Thanks so much for watching this video! If you enjoyed it, then I know you LOVE this one- th-cam.com/video/fSeyPRGHI9w/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=JeremyXplores
Did anyone notice the Doctor’s bag after he looked through the medicine cabinet? I wonder if the father of the house was a physician? Very interesting farmhouse. I would love to find some of the pottery and neat antiques that were there.
It never ceases to amaze me when I see family photos abandoned like this. No matter what those should be cherished memories to pass down for generations.
I was laughing when I saw an Amazon box and one of the first generation flat screen monitors. A lot of the things in there were surely not ancient antiques. I have a family member that used to be in the antique business and this is no gold mine. A trophy from 1999, plastic tubs. C'MON!!!!!!
History is history and you can't make excuses for how people acted 150+ years ago. It's a beautiful mansion regardless of their19th century upbringing and beliefs. Thank you for showing it to us with all of the antiques intact. The state should make it a historical monument for sure.
I will never understand how someone could let this old house and all these antiques go to waste. I love old houses and antiques and this just saddens me. I would cherish everything here if it was mine.
It's amazing that the place hasn't been vandalized and everything hasn't been stolen and sold. It just sits there all these years unnoticed and untouched.
@@SissyKaywell as I see it, the grass is kept bush hogged, and probably folks know not to go Fk'n, around with these folks stuff! Out in the country, people know WHO they can mess with and WHO they can't!. Lol! Really I'm just kidding, there's no telling about why this place hasn't been looted! 😊
With the exception of a couple of rooms, this house is in exceptional condition. I wish I could buy it with all of the contents included. I would attempt to bring everything back to its former glory. I would try to find a place in the house for those beautiful antiques and get rid of the garbage. Then, I would try to locate the family members and invite them to come see it. I love this old place!
I used to dream of an okd house and antiques….now I have reached the age where I want to get rid of everything unneeded, keep my pictures…but all the clutter and unused stuff needs to go. Lol I know my daughter will just set it out for trash….she Knows pictures are valuable. But everything un needed is a burden…unless she wants to spend months trying to sell it. She not long ago threaded out her own home….
You'd need to get a priest in there before moving in. Can't imagine how much evil must have lived there for the kids to not even want to go get their stuff. OR all the antiques. It had to be a horrible place to live, they probably never wanted to go back. I do hope someone restores it to the way it was, it's very rare to find a house like that still in such good shape. I kind of wonder if the person who owns the land uses it for THEIR storage and it's just mostly their stuff in there?
I felt exactly the same way while watching this. So many beautiful antiques, made for quality back in the day. It's sad that we will never see such care go into manufacturing again.
I can't believe there is not one family wanting to cherish that home and bring it back to life. The property, the home, the furnishings are all beautiful.
Surely property taxes are still be assessed on this place. It's puzzling that despite a lot of junk everywhere, some very fine and useful items are just left there and bound to be ruined if the roof continues to deteriorate. I would think that some charity would get involved as many things could be sold to help the community and restore the house. Also, with so many people homeless, it's a shame that a well-built structure is neglected like this.
It is perfectly normal for this home to have confederate memorabilia. People at this time had parents or grandparents that were touched by the civil war. Judging from the kids' photos, this house was still functional in the 60s and 70s. They probably had it done up very nicely as old style kitsch was popular back then.
@@chrispenfield2419 absolutely. And even if they DID own the book, that is fully their right to do so. Way too easy to make value judgments in our "woke" world (which aint' really enlightened at all sometimes) and context and history forgotten or ignored.
Also not every person in the confederacy was fighting to keep slaves. That wasn't even what the war was started for. 2% of people in the south owned slaves (of that many slave owners were black, but that's another discussion to be had). It was absolutely for states rights and living in the times we're living in today it should be more obvious than ever. What is good for California may not be good for Tennessee, what is good for New York may not be good for Arkansas. The federal government has gotten too powerful and Americans are an afterthought. The federal government has failed us all. Anyway dude shouldn't be creating a narrative about these people based on a few books and photos. He doesn't know them or why they made ant decisions that they made.
I'm 75 now, and when I was growing up in Kansas everybody I knew well had a rifle or a shotgun behind the front door! They were loaded. Yet, no one's child ever got shot! We young children knew better than to go near them!
Bruce Catton won the Pulitzer Prize for his works on The Civil War. He was born and died in Michigan , so he was a Yankee. His books are said to be some of the best and most accurate written on the Civil War. If this house is near Greeneville Alabama , this couple lead a good honest hardworking life.
The wealth of history in this home was astounding. You can’t act as if things didn’t happen. History is set in stone. No amount of trying to erase it will make it go away. We learn from history and try not to make the same mistakes. This home is beautiful and the inside WOW❤❤❤
Well said. Our history is what has made USA the greatest country in the history of the world. Hopefully someone will remodel the house and get her back in liveable condition. A lot of long grain pine that is better than what we have today.
Well said! Those who do not learn about, and from, history, are destined to repeat it. We need to push back on these nutcase trying to deny or erase history (tearing down statues, destroying art, burning books, rewriting history books, etc.) Honestly, our country has gone bat chit crazy, thanks to the radical levt, wokejoke movement pushed through our schools and colleges. It's dividing and destroying our country. We need to bring back common sense, healthy debates, logicical thinking, ethics, and morals, before we all end up living like starving animals, in constant fear, under a global authoratarian UNnightmare. That's the plan, and many are still completely oblivious or in denial (Cognitive Dissonance). May God help us. ❤
I melted looking at all of those gorgeous pieces of furniture and ephemera abandoned to time, weather and rodents. When a family’s history is abandoned as such it makes me think there were really strong conflicts dividing them. Soooo sad. No one in their right mind would forfeit the value of heirlooms like this!
The amount of history in this place is truly amazing and i wish someone in the family would continue to preserve it, including the house itself. Ive never seen so much unpainted wood, even the beadboard! So gorgeous, the quality of craftsmanship shows. I'd love to restore this place. I also wish our family had this much history left, but most of it was kept in a damp basement so it all got thrown away from mold
Don’t you know this place was pure beauty when it was built. The house the yard can never be replaced like it once was. If walls could only talk. Awesome!
Such a fascination with Civil war history..I’d give anything to read the diary/ journal all those letters, to be in the minds of those written the said letters..most should be at the Smithsonian, going back in time and their thoughts of what they endured ..absolutely phenomenal!
My family grew up with many of these artifacts. It was like a trip down memory lane. Everything should be catalogued, preserved, and restored. Love it - thank you!
I imagine this house was built in the 1800’s and has been in this family for several generations. It’s being kept this way for a reason, not to get rid of or to sell. Looks like it’s all in safe keeping right where it is. There’s no busted out windows or vandalism. No rat or mice infestation ruining everything, so these family relics are right where they should be for now. Maybe one day their great great grand daughter would absolutely love to have a house full of beautiful old antiques or whoever in the family down the line. I wouldn’t let American pickers or anyone like that get close to that place all they’d do is squander it all away to make a buck. And as a southerner from Alabama not all of us are small minded ignorant racist hypocrites. The civil war was hell for both the north and the south with over 600,000 deaths I’d say nobody won.
This house holds 3 or 4 generations of "things". That's why you see 2 pianos. Just went through this clearing a family member's home with this much stuff in it. We gave most of the items away to the community and people who would appreciate the antiques or just needed furniture. We wanted good to come from loss. This reminded me of how people can value their "stuff" more than people sometimes. But in the end, we learn how to care about each other better from the mistakes of others! Thank you for this amazing walk-through time! You have a very soothing voice and it makes it a pleasure to watch!
@Denise Smith Yes! Of course, for we we all are God's children, and underneath our skin, we are all the same. The only things that are different are our customs and culture. God bless you from the bottom of my heart.
General Lee was in the north when the CW broke out. He said he couldn't fight against Virginia so became a General in the southern army. He was the best general in the war.
@@dragonflydreamer7658 You're deflecting from your own historical ignorance by falsely claiming that a person "just came over the border", therefore upon your word alone, without evidence, that person is wrong. I have studied the Civil War in an unbiased fashion for the past 30 years. The Civil War was far deeper than that whole watered-down, one-sided virtue signal version you had hammered into your soft head in school. You've been taught to believe it was about the North freeing the slaves.... while ignoring that while the North made that claim, they continued a war against every native tribe out west to either annihilate or round up into prison land plots. So, this claim of "every man being equal" was just Union lip-service for public support. The war was about a radical restructuring and expansion of government. With that said, you seriously need to study and think deeper, instead of just regurgitating what feels good and seems popular.
@@f1nch1312 The war was lost by the south because the generals under General Lee at Gettysburg didn't wait for his orders. Very sad. He truly was a geat general.
After the Civil War General Lee became the President of Washington College where he lived on campus. His home in Arlington Va. became a graveyard where the US government wanted the consequences of war to canvas his property. Lee would make a point to march out of step the rest of his life and did not want to be remembered as a hero. As for General Grant, he never had a harsh word to say about him.
I read somewhere that Robert E. Lee wasn't initially interested in becoming a Confederate soldier, let alone a General. If you have read something similar, please respond.
@@catherineoneal1030 actually that's true. Robert E Lee was a US Military Officer. Colonel Robert E. Lee stormed Brown's position in the arsenal's enginehouse and captured or killed most of his force. Lee struggled with the decision on which side to fight. Country or State. When it came down to it he decided his loyalty was with the stae of Virginia.
