Great video ! I love the old headstones. I found one in Pepperell Mass, just off the road, which was a Revolutionary war grave site, from 1776 ! A young man in his 30's was buried there, and his stone read. "Look and see as you pass by", 'as you are now , 'so once was I". "As I am now, "so you shall be", "Prepare for Death" , and "Follow Me" !! I took a picture of it and put it on my fridge. Makes you think, No?
in my opinion, the terrain is uneven on purpose.Keeps the cemetery from flooding. the wood at the center is just a mark to know how many inches/feet of water .
I'm sorry if this has already been mentioned, but I found a newspaper article talking about a guy who broke in there one night this past spring and caused major damage to over 100 grave stones. There was so much damage that they didn't think he was working alone but they didn't have any leads on his cohorts. If they never caught anybody else it would explain the added surveillance you experienced.
The mausoleum @5:25 was probably used as storage for caskets during the winter months since the ground was usually rock hard. I know a lot of older cemeteries up north used to have them. They were necessary because things like backhoes etc didn't exist back then.
I think you're on to something there. That structure may be what has been called a receiving vault. I saw some carved words above the door but couldn't decipher what they were.
You are doing what I used to do. I love going thru cemeteries, reading the names, dates, etc... I really like going thru the ones in the South. Some of the graves actually tell what or how the person died from. In Fla. some of the smaller, out of the way cemeteries had sections for the people who died of Yellow Fever, smallpox, etc... The only people allowed into those sections were those who had survived and therefore couldn't get sick again. You can learn a lot of history in cemeteries.
5.58 minutes it looks like a receiving vault, and probably stored bodies in the bad weather months, until they could be buried back in the 1800's and Earlier part of 1900's 🤓😉💌🇬🇧 P.s I totally enjoy your vlogs/strolls 👍🏻
Awesome cemetery. The first building you showed looks like a winter storage building for caskets when the ground is too frozen. Since methods have changed it may now be used for something else. Those indented areas are very strange. You found dome unusal stones. Keep Safe❤Keep Well❤Merry Christmas🎄
Some of those "mausoleums" could be winter storage areas. When the ground was frozen solid, they would store the bodies until the ground thawed. Great Video.
That first mausoleum could have a buried chapel or vault. It could be that entire area. There is a beautiful underground chapel buried in Lindenwood cemetery in Ft. Wayne IN. The marker is a giant obelisk. you would never know what was underground!
You should come to Minnesota and visit Oakland Cemetery in Saint Paul. The cemetery used to cater to the rich and well connected. There are many mausoleums that are both historically and architecturally important. One in particular, belongs to a couple who, at the time, were considered "new money". The cemetery board quoted the widow a ridiculous price in an attempt to keep her out. But when she agreed, they had no choice but to allow the burial. It's a beautiful Grecian style mausoleum that dominates an entire corner of the section.
Those circular landscape features look as if they could be ancient Native American earthworks commonly found in Wisconsin, Ohio and other Midwestern states. Modern cemeteries were sometimes built upon them.
My thoughts too, Herb. Look like the ceremonial grounds. Not necessarily a native American graveyard. Many Native Americans did not bury their dead like we do.
Awesome looking cemetery 🙌. I have a friend who is part of the daughters of civil war. Her and her husband up until couple years ago were very active in reenactments here in Georgia. That is a very beautifully peaceful looking place. I wonder if those "hollars" are actually places for water runoff. Hope you have a wonderful CHRISTmas 🙌. Safe travels, be blessed 💒🌈👑💗
Most of our Mausoleums are out of town as I have never seen any in town here where I live, some of the headstones are beautiful wow, great video thanks for taking me along xx
The brickwork is called a stretcher bond and the covering is called rendering. The brickwork is covered with a type of glue that acts like a water proofing and helps the rendering to stick which is made of cement, 3parts sand and 1part cement and is put on with a float ( the same type as used for indoor plastering. Once applied just before it has dried the float is then ( using the float ) with pressure is used to what is called polishing which makes it so smooth that it can look like glass. How do I know? one of my sons owns his own building company. Grazie.
The mausoleum at 5:25, the green stuff covering the brick is called stucco. It is a cement product used to cover the outside of a building before siding became popular. My grandma lived in a house covered with stucco.
Another very intresting history lesson in this cemetery, Matt. I don't know why but those circles make me think of mass burials like during outbreaks of extremely infectious diseases. Loved the masoleums, espically the one with the exposed brickwork. The stained glassed window was just gorgeous. You find some of the most amazing things, Matt and I truly thank you for sharing them with us. One very special highlight to my week is a new vidoe from you. ❤ Stay safe and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and an amazing New Year!
