I see there were 62 people who did not like this video. Really? There's just no accounting for taste or the lack there of! This is a fantastic video! Once these historic homes (or their fireplaces, or windows, or hardwood floors, or crown moulding, etc.) are gone, they're gone forever! Thank you for reminding us how important our shared history really is.

I appreciate the affection younger folks have for historic preservation. Every time I see the slipshod construction going into mall buildings in my area I remember all the historic homes I saw in my youth traveling to and from Louisiana and long for those simpler times when a home lasted more than a hundred years because of its craftsmanship. I hope in my time I can enlarge the trust.

Thank you so much. We need to share our past with future generations.

Glad to see these buildings will be restored. History matters.

These wonderful houses can never be replaced. They should be loved and cared for by everyone.

I really appreciate people who refurbish these beautiful homes. It's our history, not to just let fall apart. That was beautifully done, thank you so much. I love old Southern homes. My brother went to school in Bardstown in the 60's it was originally a Civil War hospital.

Beautifully done. I love history and old architecture. Being a California native and never having had the opportunity to travel back east, I really enjoy seeing and hearing about the wonderful history of our country back where things started.

What an absolutely beautiful video. I was sad to see the McDowell House probably won't be restored. And I wish people wouldn't repurpose these homes into businesses...it would be so nice to have people actually live in them as homes once more. You did a beautiful job with the camera work and commentary. Congratulations!

I love the way you begin this video, explaining to folks the importance of local landmark buildings and why communities should strive to preserve them. Beautifully done!

Thank you. I love history. Thank you for sharing

One of the best documentaries I've seen on this topic. Thank you for sharing and giving us a glimpse into a life long gone. The Civil War does not evoke thoughts of beauty or happy times but these historical homes were beautiful; and glad to know those that remain are being restored. Happy times or sad, it is all important and must be preserved when able.

I was born and raised in Kentucky,but now I live in Germany...I love this so very much!

I'm so pleased that someone took an interest to save all these home's

what can I say the previous appreciative commenters haven't already said? You have such a gift of telling the story and showing respect for these peoples and their homes. Your gift is badly needed to remind us that these beautiful historical places and their former families mattered. These homes spoke to me. Thank you, Kentucky Urbex!

I like the way you have such great respect for the people and the houses they called home.

Wonderful!!! I really liked this film and it gives me hope for some of these beautiful old homes. At the same time it deeply saddens me because there are some beyond repair and more will be for lack of funds and so many people don't care about our history. When you think about it, the all of the history in the United States is barely a blink. We should save what we can!

Vickie seemed very well read about the history of Perryville. Wonderful documentary of that part of Kentucky. After reading other comments on this, there's really nothing more to be said, except THANK YOU for sharing.

Nice video! Thank you! Be nice to have volunteers from the community help restore historical buildings.

Thank-You Kentucky Urbex! You have a WONDERFUL speaking voice. I can tell you have a gentle and loving nature, especially to these BEAUTIFUL OLD HOMES!!!! I'm a PROUD KENTUCKIAN myself!!!! My maiden name is Grimes :-)

What lovely, lovely, gracious houses. So good to know they are being maintained and restored. Really enjoyed watching this. Well done to everyone involved. Thank you.

Love these old house's! Awesome video, great job! :)

Well Done Chris, Enjoyed this Very Much!...The Government Should Pay to Have these Historical Homes reburbished, Instead of Wasting Trillions of dollars on wars that Never end!..This is Our History and Needs to be Preserved...

very well done. Your best yet. Thank you from a native Kentuckian.

Good work. Beautifully shot, edited, and presented. Explaining and showing the possibilities, as well as the properties that may be beyond reclamation, is an important lesson in preservation. Kentucky is a beautiful state with a rich cultural and architectural history. I lived in both Versailles and downtown Lexington in the late 1970s and began restoration on an 1830s brick house in the city. Left subsequently to relocate in Charleston and then back to Atlanta. In looking back I often have twinges of personal guilt that I should have remained in the state and have carried great memories throughout the years of its beautiful architecture and breathtaking landscapes. Keep up the good work of saving a beautiful piece of the planet. Thanks.

