironically I was married in Page County Virginia . My parents got the Mimslyn Hotel for our stay and reception. 12 years later I had a baby girl and named her Paige , ( though it’s spelled different ) I thought it was quite ironic about that when we were looking through some of our things and noticing we were married in Page Co. Virginia. That house is really pretty. I would’ve loved a place like that, since I love old houses.
Three buildings and not a bathroom in sight. No kitchens except what was left in that one. My dad said they used old newspapers on the walls as insulation when he was a child. The log one is historically significant as an example of how poorer folks lived. So few of these houses last very long. Lots of pink and green. And rustic trim. Enjoyed seeing these very much. Thanks for sharing. ❤️
Thanks my friend Kappy for sharing with me this video about the old Abandoned general store/ house & log cabin down southit was very interesting to see this video and thank you for sharing it with me and God Bless you my friend and i can't wait to see your next video and thanks again.
Oh my goodness! All the OLD newspapers on the upstairs walls are priceless. Newspaper was used for insulation back in the day. I would’ve loved to have seen some of the dates/adds on the papers. Would’ve loved to have seen the last home renovated, it looks huge and could’ve been beautiful. Thanks for sharing your finds Kappy! You’re the best TH-cam explorer ever! Can’t wait for the next amazing find. Wishing you a very blessed and wonderful day!😊
@@melissaboggs5889 it's still pretty sad when you have to use newspaper and cardboard (did you see the cardboard?) for insulation. I think it was common in the 1930s but those were newer so I'm guessing old habits died hard.
@@amberdawn2601 don't think they had regular installation back then. Parents house built in 1929 had old newspapers rolled up around inside the windows.
Thanks for posting this. It takes me back. When I was a little girl we had a real general store across the road and RR tracks. He was a butcher so they sold everything from fresh meats, sausages, bologna, to fabric and sewing notions.
It’s was so great to see the store. I only live 20 minutes from there and have driven past it my whole life. I have stopped there many times before and often wondered what it looked like upstairs on the inside. I always thought I would be trespassing if I went in. It sure was great to see this.😃
Woohoo! Another excellent video kappy! I'd love to have the old general store to restore. Also the log home, such a waste, people would rather have a cookie cutter house now days.
I love this, I remember country stores. I was born & raised in rural Kentucky & there was a couple around us. One was in walking distance, but LONG walking distance..lol I couldn't walk it now, I'm 67 & really not a big fan of walking anymore..lol Thanks for sharing this.
Perhaps the syrup smell in the third house was honeybees in the walls. I experienced that in a 1700's house l once had in W. Va. Love your explores. Thank you.
That general store was interesting, the upstairs was the area where they lived. Many people in the those days lived above their stores. That log cabin I would have been reading some of the newspapers on the wall. My husband and I came across an old log cabin when we were walking in some woods near his parents farm, we spent an hour just reading the old newspapers that were plastered to the walls from the early 1900's. As always be careful and be safe see you next time.
Nice video, as always, Kappy. A peek at the old newspapers on the walls including ads would of been interesting. I guess I'm a floor lover, too, no matter how decayed.
I'm not sure it was a pet store. What I think it was a combo country grocery store and feed and fuel. Them cabinets you seen probably had baby chicks in them. Thank you for the video Kappy.
Kappy great video.... one thing springs to mind....( "squeal like a pig boy ").... these old abandoned homesteads from 1800s...1900s.... just reeks Deliverance .... ( when ever you take us on a conducted tour... your voice sets the tone for our imagination to run wild man.... to be a fly on the wall... Thanks Kappy ........Ed from Sierra Vista AZ
I miss the privately owned neighborhood drugstores and little general stores they had when I was a kid. I'm 55 yrs old and you just don't see those anymore. I live in Birmingham, I lived in Eastlake and went to Robinson school a half block away and alleys drugstore was 2 blocks over on 1st ave no. On 2nd ave so was T&R snack shop next to a beauty shop and Brights health foods
@Snake head I’m your age and I miss them too! The soda fountains, penny candy, little novelty toys, and just the smell when you walked in and heard the bell ring on the door! ☺️
I know. I miss the old mom and pop General stores. I'm 65 and when the malls and especially Walmart and Kmart came in, all those stores eventually disappeared. Sad
How about "egg a day" on 77th street. East Lake Auto Parts on 80th street? College Theater on 1st Ave north? Wow you brought back some memories, I'm 67 and went to Curry elem. And Woodlawn h.s.
