Thanks so much for watching this video! If you enjoyed it, then I know you LOVE this one- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nLmVrLODrK6taas.html&ab_channel=JeremyXplores

have you noticed that many of these 150yr old homes are still standing strong. Construction was so much better back then. Amazing.

I can't believe there is not one family wanting to cherish that home and bring it back to life. The property, the home, the furnishings are all beautiful.

It never ceases to amaze me when I see family photos abandoned like this. No matter what those should be cherished memories to pass down for generations.

Such a fascination with Civil war history..I’d give anything to read the diary/ journal all those letters, to be in the minds of those written the said letters..most should be at the Smithsonian, going back in time and their thoughts of what they endured ..absolutely phenomenal!

I will never understand how someone could let this old house and all these antiques go to waste. I love old houses and antiques and this just saddens me. I would cherish everything here if it was mine.

With the exception of a couple of rooms, this house is in exceptional condition. I wish I could buy it with all of the contents included. I would attempt to bring everything back to its former glory. I would try to find a place in the house for those beautiful antiques and get rid of the garbage. Then, I would try to locate the family members and invite them to come see it. I love this old place!

The amount of history in this place is truly amazing and i wish someone in the family would continue to preserve it, including the house itself. Ive never seen so much unpainted wood, even the beadboard! So gorgeous, the quality of craftsmanship shows. I'd love to restore this place. I also wish our family had this much history left, but most of it was kept in a damp basement so it all got thrown away from mold

My family grew up with many of these artifacts. It was like a trip down memory lane. Everything should be catalogued, preserved, and restored. Love it - thank you!

It is perfectly normal for this home to have confederate memorabilia. People at this time had parents or grandparents that were touched by the civil war. Judging from the kids' photos, this house was still functional in the 60s and 70s. They probably had it done up very nicely as old style kitsch was popular back then.

The wealth of history in this home was astounding. You can’t act as if things didn’t happen. History is set in stone. No amount of trying to erase it will make it go away. We learn from history and try not to make the same mistakes. This home is beautiful and the inside WOW❤❤❤

Always makes me so sad seeing old homes still full of memories. Hard to believe there is no living grandchildren that would want some of those antiques. Think of the Christmass and Thanksgivings everyone laughing. Life goes by to quickly enjoys your days.

That is crazy, i am almost certain I've been in this house and knew the old couple and daughter. My Father was a Baptist preacher, this couple went to the church, when I was 10 or 12 we are Sunday dinner with them, and watched wizard of oz in the room on the right. Wow, I've never forgotten how that old place was all wood and how tight it all was. Great find. I'm no longer down there, not sure what happened with them.

Bruce Catton won the Pulitzer Prize for his works on The Civil War. He was born and died in Michigan , so he was a Yankee. His books are said to be some of the best and most accurate written on the Civil War. If this house is near Greeneville Alabama , this couple lead a good honest hardworking life.

These possessions are much older than would belong to a couple married in 1969. I was married in 1968 and we had no such possessions. Some of the antiques date several generations prior and could have been inherited or each generation occupied this home consecutively and precious items were kept. KZfaqr is right, this is like a museum. It would be fascinating to put all the pieces together. The medicine cabinet holds very old bottles and seem to be out of place. Thank you for the tour.

The construction of this home is amazing. It was built way back in the day when a REAL home was built sturdy with no rain damage visible. The woodwork alone looks like it was erected yesterday. Magnificent. I gather that these items were packed up with the intention of being moved, but something might have occurred at the last minute that caused them to abandon everything. On the edge of my chair, I kept thinking that you would hear a voice of someone who discovered you there as an intruder. I appreciate the fact that you respected their belongings; you are a good person and thank you for that.

I melted looking at all of those gorgeous pieces of furniture and ephemera abandoned to time, weather and rodents. When a family’s history is abandoned as such it makes me think there were really strong conflicts dividing them. Soooo sad. No one in their right mind would forfeit the value of heirlooms like this!

This house holds 3 or 4 generations of "things". That's why you see 2 pianos. Just went through this clearing a family member's home with this much stuff in it. We gave most of the items away to the community and people who would appreciate the antiques or just needed furniture. We wanted good to come from loss. This reminded me of how people can value their "stuff" more than people sometimes. But in the end, we learn how to care about each other better from the mistakes of others! Thank you for this amazing walk-through time! You have a very soothing voice and it makes it a pleasure to watch!

Don’t you know this place was pure beauty when it was built. The house the yard can never be replaced like it once was. If walls could only talk. Awesome!

