I love this show, it’s like going back in time…. Yes please do more q and a.

I wish I had friends like you! I feel like I just found my people.

I am a huge history nerd. My passion is learning about clothing, cooking and the culture of the period. I really enjoy your videos! Keep making them!

Survival skills would be what we need in modern times. Respect for self and others is something we need nowadays. I love history!

in high school, history was all the battles. I once asked, "what did they ear for breakfast?" and the teacher got annoyed and said that wasn't important!!

Been a near life-long American history buff. Having grown up in a c. 1754 center chimney cape that was originally a tavern on the coast of Maine. Our little town was the center of 19th c. shipbuilding, as well. You all are a delight & we enjoy watching very much. Thank you...

Great video. Ron - I portray a 18th Century wood worker. I started woodworking using modern tools, then collected 1920s-40 tools, now have added 18th/19th century tools. The biggest difference is time and precision. Justine- love the cooking episodes! Our site is south of St. Augustine, and revolves around a road built in 1768. Btw, Jon Townsend in real life is pretty much how you see him in his videos.

My Metis ancestors lived in St Genevieve MO. It would be great if you did an episode touching on the culture of your "French Indian" neighbors. Many Metis families lived in that area. Would adore seeing that bit of history highlighted! You are a wonderful person to show us all this history!

Thank you for this video…. Well said, “Civility, chivalry …. Care in how you dress, Care in how you treat other people, Care with what you do with your hands … “. Precious thoughts … sadly we have lost much of that way of living. I value this way of thinking. I hope to pass it on to my granddaughter …. Thank you for making these wonderful videos. Great to get to know a little more about you. I love the spontaneity - no script! Jon Townsend is great! I bought a couple of trivets from him a few years ago. I use them a lot. I’d love to have a cooking hearth. So, are you all from St. Genevieve? You are just wonderful, warm and wholesome folks. Thank you for mentioning all the historic places that are great to visit.

I'm always happiest when I go "back in time" whether that be with a recipe, a movie, music, clothing, visiting a museum etc. History is not taught the way it should be in schools anymore. Your channel is so wonderful and educational. I have shared your link with many of my friends homeschooling their children.

Justine you may like to see Mrs. Crocombe at English Heritage. She does a lot of cooking demonstrations too. Townsand and and her did a parcel exchange, and given Ron’s admiration; it could be an idea for future content to reach out and do something with these two channels? It’s is so lovely to see you all behind the scenes and for us to get to know you on a more familiar basis. Keep up these magnificent videos, we all love them 💕

Loved this - thank you for sharing yourselves with us! We definitely need to keep the history of America alive! A worthy endeavor and I appreciate you all for getting this content posted here.

Really enjoyed this episode of Early American - Q & A! Hope to see more from all of you. Take care! 💝

Justine Ron, and Kandye, thank you so very much for this wonderful Q & A. 😘😘😘. It was such a treat. You guys are the best. 😎🤩

Was on cast at Kentucky ren fair for 10 years. Went to Cracker Barrel in garb every Sunday during season. The lot of us would fill up the far end room and oftentimes overflow into the other. They loved us and we loved them!

What an awesome video. Thank you for sharing with us. ❤️❤️❤️

I first watched Edwardian Farm and Victorian Kitchen Garden series...have the books and dvds. Then I found your channel and love the American history and lifestyle. Well done!

Hi Justine...I love your channel and I have been to both Wiesbaden and Heidelberg as a wife of a military officer. Beautiful country!!!! I have been watching your videos for quite awhile and love what you do! I agree that our country needs to get back to learning more of our history and supporting the efforts of teaching our history. I grew up in the 60s and watched Daniel Boone every time it was on!!! I grew up on a big farm in WV so I truly feel close to the land!!! 🤗

What a treat! Thank you to Justine, Ron and Kandye. It's amazing seeing how much we all enjoy the same things :D P.S. I love Kandye in the channel's drama series, I thought she was a real good actor, it's adorable that she is such a fan of George Washington.