A truly impressive piece of work Chris! You've made me take a second look at our hometown and see it as something more than "just..." thank you!

This was absolutely spectacular. I can't thank you enough Kentucky Urbex for your efforts and time that went into making one of your best ever videos. You care as much as I do. What do you do though when you get caught up in red tape BS? When you lose something that has become an important part of your life, I liken it to losing a very good and trusted friend. It makes me so sad to see some historic buildings where I live just rot. They just tore down a century field stone farm house to make way for new development, new subdivisions and more chaos. I appealed to the historical board so many times but to no avail the walls came tumbling down. It was a house, a home to a farmer and his family. It made me so sad. I must say that your choice of music was superb and evoked so many emotions within me. A beautifully documented video. Thank you so much for letting me live vicariously through one of the most beautiful urbex videos ever. I have travelled to Kentucky and Tennessee and they are without a doubt two of the most beautiful states ever. A heart felt thank you! CANADA

What a wonderful video. Congrats to all who are in the process of refurbishing these houses. Was in Perryville two years ago and saw the one large home near the cave. Hope to return to KY soon once this quarantine is lifted. Thank you again.

Thx 4 sharing. Love historical homes and hearing about their people

Absolutely WONDERFUL VIDEO!! I LOVE when the history of each home is given and told along with the viewing of each home and the area. You can almost visualize being there at that actual time period...I love these homes. Thank you very much. Enjoyed immensely. 😀

Thank you for sharing the history that I never knew is so exciting 😊 👏

I was actually moved to tears (happy ones!) seeing the reconstruction and renovations of some of these gorgeous homes. :) All I could say was "WOW!" over and over. I've seen all of your videos but this one was the icing on the cake. I've always wished I had the money and the time to rescue these historic homes around the country. I can't express in words how much I appreciate the work you do documenting these places for all to see. Keep up the great work, I look forward to your next video!! Kudos from Massachusetts! :) :)

I enjoyed every minute of this thoughtful documentary. Had this video been by anyone else, I would have thought twice about watching it (being 35 minutes long), but I knew it would be worth my time... and it was. Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing more of your work. :-)

Well done! Thank you for your involvement in preservation of our history.

Such a beautiful film, enjoyed it very much. Thank you for sharing it.

🌿 Jan 2020...used to live in Danville and work at the Ephraim McDowell Hospital. Lovely video and delightful yet sad trip down memory lane.

Luv the video beautiful footage and historical background information was really great, .I hope these homes are preserved because this is Americas history and the energy of these homes, families that lived there , events that occurred in or near ... i just can't imagine being able to actually walk inside , transport back to another time & just appreciate it all .

I wish they all could be saved. Make into a bed and breakfast...a quilt and yarn shop...a restaurant...oh how I wish I could save them all! Such a wonderful video of an era gone by...kind of sad...like walking through a neglected graveyard.

That last home oh my gosh how beautiful.

Beautifully done video. Brilliant narrative. Very moving. Thank you.

Beautiful documentary.

I enjoyed this immensely. Thank you so much!

I can tell a tremendous amount of work went into this video. So well made.

I highly recommend this video to all us folks self isolating these days! Very calming...

Chris your vidiography is outstanding!! I watch all your videos and I think yours is the absolute best. Thanks for this and keep up the great work!

Absolutely beautiful documentary Wonderful photography and music

The very best video I have seen. Thanks for posting.

My God, this is so disturbing to see these mansions rot away. Once lost they are gone forever and ever.

I love that you didn't cover up the sound of going up the stairs. It was almost like going back in time.

Thank you for saving these Beauties! & History!!!💜

This was well done, loved the music & you have a very pleasant narrating voice! loved the history & i learned about the distillery there! We have a new distllery here in clarksville too!...Will have to make a trip up to Danville to go exploring! Thank you for the video!!

Your vids are crazy good! Very poetic and poignant! A++++++ Greetings from Illinois! I plan on binge watching over next few weeks!

So well done. I am a Kentuckian and proud of it. You do its history justice. I am looking forward to more from you. Thank you so much.