I can't believe it hasn't been vandalized and that everything has been left. Its a beautiful house.

Notice the craftsmanship of the interior of this house It would not take much to bring back this house to life and preserve such historical craftsmanship I wish I could find something like this and research the true history of this place Great job showing us this time capsule 😊

When my great aunt and uncle died, their daughter couldn’t bring herself to deal with their things so left it sitting for her sons to deal with it after her passing. She’s 100 now and the house is still standing…somewhat!

The family should really get antiques dealers or pickers in as there are thousands of dollars worth of furniture in there. Tiger oak is still quite valuable and getting rare. The house could be restored...if done soon. This is a part of history. Thank you for taking the time to do this and sharing it.

Can I ask you how do you know the kids rejected their parents ideas? just because they have a confederate flag doesn’t mean that they’re racist. It could also mean that they were from the south.

General Lee was in the north when the CW broke out. He said he couldn't fight against Virginia so became a General in the southern army. He was the best general in the war.

When I was a teenager, we moved into an old victorian style farm house that was still set up like the family had literally just left for the day. Clothes in the dressers and closets, hairbrushes, mirrors, and combs on the dressers. It was literally like stepping back in time. This was in the 80s and everything in the house was from the mid 50s at the latest. The calendar was May of 1955. About 3 months after we had been living there, the elderly neighbor across the street told us that the family that lived there was killed in a car accident on the way to church in the spring of 1955. The extended family wasn't interested in any of their things but had kept paying taxes on the property. Strange.

After the Civil War General Lee became the President of Washington College where he lived on campus. His home in Arlington Va. became a graveyard where the US government wanted the consequences of war to canvas his property. Lee would make a point to march out of step the rest of his life and did not want to be remembered as a hero. As for General Grant, he never had a harsh word to say about him.

I wish I was younger and could own that house and all it's contents. That's right up my alley. I would love that! Can u imagine lace curtains blowing in the breeze, a pie sitting in the kitchen cooling? Oh my gosh...so many things pop into my mind. Handmade quilts on the beds with crisp white linens. I could go on and on. Thanks for doing this video but I would like to know why everything was left and what they are going to do with all those beautiful things.

History is history and you can't make excuses for how people acted 150+ years ago. It's a beautiful mansion regardless of their19th century upbringing and beliefs. Thank you for showing it to us with all of the antiques intact. The state should make it a historical monument for sure.

I contacted Alabama historical commission. For it to be saved, must be nominated to be saved by Residents of Alabama. To me this place has significant historical value.

Hello Jeremy. Very interesting house and contents. But I would like to point out that you misidentified many objects and even the type of wood things are made out of. The bowl and pitchers that you said you would find in France, were very commonplace around the world. They were your water and wash basin before there was indoor bathrooms with running water. Also, the kitchen was very much an American type kitchen with a wood burning stove. That house was electrified long after it had already been built. So every form of heat and light came from flame. Some of the items that were truly exceptional there were ones you simply passed up. I wish I had been there with you to educate you on antiques and their use.

Something bad has happened to leave it like this. These things are too valuable to leave behind. Someone is also keeping the yard trimmed. Notice the grass is very tall around the vehicles but is perfectly groomed elsewhere. It should all be waist high.

I can't help but respect the way you kept someones diary private. That says alot about you. Thanks for a great video, well filmed

This was someone’s life. How precious life is. Fascinating

I thank you for going through the medicine cabinet . That was so great. That next room looked like it had a doctor’s bag in it. Their pictures looked modern but obviously they were from a long time ago. Excellent explore, Jeremy. Loved it so much

One thing about exploring some old house or barn you see it's best to ask the property owner or land owner first. They don't care for people roaming around without at least asking and being nice about it

I can’t believe children would just let all that go. I kept everything of my heritage. I gave a lot away to charity because I did not have room for it. But I went through everything including my mommys underpants. I just can’t fathom it. 😮

I lived in a house that was built in the 1770's for seventeen years. I worked very hard to make it look presentable but the walls were plaster with horse hair insulation so they were hard to paint. I started visiting antique stores to find some old gems and found quite a few. My favorites were linens including curtains and old table lamps. When the walls started peeling and the ceilings started bowing and my husband wouldn't do anything about it, I moved back Into my house. I'm telling you this because the things you love are the exact things I love in these old homes. There's quite a few of them here in farm country, PA. Thanks for your great stories as you go through these old homes!!

