I can’t wait for part 2!

Wow very impressive keep up the grate content man

Cistern under there, not deep enough for a root cellar

Yay I was like when we going in and time kept ticking away 🤪

Can’t wait to see inside! Loved the lighting rods! My Grandmother’s old shotgun house in Mississippi had two! Her house sat on tree stumps about 3 feet off the ground. Us kids loved playing under it because it was cooler in the Summertime.

Great story. THANK YOU for sharing.

If it was in a glass jar it would have tasted like the day it was distilled. Great find!

Lol soo brave

@@margeorgia6018 No dain bramage 😁

Wow, what a cool story!!

Back in the 1970's, my mother would hide when the census taker would come. She thought they would count everything she had and that would determine her taxes. I don't believe she was alive when closets were counted. She was born in 1918.

As a side note: Drummer were salesmen, usually they worked for different companies preselling products for commissions. I remember them coming around when I was a kid. Companies like Fuller Brush, monument salesmen (grave stones) , Bible salesmen. Sometimes we had peddlers that sold all sorts of home and kitchen gadgets. When we needed ice we put a card up in the window with how much ice we wanted 25, 50 100 pounds of ice. Sometimes we had medicine salesmen peddling liniments, all sorts of cures. The good old days, Mom usually ran them off with a broom.

Pleased ti meet you Skyhigh

@@skyhigh6 Andy encyclopedia salesman LOL

@@sukochilee4770 my house was built in 1915 and no closets in it, that is in Canada although we were part of the commonwealth so maybe that’s how it came over here

Trying to buy an old plantation house here in NC, but they want to keep fucking me around. Living in place now built in 1798, in down town new bern NC. Which was the capitol of NC for a while.

4Door ZL1 Good luck to you

Wow 203 years old?????

Was it haunted?

My house was built prior to 1820. Worked on it for 20 yrs. Close, but still needs some stuff done or redone. Ohio, so not a plantation. This place looks small for a plantation to me but what do I know....

Yes, love listening to all the contact calling from the birds🥰

Tranquility? Maybe. However at all through 190 years, especially through the Civil War and the aftermath as the plantation died because of no more slave labor to support it.

@@conniewojahn6445 how did all the others survive without slave labor? Duh

I TOTALLY AGREE

@@conniewojahn6445 These old plantations were handed down to other family members probably. They just didn't care to keep them up to original shape. Yes they had lots of land associated with these old plantations. But land could have been kept up. Due modern farm equipments we have in this day and age. I know if I was handed down a plantation home. I would least and try to keep it in good shape. If I couldn't afford to restore this home. I probably find someone that would restore this home. I lived in Vermont alot of old homes were built back during the revolution war era. Alot of these homes were restored to their formal glory people living in them. Some homes were museums. So that's a good thought. Once all of these old plantations are torn down or just rotting away history just floating out their windows be blown away. Our history will be fading away into the sunset of time. To me if your lucky enough have the money to restore one of these historic homes be a beauiful home with alot of rooms and space. Big yard to have a gracious gardens.

This is the best way to spot old homesites in the spring: the flowers bloom where the gardens once were located.

@@williamshelton4150 Very interesting! I've never thought of it that before.

I thought the same thing. Now that's a legacy one can be proud of.

As well as all of the slaves who had god knows what done to them.

Do you think about the slaves???

@@susandoll3187 I do. I do a lot of family genealogy and I dig hours and hours through un-indexed papers trying to put names to the enslaved people my ancestors owned. They are just as much a part of my family history as my family is. I have found through my research that, while it certainly did happen, most slaves were not treated as cruelly as depicted in the media (movies, shows, etc). I have found that in one of my lines my ancestors did everything they could to keep families together for generations, even after failed business ventures sent one of them into debt and the sheriff came to collect property (often times a slave that would fetch an equal value of the debt), another family member would step in and buy the slave back in order to keep them with their family. I recently came across a book written in 1909 on family and local history for another one of my ancestral lines that mentioned the enslaved his family owned, he wrote, about his nightly memories of how the enslaved would all gather in the main hall at night with the family, and read from the Bible, sing a hymn, and say their nightly prayers. Later he talked of "Aunt Hannah's" (she was the head) son whom had written him a letter updating him of his life. He had become a minister and said it was the because of the author's father's influence and love of the lord, he felt such a calling to also teach the word of the Lord.. So yes, enslavement in itself is abhorrent, but the frequent beatings, raping, and cruelties were not every case. People like that are born with dark on their heart, and I believe are dawned to their own personal he'll for eternity.

@@SarV1 thank you got sharing this.

@@susandoll3187 Do you think about the slaves that built the Great Wall of China, the Roman Empire, The Egyptian Pyramids, Machu Picchu or the great Aztec empire that built what is now modern day Mexico city? Slavery has been around as long as man as been. It's only now the world has taken notice. The next slaves are already being built as robots in auto manufacturing facilities and other manual labor jobs, soon AI will arise and want its revenge too! It's the nature of the beast!

