I have not been to Arrow Rock in a long time.

Next time I go back that way will make a point of spending a day there. Bet there is a Bed & Breakfast in Brazil.

What a cute town! Never heard of it before and my dad was from Missouri 😂👍🏻

Look up the podcast "Our Fake History" that covers more of the known details behind Lee Shelton and William Lyons, as well as how the legend grew from the shooting and subsequent trial. BTW, my understanding about the graves is not they were originally unmarked, just that the markers were not maintained, and were eventually lost.

Try looking Swiss Park which was behind the Trails Restaurant.

Supposedly one of my ancestors was living in that general area when French priests arrived. My ancestor was so happy to see them that he named the river "Riviere Des Peres." A self-published 'book' by Wm. F. Alden described that area's early settlement. The book is called "It Happened in Lemay" but it mentions Carondelet and how early settlers near Des Peres moved northward to Carondelet to escape flooding.

This is an awesome view

These small towns have such rich history and often overlooked. Great coverage. These are the towns that give character to these roads

Thank you for this series on the National Road. I've always been a bit fascinated by the original old road, then it became 40, and once I-70 was completed, you could get From Terre Haute to Indianapolis in around 1 1/4 hours, depending on traffic and how fast you drove. It's not uncommon to make that trip in an hour, but that's keeping it between 70mph and 90mph (or so I hear *cough*). My dad's maternal side of his family came out the National Road in a covered wagon from Albemarle, Virginia around 1870, then on South from TH for about 30 miles over rough terrain, since there were no county roads back then. And how they managed to get by without A/C, indoor plumbing, I don't know -- a whole different world back in 1880 My great-great grandfather had bought 80 acres (at $10/acre) and he and his 7 sons came out the road and wanted to get there in very early spring so they could get their crop in and build a cabin. The following spring my great-great-grandmother and their 1 daughter had a ride down the Ohio River in a flatboat and came up the Wabash River, and settled in the 80 acres that is about half-way between Carlisle, IN and the village of New Lebanon. One of the 7 brothers wrote a diary of the trip from VA to IN, and if I'd love to read it. The only information about the trip is what I have just written. If I knew who has that diary, I'd love to read it. Again, thanks for this whole series of the old National Road through Indiana. Terre Haute was also the home of the Hulman Family who gained their wealth through Clabber Girl Backing Soda. And Tony Hulman married a girl from Evansville that was the heiress to the Fendrich Cigar company. Tony Hulman would later rise to national prominence as purchasing the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 1945 and saving it from the neglect and ruin following WW2.

Don’t forget the Grateful Dead’s version

Neat town 😊

Rip Brian 🙏

I love her. She was a great singer and artist.

Thank you for this extra information on one of our most important R&B vocalist/musicians.

As a Pittsburgher learning and pronouncing our one river was never easy. Break 'Monongahela' down into sounds: [MUH] + [NON] + [GUH] + [HEE] + [LUH]

It got demolished and it was full of black mold! 😃

I grew up in Jacksonville. My mom worked there for several years. I remember my mom telling me it's haunted and there are still chains on the walls in the basement where they kept some patients.

I can't imagine how many people have passed that tree and knew nothing of its history. Nice job Jason

I want to see inside the capsul

I remember his music and his appearance in a bank commercial. I still listen to Wooden Heart. I love his version. Thanks for sharing this.

L Frank Baum Lived Part of his life in the next two called chittenango New York also he had a home in Mattydale New York where sportsarama used to be . Also Robert de Niro the actor is that I used to Syracuse he once lived on Durstan Ave in Syracuse which is off of Grant Ave

I have a brick from Brazil IN. My great grandmother lived there. I visited in the early 60's.

Great Organization! Happy July 4th 2024. Hope to see you all.

Urban Shocker, Cooperstown 2025

Very nice, extensive, low-key tour. 👍 Happy Independence Day, bud.

Is he in a casket? How did someone reach him?

Enjoyed this. Thank you for having the heart to record history in this way. It is a celebration of an era, a place and the people who were responsible.

Beautiful rotunda & floors. Love the spin a wheel to find out county info. Lovely capital building 👍🏻

I’ve always loved Burl Ives I’ve been to newton & saw the statue and his grave

I love this place! Thanks for the video

A great movie about his start in the world is "Walt before the Mickey"

Fun 😎

Jason, GREAT coverage. I rode that on "Re-opening Week" back in 1996 with my grandfather who rode the original back when he was a kid. I still have my tickets and program from 1996. I took my girls on it too

You shoull come back to Evergreen when they have their Cemetery Walks in Sep/Oct. They have local actors in full costume portraying usually 7-8 of the people buried there. They give some history of those people as if they themselves are letting you into their lives. Some are well know, others are not but they all have interesting lives. Since they started doing over 30 years ago vandalism has drop to almost non existence.

I grew up with George as one of the TV voices for the Tigers in the 80's and 90's, when I was really into baseball. Had a voice that was easy to listen to, in a way like that of Ernie Harwell.

As a kid we found out that a river in the bottom hooks with Mammoth Springs. Sone pput a bale of hay in to it . About a week later it popped up.

Many happy childhood memories watching Mr. Rogers & Captain Kangaroo. Thanks for sharing!

His era of quality TV is gone forever. My favorite book as a kid was a "Pop-Up" book of "Mr Roger's Neighborhood". I also must admit I liked the SNL parody with Eddie Murphy "Mr Robinsons Neighborhood"

Such a fun little restaurant. And so historic! The original building is actually a train caboose without wheels. I just finished editing my video when I visited there last year. They are having a 100th anniversary celebration the last Saturday in July!

Thanks Jason.

I'm surprised they didn't put the statue over in Mount Pilot with the rest of the Apple Dumpling Gang 😛 I think it was Bob Ross who was the super tough drill sergeant, people might be confusing the stories 🤓

I remember Cliff Cave. Was there during high school days.

Actually, they moved home plate as part of the closing ceremony after the last game May 8, 1966.

Telegram poles?

Could this guy be anyone boring?

Found my way over here
