I enjoy the graveyard tours! With traffic circles that have two lanes remind me of the movie " European Vacation " when they get stuck in the inside lane for hours in Paris!😅 Thanks again. 👍
You are allowed to fish at that area. You are not allowed to to boat to the right, that takes you to the main lake. You are allowed to boat to the left, it's very shallow. Kayaks and canoes work well. Also Yellow House Hotel is one of the most history filled places that you passed. Great video, thanks.
I love old victorian and old farm houses. I don't like modern homes. That cemetary was awsome. I'd be interested in old historic towns and what not. Please 😊
Thank you Cliff, that would be great, doing a series of small historical towns. I grew up near Mount Holly, NJ, and live in Burlington City and both are historical towns. I grew up and still do, having a love of such towns. I've always had a love of history, whether it is people, places or objects.
Please do a series on old historic villages. In the fall of the year would be very evocative. Your videos are great. Best wishes to you and your family 💜💜
I would never expect you to know much about Fleetwood. It’s just a small town like a ton of others in berks, but there is so much history. From its start as an overnight stop for oxen taking iron ore from Moselem to Oley Furnace in the 1700’s To why there’s a Fleetwood Cadillac, the metal body works you mentioned. They hand formed custom all aluminum body’s for high end cars like Duesenberg’s and Rolls Royce. Later they were bought out by Fisher then GM. There is so much more. If you ever do a small town series, Fleetwood would actually be worth a revisit. Any of the people at the historical society would definitely help you.
You’re making me want to come to Pennsylvania to do my own tour of where my paternal grandfather and his ancestors lived. I know several lived in Berks County, but they were mostly Austrian and Scottish.
Fleetwood is where i grew up. Many changes as you drove thru. The locals say Moselem as mo sill um. Yes do a small town tour. Thanks for sharing, Cliff.
Cliff, keep right if your going to make a right turn at first exit, keep left if your doing a later turn Always signals on circles( we call them round abouts here in Washington State). Cheers, Rik Spector
I would love a video on Amityville! I used to play in that cemetery. Our babysitter lived in a house next to the church. The house had the windows in the attic like the Amityville Horror house.
Thanks for the ride-along. Being a Pennsylvanian myself, it really makes me happy to see all the open space still in PA, because where I am at in Chester County the development has gone mad and there isn't much open space left. This made my heart happy! If I was younger, I'd consider moving up that way!
I live in central Pennsylvania and have all kinds of wildlife in my yard. From rabbits to bears. Pennsylvania is a beautiful state with plenty of open spaces where I live. I just wish we could do away with winter 😆.
@@vanreichelderfer8053 If I was younger, I'd consider moving to Central PA. I'm originally from Sunbury area, and I'm so happy that there is so much open space left in our beautiful state! Thanks for the comment!
@@debhouckscraftycottage9288 i teach at SUN Area Technical Institute and have students in my class from Sunbury! Go Shikellamy Braves 😆. Did you graduate from there? What year?
As a quick side note, veering into Weavertown Rd from the big church (St. Paul’s United Church of Christ) will lead you to Exeter Friends Meeting House, at which the Boone and Lincoln families attended and some are interred. Meeting House was built in 1730.
Yellow House Hotel used to be painted yellow! And say Moselem Springs…mo-sell-um. The doctor’s office there used to be a very nice restaurant at one time. The mill is in the village of Moselem. I grew up over the hill from there, right outside Virginville. Thanks for this video!
Another old village to check out before it’s gone is Kulpsville, Pa. Visit the old graveyard adjacent to to the parking lot at the Holiday Inn filled with the Kulp family. Then next to the pedestrian bridge going over PA 63 behind Walgreens are some placards explaining the founding of Kulpsville.
Oh dear you wouldn't like my city it's roads are a grid system with loads of round abouts . Milton Keynes in England and of course we drive on the left so we go clock wise round them . 😊
Nice road trip. I was amazed when you said you were never to the Kutztown fair. This is the biggest activity that happens in Berks county every year. Last year 14,000 people attended. The old farm equipment is amazing. If you like the history of farming this might interest you. Stay well and cool.
My WPA Guide to Pa says that the big church in Amityville was opened in 1929…apparently built over an already existing church….another church nearby was built circa 1844. Originally there was one church, then a split happened and the there were two churches. Now fences have been repaired and Amityville is back to one.
Lovin this road trip. I always liked stone houses too.Ill take either one of them. Please go back to that cemetery preferably in the fall. I think Jon went past that yellow house in one of his videos. Im surprised there were no Amish farms along the way. I hate those round abouts,too. If you miss the turn,or not sure which one to take,you must keep going round. This was a great ride. Wish I was there. Safe travels ❤❤❤ ❤❤
between 14.00 and 14.08 the video skipped and was missed but there is a White House on the right that’s very close to the road. It is the original toll house for the Oley turnpike
those circles are the new rage, I think they are dangerous, they used to be a big deal esp. in N.J.but they were proven to be dangerous and done away with, but now they are back, lets see for how long
It’s been a couple decades since I’ve been on that route (it was a route to college in Kutztown) and none of those traffic circles were around then. Safe to say most people hate them.
Moselem Springs Roundabout You did great. The right hand lane was for going towards Allentown. Your lane was for going straight or staying in the Roundabout and going to Reading.
Near to Kulpsville is the Morgan Log Cabin on Weikert Rd….The Morgan family contributed to the maternal side of the Daniel Boone family. Lovingly restored by financier Walter Morgan.
I noticed Wandering Woodsman that you are wearing a new hat. Does your hat say Black Water? I can't read it all; what's the History about your hat? Your other hat I seen your video on in the past about Old Niagra. I'm just curious about your new hat I noticed it in this video your new hat.