@@gregleonard7391 Thank you for clearing this up historically. I knew that Lee started out as a US Military soldier, and was conflicted about who to fight for, but was foggy on the details. You gave me the verification and details I was lacking. Again, many thanks!
When my great aunt and uncle died, their daughter couldn’t bring herself to deal with their things so left it sitting for her sons to deal with it after her passing. She’s 100 now and the house is still standing…somewhat!
The construction of this home is amazing. It was built way back in the day when a REAL home was built sturdy with no rain damage visible. The woodwork alone looks like it was erected yesterday. Magnificent. I gather that these items were packed up with the intention of being moved, but something might have occurred at the last minute that caused them to abandon everything. On the edge of my chair, I kept thinking that you would hear a voice of someone who discovered you there as an intruder. I appreciate the fact that you respected their belongings; you are a good person and thank you for that.
These possessions are much older than would belong to a couple married in 1969. I was married in 1968 and we had no such possessions. Some of the antiques date several generations prior and could have been inherited or each generation occupied this home consecutively and precious items were kept. TH-camr is right, this is like a museum. It would be fascinating to put all the pieces together. The medicine cabinet holds very old bottles and seem to be out of place. Thank you for the tour.
That is crazy, i am almost certain I've been in this house and knew the old couple and daughter. My Father was a Baptist preacher, this couple went to the church, when I was 10 or 12 we are Sunday dinner with them, and watched wizard of oz in the room on the right. Wow, I've never forgotten how that old place was all wood and how tight it all was. Great find. I'm no longer down there, not sure what happened with them.
@billywilliams2521 I find it fascinating that he has the backstory of the family and that they were running from their history. It appears the yards are kept from overgrowth and with as much daylight as we can see through the doors etc there isn’t much dust. I’m a fairly educated individual and am from the humid south. I reckon I have extreme doubts as to this place being “abandoned “ per se. Would you k own if the back story was accurate?
@sammiller1699 it has been so many years, the family that I sort of knew lived there and farmed some. The daughter was a couple years older, always came off as strange though.
It's like a time capsule, but there's still some modern looking things, too. It would be interesting to know why everything was left. Even if they didn't want the memories, those antiques would be worth the trouble cleaning them up and selling them. An auctioneer or estate company could even go through and do the work. The house itself is a treasure. It would also be worth the effort to get back into shape for someone willing to do the work and spend the money. From what we're seeing on video, anyway, it doesn't look too bad except for a few rooms. We don't see too many houses like this in my area. If there's an old farmhouse that's abandoned or starting to look unsafe, they get torn down, and new homes are built, seldom are the properties left vacant. I'm sure someone comes upon the home and wants the land and / or house and digs around land plat maps for the owners and makes a deal. It's really a neat video.
Thank you so much for this video, it is the best of its kind that I have seen, BY FAR. You are well-spoken, your voice is soothing to hear, you aren't rushing around and jerking the camera all about, and you add an element of dignity and respect for the home and the former occupants that is sorely lacking in many videos by other posters. I've grown quite weary of those videos where a loud pack of frat boys storms on through an old home, place, etc. like it is a keg party, and every third word they speak is, "DU-UDE!!!" But, I must confess, I did this very exact (du-ude!) thing while watching your video. You see, when you got to the kitchen area in this video, I was almost jumping out of my seat over the "HOME COMFORT" wood/coal burning kitchen stove, because...I have the EXACT same stove in my home! Yep, still in use today, and there is a fire burning in it as I type this. I use it to cook my meals and heat my home. It is great when the power goes out. I only wish it was in as good condition as the one in your video. Now I know what parts are missing on my trusty Home Comfort. You made my day!
Always makes me so sad seeing old homes still full of memories. Hard to believe there is no living grandchildren that would want some of those antiques. Think of the Christmass and Thanksgivings everyone laughing. Life goes by to quickly enjoys your days.
I saw bibles and a wooden sign with Jesus's name inscribed on it. I just hope that truly knew Him and were saved. The Mans Picture in the entry hall above the book case looked like a preacher to me, maybe , maybe not. But he had that look. An esteemed man by the Family for such a prominate spot.
Things of the world grow coldly dim in the Light of His Glory and grace... If everyone could just experiance His Presence and Glory one time, you would be forever changed. It is absolutely possible too.
Wow what a remarkable beautiful place 😍 ❤️ ❤❤ Id love to buy that whole place the labd looked beautiful as well.. im in total aweee im a huge antique collector.. one my favorite things to do is go to estate sales .. i collect old keys ive got some that date bk in the 1800s .. And holy wow the medicine cabinet was a shocker .. im so in love w this home its just so beautiful
The family should really get antiques dealers or pickers in as there are thousands of dollars worth of furniture in there. Tiger oak is still quite valuable and getting rare. The house could be restored...if done soon. This is a part of history. Thank you for taking the time to do this and sharing it.
I worked for a (really big named) furniture factory. They considered tiger oak, curly maple, any other beautifully grained wood, garbage. It broke my heart how many times I was made to scrap something beautiful and replace it with boring uniform wood.
@@shewho333 How could they think something so beautiful is garbage?? That's just crazy. One man's junk is another man's treasure, but COME ON! I bet it broke your heart. I would've done anything in my power to bring it all home with me lol. I still would be looking for these beautiful old things if I still had my home. I'm praying for a better one! ❤️🔥
Hello Jeremy. Very interesting house and contents. But I would like to point out that you misidentified many objects and even the type of wood things are made out of. The bowl and pitchers that you said you would find in France, were very commonplace around the world. They were your water and wash basin before there was indoor bathrooms with running water. Also, the kitchen was very much an American type kitchen with a wood burning stove. That house was electrified long after it had already been built. So every form of heat and light came from flame. Some of the items that were truly exceptional there were ones you simply passed up. I wish I had been there with you to educate you on antiques and their use.
. people just don't care enough to research history. Like one of the first slave owners was a black man. He was one of the richest men in the colonies and one of the largest land owners. They don't teach that in school! And the war between the states.... slavery was an excuse for war. There were several other issues going on.
Yes. You'd think, if someone was going to create a channel doing this, they would have had an interest in architecture, antiques, and old things, first. Therefore, they'd naturally be reading books on their uses, how/with what materials they're made, and what the basic values are. You'd most likely be drawn to antique stores, markets, and auctions & ask questions. (People who love antiques usually LOVE to chat about them, so you'd be soaking up knowledge.) Most people, driven by curiousity, would be looking up items online after each tour, to educate themself, so they'd be able to point out the items in the future, and explain what their basic historical timeline and uses, were, etc. You'd be learning as you go, and enthusiastically sharing what you've learned, because you would realize that it would make your videos WAY more interesting to your subscribers, and will help grow your channel.
An amazingly well built home, love all the wood! You can tell several generations have been here as there are many items from when I grew up in the 60’s and newer items as well. I’m not sure why, but feel like this may have been a doctors home in early times, just a strong feeling. Common people couldn’t afford many of these things. There sure are some awesome pieces there…if walls could talk, the stories they’d tell
I thank you for going through the medicine cabinet . That was so great. That next room looked like it had a doctor’s bag in it. Their pictures looked modern but obviously they were from a long time ago. Excellent explore, Jeremy. Loved it so much
I can’t believe children would just let all that go. I kept everything of my heritage. I gave a lot away to charity because I did not have room for it. But I went through everything including my mommys underpants. I just can’t fathom it. 😮
When I was a teenager, we moved into an old victorian style farm house that was still set up like the family had literally just left for the day. Clothes in the dressers and closets, hairbrushes, mirrors, and combs on the dressers. It was literally like stepping back in time. This was in the 80s and everything in the house was from the mid 50s at the latest. The calendar was May of 1955. About 3 months after we had been living there, the elderly neighbor across the street told us that the family that lived there was killed in a car accident on the way to church in the spring of 1955. The extended family wasn't interested in any of their things but had kept paying taxes on the property. Strange.
I lived in a house that was built in the 1770's for seventeen years. I worked very hard to make it look presentable but the walls were plaster with horse hair insulation so they were hard to paint. I started visiting antique stores to find some old gems and found quite a few. My favorites were linens including curtains and old table lamps. When the walls started peeling and the ceilings started bowing and my husband wouldn't do anything about it, I moved back Into my house. I'm telling you this because the things you love are the exact things I love in these old homes. There's quite a few of them here in farm country, PA. Thanks for your great stories as you go through these old homes!!
We use to live in an old farm house that we rented. When we were moving out I attempted to repair some of the cracks in the plaster. It was during the repair that I saw reddish hair poking out of the plaster. At first I thought I had discovered a dead body that someone in years past had hidden behind the plaster.😯 Imagine my relief when I learned that it was probably horse hair that had been mixed in the plaster to help bind it together. 😅
One thing about exploring some old house or barn you see it's best to ask the property owner or land owner first. They don't care for people roaming around without at least asking and being nice about it
This house is amazing! So many generations stuffed in this gem. I really wish you opened the medicine bag!!! I feel like this house has not been “abandoned” to long as it’s in great condition. Maybe not lived in, but definitely not truly “abandoned” in my opinion. Absolute love!
How do you know what the children of the couple thought or felt or why they left? Did you speak to them? Or is this just what you assume? To make your video more interesting
I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one questioning that. I think he did it just to add some drama to his story. Just like the twice said comment about the non "creepy" photo of a man that was in the bedroom.
