We live here since 2000, and we loved it. It is quaint and quiet little town. Population is less than 7,000. Our kids moved out to other towns, so it's lesser now. LOL. Puget sound view is amazing . WE see the natives (respectively American Indians) fishing with nets all year long. The Immaculate Conception church was closed lately, but we have attended mass there, and it's always full. The congregation move to the St. John Bosco Catholic church in Lakewood w/c is (I'm guessing ) 1-1/2 miles away. Thank you so much for coming to out small and old little town.

visited here in 1990 - stilleast germany great memorys_ thanks

WPPSS was domonated by Elected PUD and REA oficials who were completely oblivious to the price elasticity of the Aluminun industry. Eventually it became obvious the plant was not needed and not affordable.

I think that series of concrete structures about 10:00 is a fish ladder.

Thank you for creating this. My Great Grandfather is buried there. He was a coal miner and caretaker of the Trinity church.

Interesting information

A journalist relative (the same person who turned me on to lodge emblems on monuments) took a deep dive into historic headstones and associated the cross-hatching on plinths like the one at 4:30 with a particular stone carver. If you look at any of the pioneer cemeteries in the area you'll spot his work.

Anywhere a non native have old cities were native settlements first. taken is the key word from the past

An appalling episode of American History, they should've been rightly called Concentration Camps. Thanks for covering it and it's great that you included both sites.

Some very affordable cute houses down there. I’d love to see a video on Seaview, Wa down by Long Beach on the coast.

I believe about 14 years ago i was helping work on that restoration project. 2 weeks ago I had the pleasure of attending Save the Orcas, we planted native shrubs and trees near the creek. Love this beautiful town

Mafia then MAFIA now !

My old 'hood. I lived for several years about half a mile down Stearns Road from the Claquato Cemetery.

My family had my father's wake at the Sharon Grange in 2006

I heard that the Puyallup fairgrounds during WW2 was used as a Japanese camp They might have put them there before going to Idaho

I was not aware that this memorial existed. Thanks for another great video about the history of Washington state. Thanks for also making the trip to Idaho.

Canada did the same thing during ww2

Let us know what you think about the video and if you have ever visited these sites. Thanks for watching!

I took my family up there about 2 years ago. Hubby had no idea this crap happened in our own backyard. Hit way to close to home for him. My kids didn't realize how awful this stuff was until they saw it their own eyes. Entire lives upended and destroyed.... normal every day people who just wanted to be left alone to live their lives- no different than you and I-all because we let fear take over.

I remember the school. When I visited Buckley, I went to school with my friend. We took the bus up to Wilkeson from Buckley. It was a magical time in my life.

I like your approach to history.😊

I had to break my comment down into 5 separate sections 1 & 2 are together in our original thread, while 3,4,5 are in a separate comment where I had asked to share this video to my page.

Do you mind if I share this to my own page, I am still having difficulty uploading paragraphs 3,4,5. Perhaps YT thinks I am a can of processed lunch meat surrounded by jelly. Lol

I just left a comment but it was removed, all I did was fill you in on some things that you missed. Not saying that you yourselves removed my comment, more likely RUclips themselves. There was just no reason for it. SMH

Had our wedding reception in the old Town Hall, 46 years ago

A number of the names in the cemeteries you show in south Thurston still have family members in Thurston and Lewis Counties. Lots of road names, too.

You can use both sylte and cured meats for the potetlefse, if you want meat! You can also eat with butter and brown cheese. I'ts definetly one of my comfort foods.

Rocks!!!! The quarry story was fascinating and sad. Geology question....what is the name of the sandstone formation (is it Wilkerson?) and the age? Be curious how the sandstone was depostied! I love that it is another place where geology and history intersect! I am going to pull out the ole geologic map of that area! Thanks for another amazing episode on the history (and geology :) ) of the area.

Oldtimers tell me that the cupola on a caboose was used to look for overheating bearing boxes like the ones on this one's wheels. If you looked up toward the locomotive and saw smoke coming out from under a car, you knew you had a problem. I don't know how they communicated that to the engineer.

