- Shawnee, Ohio...WOW! This place looks like it's been frozen in time, and has a very haunting feel to it. At a quick glance Main Street looks like a total ghost town, looking into it further, this is home to 506 residents. Founded in 1872, and located in Perry County in the Southern part of Ohio, this was a booming coal mine area. Coal mining, furnaces, and brick factories were a large part of the driving force for the economy. Banks, saloons, stores, a theater...this place had it all. After the 1930's era, the boom came to an end. Today, very little is left. Much of it is abandoned, falling apart, and in need of repair. For anyone who stays here the amenities are pretty much non existent, commutes to work are long, unemployment rate is an unheard of 34%, and for the most part very remote overall from anything. Much of the land has been purchased and designated as part of the Wayne County National Forest. Let's take a drive and check it out!

Great opening shot: “Fun In The Sun Pools.“ Trying to imagine it in its heyday. 🙁
Very sad that too many parts of our country has come to this.😢
A little creepy to not see a person anywhere.😊
It kinda feels like peacefulness to me..
Well at least the bar has a handicap ramp
Same way in the coalfields of West Virginia. A mirror image of this.😢
Very much!
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
That second building almost looks like an old church, that is the saddest part of these videos, the churches and the schools. This town looks beyond desolate. I love scary old places but I think I would skip this town. Just from the video it seems haunted by bad luck and no hope. Maybe it's the season, but even the trees seem hopeless. I hate to say it, but the word to describe this poor town is hopeless. Very sad and I'm sure the people there would disagree. Thank you for the video and stay safe!!
My home town!!! Wish you could see it for what it is... I love shawnee
I find it to be quite a cool place
I would recommend a drone for overhead photo perspective ...better visual of town layout .....and surrounding area.
Shawnee is a classical century old town that went from boom to bust. It was once a coal and railroad town.
Probably the saddest little town yet...not a single business around or any people for that matter 😢
Isn't this where the Shawnee pottery plant was? Love Shawnee pottery. Beautiful stuff. Great vid.
I believe that was in Zanesville. Shawnee probably had a brick plant or two nearby.
The company actively produced pottery from 1937 - 1961 from its location in Zanesville, Ohio.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
It'd be interesting to see a video on Wheeling, WV
Wheeling will be up in the near future!
Hello..Small towns are over looked sadly... Shawnee Ohio could have its possibilities in 2024 ... Thank you again stay safe in your travels 🙏🏽
I wonder who owns all those abandoned properties?
The town probably because of unpaid taxes
Many big towns has no room for developement ! Where does the taxmoney go ?
Used to love rocky boots........25 years ago
It must be really creepy to be living in one of the houses which are still occupied..
I felt oddly freaked out at this one. I don't know why. 😬😳
Who else gets excited when a new video posts!?🎉😊
You weren't kidding about the roads here. Some of the worst I've seen in your videos. And I saw a bus stop shelter! Hard to believe a small town like this even had/has a bus line. This town looks like it has some redeemable features.
If towns did not rely on one single industry to support the whole town then this would not happen. Several forms of employment need to be established to keep somewhere going through many years. America seems to fail this simple reasoning and hundreds of places are dying out.
Talk about dying out, I’ve not seen a soul walking around in this town yet. Not even a zombie.
looks like a cool western town to me. Sad so much is empty and broken ...
Those old brick roads will eat up the tires. The roads look nostalgic but should be replaced. That may not happen there though.
amazing content as always .. i havent left comment been sick but big fan , mega channel
Hey John I was wondering where ya were. Glad to hear from you! Hope you’re doing better.
Creepy ~ Thanks and Blessings 💓.
Cool old buildings
This is my new favorite channel.
Thanks so much for watching!
This is a really good man, keep at it please!
Thanks for watching!
I drove thru this town last year it was strange
Good Lord.😮
Despite the declining population with about 500 residents now it has absolutely gorgeous countryside, heavily wooded with Wayne national forest nearby. A great idea for that area would be the same done in areas with a decline coal production. Turn it into a beautiful huge all season ATV park ( with strict rules) with riding trails, lodging of cabins & camping areas etc. just like the Hatfield and McCoy riding trails in WV or Ride Royal Blue in TN, and many more. My son who lives about 70 miles from there travels 4-6 hours for riding trails, as there are none like those above in Ohio. Trails such as these completely revitalized those areas, with jobs and infrastructure. Visitors can even ride their ATV’s on the public roads without license’s to restaurants,shops and getting gas.This turned many locals into wealthy businessman.
Real lively joint that Shawnee
Must look alot better at summer !
And this place really is in the middle of nowhere
what a shame....some group needs to buy that town and have an auction of house to be renovated and resold.
It looks like a videogame dam real life fallout
Hello. Could you please tell me what camera you shoot your videos on? Thanks.
It always looked that way. It looks better than it did in the early 80's. Less derelikt homes. A lot of them have been torn down.
...so, a blue paint salesman walked into a bar....
How sad
Horrible 😢
Yeh, but I bet the property taxes are nice and low:)
I always think of the families that once lived in these homes or the businesses that failed. So very sad.
Gotta be southern Ohio -
Oh my
Post Apocalypse. No life
5:40. Is that Bus transit still active
I have an American model/toy train called "The Shawnee Express", made by Thomas in the 1940s. I wonder if it is the same Shawnee...
The brick roads show how old the town really is .
It's sad, reminds of "Green Acres" a little bit.
Das ist wirklich ein Jammer! In den Städten hausen so viele Obdachlose und hier stehen die Häuser leer.
And most of those houses aren't worth fixing
Oh lord
Would love to know how many residents actually live here? Police department? Fire department? Schools?
When u gonna do Columbus Ohio
The audio is ASTOUNDING!
....in the process of making these vids, how many miles do you think you cover in a year?
That's a really good question. Honestly, I don't get to be on the road as much as I'd like to, it can vary greatly. To give somewhat of an answer, it's not uncommon for me to do 600-800 miles in a day.
The cars cost more than the homes???
CIDADE FANTASMA.
Was once a prosperous small town now a bygone recalling there was wonderful school that is now demolished and now the community has in which resulted into a desolated and squalid area
Ohio 💀
It says a lot when the best-looking building in the town is a tavern.
Zombie apocalypse ???
You need to remember the US population is declining
