🇺🇸 HISTORIC Martin's Station (1775) in 2023 🇺🇸 

It just gives me chills" knowing how hard are ancestors had to work to sustain life & did it with a since of pride & vigor

So blessed to have found your channel.🙏 You are a true patriot🇺🇲

Wonderful. The authentic attire is incredible. This brought tears to my eyes and bitter sweet joy to my heart.❤️🇺🇸

Living history. Thanks to all for keeping our history alive. I was born and raised in southern NJ. Even though my family came from New York And NJ I love my southern friends. We are all Americans and should remember United We Stand. We are all fighting to preserve American history, no matter how uncomfortable it may be. Happy Mother’s Day to you❤️💐

I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed seeing it. We MUST preserve and remember our history!! ALL OF IT!!

YES!!! Two of my favorite youtubers!!! I actually thought I clicked on the wrong video. Awesome!!! I grew up doing historical reenactments with my parents. Most who were in the community have either passed on or no longer can do it for health reasons. It's a dying art. Thank you for putting attention on it. The old ways were DEFINITELY best for survival. I thank God my parents showed me that.

Thank you, Patara, for taking us along with you. I love this type of thing, and I've actually exhibited in something similar to this as a hand quilter. Thank you for everything you do for us. Blessings to you and happy Mother's Day.

Those are the kind of Demonstrators we need more of ! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY PATARA ! AND ALL THE OTHER MOTHERS OUT THERE!

Happy Mother's Day Patera and all of the mothers out there !❤ Yes we need MORE living history these days!!!! 👍❤

I really enjoyed this. I am from Canada and I find history and how people that came before us did things. We have it so easy today.

Certainly reminded me of the land and areas I was born and raised around 99 years ago just outside of a small town in Virginia called Lynchburg. Seeing some of the small children actors were going barefoot, just really made me think back all those years ago when I would be outside helping my old granny makng lye soap. Some things you never ever forget. Such as the sight, sounds and the SMELLS.

Love Mr. Townsend and his RU-vid channel. I too love historical accuracy. Thanks for sharing, Patara.

Thank you for sharing. Being wheelchair bound I don’t have access to many places like this. My chair has its limitations of unpacked terrains & exploring most of this places would be impossible for me. Thank you for sharing I love our history. It needs to be well preserved, cherished & loved, all of it not just the nice good stuff. Wounds & all, it’s what makes our nation so great. God bless

Thank you for sharing this. Heartbreaking to see how hard things were and how few people will know how to survive what's coming. Awesome video thanks again. Happy Mother's Day to all Mom's

Patara and James, thank you for taking us along. I always prefer a museum over an amusement park.

Love this! I majored in history, and I love real American history.

I remember as a kid. There were places out here in the Great Basin where the history could be visited. There were no restrictions for us kids to respectfully become emersed in the places. There were people who had either been a part of that history or were Son's or Daughters of the Pioneers. Not all were Mormon, but all were Pioneers. Life was tough, I learned to make steel when I was still in grade school. Gathering food from all sources available. And yes cooking it. I loved cooking Breakfast the most...lol I guess what I'm trying to say is... Teach your children, and if you can.. Find those people around you and share and learn from each other. As much as you can now... No one makes it in this world alone... May God bless.

I can't understand how anyone does not find this interesting? Thanks so much for taking us along with you.

How wonderful! We have "Pioneer Days" in the Fall at numerous parks where I'm from in Indiana. These celebrations/reenactments are the highlight of the season! One of my big brothers was the park Blacksmith, giving demonstrations and selling his Ironworks. We now have a nephew who has taken my brother's Blacksmith log cabin and works the hide of various animals for his demonstrations. Our ancestors were hard-working and faithful. The reason for the existence of future generations. I truly enjoy learning and experiencing these reenactments. Thank you for giving us a glimpse of yours! From one mother to another, Happy Mother's Day, Patara!

History is so fascinating. Thank you for sharing.

Happy mother's day to all mom's. Thanks for sharing y'all

It was so great to meet you (again!) 😉 Thanks for filming the bake oven and for supporting living history!

Love you patara, here in the swiss alps were i live we are still making cheese (emmental) . Heating with wood, hunting, sewing our own clothes, and all that life gives us is acepted with thanks to the lord. Even here it is getting harder by the day. The city folk are way down in the valleys, but seem to know more about farming, and living on the land. Than us who do ! It is a worldwide problem. I wish you luck, and a good harvest. With love from the swiss hills. Lg hans (lg is short for liebe grusse, in swiss german . It means dearest greetings. ).