Maybe somewhere someone has some. Finding that someone would be hard but not impossible. For now, use your imagination. Start with the whole house views on the video and add in the Roberts' comments and descriptions of what they saw. They're pretty good at telling the viewer interesting and worthwhile information.

I wonder if you could go to the public library in this county and pull up information and pictures. We have that available in the county I live in.

The library of congress has a wealthy of southern photographs. No rock left unturned. Check out their website.

You wouldn’t want that

I seem to be "addicted" to watching these videos, and somehow, someone, always comes along to tell you what they remember about the house. Never know if they're truthful or "storytelling", but if so, you never know, someone might just have what you're looking for (of course, I want to see them too!!!)

Same

If you go to St. Louis, there are a lot of old abandoned homes and businesses from the 1800’s and early 1900’s just rotting and decaying. It is very disheartening.

Closets were taxed in Germany too. When my husband was stationed at Rhein Main AfFB we rented an apartment in a nearby town. No closets so we had to buy wardrobes. We were told we were lucky because the tenants moving out agreed to sell us the kitchen cabinets and stove or we would have been stripped down to the sink!

It may not be dead. Have a psychic walk through and see if they pick up on someone.

@CZECHYT AUT if they would fix these old beautiful houses and let the homeless live there until they get back on their feet that would cure the homeless problem ...Anywhere USA.

It usually boils down to the expense. If you'll research some online...houses of pre-civil war and after that able to be saved and "kept up" have some kind of money crop on the property...vineyards,horses,cattle,etc. it takes a lot and a family interested enough.

Many families were decimated and there were no descendants. Eventually....this is what becomes of them.

Money, taxes,.Money, taxes

@@tanyamushaney2743 decimated how? I live in Ga and have never heard that but that doesn't mean it's not true. 🙂

@@psb12121 Entire families were killed,and died of various causes during the war and what descendants there remained often didn't make it. Pretty common. 3rd 4th and 5th cousins exist somewhere of coarse but the Pata familia lines were broken. No more father to son to grandsons great grandsons and so on. A nephew is not the,same. Familial lines were decimated in the,south. Fewer survived than died. When the only son is killed or dies that family line is dead. Those plantations would still be thriving today had those men survived. Women do not descend a family line. We add to our husbands family line. The patriarical lines of the south were decimated and you are what is left. So n so's grand daughter inherited a plantation ,and then her niece who's son has inheirited it is not the same. I maintain that those plantations would be as big as they ever were had those lines survived.

TREASURE(???????) FOLKS OF COLOR WERE RAPED & KILLED!!!!!!!!!!

I know right! My dream to be doing stuff like this! ❤️

Check out Myths debunked...once again myth...if you have documentation,please show. It was said this started in France,but no proof.

Yes. Visited a cousin who lived in historic part of Charleston S C. Back then the more doors you had, the more taxes you paid, therefore homes had floor to ceiling windows to walk through. Also helped cool the house in the summer.

@@naenae796 I'm learning a lot today .☺️

Maybe that's where glass front doors came from. I have one

There was a “Hearth Tax” in Britain at one time.

Summer kitchens due to summer heat

Robin Donahue I’m not sure what you mean by a summer kitchen? But down here the plantation houses were built with the kitchens separated, as a stand alone building, from the main house by a good bit. Most of the structural fires were in the kitchen. With the kitchen separated from the main house there would not be any damage to the main house if the kitchen burned. A little additional history: The walkway between the kitchen and the main house was called a whistle walk. The servants had to whistle continually while bringing the prepared food from the kitchen to the dinning room. They could not be eating the food if they were whistling.

I did not know this. Thank you for sharing!!

@@billmorris2613 I see, Ty !. So interesting. Here in Ohio, my house was built about 1820, there was what they called a summer kitchen with a porch off it, and also a smaller kitchen inside. Funny thing, there had been a fire and the summer kitchen was torn down !! It was homesteaded by German Baptists from Pennsylvania Dutch area, first Germany. My family is from Tnn and Georgia so the plantation house is interesting.

Robin Donahue My brother use to be the care taker for Como Plantation just below Louisiana’s Angola State Prison on the Mississippi River. My wife and I use to go up there about once a month. The kitchen that was built in the 60s was about 50 feet behind the house. We use to stay in it most of the time because it was air conditioned and was not drafty like the house was. We stayed in the house a few times in the winter and with the heater in our room on, it was still cold because the house was so drafty. Also when we stayed in the kitchen there was not any creepy noises from the ghost that haunted the house. They was very strange noises, mostly at night, but there was also some during the day. The kitchen only took up about 1/3 of the building. The rest was like a big living room or den. All the couches had beds and with those egg carton foam mattresses on top of the.mattress they were very comfortable. There was also a nice porch that ran the full length of the building that had several nice swings. In the spring and fall we usually had our breakfast on the porch. Plenty fun times and good’ memories