I wondered the same thing. I was able to find the owner of the house, she lives on the property in a different house. I wonder if he also figured that out and talked with her?
@@Dianne-it3cfwe really don’t need to share our history with them. But they keep moving here judging and destroying things they don’t understand. Buts what’s new, the Yankees spread freedom to us in the South by burning it to the ground, the spread freedom to the American Indian shortly after, then on and on, spread it to Iraq, Afghanistan, every spreading their Yankee view of the world that nobody wants. Funny thing is my house was built in 1818 and we still fly the Flag and Robert E. Lee, Jackson and Stuart are still on the walls.
Notice the craftsmanship of the interior of this house It would not take much to bring back this house to life and preserve such historical craftsmanship I wish I could find something like this and research the true history of this place Great job showing us this time capsule 😊
I have watched a lot of videos of this kind, but never have I been so captivated as I have with this one. The old saying "If walls could talk" there would probably not be enough years in a decade to tell its story.
I think part of the reason it resonates with me is because this is in our own country, and seems to span the ages of our history! God bless the souls who lived there, and may new life return to it.
Just curious as to your rationale. You didn’t want to show pictures from the trunk, but you showed the children’s photo on the wall and the wedding photo in the drawer. Loved the trip back in time!
I contacted Alabama historical commission. For it to be saved, must be nominated to be saved by Residents of Alabama. To me this place has significant historical value.
Thank you so much. I agree, this home is a treasure and should be preserved from a historical perspective. It's a time capsule, containing so many beautiful & invaluable antiques.
The Robert E. Lee framed print on the wall near the beginning of the video looks to be recently placed there. The "book" with the confederate flag on the cover is actually part of a set of 33 rpm records released by columbia records featuring music of the civil war period. The other half of the set is the "Union" version. Obviously the music was performed and recorded in the mid 1900's when these albums were released.
As a native Alabamian I must say this is my favorite tour so far. I would love to be able to talk to the children who grew up in this house (who are no doubt older than myself by now). They must want nothing to do with their past seeing as how they haven't went back to get any of this stuff.
@@sheilad83 I doubt that, even though I don't know for sure. They obviously haven't been there in years and they would profit more off of this stuff by doing something with it now, instead of when...when they die? Their kids aren't going to want this stuff they have likely never seen. But, who knows. I live in Panama City Beach, Florida now, but i was born and raised in Decatur. Morgan County. The great state of Alabama!
@@user-vr1rl4mc6z Thank you! I agree! It seems the US takes more flack than any country where our history is concerned, especially the South. I always watch Jeremy's explorations and truly enjoy them because I like his knowledge and his genuine love of these homes but this one I didn't care for the narrative. Loved the house though.
@@southerngal4593 apparently he's afraid of the woke backlash.🤦♀️ Which no one should be afraid of anymore because it's nothing but a radical Marxist few that stir up trouble.
It doesn't have anything to do with their past. More than likely it's the fact that their children probably don't appreciate old, well-made things.🤷♀️ For some reason there's a lot of people here in America now that are obsessed with the newest chinese-made junk they can buy so they can keep up with the Joneses.🤦♀️
Something bad has happened to leave it like this. These things are too valuable to leave behind. Someone is also keeping the yard trimmed. Notice the grass is very tall around the vehicles but is perfectly groomed elsewhere. It should all be waist high.
Fantastic explore Jeremy, you always deliver the very best but this one exceeds all expectations. All that treasure, worth a fortune. Might have to watch this over again, loved it! So much appreciation for showing this original old house which deserves to be saved.❤
At 29:26 you can sure tell that you don't know your antiques very well. It's called a wash basen. People would wash their face and hands in it like a sink in modern days.
The baby stroller is actually called a "Pram" which date's back to the mid 1800's. If the pram in this old house has 3 wheels, then it's pre 1920's. As for the rest of the house, it's so awesome looking and so well preserved. Thank you for sharing this video...
"Pram", was actually the abbreviation of "perambulator". Over time we've either abbreviated (like brassiere to bra) or completely lost words (like Aviatrix for a female pilot). Or both + (Water closet to WC to toilet to loo)!
Interesting. Like our word in the USA "Trash" is unwanted household goods or things of no value to throw away... I believe the UK word is, "Rubbish". Please correct me if I'm wrong. @@Yosef_Morrison
@@Adoptiveangel Yes, trash is to the dump as rubbish is to the tip. "Take it to the rubbish tip." I remember a luncheon once at a friends once where an American guest asked for a napkin and a few giggles erupted. In England, they use a French word, "serviette" for what is called a dinner napkin in the States. To Brit's a napkin is something a fertile woman uses once a month or it could reference a "nappie" which is a baby diaper. What fun!
I love the tongue and groove woodwork throughout. The antiques are amazing. My guess is the mom is in a nursing home and the place is tied up between kids fussing over personal things and the nursing home laying claim to everything as they do in AL. Thank you for bringing us along. ❤
@@ouestlelivre In Alabama they do. And they will even if the property is put in another’s name, IF that didn’t happen a certain number of years *before* the owner needs to enter a nursing home. The same goes for any $$ from the sell of properties. So, aging owners have to give over their property or sell it while still able to take care of themselves/their properties, or the whole family loses. It’s very difficult to give over ownership years ahead, plus not knowing when that time might be. This isn’t really made public knowledge in Alabama and nursing homes claim lots of properties from astounded, sad, families. They say it goes toward future care. The senior citizen could pass away before any great amount of care is given. Plus, in Alabama, the nursing home gets all of the senior’s Social Security/retirement except $30.00 a month-and they have to pay for hair cuts and personal needs out of that. I’ve seen it happen more than once, in Alabama. I don’t live there now, but that’s how it was about five years ago.
Ironically, I noticed a book titled "Ghosts along the Mississippi" which is a photographic text book charting the decaying houses of Louisiana. The cabinet on which it sits was made by a Scottish thread company called J & P coats. The cabinet was likely intended to store threads.
Calomel aka "mercurous chloride" was a medicine commonly used during the Civil War (not much modern day usage) I must admit that the medicine cabinet was my favorite part of this journey. But I'm sad you didn't explore the doctor's bag, they most likely had a Civil War physician in the family since many of those meds were abandoned due to toxicity during the turn of the century.
What a joke, not very convincing. Guy shouldn't be aloud to comment on stuff he knows nothing about. His guesses are stupid and why are things so creepy when he's trying to go for creepy with his creepy ignorant knowledge,creepy music and lack lustered stupid surprise of everything. My god get someone that's not so obvious and ignorant. Hope this isn't a phony series. Dear God.
I sooo enjoyed this home. I also appreciate the respect you give the family (deceased/living). It was a home well lived in and the history they shared. And the mystery as to why so many personal and antiques just left behind. Thanks for the tour, Jeremy!
Well, George and Joyce may have lived and raised a family in the home, but I'm guessing that house belonged to someone's great grandparents. They would be of a younger generation than these antiques belonged to. Kudos to them for preserving and taking care of all those beautiful antiques.
There is a sadness about this house.i felt it during this video.i never understood why people walk off and leave everything.this place to me is worth saving.Thank you for bringing us along.loved the tour of this place Thanks again
It looks to me like someone had an antique shop that closed and they filled the parents or grandparents home with these amazing items. I had a similar shop at one time. The J&P Coats on the bureau with all the paperwork became Coats and Clark and they made spools of thread among other sewing items.The wicker type fancy chairs are mid 1800s. This whole place is a treasure of antiques. What a wonderful journey presented with much respect.
I agree.. I got married I 1962 and things were MUCH more modern than this. This looks like my great grandparents home. Beautiful but we didn't live like this in the 60s.
@@angiejackson5340 Well said!! I was only 10 when you got married. My grandma was born in 1896 and was in my life every day as she was my best friend also. She died at 103 in 1999 and I was 47. I was so lucky to have her for so many years. But this home would've belonged not to someone her age but of her parents. Meaning my great grandparents just like you stated. Thank you for speaking up. I agree with everything you said.
The long hall was a breeze way, old school A.C. In the summer both doors stayed open to help keep the house cool. And that's what I love about the south.
I agree, im from the south and he seems to keep demonizing southern people. He sounds like a social justice warrior. If not for the history in the house i couldn't keep listening to his hate to the simple southerners raised in that era.
Wow. The old medicine cabinet is a treasure trove. That would be an interesting segment all by itself, if presented by someone who knows about all of those old pharmaceuticals. Watched a video once of a guy that dug up the back yard of an old suburban property originating from a time/place when people disposed of their trash on their own properties. And he was going over all the concoctions that people were using back in the day. It was very interesting.
One of the most beautiful homes I’ve seen in a long time. I love the wood and doors looking front to back. The couple who lived here either collected or inherited a treasure trove of antiques. As for history, love is the answer.
As a thought, it'd be nice to see someone (thinking you, Jeremy) buy this place. Then working thru all the items, rehoming/selling much of it, fixing and restoring the house, and vehicles would make one awesome series on YT! I know, I've been absolutely engrossed in a couple such happenings ( Curiosity Inc). This place is amazing, as is the treasures it holds. Thank you so much for the tour.
