The bed was there last time i was there. I drove up there from Richmond back in 1980s. Had my 35mm SLR camera. The park guide let me stay in that room after everyone else had left. I tried to take photos. I had been shooting photos all morning. But inside that room, the shutter button refused to work. I felt something mean in that room, so I hauled butt outside. Lol. Walked around a bit and suddenly my camera started working! Everyone should visit that spooky place.
I've heard of Spotsylvania before. And now after I watched Roots 2016 & Googled Kunte Kinte & Alex Haley. I remembered watched Roots(original) when I was a child & now as a adult I fully understand American History. Thank u so much for all u do! ❤ this is very interesting travels that u do.
It's 2-story because of the gallery, aka balcony. I'm guessing it's on 3 sides. From what I've heard, the cemetery or burial ground that surrounds or is behind the church is called the churchyard. But other terms are used as well. I'm in South Jersey, and we have a few old Colonial churches, ranging from a Presbyterian church of 1767 to a Baptist church of 1801, all with great architecture. But I've never seen a church in the Greek cross shape like that. That's very interesting.
Yes, that's a griffin, symbol of Wales. Peyton may have been from Wales originally, or perhaps had ancestors from there. Great video! Aquia Church has always been on my must-see list but I've just never made it there yet.
Really good video, Chris. It always amazes me to see countryside in NYC. Why? Because I tend to think its all been paved over. But refreshing to see wide open spaces there.
Chris…VA…You are superb! Thoroughly enjoy yore tid-bits of history! One interesting structure… the Fences… the timber placed… …Here in Edgewater, MD…London Town Historical Home and Gardens, has the same jig-jag split or rail fencing… I personally would like to understand this better… thank you!
Awesome video, truly love Fords theater and tell everyone to go if they can. Can anyone help me find support for the statement about John Breckinridge renting the peterson house while he was vice president? (I love breckinridge as a historical character, never heard that he had rented the peterson house. CRAZYTOWN.
The old concrete structure was a milking shed the roof is long gone - they would bring cows in there and hook milking machines up to them notice the center box was for feed to keep the cows occupied while milking -the plants are grape vines
My grandmother was actually born on Oaken Brow in 1929. My great-grandparents were share croppers at the time. They later built a house on property they purchased and farmed up the road a little in Jersey, VA.
I want to thank you for taking the time to research every property. Your videos have opened up an entire new life for me as I plan to visit many of them myself. I had no idea they even existed. Your videos should be played in schools in Virginia. Thanks again.
📚 A Sociologist and Historian, here's some additional points of interest + your mention of: "the Tribal Lineage of the area" + some the related tribes adapted specific group names: 🔺The great Iroquois Algonquin, Siouan Tribes were in Virginia when Colonists arrived. The Cherokee were just South of there, but Cherokee are of the Iroquois, they migrated South early and were the greater % in this Region from the East Coast to the Appalachian Mountains and beyond into Tennessee and North Georgia. 📚 🚦 Note: the Print, Exterior Wall Hanging "Fleur-de-lis" ⚜️ ⚜️ This symbol has deep History. ✨⚜️✨ @ 31:09 🔺(the original Owner that had this home built, opposite side, his wife.) 🔑 "Field Stone Markers" most old cemeteries, particularly the Enslaved and the Back Country or Mountain Folk used these markers. They need to Mow the property. Enjoyed !
Virginia, ... my G-Grandfather X 6 founded Lynchburg, VA. I look forward to spending some time there soon. Note the Print, Exterior Wall Hanging "Fleur-de-lis" ⚜️ This symbol has deep History. ✨⚜️✨
My grandmother lived at 113 Caroline. You probably didn't find much information on it, but it was used as a first aid station during the Civil War. I grew up across the street at 110 Caroline. Growing up and talking to the older neighbors, I got a lot of interesting stories from that end of the street.
@@VATravels You’re welcome! Very glad you enjoyed it. It would be worth looking into a walking tour of the town sometime, the Victorian home across from Boxley Inn is another B&B, that one was build by my great great uncles.
