I actually led a tour group there once... apparently Mr. Nash was not only the Postmaster in the area, he also volunteered with the 10th Georgia Infantry during the Civil War, and was placed in charge of a unit of volunteers. These soldiers would have rifle practice on his land, and there's actually a dirt embankment somewhere on the property where people still find Civil War-era bullets. And yes, I can confirm those buildings were all moved... the original property was much bigger. Many nearby streets are actually named after the Nash children.
That's very interesting. Actually, since I made this video, the house has been moved. It's now across the street in the park area and looks completely different.
Correction: It was not too expensive for slave owners to put windows on slave houses. It was an expense slave owners did not consider necessary to spend on enslaved humans who were considered stock / animals, at the time. But you are right, it's just something they didn't do.
Hi thank you for joining my channel, I really appreciate your kind support. I have hit your bell so we can stay in touch. I have added your channel to my Sunday Shout out wall which I upload each Sunday. I hope those on it use it to find new supporters.
Thank you for sharing this. I'm sorry to hear this but I'm so happy you're here to share with us. We must never forget about the real people who had to live in slavery.
Beautiful nature.Flowers,Landscapes &Cute Animals I like visiting historic buildings too. I really like the less famous ones because I can relate to the former people more. I’ve seen a lot of the historic buildings in and near D.C. Although it is fun to visit and learn about the people and places, it seems so far removed from the type of life my ancestors lived. I like learning about plain old folks.
I know right? There are very few houses over 100 years in my area. The new houses across the street is typical of what they are building here. Beautiful but no character like the old fashioned homes. And the stalls in the barn look small to me so I figure the horses were small or they were using donkeys. Thanks so much for watching! 💕
Thanks for sharing. I enjoy historical locations, hiking, flying my Mavic. Check out my channel, you might enjoy my content.... Hope you're having a good afternoon
There aren’t as many as you would think around here. I think a lot of them were burned during the Civil War. And where I live, there isn’t much interest in older houses. Everyone wants houses like the ones they are building across the street. They’re building beautiful homes but they just don’t have the character that they really old houses have. Thanks for stopping by! You’ve done an awesome job leading us!
@@bishopmontel2 when I filmed this, the house was across the street. They have obviously since moved it and changed the look of the house. I'm dying to get up close and see it.
I don't remember right now. I'm thinking about going back and doing another video there. The park has been closed for quite a while now. The house that was across the street has been moved and eventually, my understanding is that it will be open to the public. But for now I just have to wait.
@@imthebossofme63 That's what is so fun with detecting. You never know what you're going to get and the adrenaline rush when you find something really special. Old coins are probably my favorite things to pull out the ground.
I’ve never actually done it myself, but watched lots of videos. I remember going to the beach when I was a kid and the “old” people would be out on the sand in the morning with their metal detectors. They probably made a fortune just finding lost change. Not to mention jewelry.
Miss Jenny's Cleaning ha I guess that makes me old. Definitely not going to strike it rich with this hobby, but it is a lot of fun and very addictive. But you do get some good exercise and get to be outside in nature. You also learn a lot from the things you find with a little research.
The house has been moved across the street to the park where the rest of the buildings are. They’ve been working on it for over a year. The other day, I went past it and it looks completely different. The park is still closed so I don’t understand why it was drastically changed. I am assuming that you don’t approve of preserving the plantation. I understand that. Truthfully, from what I’ve seen, the topic of slavery is addressed in a very mild way in this area. However, there are also many things changing as far as glorifying Confederate people of note. Anyway, I really appreciate you taking the time to watch my video and posting a comment.
Thank you for watching my video. Yes, for the time and location, this farm/ post office/ store was a thriving business. Sadly, it was also a place where the land owners used slavery. Your comment was kind of vague, but I get the feeling that you might have some feelings about this topic. Please know that I do not condone slavery or oppression of any type of person. I know that not everyone agrees with me, but my personal belief is that we cannot forget the wrongs that we do to others. I did stop by your channel and you apparently live fairly close to me in Dekalb County. Therefore, you know that there is a ton of historical places in our area that were prosperous due to slavery and Stone Mountain was the rebirth place of evil. Just to share where I am coming from, I have an aunt who was Jewish and escape the nazis. There is a lot of evil in our world. Past and present. We can’t forget that. People like you and me, we need to work together to change things. Peace, and thanks again!
@@imthebossofme63 those thriving Business depended on free labor.... Rape Murder and kidnapping .....I happen to be a local African American and our Local History is full of horrific tales of that place..... That's a place of Pure Evil
Michael Evans I agree. I also think that much of the history that is acknowledged at all in this area is watered down. The house has been moved and the park is closed right now, but I was thinking of doing a follow up video when it opens again. Maybe you would be interested in doing a collaboration with me? Also, Michael, I want to thank you for the open dialog. We need to keep talking. And educating people. If you are not comfortable with that, I understand.