Hi Justine, Candy and Ron! I discovered your Early American channel about six months ago and I enjoy it. Ron mentioned that he is a huge Townsends fan and I too enjoy that channel although eight months ago I discovered "The Woodland Escape" on KZfaq and I love it. Peter Kelly is the KZfaqr presenting his weekly videos each Sunday and his area of interest is the 1750s. Peter is located in eastern Ontario, Canada. Justine will like the fact that he owns a large chunk of land and he recently completed a 1750s frontier log cabin on his land where most of his currently 50 videos are placed at. I have been a lifelong native around Albany in Upstate New York and our local history began nearly 400 years ago with the Dutch as being the first Europeans to settle and trade with the Native Americans. As such my area of historical interest is between the arrival of the Dutch up through the 1790s. I do also enjoy the 1820s to 1840s depicted by Old Sturbridge Village along with the crafts of the Shakers.

This was delightful. I have longed to be in reenactment, but life did not allow to produce, but my period of time is from 1600-1800, Tales from the Green Valley, Jon Townsend are the two channels I came upon years ago, they have given me much insight, joy, ideas and encouragment, in the years since, I include as much as I am able to my everyday life of period ways, food, clothing, etc. I was told long ago, doing a little is better than doing nothing, just enjoy what you can do. I like what Ruth Goodman said of modern life several years ago in an interview, "I hate the perfume-deodorant-wahsing powder smells that sit on the back of your throat. You don't notice them when they're around you all the time, but if you go away from it and come back, modern life stinks." I have to concer. Thanks for sharing, it is always a joy. In Joy

Thank you for mentioning 'The Patriot', one of my favorite movies, I'm an American History buff, and love to watch documentaries about the Revolutionary war, I'm so pleased with your show, the kids in this generation need to watch these documentaries, it's all about our heritage, and have visited Colonial Williamsburg. Loved it!!!

I'm a very recent subscriber and I love your show and watch it daily. My favorite time in history is the Edwardian Era. Last year I published a novel on this era.

The first question was mine yay !!!

The question about scripts and scene prep was one question I had, too. You all seem to be very comfortable with each other and nothing sounds rehearsed. The very first “Early American” video I watched was Ron brings Justine vegetables for cooking the dinner. Both had this “sparkle” around each other. Both of you were so cute the way you looked at each other and your conversations. I kept thinking “Are they “acting” because it didn’t look like it. Throughout the video I thought I hope they’re together because they make such a cute couple. I was thrilled when I learned, yes, you are together and no, you’re not acting. I love your channel so much! Please make more question and answer videos. One question I have is, are you married and do you have children together? I would think being “in character” AND with kids involved, it would be really hard to control, not to mention a lot of “what if’s” happen. You do a wonderful job and I love that you love each other and you actually still like each other after a day of filming.

I'm actually a Paranormal Investigator and I live in southwest FL. & am planning a trip to Saint Augustine in which I will be filming several historical and haunted places there. I am very excited!

Ron; I also read or watch a movie, get curious about something and then research the heck out of it while rabbitholing endlessly about more things I come across.

Learning that their videos aren’t scripted make me so happy knowing there is beautiful chemistry between Ron & Justine. Thank you for all your videos 💗

I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation. Y'all are such a breath of fresh air! It's so refreshing to listen to like-minded people. Sending lots of love from Houston, TX!

does anyone else remember "Liberty Kids" on PBS??? I was a little old to be watching it when it came out but I was learning about the revolutionary war in history at school and I swear it helped me pass

Thanks so much for doing the Q & A. Really enjoy your videos! Such a great escape from today's complicated world. You guys are the best!

Kandye is also the Secret Keeper. I love how Justine explained it as her love of history was because how she "learned to define beautiful". I definitely am more into the culture of history. I'm at 12:35 and have decided Justine is my spiritual twin. I hate wearing pants and have pretty much worked them out of my wardrobe. At 24:00 my favorite food is salad then soup. I too love to make soup.