I wish I was younger and could own that house and all it's contents. That's right up my alley. I would love that! Can u imagine lace curtains blowing in the breeze, a pie sitting in the kitchen cooling? Oh my gosh...so many things pop into my mind. Handmade quilts on the beds with crisp white linens. I could go on and on. Thanks for doing this video but I would like to know why everything was left and what they are going to do with all those beautiful things.
The houses with the front door & hallway straight to the back door were called “shotgun houses” meaning you could shoot a shotgun straight thru the front door of the house, out the back door & never hit anything in the house. Why you would want to do that, I don’t know? Great video.
I am amazed some young People has not destroyed it. It is great to see all the stuff from the Past. Thank You for showing us around this old home! Amazing to see those old Books, what a treasure.
Many southern leaders were heroes of their time. Please don't negate that fact. Also, any propaganda found in the South, you'll find equally in the North. Robert E Lee was a scholar and a gentleman, Sherman on the other hand was a cruel, beast of a man. Before anyone jumps - I was raised 3 miles from DC. Family in NY, NJ, VA, MD, NV, CA, WA. Yankees, Rebels and Westerners galore.
What an incredible find! I’ve never seen so many antiques and ‘finer things’ in one home! When I saw all the medicines in the cabinet, it made me wonder could this be a home of a Dr.? So many things and not disturbed for many years, like a museum, amazing! Thanks for sharing it, I’m so glad you are documenting this, as some day it will be gone!
I hope the family does something with these antiques so they are not lost to decay (maybe you can update later about this) the history was very interesting, thanks for taking us in with you and your respectful way of sharing it
I worked in antiques for quite some time. This is a virtual treasure trove. The fact this place hasn't been ransacked is a genuine miracle. But the overwhelming sadness of its complete abandonment physically hurts.
Saludos, This place is quite special, one of the more interesting places I have had the privilege of seeing anyone explore! I don't think we have the right.... no one should pass judgement on the prior tenants.... what was found there cannot be construed as racist, and it does no good trying to erase history. I could have watched an all day exploration of this particular house! Great film, Thanks and Cheers!
Loved watching you restore this beautiful doll and was so delighted watching your cleaning techniques , media mixtures, antique utensils, beautiful hand crank, (sewing skills) patience and the end results.. Did I leave anything out? I absolutely loved your restoration skills. You are a very talented artist.
Very judgmental, I’d be careful you don’t try to rewrite the history that people lived and fought through. As Americans we have come a long way and your slant doesn’t sit well.
@@rascalme9754good use your judgment. But that is the judgment that matters to only you. His is a belief system that tries to erase history as uncomfortable as it might be. It is still our history that everyone should know. And yes there were heroes on both sides, including Generals. Everyone just needs to quit being pussies and learn. Can you imagine if these same people had to fight today. Back then you had to be a MAN at a very early age.
This was misleading. U make it look and sound as if people in the 60s lived like this. THEY DID NOT. I'M 78 YRS old I got married in 1962 @ 17 yrs old we didn't live like this. Looks like my great grandparents home. Please do ur research before u start making a video.
You're looking through someone's home. Someone from a different time. I'm disappointed that you can't just see it for history without feeling the need for the never ending condemnation and social commentary.
Thank you for sharing and depicting history correctly and with kindness. It blows me away that there are so many houses like this with so much history and story left behind.
Fascinating explore, I thoroughly enjoyed every inch of this house. I loved all the antique furniture and the stove, wow! It is so sad to see all this left behind. Thank you for being so respectful of the family's privacy.
That’s a fine house . It’s built out of heart pine . In my opinion , grown children just are too lazy to go through their parents house. They know it can just sit there . I hate it when I hear folks say “Oh I just can’t bear it.” …. It’s usually because they don’t want it , they don’t want anybody else to have it either . The people that lived in that house were fine upstanding people that made enough money to have hobbies ( race ) and ride motorcycles . Please do not smear their memory by apologizing for their way of life and beliefs .
OMG!! all the woodwork!!! Those beds alone!!! WOW!!! someone really needs to preserve this gorgeous house and all the craftmanship in it!!! Id LOVE to have this home in my family. Pass it on and make happier memories for those walls to protect! Its amazing how well preserved alot of that stuff is!! I keep seeing pieces i would LOVE to have!!! ❤😊
Good evening Jeremy and everyone! I got the notification for the premier so late I've had to watch again!!That house was INCREDIBLE - a real time capsule and I can understand the sensitivity some Americans might feel vis a vis the Confederacy story. Absolutely brilliant video Jeremy. I don't know what you did before discovering urbex but your command of the language, both written and spoken, is excellent. (I was a proof reader and I'm impressed!!) Added to this you have a beautiful, soothing voice!! Thanks for all the effort in bringing these interesting stories to us. Gill 🇬🇧
@@cranmer1959 I was offended by the reference to Hitler. He overstepped a boundary line there. Very disrespectful and totally misleading. He needs to study American history.
@@gailford6302 Exactly. I am 65. I grew up in a time shortly after the Civil Rights Act was passed under LBJ. I remember what things were like back then. Today is nothing like that at all. All of this fake outrage is a bit much. My ancestors fought for the South. They were most likely sharecroppers and farmers, not plantation owners. It was a different time.
@@stellashepherd3229 I can tell that the people live there valued the things inside greatly. Something terrible must have happened to make them give up on it.
We live in my husbands 5th generation farmhouse built in early 1800s including much of the items in this house in Alabama. I often think how fragile life is and making best decisions to who and how your estate gets handled for when you are no longer able to or have passed

If the county owns the property they could sell the contents for a pretty penny and put the funds to a good use. 💖🇺🇸
What a delightful journey though the neat well preserved stuff. That medicine cabinet too cool..reminded me of great grandmother's house
Did anyone notice the Doctor’s bag after he looked through the medicine cabinet? I wonder if the father of the house was a physician? Very interesting farmhouse. I would love to find some of the pottery and neat antiques that were there.
The most disturbing part of this explore is leaving all that cool stuff. Why do people not take stuff? I'd most certainly be very tempted.
have you noticed that many of these 150yr old homes are still standing strong. Construction was so much better back then. Amazing.
Old growth trees also had a lot to do with it.
back then folks made and built things to last. Didn't have money for repairs so they made sure it was done right the first time.
It's falling apart lol
I live in a good old 100 yr home it's built like a tank
@@bobvalentine8927 Ours is 118, and same.
It never ceases to amaze me when I see family photos abandoned like this. No matter what those should be cherished memories to pass down for generations.
Some families burn the photos
I was laughing when I saw an Amazon box and one of the first generation flat screen monitors. A lot of the things in there were surely not ancient antiques. I have a family member that used to be in the antique business and this is no gold mine. A trophy from 1999, plastic tubs. C'MON!!!!!!
Not everybody's childhoods were happy... perhaps they didn't want to remember.
It seems the kids these days don't appreciate their history!!
History is history and you can't make excuses for how people acted 150+ years ago. It's a beautiful mansion regardless of their19th century upbringing and beliefs. Thank you for showing it to us with all of the antiques intact. The state should make it a historical monument for sure.
I will never understand how someone could let this old house and all these antiques go to waste. I love old houses and antiques and this just saddens me. I would cherish everything here if it was mine.
What waste now ! I can't believe people do this now
The owners may have died or been killed. I guess there are no other heirs.
It's amazing that the place hasn't been vandalized and everything hasn't been stolen and sold. It just sits there all these years unnoticed and untouched.
The antique wicker pieces look to be in good shape. Worth a small fortune!
@@SissyKaywell as I see it, the grass is kept bush hogged, and probably folks know not to go Fk'n, around with these folks stuff! Out in the country, people know WHO they can mess with and WHO they can't!. Lol! Really I'm just kidding, there's no telling about why this place hasn't been looted! 😊
With the exception of a couple of rooms, this house is in exceptional condition. I wish I could buy it with all of the contents included. I would attempt to bring everything back to its former glory. I would try to find a place in the house for those beautiful antiques and get rid of the garbage. Then, I would try to locate the family members and invite them to come see it. I love this old place!
I used to dream of an okd house and antiques….now I have reached the age where I want to get rid of everything unneeded, keep my pictures…but all the clutter and unused stuff needs to go. Lol I know my daughter will just set it out for trash….she Knows pictures are valuable. But everything un needed is a burden…unless she wants to spend months trying to sell it. She not long ago threaded out her own home….
You'd need to get a priest in there before moving in. Can't imagine how much evil must have lived there for the kids to not even want to go get their stuff. OR all the antiques. It had to be a horrible place to live, they probably never wanted to go back. I do hope someone restores it to the way it was, it's very rare to find a house like that still in such good shape. I kind of wonder if the person who owns the land uses it for THEIR storage and it's just mostly their stuff in there?
I felt exactly the same way while watching this. So many beautiful antiques, made for quality back in the day. It's sad that we will never see such care go into manufacturing again.
I said the same thing. I would cleanse it with sage and breathe love into the furniture oh my God it's such a shame nothing is made like that anymore
I’d pay $25,000 right now
The book you pointed out had as one of its authors Bruce Catton. He has written many many books on the Civil War. Very highly respected.
I have the same exact book
I can't believe there is not one family wanting to cherish that home and bring it back to life. The property, the home, the furnishings are all beautiful.
If I lived in America and had the money to restore it, I would
I love 1800s old rustic farmhouses, I hope to buy something soon...
Well the ps 3 and 4 "relics " scream drug house!!!
