    Great video of the area, I had hiked that area about 7 years ago and couldn't find any evedence of railroad tracks. They have probably been covered over from many years of foliage. I have also hiked the Twin Mtn area of Little River looking for the old railroad, and have found very little clues. I've come to belive the railroad probably ripped them all out.

    Wow that is so cool. I am a big fan of old almost forgotten towns. Thank you two for showing us this one.

    Thanks for your comment and you are welcome. We found it very interesting too.

    I remember checking this out about 15-20 years ago. I was wondering if the safe was still there! (Probably too heavy for someone to take out..). Thank you for all of the additional information and context.

      You are welcome. We really enjoyed our visit there. 😃

    I spent 24 yrs in those hills, moved away. You post this info for scavengers to find. Understand when you go into the woods on Govt Land Like that you aren't supposed to take things out...
    In the summer time about July down along the water and around the foundations there are swarms of BEE HIVES and bears and Raspberries. Same up off Bear Notch Road. There are whole reserviors for those who have the patience to follow the water. Its the easiest way in and out of many nice places. I miss it. I wish I had given tours to all I had found while living there. I have given directions to a couple people to some very private places. Another fun thing is to CROSS COUNTRY SKI up frozen streams in the middle of winter. You go places you will never go in summer. Course, you must go when its 10 or 15 below zero, but its worth it. Ethan's Pond is a fun destination if you take the dry creek bed. Caution to going anywhere into the depth of the forest when there is rain in the forecast because walking down WET SLIPPERY SLOPES is kind of hazardous.

      Nice info Mel, Thanks. We generally don't give out any info on locations unless they are already well known. We do love the area , there is so much to see and find in the mountains. 😀

    Hey Guys, thanks for sharing! I'll be going up to check it out this weekend with my buddy who lives in NH and then on to the EB&L RR logging camps! That is a great video! Keep up the good work Robbie

    9:55 That could be a meat dehydrating / smoking box. I saw the town safe when i was there. It’s close to the roaad.

    • @WeRmudfun
      @WeRmudfun  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for your input on what the box could be, appreciate your comment. The safe is really close to the street. 😀

    great video guys look forward to looking at some more I was up there in the 80's going through the history that was left behind I didn't know all the history about the town just knew that it was an old Sawmill town thank you for sharing your video

    • @WeRmudfun

      +Ed Otoole Thanks for your comment Ed. Livermore is a great little ghost town with interesting history.

    Wouldn't surprise me if people moved in after the town and logging ended, even temporary. Have fun exploring...

  • @ethbrogston
    @ethbrogston 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Crazy! I went here to swim in the river and had no clue I was in an abandoned ghost town! That’s crazy to me, but I’m going back this summer so I can’t wait to explore some of this when I come back

    • @WeRmudfun
      @WeRmudfun  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      It is a very cool place to explore. Enjoy your next visit. :)

    Thoroughly enjoyed your video. Spent summers just over the border in Denmark, Me and love that kind of stuff. Always sad to think of such once-vibrant towns now abandoned and reclaimed by Nature. Supposedly the first settlement of Denmark was abandoned due to some sort of epidemic and its remains are still out there in the woods somewhere. Never found it. Thanks.

    • @WeRmudfun
      @WeRmudfun  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for your comment! :) Glad you enjoyed the video. We just finished posting the Abandoned town of Dana, Ma due to the Quabbin Reservoir. 4 towns that no longer exist because Boston needed water. We're adding Demark to our to-do list. :) Link for Town of Dana... th-cam.com/video/AcXw4atvFVI/w-d-xo.html

    • @billb49
      @billb49 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      The Denmark first settlement may be more myth than fact. I could not find any historical record of it. Just stories some old timers told us when we were kids.

    • @WeRmudfun
      @WeRmudfun  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ok, we won't put it high on the list then, may do a little research though.

    Cool video, I used to spend a lot of time up that way fishing the Sawyer River and Sawyer Pond. You might find the ghost town on Sandwich Notch Road interesting. It's much older and harder to find but the old cellar holes are still there.

    8:48 looks like a chicken feeder or some other animal. The left side is bottom holding hay etc. the right side to keep the rain off.

    @f1y7rap 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    the metal box-thing at 9:30 was likely a smoker from what I could see. Given the time period, smoking meat for preservation would have been a big thing

    • @WeRmudfun
      @WeRmudfun  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +f1y7rap WOW Thanks for the info, we had no clue what that was for. :)

      No, we must have missed that.

    thanks for a great video....really enjoyed it......I posted two videos that I made a long time ago 1964 and 1967.....my earliest memories were with my uncles and my father in the 1950s in the summertime when the Saunder's mansion was still standing and occupied by Mr Nash the lawyer and caretaker....he would come out and talk with us

    • @WeRmudfun
      @WeRmudfun  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Is this the sawyer river and is that swimming hole brandy went in easily accessible? Looks like a nice area! Great video

    • @WeRmudfun
      @WeRmudfun  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks. Yes, that is Sawyer River and it was pretty easy to get too. There are several places you can swim at, just follow along the river.

    • @WeRmudfun
      @WeRmudfun  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Stan Wilson We didn't see any real signs of the railroad itself while we were there.

    • @WeRmudfun
      @WeRmudfun  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Follow the road up from RT 302 until you come to the only house on the left. The mill is right after it.

    • @WeRmudfun

      As far as we have been able to determine, we believe it is.

    • @melfarm9109

    How did you pick up the trail to find the foundations?

    • @WeRmudfun
      @WeRmudfun  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      We bushwhacked from the road and were able to locate them all. Some are pretty dense, but they are there. We had a hand drawn map that you see in the video that helps knowing which foundation was which.

      +Stan Wilson To clarify, we haven't yet followed the old railroad bed the whole way out of Livermore. We have found a couple of the old camps, but there are no signs of the railroad in the town of Livermore or the remains of Livermore, I should say. We'll probably explore the rest of the camps next year.

    • @WeRmudfun
      @WeRmudfun  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      A lot of people don't realize they drive right by it on their way to hike Mount Carrigain. I believe you want Mount Waternomee for the bomber crash site. :)

    At about 2 minutes 15 seconds in you mention that you're on private property. But there's no actual residents there. Who owns the property but doesn't live there?

    • @WeRmudfun
      @WeRmudfun  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Matthew Spencer-Kociol We said the piping was on private property, we were standing in the river and used the zoom to get that footage. The Old Saunders Mansion used to be there, but now a privately owned cottage sits on the property.