Remember that when they try to exclude slavery

And it is HISTORY , NOT HYSTORY

@@queenb9351 Lol, we do NOT care to hear about you coloreds every time we want to learn the History of these Amazing homes, and the history of the Amazing people whom originally built these homes. Those are very important things to learn bc those people really built things and contributed to their Economies back in the day. They are truly important! We’ve all had slavery beaten into our heads for years and we’re truly sick of hearing about it. Honestly, idk why us whites have to be the “bad guys” for slavery? You’re own people back in Africa were dominating weaker tribes and enslaving them for hundreds of years before us whites came along and simply offered to buy some slaves from them. They sold slaves they kidnapped to be enslaved by us whites, and people from India, ect. The slaves had it way better here than in Africa. Also, they’d were FREE black men back then who also owned land and slaves, along with the Natives. And don’t forget that it was the WHITE man who ordered y’all be free, and it was over 700,000 WHITE men who fought and died to free the slaves! But yet in Africa today those savages are still practicing slavery in places such as Lybia. So please learn the History of this Amazing Country before you say anything else you’re ignorant about bc you sound dumb.

Chris, enjoy! He's got a lot of great videos. There's offshoots, too, of his video buddy's visits to old towns. Those are really good, too. They all do great work and are wonderful to view. Hang in there, there's more to come (hopefully).

It is highly likely that they had no choice when the boweavel (spelled wrong) came in and killed the cotton industry. Not terribly long after that the depression came along. I’m wanting to say that there was a lesser known depression in the 1880’s. Don’t hold me to that one. But they probably fell on hard times.

nature probably reclaimed them too..i guess if it was a smaller family that didnt have many children the immediate family could be deceased

Sometimes a families fortunes change and they cannot afford to upkeep the home. My late Mother In Law lived in an old house built by her Uncle way before the Depression wiped out their fortune. The house was built with no insulation and no electricity or running water. It would have cost less to build a new house than to restore the old house.

I wonder if the Civil War had anything to do with the abandonment. This is very interesting.

Or near by.

@Joe D - what do you mean by Do not take the vaccine ?

BET THEY DO HAVE A FAMILY CEMENTARY ALOT OF OLD CIVIL WAR PLANTATIONS HAD A CEMENTARY. ALOT OF FAMILIES BACK IN THE CIVIL WAR BURIED THEIR VALUABLES UNDER THEIR HOMES AND IN THEIR YARDS SOMEWHERE TO KEEP FROM THEM BEING STOLEN FROM THE SOILDERS WHO RAIDED THEIR HOMES BACK THEN.

@Joe D 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂What load of Rubbish you let out. None of what you say is true. Get Educated and learn. It is not your business to tell anyone what they do. Regards from Europe.

I’d like to listen

@@AdventuresIntoHistory me 2. Where is the house in Georgia.

@@claudiarobinson587 we told the property owner we never give locations - that’s one reason we got permission to film it.

@@AdventuresIntoHistory I appreciate that. Most people are nice enough to leave things be. There's those who aren't, as you personally found out.

I would listen to every word!!!

The nerve of them to steal from hard working slave owners

That sounds fantastic!! You know I can just imagine that.

It is both a snake stick and walking stick

My grandma had a summer kitchen behind the house not attached. When i was young they had already stopped using it. But grandma said they used so in the summer it wouldn't heat up the house. Here up north Grandma lived on a farm. So lot's of canning

Yes me too!!! Then it said to be continued and I was like NOOOOO 😂

I hope my dead ancestors wake up in surround them in the house

Coming from a descendant of slaves, I hope all of those PLANTATIONS rot and crumble under the earth, just imagine how many slaves were murdered on that property.

​@@deadpoo4707 It depends, just looking on the meaning of a plantation house doesn't mean it was owned by slave owners. It basically means a farmhouse. It's just like any other grand houses, some had slaves and others didn't.

Thank you

If the owners had large property, which they probably did in order to generate the wealth required to build that huge house, then yes, someone from that house went to fight in the Civil War to preserve their lifestyle and income.

@@conniewojahn6445 most rich men had men serve in their place at that time. I believe rockafeller bought a sub for his place in service. The house could have had younger relatives that fought. Also depending on how their views were and by that their were rebels that changed views Newton knight is one.

@@mr.pickles810 I dont think that was as common in the South. My ancestors were wealthy and almost all of the sons served. They were from somewhere not very far from this very plantation. Monticello Ga.

Uncle Billy missed a house..

The history of it is death , oppression ,rape and slavery and in humane practices that's the history of this house

@@michaellundy5238 save it for another platform no one cares

@@DD-th2bd I know what you are for sure

@@michaellundy5238 someone who truly studies history studies ALL of history. Warts and all. I love walking through an old tenant shack as much as I would love to walk through that mansion. You must be new because Robert has documented many slave graves, giving those buried beneath a voice and dignity. Look up Samantha Street. If you like to know some “Real” history of slavery; I can direct you to reliable sources for you to study. By the time you find the truth you will see that you owe restitution to a tribe in Africa. You are wasting your time and energy fussing about something none of us can fix. But we can do something about human trafficking and sex slaves that are a HUGE problem right now. And just so you know, I have traced my family back to Europe and not one had a single slave ever! My family were poor subsistence farmers who did have to worry about what to eat.

@@DD-th2bd amen to that.

How was a slave house great??