Surely property taxes are still be assessed on this place. It's puzzling that despite a lot of junk everywhere, some very fine and useful items are just left there and bound to be ruined if the roof continues to deteriorate. I would think that some charity would get involved as many things could be sold to help the community and restore the house. Also, with so many people homeless, it's a shame that a well-built structure is neglected like this.
I don't even know these folks and I want to bring back their memories!
It is perfectly normal for this home to have confederate memorabilia. People at this time had parents or grandparents that were touched by the civil war. Judging from the kids' photos, this house was still functional in the 60s and 70s. They probably had it done up very nicely as old style kitsch was popular back then.
It’s totally ok! For those of whom it isn’t, get over it!
@@chrispenfield2419 absolutely. And even if they DID own the book, that is fully their right to do so. Way too easy to make value judgments in our "woke" world (which aint' really enlightened at all sometimes) and context and history forgotten or ignored.
Doesn't get more confederate than southern Alabama
Also not every person in the confederacy was fighting to keep slaves. That wasn't even what the war was started for. 2% of people in the south owned slaves (of that many slave owners were black, but that's another discussion to be had). It was absolutely for states rights and living in the times we're living in today it should be more obvious than ever. What is good for California may not be good for Tennessee, what is good for New York may not be good for Arkansas. The federal government has gotten too powerful and Americans are an afterthought. The federal government has failed us all. Anyway dude shouldn't be creating a narrative about these people based on a few books and photos. He doesn't know them or why they made ant decisions that they made.

Bruce Catton won the Pulitzer Prize for his works on The Civil War. He was born and died in Michigan , so he was a Yankee. His books are said to be some of the best and most accurate written on the Civil War.

The wealth of history in this home was astounding. You can’t act as if things didn’t happen. History is set in stone. No amount of trying to erase it will make it go away. We learn from history and try not to make the same mistakes. This home is beautiful and the inside WOW❤❤❤
Well said. Our history is what has made USA the greatest country in the history of the world. Hopefully someone will remodel the house and get her back in liveable condition. A lot of long grain pine that is better than what we have today.
Amen!
Please make. Ron D. aware of this!
Well said! Those who do not learn about, and from, history, are destined to repeat it. We need to push back on these nutcase trying to deny or erase history (tearing down statues, destroying art, burning books, rewriting history books, etc.) Honestly, our country has gone bat chit crazy, thanks to the radical levt, wokejoke movement pushed through our schools and colleges. It's dividing and destroying our country. We need to bring back common sense, healthy debates, logicical thinking, ethics, and morals, before we all end up living like starving animals, in constant fear, under a global authoratarian UNnightmare. That's the plan, and many are still completely oblivious or in denial (Cognitive Dissonance). May God help us. ❤
Tell that to native Americans see how they feel .
I melted looking at all of those gorgeous pieces of furniture and ephemera abandoned to time, weather and rodents. When a family’s history is abandoned as such it makes me think there were really strong conflicts dividing them.
Soooo sad.
No one in their right mind would forfeit the value of heirlooms like this!
The amount of history in this place is truly amazing and i wish someone in the family would continue to preserve it, including the house itself. Ive never seen so much unpainted wood, even the beadboard! So gorgeous, the quality of craftsmanship shows. I'd love to restore this place. I also wish our family had this much history left, but most of it was kept in a damp basement so it all got thrown away from mold
Don’t you know this place was pure beauty when it was built. The house the yard can never be replaced like it once was. If walls could only talk. Awesome!
The portrait was amazing...not creepy at all. I'd love to purchase one of these treasure homes. So beautiful ❤
Such a fascination with Civil war history..I’d give anything to read the diary/ journal all those letters, to be in the minds of those written the said letters..most should be at the Smithsonian, going back in time and their thoughts of what they endured ..absolutely phenomenal!
Yes me too!
My family grew up with many of these artifacts. It was like a trip down memory lane. Everything should be catalogued, preserved, and restored. Love it - thank you!
We have an old Antique shop here in town full of stuff. It is closed up. All those beautiful Antiques.
I imagine this house was built in the 1800’s and has been in this family for several generations. It’s being kept this way for a reason, not to get rid of or to sell. Looks like it’s all in safe keeping right where it is. There’s no busted out windows or vandalism. No rat or mice infestation ruining everything, so these family relics are right where they should be for now. Maybe one day their great great grand daughter would absolutely love to have a house full of beautiful old antiques or whoever in the family down the line. I wouldn’t let American pickers or anyone like that get close to that place all they’d do is squander it all away to make a buck. And as a southerner from Alabama not all of us are small minded ignorant racist hypocrites. The civil war was hell for both the north and the south with over 600,000 deaths I’d say nobody won.
This house holds 3 or 4 generations of "things". That's why you see 2 pianos. Just went through this clearing a family member's home with this much stuff in it. We gave most of the items away to the community and people who would appreciate the antiques or just needed furniture. We wanted good to come from loss. This reminded me of how people can value their "stuff" more than people sometimes. But in the end, we learn how to care about each other better from the mistakes of others! Thank you for this amazing walk-through time! You have a very soothing voice and it makes it a pleasure to watch!
I am doing the same thing right now!
This was someone’s life. How precious life is. Fascinating

General Lee was in the north when the CW broke out. He said he couldn't fight against Virginia so became a General in the southern army. He was the best general in the war.
This guy just came over the border and is telling American history what a dork.
@@dragonflydreamer7658 You're deflecting from your own historical ignorance by falsely claiming that a person "just came over the border", therefore upon your word alone, without evidence, that person is wrong. I have studied the Civil War in an unbiased fashion for the past 30 years. The Civil War was far deeper than that whole watered-down, one-sided virtue signal version you had hammered into your soft head in school. You've been taught to believe it was about the North freeing the slaves.... while ignoring that while the North made that claim, they continued a war against every native tribe out west to either annihilate or round up into prison land plots. So, this claim of "every man being equal" was just Union lip-service for public support. The war was about a radical restructuring and expansion of government. With that said, you seriously need to study and think deeper, instead of just regurgitating what feels good and seems popular.
Wasn't really the best if he lost though
@@f1nch1312you don't understand how much more money and equipment the north had in comparison.
@@f1nch1312 The war was lost by the south because the generals under General Lee at Gettysburg didn't wait for his orders. Very sad. He truly was a geat general.
After the Civil War General Lee became the President of Washington College where he lived on campus. His home in Arlington Va. became a graveyard where the US government wanted the consequences of war to canvas his property. Lee would make a point to march out of step the rest of his life and did not want to be remembered as a hero. As for General Grant, he never had a harsh word to say about him.
They were close friends, on opposite sides.
I read somewhere that Robert E. Lee wasn't initially interested in becoming a Confederate soldier, let alone a General. If you have read something similar, please respond.
@@catherineoneal1030 actually that's true. Robert E Lee was a US Military Officer. Colonel Robert E. Lee stormed Brown's position in the arsenal's enginehouse and captured or killed most of his force. Lee struggled with the decision on which side to fight. Country or State. When it came down to it he decided his loyalty was with the stae of Virginia.
@@gregleonard7391 Thank you for clearing this up historically. I knew that Lee started out as a US Military soldier, and was conflicted about who to fight for, but was foggy on the details. You gave me the verification and details I was lacking. Again, many thanks!
Dude that is awesome. I never knew that man!
When my great aunt and uncle died, their daughter couldn’t bring herself to deal with their things so left it sitting for her sons to deal with it after her passing. She’s 100 now and the house is still standing…somewhat!
The construction of this home is amazing. It was built way back in the day when a REAL home was built sturdy with no rain damage visible. The woodwork alone looks like it was erected yesterday. Magnificent. I gather that these items were packed up with the intention of being moved, but something might have occurred at the last minute that caused them to abandon everything. On the edge of my chair, I kept thinking that you would hear a voice of someone who discovered you there as an intruder. I appreciate the fact that you respected their belongings; you are a good person and thank you for that.
These possessions are much older than would belong to a couple married in 1969. I was married in 1968 and we had no such possessions. Some of the antiques date several generations prior and could have been inherited or each generation occupied this home consecutively and precious items were kept. TH-camr is right, this is like a museum. It would be fascinating to put all the pieces together. The medicine cabinet holds very old bottles and seem to be out of place. Thank you for the tour.
I would say that some of the antiques are as old as the house maybe the couple inherited the house in 1968
I was going to say the same…I was also married in 1968 and that stuff was way, way older.
@@judymurray191Yes I noticed he said the mortgage document was dated 1934😊

That is crazy, i am almost certain I've been in this house and knew the old couple and daughter. My Father was a Baptist preacher, this couple went to the church, when I was 10 or 12 we are Sunday dinner with them, and watched wizard of oz in the room on the right. Wow, I've never forgotten how that old place was all wood and how tight it all was. Great find. I'm no longer down there, not sure what happened with them.
Where is this house I want to try to save it
Cool to look back on memories!
@billywilliams2521 I find it fascinating that he has the backstory of the family and that they were running from their history. It appears the yards are kept from overgrowth and with as much daylight as we can see through the doors etc there isn’t much dust. I’m a fairly educated individual and am from the humid south. I reckon I have extreme doubts as to this place being “abandoned “ per se. Would you k own if the back story was accurate?
@sammiller1699 it has been so many years, the family that I sort of knew lived there and farmed some. The daughter was a couple years older, always came off as strange though.
