I Haven't Been Here in 14 Years..... Displaced Town
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.ย. 2024
- Hazel Creek is a magical place, a secluded displaced town of the past. I'm thrilled I was able to visit again and I hope it won't be another 14 years before I get to come back. It's such a peaceful serene place and I hope you will enjoy going along with me and seeing the remnants of the communities and the people who inhabited them. Thank you for watching & God bless you ❤️

Corie, I share the following. May it resonate with you. Tell your son, with deep emotions, that you can barely wait to hold him so lovingly in your arms. You, young lady, are so blessed. Receive the gift.
Corie, that was wonderful! I’m impressed that you could do all that walking while pregnant. You should win an award for this video, too! You sure have a knack for putting a video together so that it runs smooth and looks professional. The scenery was awesome and I just loved that old cemetery. Seeing the remnants of what was does make you wonder about their life and times. Well done❣️
Thanks for watching I’m so glad you enjoyed it 😁
We use to have family reunions at Watts Bar Resort in Sweetwater, TN. Every year for many many years. Watts Bar is in the TVA area also. It was beautiful also! I really enjoyed this video! Thank you Corie! You look like you dropped and are ready to pop!! Bless you and your family!❤️
I loved this walk. When TVA harnessed the rivers to stop flooding and generate electricity, many communities were displaced. People need to be aware of the price some people paid for the benefit of the area.
Indeed. A huge price for some families. Something similar happened to my family when NC took over certain sized lakes. Jones lake state park was take over. If families refused to accept the “offer” they were literally burned out. Yes. My grandmother talked about that until she died which was her early 90’s. She never got over it. 😢
Oh and the area is a state park now and when my boys were young I would take them and tell the story of what happened. Inside the office at the state park they have exhibits of the native wildlife and plants etc and one day I saw a brochure of how Jones Lake state park came to be and that the state bought out the families living there and gave so much money per acre for compensation but no where did it tell the rest of the story about any families refusing to leave and take the offer were burned out. The sad truth.
If I had lived in the Calhoun house I definitely would have spent most of my free time on that porch watching and listening to the creek...or in the creek itself 🩷 So peaceful and relaxing
Me too ❤️
Corie, you’re a very talented videographer and storyteller . Thank you for this hiking trip!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😁
Did anyone else get teary when Corie left the cemetery, got on the boat, were on their way & the beautiful music began? I sure did. Such a lovely place full of history. Great job of helping us to imagine the town as it used to be, Corie! Thanks for taking us along!
❤️
This reminds me of my grandparents/great grandparents homestead. All 160 acres under water. Except for one thing. My great grandparents chimney (of their home) is above water. A sad reminder of what once was.
❤
We had woods like that in Texas when I was a kid in the 50'/60's but they cut all of it down and now we have buildings and pavement. I do believe that's why it's so hot here and no oxygen in the air. Shame on men for tearing down the beauty God created! ✝️
Patience and Mosses Proctor, the grandparents of the girl who was being baptized. 🙏🏻
This was a wonderful trip to share. Going into those old buildings reminds me of the old say "If these walls could talk."
Thank you, Miss Corie. That cemetery was meaningful to experience. It's so reassuring community folks still visit and pay respects.
Gorgeous love that you see Gods Words in all of this take care you are glowing
Yes, Corie, looks Beautiful 💕
Thank you so much, for taking us along, for such a beautiful piece of history!!!!! 😍🙏🏻
You and Tipper did a wonderful job taking us along and showing all of the rich history. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
My Cooper. September 26, 2003. Born an angel. ❤ I hope people see his grave 100 years from now and know how much he was loved.
❤️
What an enjoyable trip thank you Corie for taking us along. Love the old history of our land .
So lovely…listening to the flowing water, seeing the green and imagining the clean, fresh air…and the music reminded me of childhood in Tennessee…really appreciate it now at 76💕
This may just put you in labor. Thanks for taking us along. ❤️
What a beautiful place! It makes me sad for the people who were displaced. 😢
What a beautiful little journey you took us on today, Corie. Mixed emotions, for sure, but the bottom line is gratitude. God bless you.
So beautiful. Thank You
Hi Corie I'm sending You Prayers for a safe delivery of your son. Thank you for sharing your trip to the Hazel Creek Area and the reminents of the old buildings.😊❤🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you so much!
Just stunning! God's creativity never ceases to amaze!
Love this . Keeping those lost towns alive and the people and communities that once occupied these places a special acknowledgment that they are not lost to time. There is beauty in the bittersweet. (Side note: wishing you a blessed and healthy delivery of baby . So excited as the countdown begins) ❤
Nature untouched. Beautiful!!
Actually second growth. Remember it was all timbered in the early 1900s.
Beautiful video corie,I think you and Katie will be super mums because you love and appreciate the simple and meaningful things that life gives us,the two boys will be very lucky to have you both, God bless.
I think documentaries are your calling! So well done and so informative!
Awe, thank you!
God's work is truly breathtaking. The love of the land and history forever etched in a beautiful time capsule. Thank you for sharing this with us Corie 💒💕🙏💕😇💕
What a beautiful part of the country.
Beautiful scenery! Bless you, ladies!