I love old cemeteries.. I have looked up deaths by accident by dates I have read on headstones in Papers Past and found write ups on their deaths. Some have been really interesting
Amazing video Matt. What a beautiful cemetery! I wish I knew where it is. I'd love to go there some day. And with the surrounding lakes and footpath around them...awesome! The sunset was also very beautiful. I read some of the comments and I also am thinking that maybe the sunk-in areas were some kind of Indian ceremonial place. Thank you Matt, for your amazing videos and telling the history of the places you visit. Merry Christmas to you!!!
They look like in my opinion where there was once fountains? In those round places? Also it’s been awhile since I took a headstone class but the tree stones mean either like family or the tree of life.
Hey Matt thanks again for sharing your exploring adventures with us!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏻👍🏻 You are such a great explorer. I have only one wish and that is for you to initiate a conversation with the security volunteers. They probably know everything about their cemetery and would probably love to assist. I ran into a man in my family's cemetery and he was a weekend security volunteer and I asked him to tell me what he knew. I have grown up going to ours but I ended up finding out a lot of info including where a General from the army was buried. Anyway you are a really nice guy as well as well spoken. You should try to utilize the visitors or security so we all may learn something. PS by the way cemeteries are infamous for drinkers🍷🍺 to stop and fill up their togo mug ☕ or just stop to have a drink. They are infamously sketched out easily and they try hard not to be noticed or watched. Just a law enforcement tip for ya. 😉😎👮🏼♀️👍🏻
@@539Productions I somehow missed your reply. I think it would be kind of neat to "interview" someone at the cemeteries when you see them. They'll probably have a great story to tell about the cemetery that maybe nobody knows. If you ever want to come to Ontario Canada to do some exploring I would be more than happy to put you up. I'm in between the New York and Detroit orders into Canada.
Thanks Matt for another awesome video about the Epic Mausoleums In Massive 1800s Graveyard I really enjoyed it my friend and keep up the good work Matt my friend and MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR and may God bless you and thanks again. and I can't wait to see your next video
Cool cemetery. If you are ever interested in checking out a couple in Kalamazoo, I would be happy to show you around. I could probably have our local historic preservation coordinator join us. Love how respectful your videos are. Thank you for all the great content.
I remember when the Pease Cemetery in Pease, Minnesota was only half tarred. In the last 5 years they finally paved the entire road through the cemetery. The gravel road is actually pretty cool. And yes, you are definitely being watched if you are visiting a maintained cemetery. You May not know unless they think you are doing suspicious activity.
Love this video, such a peaceful place, I always get anxiety when it seems you are a distance from your car and the sun us going down 😳. Just a little bit creepy 😆
i was born in england. near my mothers house, there is the most creepy graveyard you have ever seen. NOT 1980 nor 1790 but much earler. i remember with my brother we saw old graveyard headstones 1200!!! did they bury thier dead then?. the church is small and all wood graving inside centuries old without, its increadlble. i know you live in america and all that old stuff is antique but that graveyard next to our local church is amazing, even old graves with holes in them, realy!! no-one ever went to see to it so it got all overgrown. i now live in italy, but when i was young no-one went into that graveyard on thier own without a torch!!! my grand father was buried thier and then about 30 years ago my grandmother was buried on top of him. my mother had to get all the old antique markers to see where he was! my schoolfried was buried there but you can see him because he was by the path, im 65 now at the time i was 11. he had heart trouble. now they cremate everyone (almost) so they are on the other side of hill. in italy, here everyone has thier pictures painted and put on thier graves. we have lots and lots of mousoleums, but mainly of ritch people. our house is 14th century!! it has been modonised many times but part where it stuck onto the mountain, there is a cave (thats what we call it), it runs all down the side of the house, if you go to the end f it you can see the 1400 century bricks. we have also 14th century wood blocks in the ceiling!!! well thats old eh???
Once saw a grave yard house. Beeing repaired. They had mixed plaster of Paris. With a pigment. Then pressed gravel against the work to make it last along time.
Great video of this cemetary! It is a short drive from where I live. I wish I had known that you were going to check it out, I would have gone with you. I love exploring old cemetaries as well. There are some pretty famous people buried here. Some idiot teenagers vandalized a good amount of gravemarkers here earlier this year and were sentenced. The added security is the reason for the small group of cars that you noticed during your visit. It's a beautiful cemetary to explore. I've been there about a half dozen times. The sunken area that had a mausoleum attached to it is supposedly haunted and people have claimed to have seen apparitions in that particular sunken area. I've never experienced any there myself. Next time you venture this way, contact me and I'll walk with you. Keep up the great work! Cheers. 👍
Good video! If you find out what those indention's are, post a follow up. My first guess was a mass burial site but there seems to be quite a few of them so I don't know. Very well patrolled and kept cemetery.
