I Scotch Irish from Ulster Northern Ireland , many of my relatives lived in those mountains and a number of the fought with Clacks infantry during the civil war , my family name is Herron a real hillbilly. God bless you for doing this.
Hey Donnie,as I told you before. My Mums heart broke when she would see a building breaking down. She new the hard life , the good life😢. Very well done friend 🎶. Enjoy your time in the Woods 🎉. JO JO IN VT 💞
These places are like very elderly people who sheltered and took care of families, full of memories and becoming weaker with the years, but left alone, neglected, and forgotten. They inspire a haunted melancholy in me, but I love looking at them. Thank you.
"These old people that didn't have nothing. But they made it." True words Bro. Donnie. And for the most part they were happy with what they had. Great memories that if it weren't for you would be just that. Memories.
I can't pass an old deserted home without thinking about the memories, the tears and laughter it holds, brother Donnie. Thank you so much for sharing these videos and recounting our past! I hope you're having a wonderful time on your camping trip, brother. Shabbat Shalom, and G-d bless you and yours! Please pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
Thank you Donnie for all the hard work you put into these videos. You really know where the history is waiting to be seen. You have the perfect voice tone for story telling. You present things peacefully and with a calm tone to your strong voice. Thanks again for keeping history alive. Your friend, Louise
I don’t call it progress. It’s just so sad. Growing up, we kids found an old foundation of a farmhouse that even the elders didn’t remember. I loved visiting it. So quiet and full of history. I remember those old country stores too. We used to camp near The Wilderness, the little village on the river is now a subdivision and a Walmart is/was being built where so many lives were lost. Our history doesnt matter anymore. $$ are all that count. I hope you enjoyed your trip! Thank you sir for leaving this for us!🙏🏻
I thank you Donnie for recording these places where folks used to live. When I was young I could drive just half an hour away and I could visit with my old friends at the general stores, gas stations and feed and seed stores. The area where I lived as a child was still half rural and I could walk to an old Methodist Church to pray on Sundays and Wednesdays. It was a two mile walk but my parents never worried about me walking that far. The most that I would meet was a neighbor's car or truck. All of these places of my childhood and teen years are all gone now, even the church, replaced by the urban sprawl of the spreading city of Atlanta. They even call where I used to live Atlanta now! But once, it was a thriving little town with the big city at least twenty miles away. That town was my home address! It's no longer there, all office buildings now, including where my house was. Please record as much as you can before it's gone! We need to remember where we came from. Take care in your travels my friend! May God bless you and yours. P. S. I enjoyed seeing the horse!❤
Never gave it much thought when visiting my great grand daddy . I'm not sure and I've discussed it with my first cousins and we believe great grand daddy has natural gas on his property? Mr. Donnie can you or anyone confirm?? It's Clay county Kentucky. I've been told the log cabin is still standing, however there is no road to it today. One of my cousins lived at a Baptist boys home in Clay county and we are going back in the spring of 2024 to refresh our memories about ALL of it! Im 78 years old today.
Isn't it amazing how fast mother nature reclaims her world?!? Doesn't take any time for the weeds and vines to grow up over structures!! I also love that so many young folks are buying up old farm homesteads and breathing new life into them!!
It has always made me sad to see a barn, let alone a house, fall to pieces like that. And like you, I do love to see people restoring the old homes , or at least putting it back into service. I think we've forgotten how to build houses. The old ones have lasted thus long because they were made to last. Thanks again! Have a nice time on your camping trip!
Donnie, Donnie you pull the ol heart strings! I guess progress is important but I’m not so certain when it cost our heritage. Hope you enjoy your camping trip thanks for what you do.
It makes me so happy to see a young couple save and restore an old house. These old houses will outlast the newer homes if you do a little upkeep on them. Young people are saving 200 + year old stone cottages with only walls standing by putting a roof on. They are saving their history in France and Italy by working so hard to save ruins everywhere and moving in them. It is great to see many doing the same in the USA. I love your videos and hope that a young couple will watch this video and get inspired to save an old homestead.
Both of those towns are packed with history. My dad was born in Claxton and went to high school in Clinton. I live in Arizona but I could write a book about that area of East Tennessee.
