That was so touching and moving to watch. I spent almost all of my childhood in an old run down farmhouse living a lot of my young years with my grandma and grandpa Torsey. Grandpa was killed at age 90. He didn't die naturally unfortunately. Grandma was in her 80s and couldn't continue on in the house since the lack of plumbing and central heat and proper electric would have been hard on her alone. She moved in with mom and dad and our already run down home was abandoned. A lady bought its bones and moved it from NH and resurrected it in VT. I remember my last night in my special little home. My grandpa was my best friend and losing him so needlessly and so quickly with me being only 13 was just too much to bear. His life was taken just outside the house in the field on October 31st 1985. The grass was still and dead, the leaves were dying and so was I. I could still feel his soul around me that night. My baby cousin needed to be fed so I cooked some chicken noodle soup on the woodstove that both heated our home and cooked our meals for well over 100 years. That was our last meal in that house. A can of Campbell's chicken noodle soup. I ate none as I was so sick to my stomach from losing my best friend. Although way bigger than my beloved home, this house looks very much the way ours did when we were still living in it so it really tugged at my heartstrings. Grandma used to nail cardboard over the holes in the walls to keep the wind and cold out. I could almost feel myself being transported home through your video. Thank you for bringing me home in my heart one last time. God bless.

The woodworking is interesting. They made cabinets to order just to fit their needs! I'd love to excise the cabinets, have them redone, and put them to use! I can see them making dinner and reaching out for the spices, and the wife saying, Archie, put the shelf here, and make sure the Morton salt can fit! Or, Archie, I want to pull out some storage here, this one could house my baking pans. And right next to it a bin to hold flour! The house was just right for them. Lovely choice for your explore...very well planned and accomplished. Bravo! Hi to your beautiful wife and a hug to your Rottweiler, was it Ruby? My memory for names is failing. Soon to be 77.

Those cabinets appear to be typical 60s plywood style. My first impression was that they were put up years later than that, that they were somebody's used cabinets from a remodeling, and gracisiously given to the couple to allow them to live at least a bit more modernly than using crude ancient cupboards.

Great video, so sad it had to be torn down, but we are rapidly losing all of the old original farm houses out there. When I was kid in the '70's, there were still a lot of houses like that still being lived in, that were built in the 1800's. My great grandparents lived in a farm house similar to this one, and I remember spending weekends with them sometimes. No plumbing, same wash pan for a sink, and just a well outside, and an outhouse, and bed pans if you had to pee during the night. They got electricity in the '40's so they did have power when I stayed there as a kid. Most of their furniture was from the '20's or earlier, but I didn't know that at the time. They were married in 1910 and built their farm house on family land around 1912. They both passed away in 1980 and the house was bought, and moved to another location somewhere, so it may still exist. You guys that do these abandoned house explorations are really cool and doing a great job, keep it up and be safe.

Thanks for making a record of this place before it's demolished. I have some information on some of items that you were unsure about. First of all, that outbuilding with the "stalls" & that machine in the doorway was the granary. That machine is a grain cleaner. Then you were wondering why the rain gutters & channels were run all across the outside of the house. You could see that they were joined together & fed into the water cistern. The pipe that was cut off at the kitchen sink was where the cistern pump was. Rain water would run into the cistern. Then they would use the small hand pump aka cistern pump to get water, when they needed it. My aunt & uncle had the same system, on their farm, down by New Ulm. When they retired, in the late 70s, they sold the farm & that's when the place finally got running water. My in-laws never had running water either. But they didn't have a cistern, so they had to haul their water in 5 gallon buckets. It wasn't until my brother-in-law built a new house, in 2005, that he finally got running water. It's also apparent, that when they needed more room, they acquired a smaller house & added it on. That is why there was the gap between the main house & the addition. This was often done, because often houses could be acquired for just the cost of moving it. This is what my dad did, because we were living in a small 2 bedroom house. Having 3 teenage boys sharing 1 small bedroom just didn't work. Someone 6 blocks away had purchased a house & 2 lots, to build a new house. They gave us the old house, which had only been vacant a year. He paid $2,600 to move it. We then had a 5 bedroom house. To build that addition would have cost approximately $20,000. The house I now live in is another 2 houses that were put together, in 1947.

When I "stumbled upon" your video.....and watching you drive, I thought....where the heck is this guy!? It looked like you were driving just down the road from me! lol. Then...you said it was 27 degrees....there was snow....you came across some "Forum" clipping (I read the Forum for years...in fact....my sister and I delivered it door to door when we were younger!)....corn field....tractor in the field...and THEN you said "Uff da"....and I was positive you were near by!! lol. I am a Norwegian/German Lutheran from NW Minnesota! I loveeeeee old houses!!! Thanks for the awesome tour of this one!! :-) I have subscribed to your channel!!

I'm from Vermont and almost thought you lived around here with how the landscape looked... I loved growing up walking around the woods looking for old stuff! We have the Shelburne museum that offers a peek into the old times on the farm and blacksmithing along with all the other trades and structures of life back then in the 1800s! It's fascinating! I stumbled upon your channel as a recommendation of KZfaq and I'm glad they did... Just the nostalgia alone had me binge watching your channel and immediately subscribing! Thank you for what you do it brought me back to my childhood!

Great job on the video. I like your style. So many explorers out there try to make everything creepy. But you were respectful and curious and i greatly enjoyed the focus on the details such as looking at the little comics and books and wallpaper. Gives a sense of their personality. I can imagine many memories made in that home. But a good reminder that when we go we don’t take it with us. Definitely will follow you!

I just happened to stumble across this video and clicked on it because the house looks like my grampa's house from the outside. It took 2 seconds for me to think you must be a Minnesotan and my thought was confirmed when you said 27 degrees was brisk! I grew up in Minnesota and loved hearing you talk. I have many memories of my grampa's old farmhouse, barns and woods. Sadly, it has also been torn down. Thank you for sharing and for showing the snowdusted cornstalks! New subscriber!

Those shots of the corn were spectacular. New subscriber here. What a fascinating look at an old house and the part at the end was extra good.

I fully appreciate that you don’t rush through the video. You move slowly and show details and take time to let viewers actually see what there is to see. It’s a shame that homes like these have to be left to rot. I like to try to imagine what they would have been like, full of life sounds, children playing, meals being prepared, the smell of dinner cooking, a fire going, a rooster crowing...imagine being born in and living in the same house for your entire life! ✌️

Wow! Thanks for the Memories! What a beautiful home, so much character! We really can imagine .... and we romanticize about the way things used to be when as children we visited grandparents or extended family, and were amazed at their humble abodes so charming and sentimental, I grew up in a house built in the early 60s, but all of my relatives up in Minnesota had COOL old houses like this one! Videos like these inspire us, and educate us, my mother's home in a rural community, was without running water until the 40s or so, they had a pump that drew from a cistern, or a well I guess?! Their basement had a dirt floor, my grandmother still had a wringer washer in the basement, in the early 70s. Really Love what you are able to find, the best old places hidden away!

First video I’ve watched and super stoked I found it! Great video. Much older farm houses than we have out here in CA. I really liked the big wave picture!! Isn’t it a shame what they’ve done to lumber! Look at those real 2x4s, beautiful. The exterior wall covering on the top of the house are called wood scallops. The shape is a scallop. Keep it up! Look forward to more! Thanks bru!