Thank you for taking us somewhere I’d love to go to but these days it’s impossible for us. We’re in Central VA and love all the history here, but we’re getting older and don’t seem to have the stamina we once did. My husband is battling lymphoma and he just can’t go like he used to. I’m grateful to live in a state with so much history of this country. Thank you for all you do! ❤❤❤

I grew up in New Jersey near where the Battle of Monmouth was fought. I remember seeing reenactments. I now live in the Pacific Northwest. I miss the emphasis on historical happenings. It's a crime that they're stopping these from continuing. Thank you Patara for bringing this wonderful memory back to me. Be blessed and safe.

Thank you for sharing Patara. So awesome! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thank you for sharing Patara. We all need to remember those times that our ancestors lived in and what they went through. I’m sure it was not easy by any stretch. It’s humbling to see these special events.

Tears for all we have lost, and gratitude for the Spirit within us guiding us home. It's the open door, welcoming us to survive

Thank you Patara. That was awesome! We have occasional re-enactments and demonstrations also, and I encourage everyone to learn as much as they can about where they come from. Our ancestors went through so incredibly much in their times and we should honor them by our interest. After all, we share DNA! Like you, I have Native American ancestry, as well as sooooo much more. I have ancestry who served in every American war. Just yesterday, I visited a regional library and research center here in TX where many of my ancestors papers, photos, and possessions are on display. That ancestor served in both the Texas Revolution (after fall of the Alamo) and the Civil War. His grandfather served alongside George Washington in the American Revolution. So many stories! It just makes my heart want to burst. Research your ancestors and network while you still can!

Happy Mother's Day ❤️ This makes me want to cry because this is what children should be learning!

Thank you for sharing Martin's Station. I felt at home watching this. May God be with you and your family.

I don't know why, but between the music and your share, I teared up. I truly wish home ec would return to our schools & team up with FFA & History to teach these skills

This is just amazing ❤ Thank you for recording it ❤

2 of my most favorite youtubers together NOW that's a Mother's day gift!!!!

I had the privilege of visiting Martin’s Station several years ago. It is was an awesome visit. I absolutely love history!

Thanks for sharing this event !

I fought back the tears through this video. This is so special, and it stirs my soul. Thank you for sharing Patera. Happy Mother's day ❤️

Aw townsends! Love how he shouted you out! Thank you for taking us with ! I wanna come to Tennessee just for the re-enactments! We have re enactments here in Nevada too that I absolutely need to attend !

What a wonderful, beautiful example of living history telling! My ancestors on my father's side came over during the Great Migration in 1635 on a ship called The Blessing. The first great grandfather and great grandmother ( x's 10/11?) who crossed over, were both gone within 8 years. And they had only ONE son who went on to not only be the beginning of the family tree here in the U.S., but served in a very important part of the community as one of the very first in that position in that town in this country. We have had a family member in every major conflict since the Revolutionary War. My maternal grandmother's family immigrated in 1914 through Ellis Island. As a young adult I remember seeing their immigration papers in the family photo album. They came from Holland to escape the looming WW1. Why is this important? My great grandmother was a Dutch Jew. If they had not immigrated, I may not be here today. I am eligible for the Daughter's of the American Revolution on both sides of the family. One side having been documented. Make copies of your family history and keep it in a safe place, like a safety deposit box or a fire and water proof box hidden away.

Thank you for this wonderful trip into the our history. It brings tears to my eyes. Happy Mother's Day.

Happy Mothers day to all the moms!! And thank you for another great video 😊

I just love going to these historic events!! It fills my heart and my mind with sadness how things have changed.Thank you Patara for bringing us back it’s a wonderful thing because I don’t get out much..❤

Thank you for sharing, Patata, it's awesome to see how things were 200 hears ago. You and James looked like you were having a grand time!

Bless all these people for keeping these skills alive to be passed on to others. Thank you Patara, for sharing them with us. I think we all should be leaning some of these skills for the future......

Happy Mother's day to all Mom's! This is a cool place to see real homes of the settlers... The Cumberland Gap is a well-known historical area, and everyone who can, SHOULD see it!

Awesome!! Two of my very favorite people!! JAS Townsend and Patara!! Love y’all!! Happy Mother’s Day!! God bless y’all!!

Happy Mother's Day Patara.🎉

Thank you. I'd never get the chance to see this in person, so I'm grateful for you sharing ❤️

Thank you. How wonderful for us to enjoy your travels and our history.

Thank you, Patara, for sharing this video with us. I love watching/learning how our forefathers lived.