Corie, with help from your Mom, thank you for the wonderful and welcome tour.
So beautiful! What a heartwarming place. Brings your heart back in time for how people lived and the struggles they endured. Does so much for your soul and makes us all realize how lucky we are today. God bless 🙏
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it 😁
what a glorious place! I grew up on the Mississippi and my parents came out of the Ozarks. Its like you took me home today. THANK U!
Thank you Corie, for taking us along. I really enjoyed this. God bless ya'll ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
God bless you love to watch your vid iOS I pray everyday for you and your whole family I fractured my hip in 5 places had emergency surgery I’m having a hard time learning to walk I’m 82 years old.love and prayers for everyone .❤

Thank you for your prayers and we’ll certainly be praying for you 🙏❤️
Prayers for you 🙏
Prayers for you mam.🙏🏻
Such a beautiful setting. While the TVA was necessary to control flooding and provide much needed electricity, it's also so sad to think of all the families that were displaced. Unfortunately, progress often comes with great sacrifice.
Corie, loved this visit. Loved the information of the old grave yard. My, my graves in 1700’s
Beautiful area thanks Corey enjoyed. God bless
As someone who can no longer travel I want to thank you for a great video. It is heartbreaking knowing families were forced to move from their homes. Your passion, respect and faith are what this world needs more of.
❤️
I love going to old homesteads and settlements too. It's history and they were a part of how and who developed our country.
Corie I love history' It is a beautiful place and thank you for taking us along with you I really enjoyed it.God bless y'all.
Thank you Corie for showing me this, i have never could se Gods nature, since i was a child, to this day i dont know why, maybe prayers could open my heart for it. Thank you, be safe
I was baptized at a camp near my church. That is a wonderful memory. I didn’t know that one day I would be bringing my daughter and the girls at church to this camp for a week every year when they got old enough.
Thanks for this video. There is a town buried under Candlewood Lake in western Connecticut near where my daughter and grandchildren live. I always felt a little sad and uncomfortable when we would have a picnic at the lake. Your video was very educational. Well done, ladies.
Quabbin Reservoir in Massachusetts flooded three towns too.
Corie, you are a treasure! Thank you for the tour! It brings back all of the feels from my visits to the mountains in years past. We are indeed blessed to have these beautiful hills in our state!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😁
God bless you young lady
Corrie you are very talented with making these videos!
Awe, thank you!
Corie, thanks for the amazing video today. I can see the excitement in your face. You're smile tells it all.
So beautiful!! I glad that you were able to go! 😍
Love your hair in french braids. Cute! 😊
I like the history of the old buildings. Yet it is also special that some places get reclaimed by Mother Nature.
So peaceful
Thanks Corie for taking us along on your adventure of history and natural beauty 💕 The Calhouns sure picked a beautiful spot to build their home. I can just imagine the family sitting on the porch after supper enjoying watching the creek flowing by and the children playing. Can't you!?
This was the best trip I have seen. Thank you for taking us with you.
Thanks for watching 😁
Beautiful country. Thanks for taking me along on that trip.
Corie, you look beautiful!
At about 22 minutes it looks like you are standing in front of a painting. God sure paints a beautiful backdrop for people to enjoy.
Corie i can’t thank you enough for sharing this amazing video with us.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😁
So beautiful. I love places like this. Peaceful and serene, as you said.
I think this has been one of your very best videos. Loved it from start to finish. The music was perfect. I love that you appreciate the mountains and the history that goes along with it. All of my people are from WNC (Macon, Swain, and Haywood Counties) and I dearly love to explore the history there. By the way, you look radiant 😘
Thank you 😊
Thank you for the beautiful, peaceful, historical interesting walk.♥
I just found this Corie, excellent presentation gal, your going to be an excelllent home school teacher when that baby boy comes time.
Loved the tour. Beautiful country. Thanks for taking us along. Am pretty sure what I heard in the back ground was cicadas............
I absolutely love your choice of music! Beautiful video!
Thank you so much!
There is a similar place just outside of Pittsburgh PA. The river was damned and flooded a town. When the sky was right and the water clear, you could look down and see houses, buildings, and roads still under the water....it was kind of haunting.
Wow!
i was concerned that you wandered out there by yourself, but then i heard your mamas voice and i was relieved. 😊
Wow! Thanks for taking us here. 🙏💜
That is a beautiful place you’re sharing today.❤️ Thank you so much!
Same thing happened to the town my Dad’s family was from. Awalt, TN is under Tim’s Ford Lake. It was sad to hear the , “Do you remember” stories.
We have a place called The Lost 40 long ago lumberjacks missed 40 acres of tree harvest. Therefore, the trees are really big pine trees. You can actually look it up on line it's really cool to visit an explorer and see just how big the trees used to be. Awesome video. It's always fun to see you guys having fun exploring such cool adventurers places. So much history. I just wish the walls could talk tell stories. Wow, very old grave site thanks for sharing your adventure it was fun god bless take care.
Really enjoyed you taking us along , that is some really beautiful country, you guys really enjoy nature and so do we here in eastern Oklahoma. We have old schools sites and foundations left that the WPA built back in the early 30’s . The school I went to here in Braggs is still used today for K- 12th grade it was built in the 1939 by the WPA. Good job Corie.
