When I see houses like that I think about the people that built it and the first people to live there filled with pride and excitement. And now it sits empty waiting for nature to take it back.

Frog Hollow, also known as the Samuel Ryland Garden Park, is a tract of land encompassing about 28 acres with a small house, natural trails and picnic pavilion. The site was willed in trust to the South Schuylkill Garden Club to be developed in memory of Samuel Ryland by his granddaughter, Elsie Krammes.

Love the house and that shaker blue/green paint on the trim inside.....

That's a beautiful quaint house. I always feel sad walking away from homes like that.

That house was very quaint and would be perfect for you as its set right in amongst the trees and wildlife, and if that wasn't awesome enough it is right next to the creek. A beautiful area to wake up to each morning, thanks for sharing.

Wow, I would definitely love to live in that old home! Plus, to sit alongside the creek. I smoke a pipe, and that is the ideal place to sit, relax, and puff away on one's pipe.

Omg I love that house.

Keep up the good work, Cliff! We love your videos.

Love your new house. Thanks for taking me along

I love that house I wouldn't mind living there at all thanks for sharing!

I could live there to it's Beautiful I just started watching your channel love he history and and nature

That house looks to be in good enough condition to restore. I've seen many far worse that have been saved and restored!

You of all people really need a place like this one somewhere similar to this one. A Wandering Woodsman Wigwam. Thanks for another great video. Very nice park with a lovely creek and house. Have a fine autumn! Daveyjo in Lancaster Co.

Ever been told ur a special soul? Hope so. Cuz U R. I want my sons to learn from U that we can B compassionate n still stand our ground, I want them to see a hunk of wood is alive w memories n hope. & how very brave it is 2B different. :-p And...EWWW you're down in the dregs again - YECH! LOL

What an awesome place to live

That old house was awesome. I hope you find your place someday.

I love your videos because it's sooo different from Florida, where I live.

Such a cute little house. Would be lovely restored.

The foundation is nothing but stacked rocks and a little bit of mortar. This house would've caved in long ago if not for those added concrete reinforcements. I'm sure the insulation, if there is any, is just crumpled up old newspapers too. Been in many of these kinds of houses up in north Jersey. Other than the foundation, this house looks to be in pretty good shape. Some minor repairs, some new flooring and some paint and this house would look great and perfectly habitable. Just nice to see an old house just sitting in the woods that isn't completely destroyed by kids and graffiti. That's a rare sight in America.

I really appreciate how you identify the flora and fauna, and what is & isn’t safe to eat. It means a lot to me. Thank you.

What a darling find! Love that house and the creek - oh my! Always a nice day for a walk in the woods

Thanks WW! That old house begs to be restored. What a great old house. I can see you sitting by the fireside reading about wild flowers. One day you certainly deserve finding your dream home in a setting like this. Thanks Again! DaveyJO

Is there no hole you won't crawl into?

Loved the house! Cool little place!!

The house needs water and septic which means you would have to dig. Also, no electric wires visible so it would involve living off-grid unless you can get the electric co to run lines back there (very costly). Also, no visible right of way for vehicle ingress/egress which would mean dealing with zoning boards. It would take a ton of money plus lots of headaches to try to turn that place into a dream home. It needs a total gut. Probably at least $500,000 just to get it into livable condition, that's assuming all the "other" elements fall into place.

What a heavenly place. Thank you for sharing.

It looks beautiful there.

Nice little house! Who cares if it doesnt have hydro or pluming!

great hike watch for snakes!

Staying hydrated will keep misketerss away tip I lernd in Canada in bug country

Such a charming fairy tale of a house!

What a beautiful place to have a home

Looks like a dog skeleton. Poor animal, maybe, died of starvation if it were domesticated. So sad😢. The house is nice and quaint and in a great position. Certainly would have some peace and quiet if you lived there. Thank you for sharing. Beautiful filming.

in some places the local authority sells abandoned homes dirt cheap to get people in and paying taxes etc, not all places though

Beautiful country

Beautiful park.... The house is amazing!!!

I love the house and property so beautiful. Thank you for sharing

I noticed most of the trees are young. That last catipillar was pretty. Miss seeing more wildlife and flora. Hope you take us along when you find the perfect home.

Cliff your camera is great, very beautiful & vibrant green. It's cool how nature takes it all back. 🙂👍

As someone who lives in the Los Angeles area of Southern California, the thing that jumps out at me in of most of your videos is the absence of other people. Also, how green and beautiful the countryside is in your immediate area! Of course, I do have to remind myself that I live in a desert, albeit a largely irrigated one. I'm with you on that house! It looked so dreamy, like something out of a fairytale nestled in the woods like that. I wonder who lived in it and how long ago? I'll definitely be Googling "Frog Hollow" just as soon as I send on this message. Thanks for sharing your adventure!

I find it amazing how the earth can take back the land if its not maintained

Maybe some day you find your home.. Beautiful video And enjoy seeing the sights..

Omg an outhouse. LoL house would definitely need some updating. This house would be great to renovate.

Yiu would have way too much company with all those mosquitos

Nice house

That is a beautiful place. The home is perfect. Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could get and restore in honor of the family and historic marker.

Little House on the Prairie..lol

I agree it could be a nice place to live. Might want to do some work on the outhouse.

another great vid. Thanx. What was NOT in "Frog Hollow"? Frogs. . .not even a toad. Beautiful little house. Wonder if it belonged to 'Elsie Krammer' or her family? Have a great weekend Woodsman!

Peaceful area.

probably settled quite a bit. my place settled and the floors are not level anymore. not much you can do about it but tear down and rebuild.

Why doesn't someone take care of that house! It still could be brought back to life, but if the people who administer the trust [the South Schuylkill Garden Club] don't take the steps necessary to do so, it will soon be too late! I'm sure they could find a caretaker to live there and watch over the property. It's so beautiful!

Aren't the gutters a bit of a modern touch as well? The house itself looks very, very old, but maybe has a few modern updates? I wonder what the inside is like.

Cool

I think the house was built onto. I only saw one chimney so that would be the original home

good video

This is the only onteresting place in Sckukyll County.

you can eat Pignuts (I like them). Shagbarks are good too.

I wonder when was the last time that house was lived in or even used for whatever... 🤔

I got stung on the neck a few years ago by a white caterpillar. I whelped and saw spots. Not fun. I was ginsinging with my family. Please pack a gun when you go out!

Blair witch stuff there ... Lol learned new things about Hickery today . thanks

I think there's also granger hickory nut. There's a guy from my husband's church that knows I love nuts and will give me a bag at Christmas time.

I doubt there is security on that house as well. unless they have some kinda trail cam setup somewhere.

I think the house just crock.see the ghost just kidding

Too lonely to live in woods ? Safe? Bones underground room ?! Yikes...

I observed you seemed to have been bitten on your neck while in that wood. I absolutely hate mosquitoes and will avoid them no matter what......did you put repellent on before going out? I found myself itching while watching this. You don't seem to be concerned a bit by the pesky insects. Ergo. your desire to live in a place like this all the time. A true woodsman.

A) are you allergic to poison ivy? B ) how do you carry your camera while walking without making it very Blair witch Project. I dont feel like I need a double dose of dramamine watching it . C) I realize this was uploaded in October but when did you hike it? The vibrant green and all the moss made me think spring. So gorgeous.

someone's skeleton? lol

😯😯😯😯😯
