That Jones house property would be a great place to do any archaeological dig.

That one tombstone you found is the oldest documented grave in Berks county. At least that's the info I have.

Since you like doing videos, in Schuylkill county literally off of the Schuylkill River between Minersville and Cressona there are old OLD stone buildings. I was told they used to make gunpowder there, I have no idea. I always wanted to stop when I see it as I am kayaking but never have yet.

Love the history!! I live in Upper Michigan. The French had the biggest history here,since late 1500's ( early 1600's). That is until the French & Indian War when Britain finally took over. Most everything was Native long houses,& wooden structures( nothing g left,naturally). The British did finally build their stone fort on Mackinac Island(1783) after the massacre & abandonment of wooden fort on the mainland.

It’s sad how jealous I am of you guys up north with your extra hundred and fifty years older graves and stone houses! I’m on a never ending search here in southeast Mississippi but I’m super excited if I see 1840 on a headstone.

Alot of work went into those stone buildings, back in the 1700's trees were plentiful. I think maybe stone houses were what they had in the old country, and knew how to build them. liked the video.

Hi .. Im from Germany.. And that older photo from that house.. Looks ALMOST like here older houses we have mases o them..espeacilly in the villages. It looks for me like the old photo showed a old german housebuilder had his hands (sometimes) on it. The style speaks it for me. I can how some photos if wandering woodsman allows it. At the cemetary the name Klink sounds german..

With earlier graves in 1700s a lot of stones will be facing east toward the rising sun. Belief being that on resurrection day the person will be aided by facing the sun rise.

You need to carry a flashlight with you so you can read the stones. If you hold it sideways to the lettering you can read the words. This is what they do on Sideways Adventures.
