Settlers first arrived here as far back as 1765, back then it was mostly tobacco fields, and these crops are what started the first boom in the regions economy. After many decades of more people finding the town, it was mostly widely known as a stop along a horse and carriage trail. Travelers would arrive in town after long distances, with many more miles to go. There was over 20 business's in Union Level's peak. Banks, General Stores, Dance Halls and many more of these structures are left behind today. We will be uncovering some history and exploring the Remains of this former tobacco town. if you enjoy, please leave a thumbs up!

That dog was way too friendly and comfortable around humans to be abandoned and didn't want/need much water. Definitely an outdoor pet someone is caring for. also went back the way he came so probably has a home. But you and your team are very sweet to animals, so thank you for offering water. What a beautiful old town this must have been in its heyday.

The dog isn't skinny, she's actually at a decent weight. Can't see any protruding bones. And given her friendly demeanor I would assume she's someone's pet who just has free roam. Not uncommon in the south, my dad lives in the deep country of North Carolina and it's very common for dogs to live completely outside, they run around and approach people, but they know where their homes are and don't wander too far. With that being said I really HOPE she's not abandoned. Given the fact that people are feeding the cats she probably does have contact with other humans in some way, shape or form.

This place died out around 1985 according to a former resident . I was so fascinated by it I scoured the web for more info . I remember seeing places like this when I first started driving in the early 1980s in upstate new york and even New Jersey where I grew up that still had residents and are no longer there or the same . Really cool video

So many commenters here are totally clueless about rural living. It's very common for country folks to let their pets roam free. The dog looks fine and happy and likely lives nearby. He can certainly find its way back home easily. It's bizarre how many of you are advocating straight-up kidnapping the dog and dropping it off at a shelter. Don't meddle in things you don't understand...

I grew up just down the road from this place in Chase City. Plenty of intersections out in the country just like this around that-way. That whole region of south side Virginia was once the wealthiest part of the state, and the whole south really up until the turn of the 20th century (1900s), so there's a lot of this kind of stuff around.. The original Randolph Macon college is down the road out in the woods if you know where to look, but it's gonna go soon if it hasn't already. Sadly that boom for this region ended long before my lifetime. It's been seeing significant development in the past few years though. Great motorcycle riding out there too, miss it! Great video, I hope it blows up!

I understand your young and you to you it may appear to have been abandoned in the early 1900s, I see a lot of a blast from my past with all the typewriters, beds and other furniture that was the modern technology. I grew up in the 60s and 70s and after watching this, my estimate of complete abandonment seems to have occurred in the early 80s, was the last to leave this town. They did keep some of the old relics of its youth bit, they did also, grow with the times. I know that the 60s and 70s may seem like a 100 years to you because of your youth but really, that town has only been abandoned for about 50 years now. Great history though.

So many homeless people, and we’re wasting taxpayer money bussing immigrants to wherever. Why not have both groups resettle in ghost towns? I mean the issue is mostly where to put them, and in the old days, immigrants were quickly made legalized citizens and persuaded to settle out west with very little. As a community they found ways to build, grow/raise food, and acquire water. They established their own towns, schools, and such. I mean, this town is too far gone, for safety reasons, I wouldn’t recommend it, but there are communities abandoned in the later part of the 20th century that still can be saved and be used.

She said after awhile she got busy with School and life an just never thought to go back an explore to see how Old it was for sure, as the Old Homested had been passed down quite a few Generations. My Grandpa Passed an the Old Homested was sold to Wild Life Presvation Company. Now it Private Property so No telling. It was Pretty Old in the 30's it would be nice to find out.

That wooden item with the masonic symbol on it is to teach about some of the history and terminology. If you notice the two pillars, I believe its supposed to represent King Solomon's Temple.

Buildings are old, most furnishings are from the 60's plus. ""Union Level is a census-designated place in Mecklenburg County, Virginia. The population as of the 2010 Census was 188."" pretty cool video

WOW, I LOVE THE VERY BEGINNING OF THIS FILM, SEEING ALL THOSE OLD BUILDINGS. I TRY TO VISUALIZE HOW IT WOULD HAVE LOOKED BACK THEN, I GET A GOOD FEELING DEEP INSIDE! I LOVE STUFF LIKE THIS.''

Interesting video. Glad you included some before photos of the history. My ancestors were from S.W. Va in a small town named Atkins.

Thanks Devin. Appreciate the tour. Amazes me what current Contactors could learn from 'the old days' in structures. Stay safe

That cylindrical item at the 'yard sale' looks like an antique butter churn.

Great video. Sounds like a fair amount of drive-through traffic passing down the road.

I love areas that are abandoned and being reclaimed by nature. It’s amazing the way trees are nature’s primary driving force of destroying manmade structures and restoring the place back to a natural state. There is a lot of history in that little ghost town. By the way, I live in that little trailer home across the street. Just kidding!

You can drive many a back road, here in NC while going from big city to big city following some route on WAZE...and find places like this. Looked like something big was going on back when/then..Some even have "seasonal" we are here open for business, giving dates etc. Kinda sad you wonder why these mini towns grew up and who was the last one out.

The green utility pole is a lot mewer than the supposed abandonment of that town.