This was the best 55 mins I have watched in a long time. I am a fan of so many of the places you all like and have visited as well as the shows and yes, Cracker Barrel!! This was so much fun getting to know you all better and how funny Justine and Ron are into heavy metal, big fan here as well. I discovered Townsend months ago and enjoy his content as much as yours. We need more people telling and showing our American History. The modern world gets overwhelming and the way things are going as of now, we should all learn how our forefathers lived. I hope you'll do another video like this in the future. I can't tell you how much I really enjoyed it.

I live in Missouri. And yes I know the town you are speaking of. Did not know of this store. Very cool story and store. Thanks for sharing this video. I just recently found our that my home was a time capsual. I do have 3 peices from my family that comes from Virginia revolution. Couple more from the civil war too. Most of my stuff is 70s. Because I bought it then new mind you. Lol. Anywho. I agree I always get dressed up too go to church and out too eat. I was raised as a lady. I only wear pants in the dead of winter. When my old wool skirt and slips and long socks won't work. Snow is too high and if I fall I show my goods. I love hearing about who you are as people. Great actor and actress. Great video.

So funny that Ron’s favorite shows are mine too! I love reading the Outlander books every year especially the homestead parts.

So fun! Love watching your re-enactments, and your romance. St. Genevieve and Missouri, Arkansas are on my bucket list. May I suggest a getaway for Ron & Justine to the “ Greenfield Village & Henry Ford Museum” in Dearborn, Michigan. My favorite place to visit when I return to Michigan, my home state!❤️

I've been waiting for this type of video! 💜

So happy you did this Question and Answer video. Got a greater understanding of your channel. Happy you enjoyed Old Sturbridge. , would you ever consider returning to Massachusetts to travel the Mohawk Trail?? Please take a look at Old Deerfield village on the web. You might find it interesting. Thank you all so very much for doing this. Looking forward to all your future endeavors. 😀

Beautiful. Thank you for keeping this wonderful time period alive. 🥰 You are all amazing. ❤️

I’ve really enjoyed listening to this video. Good questions and good answers. It gives a new perspective on our daily lives.

All 3 of you forgot John Adams mini series as your video favorite. Very good Q & A. Good that everyone had a chance to answer the same question. Keep up with the great work and don't let the little problems ruin the goodness and freshness of your channel. I re-enact as an c.1800 Santa. You must see my pics.

Glad to see a new video. I’ve been interested in history myself for many decades. I’ve studied it, toured it, re-enacted it and loved it. We even live in and have restored an 1850’s house. Although my initial passion was the Civil War era (sparked by its Centennial), like you all I’m interested in all eras of American history. We’ve also done Cracker Barrel in period clothes. Happy to see such like minded people who are doing so much to get people interested in history. Keep it up!

I loved this!!!! I found it so interesting and entertaining I do hope you do another one soon. Best wishes to all of you!

I am so glad I found you all. I use to be in a fife and drum corp. many years ago. I still play from time to time. We use to make our own uniforms ... even the buttons. I grew up in MA. and am now in FL. I have been to all the places you spoke of even the fort in FL. New England is the place to go if you are looking for American History for sure, but I have found so many places in every state I have lived in. MO.,TN., ME., NH. (to name a few) I would enjoy seeing more of these Q&A's

I was always a colonial era history fan. absolutely loving the videos. like Ron, I have become obsessed with doing most of my woodcraft with very old tools. tremendous amount of satisfaction building something without plugging in. folks like you guys are providing a much needed service. thank you !!

This was a great deal of fun, and I just have to say Justine I LOVE your top!

Yes they have a Maggiano's here in Scottsdale. And it is on the $$$ side. Ron do you show up at the Nutmeg Tavern on Fridays? Jon Townsends was talking about glass this last Friday. Now I know why I like your channel so much there are so many things in common. I have noticed they killed off the Col. At your old place. And things are being repeated too. Haven't watched any but they pop up as recommendations by the algorithm. Hope that Justine and Ron find a place soon. Thanks for the Q&A. Have a good week.