It's like a time capsule, but there's still some modern looking things, too. It would be interesting to know why everything was left. Even if they didn't want the memories, those antiques would be worth the trouble cleaning them up and selling them. An auctioneer or estate company could even go through and do the work. The house itself is a treasure. It would also be worth the effort to get back into shape for someone willing to do the work and spend the money. From what we're seeing on video, anyway, it doesn't look too bad except for a few rooms. We don't see too many houses like this in my area. If there's an old farmhouse that's abandoned or starting to look unsafe, they get torn down, and new homes are built, seldom are the properties left vacant. I'm sure someone comes upon the home and wants the land and / or house and digs around land plat maps for the owners and makes a deal. It's really a neat video.
Thank you so much for this video, it is the best of its kind that I have seen, BY FAR. You are well-spoken, your voice is soothing to hear, you aren't rushing around and jerking the camera all about, and you add an element of dignity and respect for the home and the former occupants that is sorely lacking in many videos by other posters. I've grown quite weary of those videos where a loud pack of frat boys storms on through an old home, place, etc. like it is a keg party, and every third word they speak is, "DU-UDE!!!"
But, I must confess, I did this very exact (du-ude!) thing while watching your video. You see, when you got to the kitchen area in this video, I was almost jumping out of my seat over the "HOME COMFORT" wood/coal burning kitchen stove, because...I have the EXACT same stove in my home! Yep, still in use today, and there is a fire burning in it as I type this. I use it to cook my meals and heat my home. It is great when the power goes out. I only wish it was in as good condition as the one in your video. Now I know what parts are missing on my trusty Home Comfort. You made my day!
Nice that you shared this with us - and even nicer that you're so respectful of those whose home this was. Thank you.
Always makes me so sad seeing old homes still full of memories. Hard to believe there is no living grandchildren that would want some of those antiques. Think of the Christmass and Thanksgivings everyone laughing. Life goes by to quickly enjoys your days.
It’s very sad that the kids and or grandkids just don’t want anything in that house!?!?!😢
I saw bibles and a wooden sign with Jesus's name inscribed on it. I just hope that truly knew Him and were saved. The Mans Picture in the entry hall above the book case looked like a preacher to me, maybe , maybe not. But he had that look. An esteemed man by the Family for such a prominate spot.
Things of the world grow coldly dim in the Light of His Glory and grace... If everyone could just experiance His Presence and Glory one time, you would be forever changed. It is absolutely possible too.
Wow what a remarkable beautiful place 😍 ❤️ ❤❤
Id love to buy that whole place the labd looked beautiful as well.. im in total aweee im a huge antique collector.. one my favorite things to do is go to estate sales .. i collect old keys ive got some that date bk in the 1800s ..
And holy wow the medicine cabinet was a shocker .. im so in love w this home its just so beautiful
The family should really get antiques dealers or pickers in as there are thousands of dollars worth of furniture in there. Tiger oak is still quite valuable and getting rare. The house could be restored...if done soon. This is a part of history. Thank you for taking the time to do this and sharing it.
Oh and all that stone wear in the kitchen & I swear I saw some Native American basketry; I’ll have to scroll back.

@@tracy85777 that happened to me too my ex husbands family had more money then me and the asshole got the house.

Hello Jeremy. Very interesting house and contents. But I would like to point out that you misidentified many objects and even the type of wood things are made out of. The bowl and pitchers that you said you would find in France, were very commonplace around the world. They were your water and wash basin before there was indoor bathrooms with running water. Also, the kitchen was very much an American type kitchen with a wood burning stove. That house was electrified long after it had already been built. So every form of heat and light came from flame. Some of the items that were truly exceptional there were ones you simply passed up. I wish I had been there with you to educate you on antiques and their use.
I agree…. Some further education would help him. But he does tour some amazing things!
Sorry about the typos.
@@sandyshores5657 i turned off the audio. i don't watch these to hear opinions on, or against anything on Gods Green Earth.
. people just don't care enough to research history. Like one of the first slave owners was a black man. He was one of the richest men in the colonies and one of the largest land owners. They don't teach that in school! And the war between the states.... slavery was an excuse for war. There were several other issues going on.
Yes. You'd think, if someone was going to create a channel doing this, they would have had an interest in architecture, antiques, and old things, first. Therefore, they'd naturally be reading books on their uses, how/with what materials they're made, and what the basic values are. You'd most likely be drawn to antique stores, markets, and auctions & ask questions. (People who love antiques usually LOVE to chat about them, so you'd be soaking up knowledge.) Most people, driven by curiousity, would be looking up items online after each tour, to educate themself, so they'd be able to point out the items in the future, and explain what their basic historical timeline and uses, were, etc. You'd be learning as you go, and enthusiastically sharing what you've learned, because you would realize that it would make your videos WAY more interesting to your subscribers, and will help grow your channel.
An amazingly well built home, love all the wood! You can tell several generations have been here as there are many items from when I grew up in the 60’s and newer items as well. I’m not sure why, but feel like this may have been a doctors home in early times, just a strong feeling. Common people couldn’t afford many of these things. There sure are some awesome pieces there…if walls could talk, the stories they’d tell
I thank you for going through the medicine cabinet . That was so great. That next room looked like it had a doctor’s bag in it. Their pictures looked modern but obviously they were from a long time ago. Excellent explore, Jeremy. Loved it so much
Thàts the first place id check
I liked the medicine cabinet wow ...
I thought the same thing
I guess the family took all the laudunum.
@@julianaadams5751 😂😂
I can't believe it hasn't been vandalized and that everything has been left. Its a beautiful house.
That's what I keepthinking. How was it saved from looters or antique dealers.
Unfortunately now that this has been brought to lite I’m sure people will be seeking it out to loot now
I was thinking the same thing
The owner lives in the house next door, I looked up all the names and found location, it's not truly abandoned, owner is alive on the grounds.
I can’t believe children would just let all that go. I kept everything of my heritage. I gave a lot away to charity because I did not have room for it. But I went through everything including my mommys underpants. I just can’t fathom it. 😮
When I was a teenager, we moved into an old victorian style farm house that was still set up like the family had literally just left for the day. Clothes in the dressers and closets, hairbrushes, mirrors, and combs on the dressers. It was literally like stepping back in time. This was in the 80s and everything in the house was from the mid 50s at the latest. The calendar was May of 1955. About 3 months after we had been living there, the elderly neighbor across the street told us that the family that lived there was killed in a car accident on the way to church in the spring of 1955. The extended family wasn't interested in any of their things but had kept paying taxes on the property. Strange.
How sad. But at least y’all made it your home and brought life into it. That’s a good thing! ❤
That's so sad.... better for the family that no one was left behind with heartache at loss of losing their family...
Was there ghosts?
@@karenakerr611 Same question I was going to ask. I live in a 1900 Victorian hose and there are ghosts but thank God, they are benevolent.
Wow
I lived in a house that was built in the 1770's for seventeen years. I worked very hard to make it look presentable but the walls were plaster with horse hair insulation so they were hard to paint. I started visiting antique stores to find some old gems and found quite a few. My favorites were linens including curtains and old table lamps. When the walls started peeling and the ceilings started bowing and my husband wouldn't do anything about it, I moved back Into my house. I'm telling you this because the things you love are the exact things I love in these old homes. There's quite a few of them here in farm country, PA. Thanks for your great stories as you go through these old homes!!
To be a fly on the wall there beforehand and just of a book you could write
Think
Yes, very intriguing. We can learn so much from those that came before us.
We use to live in an old farm house that we rented. When we were moving out I attempted to repair some of the cracks in the plaster. It was during the repair that I saw reddish hair poking out of the plaster. At first I thought I had discovered a dead body that someone in years past had hidden behind the plaster.😯 Imagine my relief when I learned that it was probably horse hair that had been mixed in the plaster to help bind it together. 😅
Almost every house around me has plaster with house hair and no problems with it.
One thing about exploring some old house or barn you see it's best to ask the property owner or land owner first. They don't care for people roaming around without at least asking and being nice about it
This house is amazing! So many generations stuffed in this gem. I really wish you opened the medicine bag!!! I feel like this house has not been “abandoned” to long as it’s in great condition. Maybe not lived in, but definitely not truly “abandoned” in my opinion. Absolute love!
How do you know what the children of the couple thought or felt or why they left? Did you speak to them? Or is this just what you assume? To make your video more interesting
I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one questioning that. I think he did it just to add some drama to his story. Just like the twice said comment about the non "creepy" photo of a man that was in the bedroom.
Totally agree with you. People not from the South refuse to accept our rich history especially about the Civil War. It’s ignorance and northern pride.
I wondered the same thing. I was able to find the owner of the house, she lives on the property in a different house. I wonder if he also figured that out and talked with her?
@@Dianne-it3cfwe really don’t need to share our history with them. But they keep moving here judging and destroying things they don’t understand. Buts what’s new, the Yankees spread freedom to us in the South by burning it to the ground, the spread freedom to the American Indian shortly after, then on and on, spread it to Iraq, Afghanistan, every spreading their Yankee view of the world that nobody wants. Funny thing is my house was built in 1818 and we still fly the Flag and Robert E. Lee, Jackson and Stuart are still on the walls.
Notice the craftsmanship of the interior of this house
It would not take much to bring back this house to life and preserve such historical craftsmanship
I wish I could find something like this and research the true history of this place
Great job showing us this time capsule 😊
For some reason, these older ones like this, always make me much sadder than newer places.