Corie, this video was absolutely beautiful! The lovely mandolin and dulcimer music just captured my soul at the beginning. Of course the scenery was stunning. Aren’t we just so blessed to live in Appalachia. The anticipation of viewing the sites of the long ago displaced community was exhilarating. I too love exploring anything with a history. I think that’s why I love Cades Cove so much. It’s almost like you can feel the life that once made the sites real. Thank you so very much for sharing your trip. I would love to go to Hazel Creek, but I don’t think my hubby could make the walk. Also, loved the video of everyone at your house for dinner. 😊❤😊🙏
Thank you for the wonderful peek into past times.
Thank you so much.
Amazing and beautiful. Remarkable how strong folks were in those days.
That was an extra special video Corie,we really enjoyed it! Praying for you.
Thank you so much!
What a great video! The sky being overcast made it more special. Loved it! ❤️
Thank you Corie for taking me along would never know about,
Gonna miss u while you are taking your break bo nding with little one, it is such a precious time Milk every minute it passes so quickly, I, kept daily log of my feelings as ew mother wrote the changes each day u ti
she was five it's such a treasure now to read🎉a d re.ive that time things I would never have r
remembered. Praying for you to have a quick not prolonged delivery I promise as badly as those labor pains are once u hold your baby u don't remember that part for the joy of meeting your baby boy . Just know you are loved by us.
Thank you 😊
I recall stories from my neighbor who grew up in Oscarville, Georgia. It was flooded in 1950 to construct Lake Lanier. Her families cemeteries were never relocated before the flooding
I was just up that way in mid May. We camp in the Smokies about every two years. We usually stay in Townsend, but we've camped in Cosby, Cherokee, NC, Brevard, NC.
Nice!
Enjoyed this so much. Thanks for sharing
Beautiful 😍
I recognized the music immediately. It was recorded by The Blue Sky Boys. My daddy had that record and he also played the guitar and sang it many times. Therefore this video had a nostalgic feeling for me from the very beginning. Thank you for taking us along with you.
It’s a sweet song, thanks for watching 😁
Better than National Geographic or Discovery Channel. Beautiful presentation.❤🇺🇸
Wow, thank you!
Corrie, I enjoyed this trip so much. You did beautiful narrating.Thank you so much for taking me here. I have Parkinsons and could have never traveled here myself to see these pieces of Appalachian history. Love you, sweet girl!
So glad you enjoyed it ❤️
I enjoy hearing the history of an area but the thing that struck me most was the absolute beauty of God’s creation and as beautiful as it is it will be nothing compared to the beauty that awaits us in Heaven. I don’t think we have the capability in this realm to fully understand what God has prepared for us. Thank you for sharing this amazing video and telling us about this wonderful place.
Corie, love the history of the forgotten places. I am fascinated by these places that were taken by the TVA for Lake Fontana. Thank you for ttaking us there. Prayers for you and your baby boy. 🙏
😁
Another outstanding video with appropriate music. You have talent!! ❤
Thank you very much!
Beautiful Corie 😊. Thank you for sharing this video. I’ve seen documentaries on CHATUGE where diver’s have gone down and found all kinds of things from the communities that were flooded when this lake was built. All the lakes in GA are man made so it really makes you wonder about the stories that they hold.
I’ll have to look for those documentaries. Chatuge is a beautiful lake 😁
I love the Bible verse from Isaiah! 🙏✝️
Thank you for this video. My family was displaced from that area. I have only been to Fontana and a Bryson City graveyard. I wo'uld love to hire Heath to explore further. This was wonderful, thank you. (My family name was Smiley)
Thanks for watching, so neat you’re from that area. Heath is great, you’d love him!
Wow so beautiful and peacefully your videos are. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks for watching 😁
Great video Corey thanks for sharing 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I love historical buildings and homes
Love that you are wearing the earrings your sister makes! 💕
Your hair is so cute! It’s beautiful where you’re at. Some people just don’t take the time to stop and look at Gods landscape. Nature has a way of taking its place back from what man builds. A place in the woods by a river where I raised my kids was taken by the flood. Now that my kids are grown they will go to visit the old home stead and nothing is there only what God put there.
Terribly sad and never forgotten thanks to you and other
Totally awesome! So exciting to see someone as young as you interested in the history of what once was. Thank you so much for sharing, it was super interesting.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😁
This is a beautiful & magical place. I would enjoy living in the mountains of North Carolina. I have such a special place in my heart for people who had their homes & towns taken away from them. The TVA has done the same in our area also. So sad. Thank you for taking us on this great adventure❤ 🙏
How beautiful Gods handiwork! The Mountains and the water. Just beautiful! We too have a couple of TVA lakes. Normandy Lake and Tim’s Ford, here in TN. My family was displaced by Tim’s Ford. Thanks for sharing this! Praying for you and your baby and husband as well as Katie and Ira!❤
Corie, You pregnant wearing a backpack 14 yrs later was a wonder within itself. TY for sharing your beautiful & serene trip with us. Love & God Bless Y'All.
❤️
