Yes mine as well I can only imagine what it would look like in its day that was a beautiful location as well with the little stream running below it well pump house that building that was right next to the two barns I'm not quite sure what that building was used for because it wasn't a house the house was down in the field with a collapsed roof it was too far to walk at that time and I would have been very exposed by the neighboring property I might go revisit it at some point
Wow, good stuff!. My good friend is a big barn and farm enthusiast and expert, and also lives in Pa.. He would love to know the specific history on the buildings and the abandonded farm complex!
I believe I pinned a comment that is a relative of this Farm and it has been sitting idle for many many years. Farm Technology has changed so much and this is preserved almost like a time capsule of an older farm and farming
I really enjoyed this video. It makes me sad to see how the dairy farms are slowly disappearing from the PA landscape. This appears to have been a booming farm back in it's hayday. The one barn had pretty many bull pens. They must have had good breeding prospects. Would LOVE to know the history of this place, and see historic pictures when it was in operation. Thanks again.
Frozen in time. It was amazing walking through the buildings and getting a chance to film it. Thanks for watching Bob. Loved almost could smell it. Lol
One of my other channels suggested checking you out. I like what I see. Great video and I will be checking out all your other videos too, especially your recovery. I'm impressed that you would document it for the public. Thank you so much.
+Darlene Good Thank you Darlene I am really glad you like what you see and I am very happy to have you come over and check out the channel many blessings take care talk to you soon
Tks for showing this. It's hard to just wonder why but it happens. It's just a great lost to see farms of this nature just left to rott away. Would like to know of more of the history on this place
I think in the comments there was someone in here that made a comment that knows more about this farm I think maybe a past relation owns it or owned it at 1 point but yes check up in the comments I think there is someone that knows more take care my friend
Stub pipe’s in concrete were the individual tie stall partitions. Vacuum (buckets)/milk pipeline if they had one, were at the front of the stalls, above the cows. Barn with pens was probably used for the raising of replacement, birth till calving,(24 to 30 months of age). From Northeast WI. Don’t remember milking my first cow, took over family farm. 👨🏻🦳 🐄 🚜
Yes that's one thing when you walk through places like this and you kind of imagine what it would have been like and if we could only go back in time I believe we would be thoroughly impressed with how much they did without innovation and how much work went into the care of the place. Dairy farms nowadays are so automated but it's still a lot of work
That use to be one of my relations old farm back in the day they have a few farms yet on Herman road. This one was just left behind no one wanted it been like that for 20-30 years I would say
The pipes sticking up in the dairy barn were cow stall dividers that were cut off and removed. Milker/vacuum line or pipeline were up front over the cows front shoulders. The third barn looks like the heifer barn used to raise the replacements, from birth to calving. 👨🏻🦳 🐄 🚜
I'm not sure what the building was that was next to it but that was beautiful beautiful very beautiful really enjoyed taking a look at that place wish I would have seen it in its heyday
I believed I pinned a comment on this one from someone who is a relation to the people that used to work the farm I think they just walked away from it
There is a county prison up the road however it might have been part of a state institution that is up over the hill it might have provided dairy for there
It seems odd that there is no milk house on the premises. Those were usually of an even more sturdy construction than the barns were, and should have remained standing just as long.
I think the stone building right next to it might have been the milk house if you watch the video once I come out of the Barns and go to the left I think that's might be what that building was not sure though
@@randomadventures2.0 Do you have a time stamp on that? You go out of the barns several times, so I'm not sure which time you're referring to. My only experience is with dairy farming in Virginia. If I saw facilities like that here, I'd say they were built no later than 1955, and likely no longer in use by 1985 at the latest. But other locales kept the tie-stall barns going longer than we did here. Our summer-time heatwaves don't work well with tie-stall barns.
@@jonathankipps9061 I don't have a time stamp on it I can go in and try to look at it once I'm done traveling but I have a live happening tonight so I'm headed back from New York State back into PA it is right after I come out of the door and I go down to a spring house and then I go into a building that is all Stone and I didn't know what that was used for because the farmhouse was about 50 yards away. I think there is a comment that is pinned at the very top that was a relative and they mentioned that it's usage stopped about 50 to 60 years ago. Well then as you know Dairy farming is a hard hard thing to do and like you said the old tie up Barnes would have been very hot.
It's been awhile since I've looked at these comments I thought I had it pinned but in the comment section there's one gentleman that it was it his relations farm and he said about 20 to 30 years ago nobody wanted it. And there is a state-run facility just up over the hill from it so someone also suggested that it may have been tax-funded by that which was a mental health facility
We just found you're Channel!! We love it!!! This video did wonders for us. Coming from Dairy Farmers, We loved it! Curious as to what the one separate barn was for that had the beautiful Wood barn doors in top level?
Joy this is awesome thank you so much I am glad you found the channel and I used to help out a couple of friends back in the day with their dairy farms I remember fondly of drinking milk right out of the cooler with a Tin Cup that hung on a rafter right next to it especially good coming off the field of baling hay of which I am sure you have fond memories of thank you so much for watching and you take care and I will see you on the next random Adventure thanks again for becoming a part of our 2.0 family take care and Happy Thanksgiving
It's sad to see a farm just left abandoned and people that goes there feel the need to vandalize the property... Lot of places that I seen if people had respect and don't vandalize the property the buildings would be in great shape... And maybe give it a second chance to have life again
Yes very sad to see and I think it's been abandoned for close to 30 or 40 years what was crazy is there was still feed in the silos a few of them definitely infested with rats there is someone who knew the family that made a comment in the comment section I'm not quite sure why they left it in disarray
It looks like an old state farm, usually connected to a prison or mental hospital. All paid for with tax dollars. If this is the place I'm thinking of, it was an impressive operation in it's day. From what I've been told, they quit milking/farming it back in the late '60's or 70's. The barn that runs parallel to the milk barn looks like a heifer/young cattle barn.
I'm not sure if it was but you might be right there is a state-run facility just over the hill from it so I would think that you are probably correct thank you so much for your input really appreciate that you have an awesome day and week take care of my friend
@@randomadventures2.0 Yes, then it is the the place I'm thinking of. At one time it was a state owned/operated dairy farm. The patients at the facility were the labor for the farm.
Good Content. Nice Delivery. I am here for the old barn. Never go wrong with old bans. Love the old grainery. Thats nice. Curios as to the state this is in?
Yeah thank you so much for watching this was a really cool place I had not realized that it had been abandoned so many years ago without the graffiti it would have been way better it's unfortunate I think the Grain in the silos has been there since it's closed which has to be more than 20 years ago I haven't been by the area again since that video but I believe it's probably still the same take care my friend

