I enjoy the graveyard tours! With traffic circles that have two lanes remind me of the movie " European Vacation " when they get stuck in the inside lane for hours in Paris!😅 Thanks again. 👍
You are allowed to fish at that area. You are not allowed to to boat to the right, that takes you to the main lake. You are allowed to boat to the left, it's very shallow. Kayaks and canoes work well. Also Yellow House Hotel is one of the most history filled places that you passed. Great video, thanks.
Thank you Cliff, that would be great, doing a series of small historical towns. I grew up near Mount Holly, NJ, and live in Burlington City and both are historical towns. I grew up and still do, having a love of such towns. I've always had a love of history, whether it is people, places or objects.
Please do a series on old historic villages. In the fall of the year would be very evocative. Your videos are great. Best wishes to you and your family 💜💜
Fleetwood is where i grew up. Many changes as you drove thru. The locals say Moselem as mo sill um. Yes do a small town tour. Thanks for sharing, Cliff.
I would never expect you to know much about Fleetwood. It’s just a small town like a ton of others in berks, but there is so much history. From its start as an overnight stop for oxen taking iron ore from Moselem to Oley Furnace in the 1700’s To why there’s a Fleetwood Cadillac, the metal body works you mentioned. They hand formed custom all aluminum body’s for high end cars like Duesenberg’s and Rolls Royce. Later they were bought out by Fisher then GM. There is so much more. If you ever do a small town series, Fleetwood would actually be worth a revisit. Any of the people at the historical society would definitely help you.
Cliff, keep right if your going to make a right turn at first exit, keep left if your doing a later turn Always signals on circles( we call them round abouts here in Washington State). Cheers, Rik Spector
You’re making me want to come to Pennsylvania to do my own tour of where my paternal grandfather and his ancestors lived. I know several lived in Berks County, but they were mostly Austrian and Scottish.
Thanks for the ride-along. Being a Pennsylvanian myself, it really makes me happy to see all the open space still in PA, because where I am at in Chester County the development has gone mad and there isn't much open space left. This made my heart happy! If I was younger, I'd consider moving up that way!
I live in central Pennsylvania and have all kinds of wildlife in my yard. From rabbits to bears. Pennsylvania is a beautiful state with plenty of open spaces where I live. I just wish we could do away with winter 😆.
@@vanreichelderfer8053 If I was younger, I'd consider moving to Central PA. I'm originally from Sunbury area, and I'm so happy that there is so much open space left in our beautiful state! Thanks for the comment!
@@debhouckscraftycottage9288 i teach at SUN Area Technical Institute and have students in my class from Sunbury! Go Shikellamy Braves 😆. Did you graduate from there? What year?
I would love a video on Amityville! I used to play in that cemetery. Our babysitter lived in a house next to the church. The house had the windows in the attic like the Amityville Horror house.
I love old victorian and old farm houses. I don't like modern homes. That cemetary was awsome. I'd be interested in old historic towns and what not. Please 😊
Oh dear you wouldn't like my city it's roads are a grid system with loads of round abouts . Milton Keynes in England and of course we drive on the left so we go clock wise round them . 😊
Another old village to check out before it’s gone is Kulpsville, Pa. Visit the old graveyard adjacent to to the parking lot at the Holiday Inn filled with the Kulp family. Then next to the pedestrian bridge going over PA 63 behind Walgreens are some placards explaining the founding of Kulpsville.
Nice road trip. I was amazed when you said you were never to the Kutztown fair. This is the biggest activity that happens in Berks county every year. Last year 14,000 people attended. The old farm equipment is amazing. If you like the history of farming this might interest you. Stay well and cool.
Yellow House Hotel used to be painted yellow! And say Moselem Springs…mo-sell-um. The doctor’s office there used to be a very nice restaurant at one time. The mill is in the village of Moselem. I grew up over the hill from there, right outside Virginville. Thanks for this video!
Lovin this road trip. I always liked stone houses too.Ill take either one of them. Please go back to that cemetery preferably in the fall. I think Jon went past that yellow house in one of his videos. Im surprised there were no Amish farms along the way. I hate those round abouts,too. If you miss the turn,or not sure which one to take,you must keep going round. This was a great ride. Wish I was there. Safe travels ❤❤❤ ❤❤
As a quick side note, veering into Weavertown Rd from the big church (St. Paul’s United Church of Christ) will lead you to Exeter Friends Meeting House, at which the Boone and Lincoln families attended and some are interred. Meeting House was built in 1730.
It’s been a couple decades since I’ve been on that route (it was a route to college in Kutztown) and none of those traffic circles were around then. Safe to say most people hate them.
Moselem Springs Roundabout You did great. The right hand lane was for going towards Allentown. Your lane was for going straight or staying in the Roundabout and going to Reading.
My WPA Guide to Pa says that the big church in Amityville was opened in 1929…apparently built over an already existing church….another church nearby was built circa 1844. Originally there was one church, then a split happened and the there were two churches. Now fences have been repaired and Amityville is back to one.
those circles are the new rage, I think they are dangerous, they used to be a big deal esp. in N.J.but they were proven to be dangerous and done away with, but now they are back, lets see for how long
between 14.00 and 14.08 the video skipped and was missed but there is a White House on the right that’s very close to the road. It is the original toll house for the Oley turnpike
Near to Kulpsville is the Morgan Log Cabin on Weikert Rd….The Morgan family contributed to the maternal side of the Daniel Boone family. Lovingly restored by financier Walter Morgan.
I noticed Wandering Woodsman that you are wearing a new hat. Does your hat say Black Water? I can't read it all; what's the History about your hat? Your other hat I seen your video on in the past about Old Niagra. I'm just curious about your new hat I noticed it in this video your new hat.
Those roundabouts are so much better than the traffic lights that were there. Saves a lot of time. Love em
These old towns, churches and cemeteries are fascinating. It would be great to see a series like this.
I enjoy the graveyard tours! With traffic circles that have two lanes remind me of the movie " European Vacation " when they get stuck in the inside lane for hours in Paris!😅 Thanks again. 👍
Love those movies.
Nice scenery and small towns.
Nice drive, lovely scenery