I have watched a lot of videos of this kind, but never have I been so captivated as I have with this one. The old saying "If walls could talk" there would probably not be enough years in a decade to tell its story.
I think part of the reason it resonates with me is because this is in our own country, and seems to span the ages of our history! God bless the souls who lived there, and may new life return to it.
Just curious as to your rationale. You didn’t want to show pictures from the trunk, but you showed the children’s photo on the wall and the wedding photo in the drawer.
Loved the trip back in time!
This gives me chills. I would love to sit with these folks and hear their story❤
@@dwaynedovel4595 White people always write history to make themselves look like heroes.
Makes me feel sad.
@@ericscott5224 me too
I wouldn't.
Someone said they died in a car wreck going to church
I contacted Alabama historical commission. For it to be saved, must be nominated to be saved by Residents of Alabama. To me this place has significant historical value.
Thank you so much. I agree, this home is a treasure and should be preserved from a historical perspective. It's a time capsule, containing so many beautiful & invaluable antiques.
Little🥿 ~ Alabama
What can we do to get it listed historial? I too, live in Alabama. I would be glad to sign whatever I need too to help❗
🇺🇸 ❤️ 🇺🇸
How could you do that when he never says where a place is so someone could possibly purchase and restore them?
They still may have family members a live.
That’s not how it works.
The Robert E. Lee framed print on the wall near the beginning of the video looks to be recently placed there. The "book" with the confederate flag on the cover is actually part of a set of 33 rpm records released by columbia records featuring music of the civil war period. The other half of the set is the "Union" version. Obviously the music was performed and recorded in the mid 1900's when these albums were released.
This is truly one of the most memorable, unforgettable videos I have ever seen, Almost like stepping back into the past. Thank you for sharing.
As a native Alabamian I must say this is my favorite tour so far. I would love to be able to talk to the children who grew up in this house (who are no doubt older than myself by now). They must want nothing to do with their past seeing as how they haven't went back to get any of this stuff.
@@sheilad83 I doubt that, even though I don't know for sure. They obviously haven't been there in years and they would profit more off of this stuff by doing something with it now, instead of when...when they die? Their kids aren't going to want this stuff they have likely never seen. But, who knows. I live in Panama City Beach, Florida now, but i was born and raised in Decatur. Morgan County. The great state of Alabama!
@@user-vr1rl4mc6z and that was probably someone’s grandfather. Doubt he’d say his own was “creepy.” Wow.
@@user-vr1rl4mc6z Thank you! I agree! It seems the US takes more flack than any country where our history is concerned, especially the South. I always watch Jeremy's explorations and truly enjoy them because I like his knowledge and his genuine love of these homes but this one I didn't care for the narrative. Loved the house though.
@@southerngal4593 apparently he's afraid of the woke backlash.🤦♀️ Which no one should be afraid of anymore because it's nothing but a radical Marxist few that stir up trouble.
It doesn't have anything to do with their past. More than likely it's the fact that their children probably don't appreciate old, well-made things.🤷♀️ For some reason there's a lot of people here in America now that are obsessed with the newest chinese-made junk they can buy so they can keep up with the Joneses.🤦♀️
Something bad has happened to leave it like this. These things are too valuable to leave behind. Someone is also keeping the yard trimmed. Notice the grass is very tall around the vehicles but is perfectly groomed elsewhere. It should all be waist high.
Nothing happened. I was able to look up the owner, she lives on the property but in a newer house.
@nodiggity8497 Does she know he was going through her house?
Someone was fairly well to do at one time. A home with land, photos and fine furnishings. Very blessed.
Fantastic explore Jeremy, you always deliver the very best but this one exceeds all expectations. All that treasure, worth a fortune. Might have to watch this over again, loved it! So much appreciation for showing this original old house which deserves to be saved.❤
At 29:26 you can sure tell that you don't know your antiques very well. It's called a wash basen. People would wash their face and hands in it like a sink in modern days.
The baby stroller is actually called a "Pram" which date's back to the mid 1800's. If the pram in this old house has 3 wheels, then it's pre 1920's. As for the rest of the house, it's so awesome looking and so well preserved. Thank you for sharing this video...
"Pram", was actually the abbreviation of "perambulator". Over time we've either abbreviated (like brassiere to bra) or completely lost words (like Aviatrix for a female pilot). Or both + (Water closet to WC to toilet to loo)!
Perambulator actually👍
And they are still called Pram's in the UK. Nobody over there calls them baby stroller's or baby carriages.
Interesting. Like our word in the USA "Trash" is unwanted household goods or things of no value to throw away... I believe the UK word is, "Rubbish". Please correct me if I'm wrong. @@Yosef_Morrison
@@Adoptiveangel Yes, trash is to the dump as rubbish is to the tip. "Take it to the rubbish tip." I remember a luncheon once at a friends once where an American guest asked for a napkin and a few giggles erupted. In England, they use a French word, "serviette" for what is called a dinner napkin in the States. To Brit's a napkin is something a fertile woman uses once a month or it could reference a "nappie" which is a baby diaper. What fun!
I love the tongue and groove woodwork throughout. The antiques are amazing. My guess is the mom is in a nursing home and the place is tied up between kids fussing over personal things and the nursing home laying claim to everything as they do in AL. Thank you for bringing us along. ❤
Someone must be keeping the property taxes paid...?
@@PrairieNightMoon Tied up in tax sale? It could be. It’s sad to see the home unoccupied. I hope it doesn’t go to rot.
a nursing home can lay claim to the property of their patients??
@@ouestlelivre In Alabama they do. And they will even if the property is put in another’s name, IF that didn’t happen a certain number of years *before* the owner needs to enter a nursing home. The same goes for any $$ from the sell of properties.
So, aging owners have to give over their property or sell it while still able to take care of themselves/their properties, or the whole family loses. It’s very difficult to give over ownership years ahead, plus not knowing when that time might be.
This isn’t really made public knowledge in Alabama and nursing homes claim lots of properties from astounded, sad, families. They say it goes toward future care. The senior citizen could pass away before any great amount of care is given. Plus, in Alabama, the nursing home gets all of the senior’s Social Security/retirement except $30.00 a month-and they have to pay for hair cuts and personal needs out of that.
I’ve seen it happen more than once, in Alabama. I don’t live there now, but that’s how it was about five years ago.
That's horrendous for the families, my god!
Ironically, I noticed a book titled "Ghosts along the Mississippi" which is a photographic text book charting the decaying houses of Louisiana. The cabinet on which it sits was made by a Scottish thread company called J & P coats. The cabinet was likely intended to store threads.
I noticed the J &P coats also, glad you pointed it out, I’m sure someone did a lot of sewing
Calomel aka "mercurous chloride" was a medicine commonly used during the Civil War (not much modern day usage) I must admit that the medicine cabinet was my favorite part of this journey. But I'm sad you didn't explore the doctor's bag, they most likely had a Civil War physician in the family since many of those meds were abandoned due to toxicity during the turn of the century.
yes, I was thinking the same thing with the doctor's bag!
YES, that medicine 💉 Bag, for sure, needs a look.
Same here!! Wished we could have seen inside the Dr's bag!!
That's what I was thinking too!
Did you ever find the owners? This is worth a follow up. I feel we as viewers are left hanging with too many questions, too many whys and where's.
Same I'm like how does he even have access to do this does he do it like pickers style just door knock. ...
What a joke, not very convincing. Guy shouldn't be aloud to comment on stuff he knows nothing about. His guesses are stupid and why are things so creepy when he's trying to go for creepy with his creepy ignorant knowledge,creepy music and lack lustered stupid surprise of everything. My god get someone that's not so obvious and ignorant. Hope this isn't a phony series. Dear God.
ENJOYED THIS POST JEREMY... Thanks for being respectful of the family's privacy & the many items that were left behind.
I still wished to see the faces, someone from the family could have claimed these treasures. Do you leave things or get them appraised?
I sooo enjoyed this home. I also appreciate the respect you give the family (deceased/living). It was a home well lived in and the history they shared. And the mystery as to why so many personal and antiques just left behind. Thanks for the tour, Jeremy!
Well, George and Joyce may have lived and raised a family in the home, but I'm guessing that house belonged to someone's great grandparents. They would be of a younger generation than these antiques belonged to. Kudos to them for preserving and taking care of all those beautiful antiques.
It’s so sad family just leaves all that behind. That was someone’s memories and things they cherished. So so sad.
Specially the vehicles…
The owner is alive living in the house next to it.
There is a sadness about this house.i felt it during this video.i never understood why people walk off and leave everything.this place to me is worth saving.Thank you for bringing us along.loved the tour of this place Thanks again
It looks to me like someone had an antique shop that closed and they filled the parents or grandparents home with these amazing items. I had a similar shop at one time.
The J&P Coats on the bureau with all the paperwork became Coats and Clark and they made spools of thread among other sewing items.The wicker type fancy chairs are mid 1800s. This whole place is a treasure of antiques. What a wonderful journey presented with much respect.
I agree.. I got married I 1962 and things were MUCH more modern than this. This looks like my great grandparents home. Beautiful but we didn't live like this in the 60s.
@@angiejackson5340
Well said!! I was only 10 when you got married. My grandma was born in 1896 and was in my life every day as she was my best friend also. She died at 103 in 1999 and I was 47. I was so lucky to have her for so many years. But this home would've belonged not to someone her age but of her parents. Meaning my great grandparents just like you stated. Thank you for speaking up. I agree with everything you said.