Have you ever thought the cars in the cemetery might be playing Pokemon Go? Most of the cemeteries around where I live have multiple Gyms and Pokestops.
Hey Matt, don’t know how I missed this awesome video...this has to be one of your top ten! That Woodmen of the World monument was truly an epic one! Maybe those strange mound-like areas were vortexes into the Great Beyond. 😂
Hello Matt that last mausoleum you showed was big just like the ones in Culiacan Sinaloa Mexico them have 2 story ones fancy and very expensive they also have electricity, Internet and they are all well kept. So beautiful. I enjoyed watching your video them tombstones are so old it's sad that the city does not have that cemetery well kept.👍
@@539Productions yes you should I know that if you show a video of them 2 story mausoleums and everybody from around the world that sees your channel videos they'll love watching your video from Culiacan Sinaloa Mexico. They are huge there's also some that looks like them monuments from Russia and another that looks like the temple of Israel the one with that big round ball on top. One even looks like the Taj Mahal monument in India with marble designs also except that the one in Mexico it's a two story. Hope one day you go over there.
I believe Emil Stroh is the Stroh's beer family. Btw, do you ever check with the cemetery office for history and info? Also, public records? I've been fascinated with cemeteries since I was a teenager. My family thought it was weird, and now there are many youtubers who do what you do. I think it's great. So much history.
This cemetery has over 15,000 people buried here. There are famous people buried here as well, shown on the Find a Grave.com web site. Woodsmen of the World was an Insurance Company that you prepaid for your burial needs. And yes, we are all gonna die, but we can respect those who went before us and teach others to respect and remember those who went before us as well. Thank you..............
About that vault marked 'Erected 1859' and built into the bank next to the mound. It could possibly be an old storage vault for the deceased who had to wait for the winter's frozen ground to thaw before they could be buried.
I suspect the circular depressions may at one time have been floral or shrubbery plantings that were probably taken out eventually just for easier upkeep. Pretty place, I've always been interested in these burial options. Thanks for posting!!
You're in my town. I spend quite a bit of time up in oak grove, besides the fact I work for the city it's a beautiful cemetery. Did a photo shoot with my hearse in front of the chapel several months ago, and you were right about the pit next to the chapel, it was an ampitheater for services and other large gatherings. Also, the mausoleum in the old section of the cemetery was a community storage of sorts during the winter months. When it was too cold to bury people they would be placed into the mausoleum until a thaw came, then they would be buried. Now days it's just used for storage.
Had to watch this again. I understand the engineering of Mausoleums, but not the human side. Why did they make such elaborate places? They are forgotten and I understand why they would be locked up; ( nutcases out there). You'd think they have living ancestors? Just thinking out loud....😐
In Europe they have specific days to go and visit graves. Wholes families..in the early years they would have picnics and visit with family on Sundays here in America. Like a large house these structures were status symbols. The Stroh family is the first I have seen without names or dates. Great comment!
You should come to the Dunmore cemetery, Dunmore PA. Not abandoned, but very elaborate toms and headstone. The who's who of the area are buried there. The wealthy anthracite coal barons from a bygone day, when the Scranton, PA area was at it's peak of economic boom.
I would think the cars driving around aren’t checking on you per se. they may be there to meet up with someone or partying and they are checking to see if you are someone they need to be afraid of. I live in the west and haven’t been to cemeteries in the east so I may have a different view of things. Maybe I’m totally inept too. ;)

I think about it every day
I love that verse
The East , like Mass. and Connecticut have much older graves and cemeteries than do the Midwest.
in my opinion, the terrain is uneven on purpose.Keeps the cemetery from flooding. the wood at the center is just a mark to know how many inches/feet of water .
what I was thinking also, surprised this didn't come to the guy filming this realization
I'm sorry if this has already been mentioned, but I found a newspaper article talking about a guy who broke in there one night this past spring and caused major damage to over 100 grave stones. There was so much damage that they didn't think he was working alone but they didn't have any leads on his cohorts. If they never caught anybody else it would explain the added surveillance you experienced.
Mary Bobb, three men were eventually charged, sentenced to jail time/probation, and ordered to pay restitution.
That’s just terrible. You gotta be a real low life to disrespect the dead like that. Glad they were caught!
That is so wrong , why do people destroy history like that .
They should be given community time cleaning up cemetery!