The baby stroller is actually called a "Pram" which date's back to the mid 1800's. If the pram in this old house has 3 wheels, then it's pre 1920's. As for the rest of the house, it's so awesome looking and so well preserved. Thank you for sharing this video...

Fascinating. I am amazed the house was not looted. There is so many valuable items in there.

I didn’t expect to feel blue. I became emotional towards the end. The history and memories that were made, to just remain frozen in a moment in time. It’s just sad. Someone from the family should contact Mike Wolfe from the show American Pickers. There’s so much that could be sold, restored and go to people who would appreciate the items. I’d assume even some items could possibly end up in historical museums. Excellent narration and respectable walkthrough. 👍🏼🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

For some reason, these older ones like this, always make me much sadder than newer places.

Calomel aka "mercurous chloride" was a medicine commonly used during the Civil War (not much modern day usage) I must admit that the medicine cabinet was my favorite part of this journey. But I'm sad you didn't explore the doctor's bag, they most likely had a Civil War physician in the family since many of those meds were abandoned due to toxicity during the turn of the century.

You really are such an eloquent speaker. I love your respect not only for the those that once resided but also for the craftsmanship and history. Thank you for taking us with you on your adventures through time and documenting these moments and places to keep them for future shares 😊 Also appreciate how much work and risk you take to bring them ❤

I am amazed some young People has not destroyed it. It is great to see all the stuff from the Past. Thank You for showing us around this old home! Amazing to see those old Books, what a treasure.

How do you know what the children of the couple thought or felt or why they left? Did you speak to them? Or is this just what you assume? To make your video more interesting

Nice that you shared this with us - and even nicer that you're so respectful of those whose home this was. Thank you.

This place was clearly still seeing traffic as late as at least late 2007. True, there are tons of antiques, but there's also a drum kit for the Rock Band video game (2007 release date) and a flat-screen computer visible at 5:53. Shortly after, one can see an Amazon Prime box (6:03), a relatively modern Canon 3-in-1 printer/scanner (6:43), a DVD of "Epic Movie" (again, 2007 release date), etc. If anything, though, these tastes of modernity simply do a great job of accentuating the long history of this place. Really, it just makes a stronger contrast to the 1920s Home Comfort stove and other antiques. Thank you for taking the time to record it in such detail, and with such respect to the former inhabitants! It's a shame to see it all go to decay - but such is the curse of a society overburdened with abundance.

ENJOYED THIS POST JEREMY... Thanks for being respectful of the family's privacy & the many items that were left behind.

I love the tongue and groove woodwork throughout. The antiques are amazing. My guess is the mom is in a nursing home and the place is tied up between kids fussing over personal things and the nursing home laying claim to everything as they do in AL. Thank you for bringing us along. ❤

This house is amazing! So many generations stuffed in this gem. I really wish you opened the medicine bag!!! I feel like this house has not been “abandoned” to long as it’s in great condition. Maybe not lived in, but definitely not truly “abandoned” in my opinion. Absolute love!

This home is absolutely amazing. I wish someone would save this beauty. Did you notice the lack of cobwebs which should be everywhere.... The wood is pristine!!!!! I could spend days checking that house out.

An amazingly well built home, love all the wood! You can tell several generations have been here as there are many items from when I grew up in the 60’s and newer items as well. I’m not sure why, but feel like this may have been a doctors home in early times, just a strong feeling. Common people couldn’t afford many of these things. There sure are some awesome pieces there…if walls could talk, the stories they’d tell

I really liked the kitchen reminded me of my grandparents home , with the old cook stove , the salt glazed pottery and canning jars. Old glass bottles , unlike the plastic junk of today , was cool to see an old dirt late model race car tho it was unlucky green colored, as far as the confederacy items , it’s part of american 🇺🇸 history like it or not .

I liked the house but didn't appreciate the judgmental slant on rewritten abridged history.

My house is at least 150 years old maybe older doing it up now,keeping to the style of the original, it needs care and repair constantly, but we love it, its sweet ,its loved and homey .the things we dig up in gardens,old bottles hammer heads and tools horse shoes and colourfull peices of broken crockery,and even the top lids of woodfuel stove, I hang most of them on a mobile to rememberance of the past,the rest in pots around plants.

Wow. The old medicine cabinet is a treasure trove. That would be an interesting segment all by itself, if presented by someone who knows about all of those old pharmaceuticals. Watched a video once of a guy that dug up the back yard of an old suburban property originating from a time/place when people disposed of their trash on their own properties. And he was going over all the concoctions that people were using back in the day. It was very interesting.