@@donniebrown2896 I remember egg a day, I loved those barbeque sandwiches they had, my dad used to bring those home in a white foil lined bag and the sandwiches were individually wrapped in wax paper. The potato wedges were to die for too
I love the general store. Such a great find. It was strange that there were no stairs to the top floor in the store. You do such an extraordinary job with your videos. Thank you Sweetie ♡♡
Love, love, love the old store!!!!! Was there anything else around it? Otherwise, funny how it would be just sitting out there...the reason there is no stair case to the upstairs on the inside is the upper rooms were most likely used as rentals. In the store if you noticed the beams and cross wood in the center, one side was for grocery and hardware with the other side being for household goods and such. I worked in a store similar to that (not quite as old, but same concept), gotta love these small towns!!! The other 2 houses were pretty cool as well and did anyone notice the color of the bedrooms???? PINK!!!
@@Slayerjane61 They didn't have WiFi either. Horrors! Just kidding. Seeing homes like this make us appreciate what we have today. In the future people will look at the ruins of out homes and say the same thing you did.
The second house was almost torn down to put a new road in! The owner is in her 80s and lives nearby, be careful as she doesn’t like people going onto the property. At one point they considered remodeling the house but the land wouldn’t perk and there was several other problems. Would love to see it fixed up but I doubt that will ever happen.
The log cabin with its newspaper insulation was cool! It had no bathroom nor was it wired anywhere for electricity so it had been abandoned for a while.
These homes should be in a time capsule, to be preserved. They are so beautiful. The log home reminded me of the little “ apartment “ ( that was an original farmhouse from the late 1800’s / early 1900’s ) we lived in. Came with a rundown old barn as well ( before it was torn down, our neighbor salvaged a door from inside of it , and it had German writing on it. ). The timber under the siding caught my eye, ( after a storm we needed to assess damages , and I noticed it . A little siding came up and I saw the original timbers of the house. It was a cool feeling. ) Our basement was stone in the front and original dirt earth in the back , and it would collect water occasionally. ) I think most homes like that , around the same time frame, look a lot alike, I guess .
All of these homes had their good points . That one house with those upper balconies wow must of been a nice view and the third home a log cabin wow . All these homes could be restored but it needs to happen now before nature has it’s way to much more . Guess I’m a bit of a romantic how cool it would be to have a home with a wood heater or fireplace in each room . All loved homes , all have many memories locked inside of days gone by and the family/families who have lived ,and had many especially occasions and celebrating wakes mothers who nursed children and then saw them off as adults
Love the old general store, I can watch this video and my imagination can take me there back in the day when it was open for business. Every time I see old structures I just look at all the stuff i could repurpose for today.
Funny, I saw the Coke cooler in the general store and immediately thought of that kid Gordie in the flick Stand By Me buying Coke and stuff for his gang of misfits. Great vid - thanks for sharing a slice of history south of the Border!
That general store reminds me of episodes of Dr Mike, medicine woman and the Waltons. Great explore, loved the vibrant colors in the house. Shame this type history is being ignored disappearing.
Hi Kappy.. Such a cool video! You find the best places to explore... Tell me any history on this store/house from long ago..as to how long it's been boarded up and when the last family lived there ?