I thought perhaps they sold antiques from this home at one time.
The long hall was a breeze way, old school A.C. In the summer both doors stayed open to help keep the house cool. And that's what I love about the south.
I'm sure neither the North or the South wanted that war. At times it was brother against brother. I'm in the north but adore the South!❤
I agree, im from the south and he seems to keep demonizing southern people. He sounds like a social justice warrior. If not for the history in the house i couldn't keep listening to his hate to the simple southerners raised in that era.
suggest wearing gloves.
I can imagine how beautiful that house was all set up and being lived in. I just love that furniture and those old picture frames.
Wow. The old medicine cabinet is a treasure trove. That would be an interesting segment all by itself, if presented by someone who knows about all of those old pharmaceuticals. Watched a video once of a guy that dug up the back yard of an old suburban property originating from a time/place when people disposed of their trash on their own properties. And he was going over all the concoctions that people were using back in the day. It was very interesting.
One of the most beautiful homes I’ve seen in a long time. I love the wood and doors looking front to back. The couple who lived here either collected or inherited a treasure trove of antiques. As for history, love is the answer.
That is called a shotgun house when you can see straight thru. Mostly seen in New Orleans
The doors were set up that way to bring in firewood with a horse or mule. Straight line through.
As a thought, it'd be nice to see someone (thinking you, Jeremy) buy this place. Then working thru all the items, rehoming/selling much of it, fixing and restoring the house, and vehicles would make one awesome series on YT! I know, I've been absolutely engrossed in a couple such happenings ( Curiosity Inc).
This place is amazing, as is the treasures it holds. Thank you so much for the tour.
I dunno if Jeremy should be the buyer as he seems to be triggered by his indoctrination-based understanding of certain contents.
@@ExplorerBe Yes , he would burn that flag , the gun rack and some books with his narrow mindedness .
idk why i feel so sad i want to cry, all the beautiful stuff left behind, the house seem so cozy
I wish I was younger and could own that house and all it's contents. That's right up my alley. I would love that! Can u imagine lace curtains blowing in the breeze, a pie sitting in the kitchen cooling? Oh my gosh...so many things pop into my mind. Handmade quilts on the beds with crisp white linens. I could go on and on. Thanks for doing this video but I would like to know why everything was left and what they are going to do with all those beautiful things.
The items in the home are awesome. The structure itself is unbelievable. I love the home.
What will become of the house and its contents?
Why would the family abandon all those?
The houses with the front door & hallway straight to the back door were called “shotgun houses” meaning you could shoot a shotgun straight thru the front door of the house, out the back door & never hit anything in the house. Why you would want to do that, I don’t know? Great video.
It would be refreshing to hear a commentary without political opinions included.
I am amazed some young People has not destroyed it. It is great to see all the stuff from the Past. Thank You for showing us around this old home!
Amazing to see those old Books, what a treasure.
Many southern leaders were heroes of their time. Please don't negate that fact. Also, any propaganda found in the South, you'll find equally in the North. Robert E Lee was a scholar and a gentleman, Sherman on the other hand was a cruel, beast of a man. Before anyone jumps - I was raised 3 miles from DC. Family in NY, NJ, VA, MD, NV, CA, WA. Yankees, Rebels and Westerners galore.
What an incredible find! I’ve never seen so many antiques and ‘finer things’ in one home! When I saw all the medicines in the cabinet, it made me wonder could this be a home of a Dr.? So many things and not disturbed for many years, like a museum, amazing! Thanks for sharing it, I’m so glad you are documenting this, as some day it will be gone!
I was thinking the same thing when I saw the Doctors bag.
Yeah he missed the doctors bag in the closet! I was hoping he’d open it!! I’m sure a doctor lived there.
Those medicines looked like they came from a traveling doctor from mid 1800
Calcium gluconate? syringe? could someone there have been diabetic?
I saw a doctor's black case sitting on a table.
I hope the family does something with these antiques so they are not lost to decay (maybe you can update later about this) the history was very interesting, thanks for taking us in with you and your respectful way of sharing it
I worked in antiques for quite some time. This is a virtual treasure trove. The fact this place hasn't been ransacked is a genuine miracle. But the overwhelming sadness of its complete abandonment physically hurts.
The owner is alive and lives on the property in a different house.
Did Anyone Else Notice how nearly Dust Free this house is???
and no mouse poops about either.. odd thing to notice I know, but, I did notice that.. LOL
I noticed that most of these "abandoned" houses are pretty much dust free...but, I love to see them.
The vase on the mantle looks as if it had been dusted that morning
And not that many cobwebs?!
And very clean cushions on the settee
Saludos,
This place is quite special, one of the more interesting places I have had the privilege of seeing anyone explore!
I don't think we have the right.... no one should pass judgement on the prior tenants.... what was found there cannot be construed as racist, and it does no good trying to erase history.
I could have watched an all day exploration of this particular house!
Great film, Thanks and Cheers!
Loved watching you restore this beautiful doll and was so delighted watching your cleaning techniques , media mixtures, antique utensils, beautiful hand crank, (sewing skills) patience and the end results.. Did I leave anything out? I absolutely loved your restoration skills. You are a very talented artist.
Wow, Jeremy! I am so happy I found your channel. What incredible mysteries you are exploring with respect, skill and story. Incredible work.
I liked the house but didn't appreciate the judgmental slant on rewritten abridged history.
Yeah, this guy read too much free masonic curriculum in satanic Publix school.
Them old books has truth they will never teach you in school and surpress.
Very judgmental, I’d be careful you don’t try to rewrite the history that people lived and fought through. As Americans we have come a long way and your slant doesn’t sit well.
@@kymease I use judgement every day on what to eat, what to wear, what to spend money on and what to believe.
@@rascalme9754good use your judgment. But that is the judgment that matters to only you. His is a belief system that tries to erase history as uncomfortable as it might be. It is still our history that everyone should know. And yes there were heroes on both sides, including Generals. Everyone just needs to quit being pussies and learn. Can you imagine if these same people had to fight today. Back then you had to be a MAN at a very early age.
I'm in awe!!!! All of that wood!!! Love the wood walls!!! Love the antique wood furniture!!!! Thanks for taking us for a journey!!!
This was misleading. U make it look and sound as if people in the 60s lived like this. THEY DID NOT. I'M 78 YRS old I got married in 1962 @ 17 yrs old we didn't live like this. Looks like my great grandparents home. Please do ur research before u start making a video.
You're looking through someone's home. Someone from a different time. I'm disappointed that you can't just see it for history without feeling the need for the never ending condemnation and social commentary.
Thank you for sharing and depicting history correctly and with kindness. It blows me away that there are so many houses like this with so much history and story left behind.
Fascinating explore, I thoroughly enjoyed every inch of this house. I loved all the antique furniture and the stove, wow! It is so sad to see all this left behind. Thank you for being so respectful of the family's privacy.
That’s a fine house . It’s built out of heart pine . In my opinion , grown children just are too lazy to go through their parents house. They know it can just sit there . I hate it when I hear folks say “Oh I just can’t bear it.” …. It’s usually because they don’t want it , they don’t want anybody else to have it either . The people that lived in that house were fine upstanding people that made enough money to have hobbies ( race ) and ride motorcycles . Please do not smear their memory by apologizing for their way of life and beliefs .
Thank you. You were much nicer than I was.
Unfortunately the younger generation don't want to know history and I find that pretty sad.
Exactly. By denying history, we're destined to repeat it..
@@hollyprincipato3287They want to know true history. Not fairy tales where villans are deemed heroes.
OMG!! all the woodwork!!! Those beds alone!!! WOW!!! someone really needs to preserve this gorgeous house and all the craftmanship in it!!! Id LOVE to have this home in my family. Pass it on and make happier memories for those walls to protect!
Its amazing how well preserved alot of that stuff is!! I keep seeing pieces i would LOVE to have!!! ❤😊
Fascinating. I am amazed the house was not looted. There is so many valuable items in there.
Same here it's so nice to watch it, hi how are you I do hope you're doing well?
Good evening Jeremy and everyone! I got the notification for the premier so late I've had to watch again!!That house was INCREDIBLE - a real time capsule and I can understand the sensitivity some Americans might feel vis a vis the Confederacy story. Absolutely brilliant video Jeremy. I don't know what you did before discovering urbex but your command of the language, both written and spoken, is excellent.

He totally disrespected the people living in the South.
@@cranmer1959 I was offended by the reference to Hitler. He overstepped a boundary line there. Very disrespectful and totally misleading. He needs to study American history.

All of this fake outrage is a bit much. My ancestors fought for the South. They were most likely sharecroppers and farmers, not plantation owners. It was a different time.
I felt a sense of great sadness eminating from that home. I hope I was not only one who felt it.
It was definitely very sad
I did too.
Thought it was just me. 😢
@@stellashepherd3229 I can tell that the people live there valued the things inside greatly. Something terrible must have happened to make them give up on it.
You weren't.
That photograph was prominently placed and the person highly valued..
We live in my husbands 5th generation farmhouse built in early 1800s including much of the items in this house in Alabama. I often think how fragile life is and making best decisions to who and how your estate gets handled for when you are no longer able to or have passed
Thank you Jeremy, your empathy for the past is what some of this country should feel. God Bless America these next 4 years.