Thanks for sharing this important - relatively recent- history with the broader community. I remember when you worked on this site, documenting the remaining artifacts. Years ago, I found remnants of a logging camp on my property nearby. There were no early records showing this site and the related logging activity, just altered terrain that must have resulted from logging roads…

You might look into the history of lodges and fraternal societies paying for member's tombstones. Those of members of the Woodmen of the World will often feature a log, perhaps with an ax. You're no doubt already familiar with Masonic imagery on grave markers. The Odd Fellows three link chain is common, and the Improved Order of Red Men (who only admitted whites until the 1970s - go figure) turn up with tomahawks and arrowheads. There are several others. I thought Bucoda's namesakes were BUford, COllins, and DAvis.

Where are you ? Wich camp are you looking for ?

Another great video guys! I didn’t know Sharon existed until I saw your video. When I saw Sidney Ford’s gravestone as you were checking out the cemetery I knew had to do some digging into the history of that town. I found the following information. Sidney S. Ford Jr. was one of the early settlers of Chehalis County. He was the son of Judge Sidney Ford of Ford’s Prairie in Centralia who was known to the locals as “Uncle Sid” in the 1860’s when he was the proprietor of the Skookum House for weary travelers on the Cowlitz Trail. There is a historical marker at 3700 Gavin Road in Centralia. Sharon was nothing more than a Post Office, cemetery and a school. The post office and school had been established by 1871 and the cemetery in 1875. So the old school building which is now the grange could be the original structure. The post office was in the home of whoever was the postmaster. Sidney Ford was most likely the first postmaster but I did find he was postmaster in 1878. In February of 1891 W.P. Eshol became the postmaster. In April of 1895 the Sharon post office was discontinued as the postmaster did not want to be bothered by it. Mail was distributed at Porter. In July of 1899 a new post office at Sharon was established and Irwin B. Weybright became the postmaster. In April of 1915 the Sharon post office was discontinued forever which could be considered as the end of Sharon. On Sept 5 1874 The Sharon Grange was founded with 30 charter members. Not sure where they met back then. This grange may have dissolved because I found that the Porter Grange #800 was founded on Aug. 3, 1923, with 22 charter members. The Porter Grange members originally met on the Porter side of the Chehalis River, but soon found the Sharon School across the river had become available to move into and afterwards they changed their name to the Sharon Grange, In 1894 the Satsop creamery established a milk skimming station at Sharon to make butter for the Tacoma markets. In 1895 3,500 gallons of milk was sent there from the dairy farmers in the area.

In sacred grounds where shadows loom, Dogs must not tread near graves and gloom. Should I catch you near my grandma’s tomb, You might not leave this place of doom. Understand the silence, twilight’s veil, Disturb the dead, and you'll surely fail. A warning whispered in the night’s embrace, Leave no trace, or vanish without a trace. Please don't bring your dog into ANY cemetary.

kapowsin, clay city, and camp 1 history is very interesting. a book that is hard to find titled a shadow in the mountain, and only had one print was put together very well.

my older brother is buried in the other cemetery across from the one you visited. I went to Wilkeson elm in kindergarten and 1st grade back in the 80's. I enjoyed your video, thank you for sharing it with us.

There’s an article about the sandstone - only in the Wilkeson vein - being more waterproof than any other place. That’s why it was chosen for the capitol building. I do not have the source.

Thank you for sharing

it's a mile and a half down to the spring where you get your water. 2 5 gallon bags 30 minutes down and an hour back. (Before the road.) there was a lookout there in 1912 with just a map board and a rag (tarp) covering it. The current lookout is the second building on the site. the old telephone line ran down to Ranger Creek 7 miles away. most of the insulators are still hanging if you want to look for them.

At the coke ovens you were 1000' at most from old mine operations ruins

that is so cool I passed on the highway and saw those towers during my vacation. Good to see what it was. Wish I knew before, would of love to stop by and check it out. Next time I guess.

Nice Video! You should check out the marker of Camp Montgomery which was on the Walla Walla Military Road east of Spanaway. John Montgomery was a retired Hudson's Bay Co. employee who let the troops use his place for a supply depot and Judge Lander was jailed there by Gov. Stevens. Another place is Fort Tilton at the base of Snoqualmie Falls which was at the end of the Military Road from Seattle. Keep up the great work uncovering the history of the area.

You suck.

So you will ruin it.

There's more cemetery on the other side of the road.

Y'r assholes and do not know what your talking about!

What's wrong with Sweeds?

The dome is the unfinished roof of one reactor. Used as storage now or garage.

I was a Security guard there I know every inch of that place inside and out. Above and below the ground.