I used to live in houses like this when I was young, because we usually had to rent until I was older. I can remember my dad who was fairly tall always had to duck under the door and I can remember several other people that did the same thing. I don't know whether we've just gotten taller or they were saving on wood and labor!
Cool old general store. That upgraded log cabin home was probably still standing because they put a metal roof on it, those last forever. Never seen newspaper used as wallpaper before, guess it kept the drafts out?
General store was neat! Could easily be saved I would think..... log cabin house was great they were probably poor and used old newspapers as wallpaper and insulation (you’d be surprised how much newspaper blocks out) that last house was different gotta weird vibe as you walked through like you weren’t alone ya know.... and the maple syrup smell I don’t think the former tenet has moved on 😆
It would be so interesting to see how the products changed through the years that the store was open. I wonder how many people lived in this place through the years.
My grandpa had a little grocery store in Indianapolis Indiana and I can remember going there was a small girl and getting penny candy and him and my grandma always lived upstairs above it
Did some checking in regard to the 3rd house on your vido.. and the insulation they used on the interior by the name of celotex was a company that's been around since 1921 home spot great britian.. they filed for bankruptcy in Oct of 1990 due to many asbestos lawsuits.... I read online though they are still around presently but there products have been updated... :-)
Its funny the things that people without much cash would use to insulate those old log cabins. I have a friend who tore down her plywood cabin walls to insulate and put up drywall. She found several old valuable comics stuffed between the cabin and inside wall. Also horse hair, newspaper, old clothing,sawdust....
I can picture old men sitting at the bench in front of the store drinking an RC cola, whittling and shooting the breeze. Back when America was still America....
Bet you picture a White old man... America is still America. It's just that women aren't confined to the kitchen, Blacks to the back of the bus, and gay folk to the closet. And religious superstition now's questioned.
@@gordon3186 Thank You!!! People (white people, and yes indeed my race) pine for a past that only worked out well for them. If people remembered to tack on the words "if you were white" or "unless you were black/a minority" to the end of every careless statement like this I believe they would be either better thought out or skipped all together. It works for Everything when referring to the Good Ole Days. Black folks were still being lynched into the 80's in the deepest, most secretively corrupt areas of the South. No, "Those were different times." bullshit to wash over it with. The "America" being "America" was revolutionized by people like JP Morgan who along with his other corrupt cronies in power, convinced Americans we needed to be part of the war then had a hand in extending it so that he could sell the War Bonds he invented. The American Industrial Revolution in which the good ole American Dream was based off of was corrupted before the term 'Industrial Revolution' could even be coined. Rockefeller invested-not first in oil-but in thugs and strong arm bullies to threaten the lives of anyone who dared chase the same dream he had. He paid off railroads to refuse service for Any reason to those who stood up to him. Every detail in the act of extracting oil-from the barrels it was collected in to the machenery used to extract it from the earth was bribed out of reach until eventually Rockefeller had monopolized the entire business in this country. He then delegated new company locations around the country which were operated by men he'd hired. Eventually the people caught wind and a literal angry mob set out to hunt him down. According to the way the "unbiased" History Chanel tells it, poor Rockefeller and his family were forced to lock themselves away in their sprawling upstate NY estate. Aaaawww... But then good ole John Rockefeller set out to bribe his way out of it. He "gifted" hospitals, museums, schools etc. and of course the magnificent self-titled Rockefeller Center in NYC. All paid for with money he stole from his fellow Americans, along with all of their dreams. After the war our government got together with William Levitt's dream of creating the first suburbs. These were whites-only by American government law, designed to reward citizens [if you're white] after the long and hard work they did for the war. Plenty of other races fought for our country but these were not part of their version of the 'Dream. You see where this is going? Well, we've come full circle with ole John Rockefeller's self-serving morality. No longer does "if you're white/unless you're black" apply. Now Everyone is eligible for screwing over. The only ones who count are those who can afford the greatest credit debt and those who own that debt. Everyone else is just wasting space. Don't worry, though. This is a global epidemic, not just the American Way.