Love the old Confederacy memorabilia. Priceless!!!

It looks to me like someone had an antique shop that closed and they filled the parents or grandparents home with these amazing items. I had a similar shop at one time. The J&P Coats on the bureau with all the paperwork became Coats and Clark and they made spools of thread among other sewing items.The wicker type fancy chairs are mid 1800s. This whole place is a treasure of antiques. What a wonderful journey presented with much respect.

Ironically, I noticed a book titled "Ghosts along the Mississippi" which is a photographic text book charting the decaying houses of Louisiana. The cabinet on which it sits was made by a Scottish thread company called J & P coats. The cabinet was likely intended to store threads.

It’s so sad family just leaves all that behind. That was someone’s memories and things they cherished. So so sad.

Did Anyone Else Notice how nearly Dust Free this house is???

I hope the family does something with these antiques so they are not lost to decay (maybe you can update later about this) the history was very interesting, thanks for taking us in with you and your respectful way of sharing it

I'm in awe!!!! All of that wood!!! Love the wood walls!!! Love the antique wood furniture!!!! Thanks for taking us for a journey!!!

Thank you so much for this video, it is the best of its kind that I have seen, BY FAR. You are well-spoken, your voice is soothing to hear, you aren't rushing around and jerking the camera all about, and you add an element of dignity and respect for the home and the former occupants that is sorely lacking in many videos by other posters. I've grown quite weary of those videos where a loud pack of frat boys storms on through an old home, place, etc. like it is a keg party, and every third word they speak is, "DU-UDE!!!" But, I must confess, I did this very exact (du-ude!) thing while watching your video. You see, when you got to the kitchen area in this video, I was almost jumping out of my seat over the "HOME COMFORT" wood/coal burning kitchen stove, because...I have the EXACT same stove in my home! Yep, still in use today, and there is a fire burning in it as I type this. I use it to cook my meals and heat my home. It is great when the power goes out. I only wish it was in as good condition as the one in your video. Now I know what parts are missing on my trusty Home Comfort. You made my day!

Well, George and Joyce may have lived and raised a family in the home, but I'm guessing that house belonged to someone's great grandparents. They would be of a younger generation than these antiques belonged to. Kudos to them for preserving and taking care of all those beautiful antiques.

Someone was fairly well to do at one time. A home with land, photos and fine furnishings. Very blessed.

It's so cool how you can go back 100 of years and see things that are still preserved. Specify how well that house was reserved for all the years that it's been there. Pretty cool, thank you for sharing things like that I enjoyed them.

idk why i feel so sad i want to cry, all the beautiful stuff left behind, the house seem so cozy

I have watched a lot of videos of this kind, but never have I been so captivated as I have with this one. The old saying "If walls could talk" there would probably not be enough years in a decade to tell its story.

This gives me chills. I would love to sit with these folks and hear their story❤

The "glass ware" is Wash Basin with water pitcher. From the days before running water inside homes ! They were usually kept in Bedrooms on a stand with a Towel.

OMG!! all the woodwork!!! Those beds alone!!! WOW!!! someone really needs to preserve this gorgeous house and all the craftmanship in it!!! Id LOVE to have this home in my family. Pass it on and make happier memories for those walls to protect! Its amazing how well preserved alot of that stuff is!! I keep seeing pieces i would LOVE to have!!! ❤😊

As a native Alabamian I must say this is my favorite tour so far. I would love to be able to talk to the children who grew up in this house (who are no doubt older than myself by now). They must want nothing to do with their past seeing as how they haven't went back to get any of this stuff.

Did you ever find the owners? This is worth a follow up. I feel we as viewers are left hanging with too many questions, too many whys and where's.

To assume that the children or any part of the family wasn’t proud of their heritage is wrong. Just because they are southern doesn’t mean they are not proud to be southern. I’m very thankful to be from the South.

I recognize the one man on the right. God bless this family. ❤❤❤

As a thought, it'd be nice to see someone (thinking you, Jeremy) buy this place. Then working thru all the items, rehoming/selling much of it, fixing and restoring the house, and vehicles would make one awesome series on YT! I know, I've been absolutely engrossed in a couple such happenings ( Curiosity Inc). This place is amazing, as is the treasures it holds. Thank you so much for the tour.

