History of Morgantown WV People
Добавлен 30 мар 2017
My mission is to preserve and promote local and regional history and to make it accessible to the citizens of Morgantown and visitors to the region. Some of these videos are shared videos that I like. They do not necessarily represent my views on life only that they are about people and events that are in Morgantown's history.

DON KNOTTS REST IN PEACE
ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW MATLOCK
oh my...the girl he married last...looks just like one of the 'fun girls' in the Andy Griffith episode...loland the OTHER bio on him said he weighed 140 lbs...he weighed 120 in his school years.
You don't see clean family friendly comedy nowadays. Don was definitely a once in a lifetime comedian. Rip😢
Trying desperately to move here spmeone help me.
One of the last states, and cities not ruined by white erasure. It's still 90+ percent white.
I love Don Knots ♥️♥️🤘
My grandma worked there.
These two Gentlemen are legends in Morgantown, WV and are loved by so many of us in Morgantown. Both attended the recent baseball event that was held at MHS in April 2023 that honored the 1970 MHS baseball team. Both coached the 1970 MHS team that helped restart baseball at MHS after an approximate 10 year lull in the sport at MHS. They were so helpful with our HOMETOWN TEAMS SMITHSONIAN EXHIBITIN 2014 at the History Museum..
The woman who says the u fuels the town is very beautiful.
I'm curious if this could be used to aid in VTOL....
What's the song that plays at the end?

I would love to go see a WVU Basketball💙💛💙💛💙💛 🏀 & Football 🏈 game at WVU Coliseum and Milan Puskur Stadium 🏟in Morgantown, WV
dude you're trying to sell people on a morgantown that doesn't exist except maybe for the out-of-state university students with rich daddies. let me guess, you're not actually a townie, a native, but someone from most likely the east coast who came here to go to school, right? stop encouraging fools to move here, jobs are scarce and affordable housing doesn't exist.
don't forget to tell them about the high rents & the large homeless population we have here!
Comedic genius
I visited this last August (2022) and I’m planning to produce the Off-Off-Broadway production of “Sense & Sensibility” at the Canady Center next August 2023 - loved the whole Greenwich Village feel of downtime and the UofWV campus… esp the PRT! ruclips.net/video/4z9Xe2-DMNw/видео.html
Born there in 1944. Number 11 of 11 children , Dad coal miner from Pursglove.
Have you ever visited Scotts Run Museum?
@@historyofmorgantownwvpeopl74 Never knew of one. We go there yearly to visit 7 family members and many friends at East Oak Grove Cemetery. Thank you. I will try to get there.
amazing video! i was at WVU in the mid/late 90s and get excited whenever I can talk about my time there. been searching high and low, even tried to Shazam the song at the end, but no luck. any assistance on that one? Starts at 24:26
My two well loved actors are from Morgantown David Selby aka Richard Channing from Falcon Crest and Don Knotts aka Mr Furley from Threes Company
Morgantown is basically PA so of course it's not hillbilly.
I think the 1st time seeing Don was Mr. Limpet, then the Ghost and Mr. Chicken. Then watching him in Mayberry as the sheriff's deputy. When I was an adult I saw him on Three's Company. I believe a little bit of the actor's own personality is part of the performance. Don's smile and enjoyment shines through. He was a real talent.
Where is this "Tram Road" he speaks so often about?
old hemlock foundation
As I recall, it's in the Blackwater Canaan. If my dusty memory is right.
is this place good for rape?
Ron Howard looks as old as Andy and Don
What a great actor and person.
My husband & I are looking to move out of Florida, we're interested in Morgantown thanks to the Fallout 76 video game! That clocktower, unmistakable, to us that's Vault Tec University! I'm watching this to further research the area, thanks for a wonderful virtual tour 😀
@Subuwu Life long story short, hubby told his work he was leaving & they offered him a promotion with a pretty high pay rise. Sadly, where he works doesn't have a place in WV. Weighing up the odds we've had to put our plans on hold but give it a couple years, we'll look into it again.
@Subuwu Life could you consider renting out your house via a realtor? Moving like this is a very scary thing indeed. I've moved a lot but the 2 biggest moves I ever did was moving from the UK to the arctic circle then 4 years later back to UK, 6 months later I upsticks & moved to the USA. It is scary but also very exciting. If you are really worried though, rent out your house. At least it means you have something to come back to if you need to. Rentals are snapped up incredibly fast in FL so you won't have difficulty there 👍
Y'all have made me almost instantly love this city wow even the music is enthralling
What episode is his mother in??
Wow - Almost Heaven!
I'm 63years old and really trying to relocate here by December 1, 2022 from Portland Oregon. This just makes me long to be there even more. I'm really praying that everything comes together for me! Thank you for sharing.
You can do it!
AS a history man I must relate to you that your name is famous in the Morgantown area. There were two coeds murdered in 1970 and it is currently being investigated again as a cold case. One of the girls names was Karen Ferrell.
Did you make there by 12/1/22? I’m thinking about retiring there.
Motown??? I'm halfway through this and the only Black people shown were on a basketball court.
Doesn't mean we don't love people of color. Check out some of our interviews.

Tremendous beautiful people of WEST VIRGINIA!
Wonderful interview, he speaks the truth. All people, many nationalities but all of us together. 🇺🇸
My recollection of morganhole is abject poverty,Debilitating drug abuse,Industry gone for decades,Maybe a support system for a party college
Respect..
Personally I would love to have a Robin Willams and Don Knotts Movie together.
wow, what made u think of that, soon as i pictured it it made sense, felt like they would get along,
What a wonderful interview! Enjoyed listening to a life well lived. Kudos to Al!
Matt Lauer, the door-locker.
We love you Al <3 You’re awesome!!
Wow. I was on the fence about putting this on my list of places to potentially relocate to. This video helped me confirm it's definitely worthy of consideration! Thanks for the info :)
@kevin so what's the result? Did you relocate?
@@TwiceYearly3030 I begin studying there in August 😊
I’m looking to visit this year… I like the idea of living away from the East Coast but I’m used to the more Bohemian atmosphere of Greenwich Village… so Morgantown seems like the best option… we’ll see….
Stay in the village nobody wants you city folk here.
It freaky i’ve seen every single one of those places
Stellar Video thankyou ! Ok we r moving here!😁😁😀😁