You all inspire me. I was doing living history at age 17 at Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park. Civil War Reenactments. Since, I have not had the opportunity. Now I'm a senior citizen and have been thinking about "rigging out" in Colonial attire. I love Colonial and US Revolutionary War Periods. I too grew up living with antiques. I collect Colonial pieces. I swear there are times when I walk into a room filled with period furniture and it's almost like a flash back, a memory. There is even a smell of old wood...Sounds crazy, I know. Now, I live on an Indian Reservation in NC. Many of my Indiginous friends do reenactments and educational programs. They travel widely to appear at events and sites like Williamsburg. Thank you for all you do. ❤

I recently discovered your channel. I am a big history fan and have really been enjoying watching each episode. Thank you Justine and Ron!

I love the way people used to dress back then . I say we start dressing like that again maybe we can get a big enough following and change fashion back to the old dresses!

I have a new found love for Candy. That her hero is George Washington is just really awesome. Loved this video. Please do more. God bless 🙏🏼❤️

I am, definitely, loving y'alls videos! Thank you, -so- much, for all the content. I'm, originally, from Southern Illinois so it's great seeing history from home! Btw..I lived in Heidelberg for 7 years. It's still holds my favorite memories! Such as..The Heilig Gheist Kirche would have concerts all the time and if you went up to the castle garden area..you could hear the music playing, faintly.

We have recently found your KZfaq channels and thoroughly enjoy watching and learning from them. This particular video was excellent. It’s always a treat to learn more about the people in the videos that we see. I loved the varied questions. We feel that you have become like friends to us. Keep up the fantastic work. Thank you for what you do and allow us to learn.

I found this channel 2 weeks ago by chance and fell in love. Well today I'm watching the show Restoration Road season 1 episode 3, "Missouri log cabin". I just put two and two together and realized they moved and rebuilt the cabin next to this shop. Totally awesome!!! You guys are pure gold

The best Apple strudel I've ever had...was from the kitchen at the Palace of Versailles ❤ they made a traditional recipe, and we tasted it. Wow.

I am so happy to have discovered your show! As a tremendous history buff I garner so much information from your programs. In your discussion you all hit the nail on the head regarding the need to return to civility in discourse, the need for skilled trades, care and self respect in dress and most importantly the need to educate our youth about the American Revolutionary Founding of our country and the founders themselves who were men of integrity who put their fortunes and very lives on the line to establish our country. A dear and close educator friend of mine will be putting on a Patriot Camp here in Wyoming this summer. It was scheduled for the summer before last but unfortunately Covid changed those plans. The goal of this week long camp is to educate the youth in our community about the founding of our nation, the Founders and the foundational documents, and life in the colonial times. Several of us are helping in this endeavor. Some of the potential activities included cooking period dishes so I enjoy your cooking segments very much. Thank you for bringing to life and preserving our past when so many today are trying to destroy our past.

I totally enjoyed this video! As I enjoy ALL your videos! I always look forward to the next one! Thank you!

Love your channel!

I had a lot of fun watching this. You had some of the best questions. I loved your answers as well. Justine you and Ron are so much fun! I love reenacting I started with Society for Creative Anachronism or SCA which is Medieval history but I love all history recreation. My mom was an antique dealer as well so I also grew up with a house full of antiques.

Love this! Ron, I love Turn Washingtons spys! I live here on Long Island! Love our history! So much to see ! Keep up the great work you do!

2-21-22 What a fun video! Enjoyed hearing about the cast members' background. So nice to find a channel that shares my love of country and history. I agree with everything that was said.

VA is a great state for history!

Hi from Finland, I like to watch your post , I am learning so much, and the recipes are very good.