Why does General Lee offend you? Maybe you don't know that he was going to fight for whichever side his state of Virginia joined. He was a West Point graduate and not a monster. He could have been the Union commander and have become President as General Grant did if Virginia had stayed in the Union. Presidents and our war heroes are buried in Arlington Cemetery on grounds that contain his residence that was lost due to his loyalty to his state. You need to read about his contributions after the Civil War. I read a book about Robert E Lee. That doesn't make me a supporter of slavery. It is history. It should not offend or "trigger" anyone to know our past. Your comments make me sad that our US history is now being taught with social commentary and not with the reporting of all the facts. Truth may not always fit your agenda. Trying to erase history or judge people based on today's society is unfair.

I saw a physicians bag, which explained to me the medicine cabinet the way it was. Also, someone researched the family and they had 3 children, none of them had children, and the last one passed away in 2009, so explains why there’s no family left to go through the home and memorabilia. It looks like with all the “entertainment” items in and around the home they were a happy family. 😊

Memories are in the mind, not in boxes.

Saludos, This place is quite special, one of the more interesting places I have had the privilege of seeing anyone explore! I don't think we have the right.... no one should pass judgement on the prior tenants.... what was found there cannot be construed as racist, and it does no good trying to erase history. I could have watched an all day exploration of this particular house! Great film, Thanks and Cheers!

Fantastic explore Jeremy, you always deliver the very best but this one exceeds all expectations. All that treasure, worth a fortune. Might have to watch this over again, loved it! So much appreciation for showing this original old house which deserves to be saved.❤

I have been exploring old abandoned houses before there were Urban explorers on KZfaq I love watching your explorers you are a wonderful narrator you have a wonderful voice and I truly enjoy watching your videos I am new to your channel and I love it my favorite days to sit and watch Urban explorers is Sunday morning with a cup of coffee you are on the top of my list

Jeremy ,I absolutely love all your abandoned house videos .I came across this just this past week.I have always dreamed of such big ,huge homes I can never afford but your videos give me the feeling of what it's like to be inside one if these and the feel of how the better off lived .Thank you for this😊😊😊😊

I'm sure neither the North or the South wanted that war. At times it was brother against brother. I'm in the north but adore the South!❤

One of the most beautiful homes I’ve seen in a long time. I love the wood and doors looking front to back. The couple who lived here either collected or inherited a treasure trove of antiques. As for history, love is the answer.

I’m a little confused, if they weren’t married until 1969 and that’s when they bought the house why are there so many antiques so much older then they were? Also the really old letters, why would they have them, unless they belonged to their parents. As far as the Confederacy memorabilia, you have to remember that may not have belonged to them because obviously there’s a lot of stuff in that house that didn’t because it out dates them. I would be very interested in where you got your back story from and if you can explain why there was so much stuff that outdated them?

That oven is at 30:10 is worth a fortune. Those were commonly used (usually coal for fuel) before the days of electric lighting. Excellent video!

I felt a sense of great sadness eminating from that home. I hope I was not only one who felt it.

There is a sadness about this house.i felt it during this video.i never understood why people walk off and leave everything.this place to me is worth saving.Thank you for bringing us along.loved the tour of this place Thanks again

Now that picture of Robert E Lee would be worth some money and I'm taking it that whoever on this home or is affiliated with this house has no idea that you're in it cuz you don't know what you're looking at when you see it

The book you pointed out had as one of its authors Bruce Catton. He has written many many books on the Civil War. Very highly respected.

We live in my husbands 5th generation farmhouse built in early 1800s including much of the items in this house in Alabama. I often think how fragile life is and making best decisions to who and how your estate gets handled for when you are no longer able to or have passed

This is truly one of the most memorable, unforgettable videos I have ever seen, Almost like stepping back into the past. Thank you for sharing.

Box from Amazon Prime, flatscreen LCD monitor, Drum Kit from PS3 RockBand, Printer/Scanner.... can't be too old.

We all have history in our families. I love this house and all the treasures inside. Thanks

I can imagine how beautiful that house was all set up and being lived in. I just love that furniture and those old picture frames.

Your statement as to the book being "opinionated" can be said about any book on the Civil War. There is an interview you can find on YT given by a man who fought in the Civil War, was 100+ years old. This war was not about slavery until the 2nd term of Lincoln. This war was about States Rights!!!! Study it more before an "opinionated" statement is made by a "Northern Aggressor". BTW, I'm from the North. My Great - Grandmother had Brothers and Uncles, etc., who fought on both sides.

The portrait was amazing...not creepy at all. I'd love to purchase one of these treasure homes. So beautiful ❤