@@combatgirl38 Jeeze! Angry much? You must not have made it very far in life. If you work hard maybe you would enjoy some of that wealth you are so against.
0:30 I’ve said it on other videos with old places left to decay that it really just breaks my heart to see them go to waste. The firm architecture and history ignored and not appreciated.
Oh my heavens!! Kappy are you sure you are showing us the correct video? I see a lot of trash but that could happen, what I’m not saying is the graffiti on the walls! How refreshing!!
Should have showed more of the old newspapers images of items of the stuff for sale with the camera close enough for us to read each one but you did an excellent job anyway
Hi, what on earth was that on the floor by that chair at 2:35 ???. The general store was pretty cool although I don't think the display was for pets as 1, they could get out of the cat flap design and 2 they wouldn't have been able to breathe. The cabin was built after the 1900's I would say as there were round nails not square in the beams also it had electric but still a very cool old place. Thanks for sharing. x
@@cynthiahansen9902 I know right, it looks like a small human if you ask me or a raccoon flat on it's back lol, I can't make it out. It definitely looks strange though. x
Hey kappy, you didn't focus in on the horse rbbons! (Approx 3 minutes 20 seconds in.) It would have been cool to see which events the equestrian in the family competed in! Bummer.😕

General store is cool, but I have no idea why those things that look like animal crates are. But that open well can be a death trap. Good finds Kappy
First house I bet they rented out the rooms after a while. Low ceilings doorway definitely an old homestead. Thanks for sharing

She found several old valuable comics stuffed between the cabin and inside wall. Also horse hair, newspaper, old clothing,sawdust....
I can picture old men sitting at the bench in front of the store drinking an RC cola, whittling and shooting the breeze. Back when America was still America....
Reese......."Back when America was still America"......soooooo true
True.
Bet you picture a White old man... America is still America. It's just that women aren't confined to the kitchen, Blacks to the back of the bus, and gay folk to the closet. And religious superstition now's questioned.
@@gordon3186 Thank You!!! People (white people, and yes indeed my race) pine for a past that only worked out well for them. If people remembered to tack on the words "if you were white" or "unless you were black/a minority" to the end of every careless statement like this I believe they would be either better thought out or skipped all together. It works for Everything when referring to the Good Ole Days. Black folks were still being lynched into the 80's in the deepest, most secretively corrupt areas of the South. No, "Those were different times." bullshit to wash over it with.
The "America" being "America" was revolutionized by people like JP Morgan who along with his other corrupt cronies in power, convinced Americans we needed to be part of the war then had a hand in extending it so that he could sell the War Bonds he invented.
The American Industrial Revolution in which the good ole American Dream was based off of was corrupted before the term 'Industrial Revolution' could even be coined. Rockefeller invested-not first in oil-but in thugs and strong arm bullies to threaten the lives of anyone who dared chase the same dream he had. He paid off railroads to refuse service for Any reason to those who stood up to him. Every detail in the act of extracting oil-from the barrels it was collected in to the machenery used to extract it from the earth was bribed out of reach until eventually Rockefeller had monopolized the entire business in this country. He then delegated new company locations around the country which were operated by men he'd hired. Eventually the people caught wind and a literal angry mob set out to hunt him down. According to the way the "unbiased" History Chanel tells it, poor Rockefeller and his family were forced to lock themselves away in their sprawling upstate NY estate. Aaaawww... But then good ole John Rockefeller set out to bribe his way out of it. He "gifted" hospitals, museums, schools etc. and of course the magnificent self-titled Rockefeller Center in NYC. All paid for with money he stole from his fellow Americans, along with all of their dreams.
After the war our government got together with William Levitt's dream of creating the first suburbs. These were whites-only by American government law, designed to reward citizens [if you're white] after the long and hard work they did for the war. Plenty of other races fought for our country but these were not part of their version of the 'Dream. You see where this is going?