Thank you Chis, that was excellent. I just found, and subbed, your channel yesterday. I have now binge watched all your videos from the first through this one and have enjoyed them all. You do great video work and I really enjoy the soundtrack you put with each video. I especially like some of your intro songs. Also, thank you for not treating the lens like a light saber as some Urbex do. Too many seem to move the camera around quickly so that the viewer can't get a good idea of what is being shot. You tend to let the lens rest on interesting shots so that we can get a more full experience of what you are seeing.To me, it tells a better story that way. And thank you for capturing the history of these sites. Many are disappearing and you are creating a record of them for the future. I can't wait to see what you have coming up in the future. Keep up the great work!

Very cool, thanks for showing

Well made. This is Mainstream Tv quality. I enjoyed the history lesson. Beautiful homes. Thankyou, cheers.

Very Well Done! Thank you so much for the tour and the history that each place had.

Thanks so much..👍📻🤠🧺🥖

Thank you again for a great video, and interesting history.

Thoroughly enjoyed this... fascinating

So tenderly and artfully done.I forgot that I was watching a video and was just,there.Thank you

What an amazing history documentary!!

Thank you for sharing your wonderful rich history!

This was a great documentary, well done nice edit and very good comment, loved watching it.

Great video!! Thank you for sharing!! :)

Have been to the Park's house a couple of times when in Perryville for the Battle. I love this old house. I wish we could live there.

My family spent over 20 years in a Beautiful old brick mansion on Walnut Hill Chilesburg rd in Lexington. Built by the Clark Family, it was Beautiful on 250 acres. Both the house and the rd are gone now...so sad.

Beautiful narration, and history. Love that some of these old homes are being restored, and or being repurposed. Although some are to late for restoration, they can be documented as you are doing now. Hopefully by your videos people will see how important it is to preserve, and save some of these old homes before they are beyond repair. I thank you, I am trying to catch up with your old videos. You have done a magnificent job.

Job very well done.

13:40 sitting room be luxury studio fireplace large windows room has comfy feel. Love this room the most! Nice

Thank you for this video. It's beautifully done. Sad to see some I these fantastic homes deteriorate. What I wouldn't give for some of them.

Beatuiful and moving.

beautiful touching video!

This us beautiful , I really enjoyed this video ...

So interesting, thank you so much.

Thank you again for your videos very interesting your history

Love this video! This is how it should be done. it's so much more interesting to know something about the history of the house! Quality is awesome! Great job!

wow, Thank you so much. So interesting ..

I've heard ALL MY LIFE that Kentucky was considered 'NEUTRAL' during the 'Civil War.' Apparently, NOT ALL of Kentucky, huh?! Which I actually knew, but I'm still hearing people say that!!!!

I don’t know anything about Kentucky but it’s a “SAPPY” story.

Well done!!! I enjoyed it immensely! I would love an update to see if the homes in poorer condition have been restored to live forever more! Thank you!

dope!

very professionally done. Many thanks for sharing

Woah I had no idea that the Christian Gore house was used for any of that and I see it like everyday.

Bravo, so very interesting and you have the love your voice.

This is great so interesting thank you for sharing this with us 👍👍💙 new subb :)

Wonderful documentary, I liked the way you included each home's history. I wonder why the parents had to move near their son Caleb, especially since they returned after his death. Was he sickly, so they moved to care for him, or perhaps a widower with small children for whom he needed help? I'm guessing sickly since he predeceased his parents by a number of years. My son and his partner recently bought (nearly 2 years ago) an historic home in Louisville. My son had his heart set on a Victorian home and they relocated to Kentucky from California. I'm going to tell them about this video so they can stop by if a road trip takes them near.

Excellent job

Well Done Friend..

So horrible how you could be forced out of your home in a moment.

I would love to know more about the area I live in. North Mercer County, KY in the Talmage-Mayo , Terrapin , McAfee, Salvisa area. I have been told of civil war hospitals , soldier trails , Indian mounds , caves and all sorts of other things that transpired long ago.

Why’d they only find his head?! I’m on the edge of my seat over here! Great video

nice video man