Hi Donnie. Thanks for this video. I, too, am saddened by "progress" and neglect. I think we could solve the issue of homelessness if we would tend to some of these old houses. I'm so glad you're out enjoying yourself! Have a great trip and don't worry about the comments.... you deserve a vacation! We all understand!
Thank you, Donnie, for sharing these beautiful old houses and memories 😊 I can't wait to see you chatting with Bill, 92 Off to see my Dad, today, he's 88 1/2, give him something to aspire to 😄🤗❤️
Came across your page. Love your stories next year Appalachia mountains of NC is where I'm calling home. Can't wait been dreaming of living in the AM since I was a kid. I'm from Texas. Those mountains are calling me. My wife and I are going back to living the old fashioned way.
I grew up in a two room shack Donnie and I loved every minute of it had some good memories and some bad memories but I wouldn’t change it for the world
Can't wait to see the story of Bill and his house! The man doesn't look 92 for sure. Good, clean living is why he's that age and looks much younger. Back then most of us played in the woods and on a creek or river and ate what we grew, it makes all the difference. I really enjoyed this video, thank you so much. God bless you.
Hi Mr Donnie, hope you are enjoying your camping. Thank your for the film showing all these old buildings. Very sad to see. God bless and rest up. How fascinating about the older gentleman that you met!
It saddens my heart too, to see all the history going away. So sad. Thank you for remembering these old people. Our history and the lives they lived. The Bible was their first reader, for a lot of them.
I do the same thing here in mountains of SW Virginia, just driving around on the back roads looking for abandoned homes and barns, wishing they could talk. Take care Donnie, and God bless.
I love remembering the old times thanks Donnie for helping to keep it remembered. Have you ever done an Ancestry on your family's passed I have an I found some awesome things about my ancestors. Thanks Donnie God bless you and yours
Many of these places are just crying out, " Tell our story", and that is exactly want Donnie Law does. He gives details with his unique voice , that has to be a gift of God. He continues to call people in to Listen to these ancient local histories of days gone by. Thank you Sir for the wonderful job that you do. Your friend, Louise
God bless you Donnie watched your video while me and my wife were making butter so glad to hear and watch your videos fixing to take the table cloth off and make some dumplings. People might think I’m lying but I’m not there are still a few of us left
Thank ya Mr. Donnie for keeping these memories alive. I hate to see old home places deserted and gone. My granddaddy had an old home place just a few feet down what use to be the old dirt road but I guess it got too small for the family be was raising at the time so he built a little bit bigger house a few feet back up the other way which is the old house I grew up in. It wasn't that much bigger than the other one....lol. Bless his heart. But fortunately the old house I grew up in is still there.
my husband I really enjoyed this video. We are from Southeast Ky originally and can really relate to everything you said here. It saddens our hearts that the old places are going away too. you are right , these folks were God fearing and just downright good people. Yes things have really changed, and not all for the good. Thank you for the video. We appreciate you bringing it to us.
Thank you so much for sharing. My mind just goes back to my childhood..what sweet memories. I was raised in a coalmining town here in SouthEast Tennessee.
Such a shame it just breaks my heart. I miss it so. I feel so privileged and blessed to have grown up that way. The values the morals the integrity taking pride in your work and what you do and how you carry yourself and treat each other is still ingrained in me and instilled in my family to this day. These generations now have no idea what it took to get them where they are now! And sadly all we have are the memories that we hold and cherish. I will never forget the sacrifices that my great-grandparents, grandparents and parents made for us. It makes me who I am today and I take great pride in that. God bless those who lived the good life and taught us how to be good stewards of this way of life. And I have a feeling that the right things are going we're all going to have to go back to those days. I truly pity those who won't be able to take care of themselves. God Bless You.