Thank you Patara for the wonderful video. History is so important. Wonderful to see how bread was baked and meat was smoked.

Thank you for sharing. I'm a huge proponent of living history and first person diaries. It was the foundation of the way I taught my history students.

How awesome it would be to see this in person. Thanks for sharing Patara And... Happy Mother's Day!!

Patara, Yep... I'm a Muzzleloader magazine reader and it's great to read all the stories of the 1700s - 1800s. And I have a few flintlock rifles, they are fun to shoot, but up here in WA. State, it's hard to keep your powder dry. We have had our pioneers throughout are state like Lewis and Clark and all of the trappers and hunters of the 1800s. My family came from Minesota and from all over the Great lakes area. The Downhour's and the Deney's, We have a few trade fairs and living history meet ups up here too. I have learned a lot from them and my grandparents.

made me cry, what a beautiful time in History but a very Hard time to !

That IS America!Thanks,Patera😊

Thank you sister girl!🙏🏻♥️ Happy Mother’s Day!💐🙏🏻♥️

I love Townsends I am a reenactor as well. I have been since I was 5 years old and im 32. I started with 1775, then 1850s with the CSA and lastly 1079 by the SCA. I love learning and each has brought something important. 1775 I learned tomahawk and knife throwing and did competitons. 1850s I learned outdoor cooking and Southern charm school. 1079 I was an adult and learned cooking, medicine, how to manage a campsite, sword fighting, continued my archery and axe throwing in competitions, taught my children how to fight, sewing, making clothing, etc. There is so much to learn and do. I encourage everyone to join a reenactment for the learning part.

Thank you so much for sharing with us Patara, I love history and this kind of stuff.

Thank you thank you Patara. For showing us our American heritage. I thoroughly enjoyed it. ❤ PS- Happy Mother's day. 💐 And if anyone could please tell me the name of the first song . Thank you

Yes! Patera is GREAT! ❤️❤️❤️

This is simply awesome Patara - right in my backyard. Loved every minute of it. I have put Martin's Station on my list to visit. We have Painted Rock re-enactment here in September. Painted Rock is the story of the Boone family and the Cherokee. There is no village like Martin's Station, but the re-enactment is superb. Thank you so much for this delightful and historic video Patara.

That was beautiful. God bless America ❤

I wanna give a big shout out to the bread maker, I wish I knew her name and to Michael the smoker. You guys are awesome !!! Great job, thank you very much. And Patara, you couldn't have picked better music ! 👍🏻

Thank you for promoting Revolutionary War reenactors. More Preppers should get involved in this hobby, as you will meet excellent people and like minded folks.

Love it!!

What a treat to see! When I could get out and about I went to so many places like this....Rocky Mount, Sycamore Shoals, Exchange Place, Staunton living history site, Williamsburg, Jamestown, the list goes on. God bless the men and women who work so hard to keep our history known! It's good to see a few young people in the mix too.

Fabulous. Thank you Patara. You are a great American and a great mom. Love you. 💕💕💕

Happy Mother's Day Miss Patara! May God richly bless you and your family and your farm.

Such treasures of the historic area. Thank you for sharing this.

Thank you for sharing this!! We have been there before, but no re-enactment was taking place. We will have to book our vacation around this next year! Hubby and I are both great American History buffs.

Happy Mother’s Day Patara. Enjoy your day. ❤❤

Imagine how heaven will be. I love this old timey... way of life. I'd love to live like that. Thanks lady.

TOWNSENDS!!!!!! Love him!

Keep history alive!❤

Happy Mothers Day Patara!!💯❤️💕💜✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸

Excellent! As a young man I was introduced to many such historical sites through out the eastern uSA including my favorite, Williamsburg, Virginia. Another excellent one is Nauvoo, Illinois. Both of these have excellent year round live re-inactments and demonstration of early American pioneer skills and practices. Others, found almost everywhere are essentially museums but nevertheless worth visiting. Some are far off the motor path such as Kirkwood deep in Hell's Canyon on the Snake River. Others in small towns such as Council, Idaho's Adams County Museum. Contribute your time and treasures to these institutions. Join your local historical society.

Wow, awesome. We love Townsend's!!! He is such a humble, kind man. My favorite cooking show EVER. Oh awesome Patara!

Thanks for sharing.Happy Mother's Day!Do you know how much of a blessing you are to me?

Awesome, thank you!! Happy Mother’s Day!!

Townsend! Thank you so much for sharing this experience. Tears for fear that so much will soon be lost.