Well, we've come full circle with ole John Rockefeller's self-serving morality. No longer does "if you're white/unless you're black" apply. Now Everyone is eligible for screwing over. The only ones who count are those who can afford the greatest credit debt and those who own that debt. Everyone else is just wasting space.
Don't worry, though. This is a global epidemic, not just the American Way.
@@combatgirl38 Jeeze! Angry much? You must not have made it very far in life. If you work hard maybe you would enjoy some of that wealth you are so against.
I love the shelving.
In the south they used newspapers as wallpaper to insulate old houses!
The more ink the better the insulation, my grandma said.
@Connie Miner
I’ve seen them use old movie posters from theaters for insulation as well!!
Tara that would be cool!
Connie, they were very cool! And they were in perfect condition every time. The colors hadn’t even faded, since they had been covered up!
One thing I can say for videos of abandoned places. They're motivation to go through your own place to declutter.
Kappy, u over done ur self again!! Watch ur step. Thanks🆒😉
You find some pretty interesting places!
I always picture how it was when people lived there, I bet it was awesome!
My aunt and uncle lived in the third place in the late 60s early 70’s probably and the second place is next door to my cousin. My home ❤️
Wow would love to know any extra history or anything on the log cabin house! Very cool! Thanks for watching
0:30 I’ve said it on other videos with old places left to decay that it really just breaks my heart to see them go to waste. The firm architecture and history ignored and not appreciated.
Forgot to ask in my previous comment below... please tell me what town down south these places were filmed ?
I loved the Coca-Cola cooler at the old store. I am surprised it was still there.
Awesome place needs to be saved
The first 2 places were very nice.
Great places 👍🙋👍🌟🌟🧚🕊️🧜
Love that old Coca Cola fridge
Interesting places thankyou.
That place is in good shape
What were the dates on the newspapers that were plastered on the walls in the log cabin would have been cool to have read some of them
Wow again! Where is this?
Oh my heavens!! Kappy are you sure you are showing us the correct video? I see a lot of trash but that could happen, what I’m not saying is the graffiti on the walls! How refreshing!!
Should have showed more of the old newspapers images of items of the stuff for sale with the camera close enough for us to read each one but you did an excellent job anyway
Beautiful and depressing at the same time
That old Coca Cola refrigerator is worth some money for sure. Held old style bottles
What date was on the newspapers? Looks like 50s advertising.
Or 30s. Everything comes back around...and some fonts used pre-war were used post-war.
Does the soda reach-in cooler still run?
Hi, what on earth was that on the floor by that chair at 2:35 ???. The general store was pretty cool although I don't think the display was for pets as 1, they could get out of the cat flap design and 2 they wouldn't have been able to breathe. The cabin was built after the 1900's I would say as there were round nails not square in the beams also it had electric but still a very cool old place. Thanks for sharing. x
Sue Girling Does that thing have hands? Hard to make out.
@@cynthiahansen9902 I know right, it looks like a small human if you ask me or a raccoon flat on it's back lol, I can't make it out. It definitely looks strange though. x
@@SueGirling68 I thought human too but didn't want to say lol Did you check out 5:45? The womans voice.
@@cynthiahansen9902 No ??, I will have to go back and listen, thank you.
@@cynthiahansen9902 I wonder if it was someone with him as it sounded very loud, I couldn't make out what she said, it sounded like "How" or "Hal".
Hey kappy, you didn't focus in on the horse rbbons! (Approx 3 minutes 20 seconds in.) It would have been cool to see which events the equestrian in the family competed in! Bummer.😕
Wish you gave the dates on the old newspapers on the walls.
If I'm correct, the general store is in Jerome. If it's the one we looked at to purchase, to the right of the front were some small motel cottages.
Love video
Hinged windows and pushdown door handles, and these buildings could be just as well somewhere around in Finland.
Where is the old cabin house with the red tin roof located?
So cool!