Great video, thanks.
I definitely enjoy watching your videos on historical cemeteries and locations.
I really enjoy your videos of old grave yards. I would love to see more of them this year.
I love your videos. I find them very relaxing and soothing. 😊
Beautiful farmland doesn't get old as far as I'm concerned. Happy motoring
I would love a small town series for the history of PA
Thanks Cliff! 👍🏾😉

21:22- 21:35 Spent my childhood running around in the woods in that area. We lived at the top of the hill on the left.
I would love a video on Amityville! I used to play in that cemetery. Our babysitter lived in a house next to the church. The house had the windows in the attic like the Amityville Horror house.
Should definitely do an Amityville video and/or small town PA series. Especially now that the Union Canal series has ended.
So beautiful , Cliff !
So beautiful !

Loved the video. Love the sound of you visiting.historical places. Keep cool. Thanks for taking me along. Please take care
You Gotta Love it!! Free car ride by sitting At Home!!! With glass ice tea in my Hand!!!

Hans Michael Ludwig is my 7th great grandfather...I will need to visit him sometime.
Any series on PA Dutch or their lifestyle would be an interesting series.

We love the idea of the "small towns of Pennsylvania"! We vote for that! Plus, it beats my idea of "The Highway Rest Stops of PA"--- LOL!
Fleetwood was known as a coach manufacturing town back in the day….also National Flat track champion Chris Carr lives/lived nearby.
Lovin this road trip. I always liked stone houses too.Ill take either one of them. Please go back to that cemetery preferably in the fall. I think Jon went past that yellow house in one of his videos. Im surprised there were no Amish farms along the way. I hate those round abouts,too. If you miss the turn,or not sure which one to take,you must keep going round. This was a great ride. Wish I was there. Safe travels ❤❤❤ ❤❤
Yes, go back to that cemetery and to a series on small town America.
My feeling is for you to do the small town series. I like the historic houses and other structures. The cemeteries too.
As a quick side note, veering into Weavertown Rd from the big church (St. Paul’s United Church of Christ) will lead you to Exeter Friends Meeting House, at which the Boone and Lincoln families attended and some are interred. Meeting House was built in 1730.
yeild to the cars in the circle - she didn't
Thanks Cliff.

Amazing it's 19th July n Ireland. Funny, back to d fut--e, got 4 wks Summer ⛱️ on us ☀️😎
Thanks Highlighter
I've never even seen a two lane roundabout. You can keep those in Eastern PA. 😅
I used to live in Michigan but now live in Phoenix area. I am amazed at the great road conditions you have.
Awesome!
Love your videos
Moselem Springs Roundabout
You did great. The right hand lane was for going towards Allentown. Your lane was for going straight or staying in the Roundabout and going to Reading.
Sounds like you finally got that tire off that had the broken belts in it.

That’s the maiden creek it feeds lake Ontelaunee
I always heard it pronounced MO-sel-um Springs.
What type of church was that in Amityville?
America: We are the land of the free
Also America: No swimming, no fishing
Me:😂😂😂
That is the water supply reservoir for the city of Reading. Fishing is allowed, but no swimming or boating.
That was pronounced mo sel um springs
Your not allowed to boat,fish,swim, and breathe near that body of water. Are you sure your allowed to look at it?
😂
33:53 Appear to be mergansers.
I noticed Wandering Woodsman that you are wearing a new hat. Does your hat say Black Water? I can't read it all; what's the History about your hat? Your other hat I seen your video on in the past about Old Niagra. I'm just curious about your new hat I noticed it in this video your new hat.
3 years ago he went to Blackwater Falls State Park in Davis WV.
About 3/4 thru the video he was donning this hat.😊
I think it's pronounced Mo zell um