Wow, Justine, we must be sisters because everything you said hit the nail on the head for me! I've loved history ALL my life, even when I was a small child (my Mother was born in France so I also love everything French country - was in France twice in 10 years visiting all the sites), but Early American is where it's at for me too. I can connect to everything you are saying. Great Q & A, loved the questions and answers, have loved all your content so far, and I'm especially looking forward to new videos. Great job Justine, Ron and Kandye!!!

This should have more views... This was a good time with great people! God bless you all from NE Montana.

Just love Kandye so sweet.

Woah…I need to check out Cracker Barrel asap. Like I know ppl would go there but I’ve never managed to go there. I love getting to know you, guys! ❤️❤️❤️

I completely agree with you about dressing! The pandemic has caused people to look like slobs - even school uniforms at some schools around here are now gym shirts and sweat pants rather than a polo shirt or button down and skirt or pants. They claim that it’s the “pandemic uniform,” but I think the slob uniform is going to stay when things are normal again! And address: what’s with kids addressing adults by their first names? I was once introduced to a friend’s child as “Cynthia” rather than Mrs. Mintz, Ms. Cheng Mintz or even Ms. Cynthia or Auntie Cynthia (this isn’t uncommon in my family’s culture and it isn’t just your best friend’s kids. Mr./Mrs. is typically just for teachers or strangers).

I really enjoyed listening to your q and a! It would be great if you could do another one in the future. =) While I personally dont do reenactments (open to the idea), I love hearing that others do. It seems hard to find other people who are just as interested. Your channel and Townsends are my favs. Thank you for all you do!

Thank you for the video, You guys are so lovely and fund to watch. A total gem. I want to visit Missouri just to stay in that air bnb. Looking forward to next video...xxoo from Philly!

Keep up the good work and supporting our National History. I’m with you guys, Ste Genevieve needs a good German restaurant.

It was so fun to hear you guys “in real life.” I love your videos, they’re so well done! I also love period clothes and I follow all of these KZfaqrs who wear period clothes.

Outlander is the best! Bridgerton, The Tudors and Versailles are great shows also. An older movie, but excellent, is The Last of the Mohicans. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it

I love the tv series Tales From Green Valley. It's based on an earlier time period than you portray, but Ruth Goodman and 3 others perform the farm tasks as they were done then. Ruth does the Tudor and other time periods, as well, in other dedicated tv series.

I was going to suggest Old Sturbridge Village to you guys! I grew up the next town over.. 💕

Tales From The Green Valley is a wonderful British docuseries that takes 5 historical archeologists to an abandoned 17th century farm that is being restored. They live as a family and run the farm for a full year wearing period clothes, using period tools, etc. Each episode is about a half hour and covers a month. It is wonderful and well worth watching.

I just want to say I enjoy your channel. I have always enjoyed Early American history. I grew up in Monmouth County, Freehold, New Jersey. I lived where the Battle of Monmouth was fought. We have a church in Freehold (The Old Tennent Church) that was built in 1692. It served as a hospital during the Battle of Monmouth. Loads of history in Monmouth County, New Jersey. Just keep your videos coming.

There are shows on PBS that show how to utilize old woodworking tools. Might want to see if they are on DVD for sell on the PBS website.

I love history. I planted my first garden this year and I wish my grandparents were here to ask them questions. We have lost so many knowledge and so many skills.

We just found your channel a couple weeks ago. We’re loving it and we enjoyed this video very much. Please do another one where you answer questions. We look forward to more videos from you all!!!

That’s awesome you spent 2 years in Seoul! My dad is from there 😊 I also love Korean food and sushi/sashimi. Seafood sure is delicious! What a fun video learning about you all and getting to know you more.

Used to live in St. Augustine, Fl. Actually lived there 3 different times. Absolutely beautiful place. So pleased that you mentioned it.

I'm with you Justine the clothes are everything ❤️and manners boy to get that back would be lovely. Yes Ron the skills were amazing and we could never get craftsmanship as well as work ethic like that again this world has totally changed and not for the better‼️☹️

I wanted to see more.i cant get enough of you guys.i also love vintage if i didnt i wouldn't be wathing you. Love all you guys.