That had to be quite a operation for it's time!! Breaks my heart seeing these old tiestall and stanchion dairys disappear from the countryside
Yes I would imagine that it's time that was probably high-tech big operation
Hurts my heart seeing abandoned dairy farms
Yes mine as well I can only imagine what it would look like in its day that was a beautiful location as well with the little stream running below it well pump house that building that was right next to the two barns I'm not quite sure what that building was used for because it wasn't a house the house was down in the field with a collapsed roof it was too far to walk at that time and I would have been very exposed by the neighboring property I might go revisit it at some point

Yes very sad to see dairy farms In this condition nowadays
I see that Clint signed one of the silos !
So many places left to fall by the wayside. Thanks for sharing
Yeah I think it's been like 50 or 60 years since this was used lots of land around it that's not even farmed anymore it seems
1st. I love the old barns. Just watching I could see that place and how it use to operate, almost could smell it ha ha. Thanks Tony!!

What state was this located
Hey John this farm is located in Pennsylvania
@@randomadventures2.0 Thank You
I would have loved to see that place in its Hay Day. It's sort of sad to see it like that now.
Yes that's one thing when you walk through places like this and you kind of imagine what it would have been like and if we could only go back in time I believe we would be thoroughly impressed with how much they did without innovation and how much work went into the care of the place. Dairy farms nowadays are so automated but it's still a lot of work
I wish i could have seen that back in its day
That use to be one of my relations old farm back in the day they have a few farms yet on Herman road. This one was just left behind no one wanted it been like that for 20-30 years I would say
That is so awesome. Thank you for sharing. I bet it was a beautiful farm at one time. Sad to see it in that condition now.
Any chance of getting a chance of more history on this..? Looks like a great farm in its day. Just a shame that it was just gave up on. A sad lost...
The building with the doors that go up was probably a hog or sheep barn
The pipes sticking up in the dairy barn were cow stall dividers that were cut off and removed. Milker/vacuum line or pipeline were up front over the cows front shoulders. The third barn looks like the heifer barn used to raise the replacements, from birth to calving. 👨🏻🦳 🐄 🚜
Thank you John great information. I really appreciate that
This looks a lot like my family's old dairy barns in Wisconsin. Great video!
Cool this is in Pennsylvania
Good adventure.
Yes that was very cool
That was quite a place in the day.
I'm not sure what the building was that was next to it but that was beautiful beautiful very beautiful really enjoyed taking a look at that place wish I would have seen it in its heyday
Sad to see the dairy farms in those conditions and how they have graffiti. wonder what ever happened to the family that used to work that farm.
I believed I pinned a comment on this one from someone who is a relation to the people that used to work the farm I think they just walked away from it
My second thought watching was it this a prison farm because of the size of those barns ,must have taken many workers
There is a county prison up the road however it might have been part of a state institution that is up over the hill it might have provided dairy for there

It looks like a 100 plus tie stall barn where they lived in winter and were milked on site. The other is a calf barn. Nothing like that in California.
Yes definitely older and appreciate the information thanks for sharing this
That second building would have been a poultry building I would guess, but a large operation
Could have been
ty for sharing !
Absolutely Frank

Stalls on the end look like maternity pens.
Very cool
Hey man it's kyler met you at Hollywood Pizza
Buddy how are you today I am thankful that you jumped on and commented hope you had a great night
@@randomadventures2.0 my good night still continues into today :p
Where is this location?
Central Pennsylvania down below Selinsgrove PA
So sad to see all the graffiti! Effin punks!
Yes definitely no need for graffiti that is so sad that people have to ruin ruins with their wannabe artwork it is sad
Pipes were part of the stalls. Nothing to do with the milk.
Thanks I realized that after I watched it once it was posted. lol thanks for watching
We need more independent dairy operations.
What?
@jeremyfreeman717 you have a question?
@@JeffCooper28 what’s an independent dairy operation?
😂
Trespassing?
I haven't been over in that direction lately I'll have to go check
This guy knows nothing about dairy barns
True
Evidently nothing about trespassing laws either.
