In this episode of Back When Stories, Appalachian Memory Keepers (appalachianmemorykeepers.org ) visits Wilkes County's (NC) iconic Palmer Home. Sitting in a pasture at the base of the mountain on Hwy 16, it has been a great source of wonder for people headed to the mountains for multiple generations.
We interview the granddaughter of the man who built the home to get the REAL story of the home and it's history! Enjoy!

I love this house! I would live there if it was fixed up to its original state! What great memories.
I love your stories!! I can remember going by the Palmer House & often wonder who had lived there. I'm so happy to learn who they were & so happy to know someone remembers & has such fond memories of there as I do my memories of my grandparents home place (Isaac Johnson Place) you shared with my sister Dare Couch. Thank you for all you do in sharing these beautiful homes..
Glad you enjoy them Mary!
Beautiful home and Shirley is right about things being so different today. The biggest one for me is the lack of family togetherness and most of all sitting down to eat together. Talking about your day and the days ahead, just being together at least at supper hour to marvel over your mom's cooking and even cleaning up afterwards. I miss how connected families and relatives were back then. My motto. ❤LIVE SIMPLY SO OTHER'S MAY SIMPLY LIVE.❤
I feel sadness watching this video,the house still looks not that bad inside.love the wood walls.
I would love to restore it if I had the money. Its beautiful inside and out.
Thank you for sharing your memories. My grandmother was so special to me, I love to hear of your love for yours
Another nice story here! Just a beautiful old house in an even more beautiful setting. Glad she got to see her grandparents old house again. Hope that young man is successful in getting it restored!
I lived in Wilkesboro for a long time, remember passing this house going up the mountain,now I know it's story!!
I've loved seeing that house since I was a very little girl. Thank you for the opportunity to see and learn about it.
What WONDERFUL MEMORIES ! BLESSINGS to you all !!! ❤
such a beautifully made house. it's so sad that it is being allowed to go to rot.
What a beautiful home! The the wood interior and wrap around porch. I lived in a home in Romney Wv built in the 30’s in the same time frame when this house was built growing up. When she says she remembers the smells of the home I understand and totally recall the smell of the wood in our house. I can close my eyes right now and that scent immediately comes back to me. What beautiful memories.
Great episode. I have fond memories of driving by this house on the way to my grandparent's mountain cabin. I always wanted to know the history of this house, so thank you for bring back a cherished memory from my childhood.
You are very welcome David. Glad you enjoyed it! You can follow our current work at facebook.com/appalachianmemorykeepers

I love this house 🏠and land it stands on. Every time I pass by this beautiful house of the old days and tears 😢 come to my eyes and I wish that it would be restored and not rot down . My Children had for their teacher in Elementary school Shirley DEAL a very good teacher . This house needs alot of restored love to make it a home again . What beautiful sense to behold in WilkesCounty HOPE and Pray 🙏 it can be restored with alot of help to make it come true .

I love that place i live in Wilbar that place is beautiful and I love seeing it very time I go up and down that mountain I don't drive I'm to younge and think that is so sad that cruel people would break into it its just so beautiful and I'd hate to not see it there every time I go up and down the mountain hope it gets fixed up so it can stay there for ever💖💖💖💖
These are wonderful, please keep them coming! Also, was this house (or the log cabin/house built before it) around in the 1880's-1890's or so?
Not sure about the original cabin. I am guessing after 1900. The house built around 1930.
I could live there right now.

I agree... we do not have that community feel. I grew up with my grandparents a big part of my life. :) Did that gentleman save the house??
Unfortunately not.

Im from Kentucky😊❤
I often wonder what the walls would say in some of those old homes
Me too!
What year was the last anyone lived in the house? It just seems like the owners vacated it way to early in its life.
I believe the early 80s.
I thought this was up 16
No-one. Lives. In. That. Pretty. House. Now
Yes Scratch is Devil or Witch
The house looks worse on the outside then inside!