I love learning about history. Went to Old Town Houses from the 19th century Victorian era in Montgomery, AL in 2003 and 2006, also went to a confederate cemetery in Prattville, Alabama. I also like Laura Ingalls Wilder books the story about her life.

Hi, what a fun video, I really enjoyed it. Townsends is so fun to watch also, my favorite is the one where they made the chimney for the log cabin (according to George Washington's specs). Also, talking about the German restaurants, we were in Kauserslauten (sp) and ate at a restaurant every night because they made spaghetti, the only thing my picky eater son would eat. It had a big rooster on the sign and the food was so good. We ate in Belgium once where the doors were open and a cat was strolling about inside, greeting all the guests, so cool. You guys take care and am looking forward to the next video.

I'm a recent subscriber and resides in St. Louis. Been enjoying your channel, I am not always for commenting I am more of the person who likes to sit back and Like and listen to a video. But I have seen most of the recent videos, and wanted to see if you had a Q&A and well here it is! As I was listening I heard Candy mentioned about Schneithorst a German Restaurant and Bar. Sadly it is now closed for good. I enjoyed going there while it was opened (its across the street from where I work, and down the street from where I live), the restaurant was some German Fare styled food, with a Bavarian styled building. Thought I would pass that info on! Anyways, thank you for all the videos you have put out, cool to find others on YT with a passion for history, cooking and more! Best wishes, keep up the great work with the videos, it was great getting to know you all a bit better! Hope to see another Q&A in the future!

Very good to preserve History. I've been to Heidelberg and lived the cobblestone streets and old-world feel to it as well as Quebec-city. I love Victorian-era and antiques as well as you! Modern things just aren't the same. Thank you for presenting History. I koves going to Fort Christmas in FL and seeing the old way of life. Also been to Sturbridge Village in MA to see how they churn butter.

Drums along the Mohawk is my an my hubbys favorite old colonies movie ! Edna Mae Oliver was Awesome in that movie ! I just started watching your KZfaq channel last night .😊 I love the way of life back then .😊 looking forward for more.👍🏽

I knew Ron was going to say Turn! Great show. Gentleman Jack is great if you haven't seen it.

Love this I just found your KZfaq channel last night. With going threw the beginning history with my kids since I just started to homeschool and love to see these things I wish I found a place like this close by for us to visit. Hopefully one day we can visit place like this .

Just found your channel and was skimming through your video thumbnails and recognized this room. My wife and I stayed in STG for our anniversary and shopped here. We’ve been here a few times now since. Really like the town and all the shops and homes over there. Still thinking about getting dressed for the 1800’s. :)

I absolutely loved this episode. We have so much in common. If Kandye ever gets her wish to purchase the town of Genevieve, we'd love to live in a colonial village and play the part on a daily basis! Thanks for all that you do. Keep our history alive.

Thankyou so much for taking the time to do this.it was fascinating. I am also a fan of history and vintage clothing.im really enjoying your channel so much,only found you a week ago and I've caught up with your journey up till now.

I grew up in New Jersey. Many of our day trips were to Revolutionary War sites. The first apartment I lived in as an adult was literally next door to the inn Washington used to stay in whenever he visited New Jersey. I am in California now, and miss all of that. Lovely show. Thanks for this video series.

Don't know how I missed this one,but I enjoyed it. I will definitely keep your area in mind ,if travel is in my future. Much success to you all!

I love this show, every thing about this show rings true. In heart and thinking about others always came first. I agree with Justine, Ron and Candy in all they have said in this show. Please keep making this show. Very inspiring.

I just enjoy your shows Justine & Ron they are wonderful. Well done. Keep doing them. God bless you all. Nth Queensland Australia 🇦🇺

Thank you! I discovered reenactment last year. Love it! I would love to find a group in the Central California area.