The mausoleum @5:25 was probably used as storage for caskets during the winter months since the ground was usually rock hard. I know a lot of older cemeteries up north used to have them. They were necessary because things like backhoes etc didn't exist back then.
I think you're on to something there. That structure may be what has been called a receiving vault. I saw some carved words above the door but couldn't decipher what they were.
I’m thinking it’s a receiving vault as well. The lettering above the door says “Erected AD 1859”
I live in the town where this cemetery is, and you're completely right about it's use.

The strange mound is where they would bring the caskets in, kind of a round about. Probly from horse and buggy days . . . .
demoninepro99p I was thinking they were for rain run off so erosion would be minimal.
Awesome explore! I was in need of a cemetery fix. What a beautiful place I could lose 3 or 4 hours here easy. You are my favorite TH-camr.

Herb Wag I thought the same! Reminds me of Serpent Mound and other Indian mounds here in Ohio - Newark, Athens, and Tarlton.

Yes, I wondered the same thing. They resemble some around Austin that are supposed to help with water run off and I think to mitigate flooding.

Thank you Jenny...very informative,i never knew that!!
I believe Emil Stroh is the Stroh's beer family. Btw, do you ever check with the cemetery office for history and info? Also, public records? I've been fascinated with cemeteries since I was a teenager. My family thought it was weird, and now there are many youtubers who do what you do. I think it's great. So much history.
This cemetery has over 15,000 people buried here. There are famous people buried here as well, shown on the Find a Grave.com web site. Woodsmen of the World was an Insurance Company that you prepaid for your burial needs. And yes, we are all gonna die, but we can respect those who went before us and teach others to respect and remember those who went before us as well. Thank you..............
About that vault marked 'Erected 1859' and built into the bank next to the mound. It could possibly be an old storage vault for the deceased who had to wait for the winter's frozen ground to thaw before they could be buried.
Eerie, yet beautiful
Awesome location! Those doors at the beginning are awesome!!
Want those on my house!
I'm a bit curious why you didn't just walk up to security and ask them about those pits?
Thank you...
What a interesting cemetery! Thank you !
7:35 I'm pretty sure that's a receiving vault where bodies were temporarily kept during winter until the ground thawed.
I suspect the circular depressions may at one time have been floral or shrubbery plantings that were probably taken out eventually just for easier upkeep.
Pretty place, I've always been interested in these burial options. Thanks for posting!!
Northern Trumbull County/southern Ashtabula county Ohio has many small graveyards in cornfields spent one summer on a moped checking them out
Ok i just watch it all almost reminds me of a golf course this was awesome love the beautiful stain glass window
You're in my town. I spend quite a bit of time up in oak grove, besides the fact I work for the city it's a beautiful cemetery. Did a photo shoot with my hearse in front of the chapel several months ago, and you were right about the pit next to the chapel, it was an ampitheater for services and other large gatherings. Also, the mausoleum in the old section of the cemetery was a community storage of sorts during the winter months. When it was too cold to bury people they would be placed into the mausoleum until a thaw came, then they would be buried. Now days it's just used for storage.
What town is this cemetery in and what is the name of the cemetery? Thanks!
The grassy hole is probably for run off water when it rains, to help control any flooding.
New subscriber, I like your videos 👍 especially this one, for some strange reason I like cemeteries
Another great video thanks.
Wow....just wow. This is one of your best explores yet....
Had to watch this again. I understand the engineering of Mausoleums, but not the human side. Why did they make such elaborate places? They are forgotten and I understand why they would be locked up; ( nutcases out there). You'd think they have living ancestors? Just thinking out loud....😐
In Europe they have specific days to go and visit graves. Wholes families..in the early years they would have picnics and visit with family on Sundays here in America. Like a large house these structures were status symbols. The Stroh family is the first I have seen without names or dates. Great comment!
One things I enjoy about old cemeteries is checking out the names and dates. This host rarely mentions this information
Could they be water drainage runofffs?
They are flood basins. This cemetary appears to be on a river or lake.
You should come to the Dunmore cemetery, Dunmore PA. Not abandoned, but very elaborate toms and headstone. The who's who of the area are buried there. The wealthy anthracite coal barons from a bygone day, when the Scranton, PA area was at it's peak of economic boom.
I would think the cars driving around aren’t checking on you per se. they may be there to meet up with someone or partying and they are checking to see if you are someone they need to be afraid of. I live in the west and haven’t been to cemeteries in the east so I may have a different view of things. Maybe I’m totally inept too. ;)
No he maybe right. One of the comments near the top stated they were vandalized majorly in the spring.
great video hope you have a merry xmas and a happy new year
Always enjoy your videos. Thank you and have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