Donnie, I loved every moment of that video. I love seeing old places like these, although unfortunately in my part of the world they are inevitably torn down to make way for new dwellings or sheds if they are on a farm. I love to imagine the stories those four walls could tell - the children raised there, the good times, the bad times. Places like this are so important. God bless you 🙏
You really did find some rare old places. What a happy chance you met Bill who grew up in a house built in early 1850's! Looking forward to your video on this one. Thanks for sharing
Amazing pictures of these old home sites and businesses I often wonder if they could talk...oh what stories they could tell. When you speak of foundations these are the foundations to many families that started at the very point...a hard struggle for most but a drive and determination to make it better for the next generation to come...I am humbled by my family's history we come from hard working farmers and laborers working to make life better for each generation and with a deep faith and a love for family and extended family. What I find in all the generations in our family no ill words were ever spoken of anyone and they were admired for their love of family, country and community they called home. We can learn much from this legacy how we ourselves are to conduct how we live and treat others... because our families did it prior to us with far less resources and trappings of the modern era we live in. Always a joy to be along on your journey into the past my friend and truly appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us. God bless you my friend 😊🇺🇸😇🙏
I love those old places and scenic back roads Donnie....if only those old places could talk what a story they would tell.... Have a safe stay in the autumn Mountains and thank you for the video Brother.
I sure enjoyed the old houses with all the character of the families that once lived there. What stood out in my mind was no matter how snall or large the home was it had a porch and 99 percent of the buildings had metal roofs. Now up here in the Northeast they are going away from shingles and back to metal roofs. What goes around comes around. Thank you for another great video.
Hello from KY love your channel ❤️.Glad you are enjoying yourself.Hope you are warm and safe.Love these videos.Boy they really spark a thought provoking time in my life.❤
I'm so glad that alot of us still try and keep these places alive for a little longer ur right about things changing hopefully there's more family members that's gonna save there great grandma and grandpa's farm 😢
Have fun and be safe brother! Love this. Thanks for documenting these places and can't wait to ee4 yhe video with ole Bill. God bless and have a good'n my awesome mountain brother 🙏
Hi Donnie, I Ioved seeing all the old houses, it’s so sad to see them rotting away. Thank you for sharing this with us. Looking forward to hearing the story of the gentleman and his childhood home. It looks like it was a beautiful home in it’s day. Stay safe while you are out and about and watch for snakes!!!!! The creep me out 🫢
Wonderful video. Not much different than Central West Virginia. I was watching your story, but my mind was full of memories of things that no longer exist. Right now, I was recalling a lovely old woman who still lives in the farmhouse that her husband built, and her daughter who lives just down the holler (hollow). I have land in that holler that I bought to pass on to my children just so they would have a piece of WV and hopefully feel a connection even though we all live in Florida. I do believe that they also feel the pull of those hill and mountains. Over the last twenty years I've taken my Father, Mother and oldest Son back to the family burial plot. It's not pleasant but the connection to those hills is not broken. East Tennessee. My old H.S. football coach who is gone many years was from East Tennessee, as was his wife. They were the Bales family. Thank you for your poetic look at your homeland. Those of us from Appalachia will always have that connection and love for those hills. It's no more than a day or two before I will find myself, in my mind, back to where God created me and am proud to be a Mountaineer. Thank you, I have great respect for what you are doing.
Happy camping ❤😊 my friend . Bev. INDIANA.
GOOD MORNING, GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS.
I SO MISS THE DAYS.
I Scotch Irish from Ulster Northern Ireland , many of my relatives lived in those mountains and a number of the fought with Clacks infantry during the civil war , my family name is Herron a real hillbilly. God bless you for doing this.
My grandmothers father was from Irland, her mom was Cherokee, I live in Scott Co Tennessee
Fantastic video!
Hey Donnie,as I told you before. My Mums heart broke when she would see a building breaking down.

Those old mountain folks didn't have much, but they had more peace, privacy and natural beauty than we have today
Thanks for sharing this my friend.
I love old houses, churches, buildings. So much history. Thank you, Donnie💛
"These old people that didn't have nothing. But they made it." True words Bro. Donnie. And for the most part they were happy with what they had. Great memories that if it weren't for you would be just that. Memories.
Awesome video. Our history is fading away. Thanks for sharing
Thank you friend. Your very welcome.

Thanks so much for sharing this my friend. God bless you. It is sad to see nowadays.
My family members are building in Appalachian part of Kentucky. Two brothers building 2 log cabins there.
