Always enjoy the Scenic Journeys with you and Lauren. That round church reminds me of the round barns here in Indiana. There are some in Ohio as well. As your drone approached the church I couldn't help but notice all of the sled tracks. Looks like the kids have been putting that hill to good use. I miss those days with our youngsters.

When my dad was first starting out in town here in Nova Scotia, he rented a room in a house that had a turret type round room upstairs and the old fellow who owned it told my dad he could stay in that room so the "devil" wouldn't catch him in the corners.😂

Love the videos Ken. Any chance you can do "floating bridge" in Brookfield when it thaws out? When I was a kid in Randolph, we would take our family and friends from out of town over there. It's pretty cool!

I’ve heard of that. I’ll try to check it out. Thanks

@rareimpalass1966 Жыл бұрын

When my uncle and his best friend came out from Illinois in a pinto, My 5 year old and I went to floating bridge with them. We were parked on the bridge and all the sudden we could smell what we thought was a skunk in the car . Come to find out my brother had an accident and didn't tell anybody. My uncle was so mad that he picked him up, put him over the railing and said " 5-year-olds don't do things like this! You need to stop! " He never did it again! 🙃

I worked at a hurricane proof railroad dispatch center in Florida, the land of hurricanes. The round concrete building was built to withstand hurricanes. Hurricane winds could come from any direction as there were no corners to offer resistance to the wind. I read too that this same effect gave the ability of the building maintain even temperatures in other words less affected by cold westerly or northerly winds.

Ken, maybe you could show them how to reconstruct a different stairwell that's not in front of the window 🤔 but then we wouldn't want to change something that's over 200 years old 😉.

Buying the rights to exclusive family pews was also very common in some English village churches back in the 17 and 18 hundreds and was a way of the wealthy country Squires showing their superiority over the poor farm workers. (We actually have one in my home village of Fordwich in Kent).

It sure looks like the bell is still in the clock house and is most likely manually operated. This certainly is a curious building, but more curious is who came up with this design. I know they are popular in Scandinavian countries, I have seen some in Sweden for instance. But those were much older buildings. There is also no reference to this in the history. It is quite curious.

Ken, on several of your journeys the places are actually closed when you go there. (Like that famous old hotel) It’s frustration not to see inside some of these places, like this church for instance, with its “family” pews. I hope you can return to some of the more interesting ones in due course. Nice to see Lauren too…
