I'm sitting here, watching this, babysitting a CNC stone saw as it automatically cuts pieces of granite, thinking about the astronomical amount of effort it would have been to do all the stonework for the structures in that area 200 years ago, long before these newfangled implements were invented.
I'm probably preaching to the choir in this comment section but I have to say again that your videos are absolutely top notch quality and a real delight to watch!
th s is still the best channel on you tube. always something of interest and new to me. and always something worth knowing. thanks to vince- great tour guide and a special thanks to vince for keeping the past alive and relevant.
Love your videos! Learning the history of America is so fascinating and to see how much has changed over time is just mind blowing. Keep up the great work you do and can't wait for the next video.
I'm from steel town Phoenixville, PA, born and raised! Love this local Pennsylvania history, and thank you for spotlighting! As in all parts of the US (which i have the luxury of visiting through you), such beautiful, rich, and sadly sometimes forgotten history! Thank you for illuminating all of it!!!
That's intresting. As far as I know, Pennsylvania became the new home for many settlers from the upper Rhine regions (today's Alsace/Lorraine, Switzerland, Southwest Germany). This settlement was most likely named after the Swiss city of Lausanne which is on the shores of Lake Geneva. What's special is that the people from Lausanne are french speakers while the afore mentioned Pennsylvanian settlers were usually (alemannic) german speakers. Switzerland at that time (17th/18th century) was more of a loose confederation of miniature states rather than the nation state it became in 1849. Yet, the remains of a settlement called "Lausanne" in Pennsylvania indicates that there already was quite some interaction and trade in between the regions of french and german speaking parts of the old swiss federation despite the different language. Maybe it's also because Lausanne was under Bernese rule at that time, if I am not mistaken.
It's a shame that our ancestors didn't have the fore sight to not destroy these old sites. But none the less it's still great to learn about places like this even though they no longer exist.
Very interesting video. I've never heard of Lausanne, Pennsylvania. 7:33 Reminds me of rock climbing. I was trying to get a good look in the video, but they might have been trying to make a stepping stone ladder on the outside for some reason.
I love your videos and enjoy each of them. This one is especially interesting to me in that its local to where I live and have grown up. Additionally, my 4th Great Grandparents likely resided in Lausanne, Northampton Co (later it became Carbon County in 1846-47). The family appears on the US Federal census report of 1820 in Lausanne, then residents of Mauch Chunk by 1830 and afterwards. They are buried in Mauch Chunk - now Jim Thorpe, PA
I live close to Lausanne in Switzerland! If you ever want to visit here, make sure to check out the CGN line. Old paddle steamers still operational today
The Warrior's Path... The third book of Louis L'Amour's books about the Sackett family was titled that. It's been a long time since I read it, but it was set in the late 16 or early 1700's and I'm fairly certain the path here is the same one he referenced.
There is a town in Uintah county, Utah mountains that was completely buried by a landslide. It's name was "Thistle", named after the flower. This town has been around 1878 as a locomotive servicing town as its primary industry, and it wasn't until 1983 (the wettest year for the Wasatch mountains on record) when a landslide occurred, which was the costliest disaster in Utah's history.
It's in Utah county, at the top of Sanpete county. I was born during that flood and grew up driving through the ruins of Thistle. My dad fished in the temporary lake that formed from that landslide. The marks from the water are still there, fading a little more each year, and the houses are disappearing one by one.
I've been up that way so many times and never knew that little town ever existed. Thank you for all the hard work and time you put into all of these videos. Your channel is way better than some others out there.
What a great watch, enjoyable, educational and great narration. Background music was just right, it was there but not overly loud. Thanks to all involved in making this video.
thank you again Mr Lynskey and crew, and Mr Hydro, for taking us along on another trek of re-discovery to a place that left no physical trace. i wonder if it would be worth trying to re-find the cave "full of indian artifacts".
Always interesting to learn about historical places. Lausanne might be completely gone physically but people like you and Mr. Vince are making sure it's not forgotten
If you're ever in Indiana County, PA, check out the ghost town of Wehrum. It's got quite a rich history. My dad's mother is from the family of Macks that still live in the area.
You should look up Livermore NH. It was an old mill town. Thats just a small part of our history here. I can show you many more unexplored places with cool history here in NH and VT. There are ghost towns, mines, old grand hotels, and WW2 POW camps
At 14' 25", a photo is shown which appears to show some sort of saw palmento plant. Is that plant native to this area of Pennsylvania or is the photo just meant to be representative of what you are discussing in the story?
It's believed to be the same Indian trail as what goes through Lausanne, but the trail stretches from Alabama and Florida up through the area and into upper New York. These photos are likely in the southern parts of the trail, where those plants are common.
The rail yard was owned by the Central Railroad of New Jersey and the line on the other side of the river was the Lehigh Valley. With both becoming part of Conrail the interchange point was no longer necessary. All tracks are now owned by the Reading Blue Mountain and Northern Railroad.
The "something" "somebody found" @13:32 appears to this observer to be a poorly maintained and subsequently abandoned shooting rest for sighting in firearms. OTOH, it *could* be a piece of a historic 19th century lock gate randomly sitting on a picnic table in the woods. We just don't know.
Its amazing how many of these towns ive seen traveling each state in search of covered bridges. Once a more easier or faster mode of transportation was in place these towns just vanished in time. The entire Ohio Valley is a story untold.
I have a beautiful new Zfold 6 and i have to say... it bugs me videos not being atleast 60fps 😅 whenever there is any kind of camera movement at the standard RUclips 24fps.. or passing vehicle or whatever I can just see it flickering 😢... if you upload in 2160p... why not make it 60fps!? ... first world problems!! 😂😂😂😂

As a 60+ year old lady....I live vicariously through your videos. This is excellent. Thank you so much!
Thanks for carrying on the legacy of old PBS channel documentaries. 👍
History is one of the coolest things, especially when it's something small that most people never even knew existed. Keep up the great work Thomas!
Without the hard work of people like you, so much history would have long been forgotten. Thank you for sharing your videos!
Your channel is one of a few that I have notifications on. I eagerly wait for the next installment.
Thank you Thomas
Same here. I love these stories of small towns that helped build America!
I'm probably preaching to the choir in this comment section but I have to say again that your videos are absolutely top notch quality and a real delight to watch!
Thanks, Tom, for finally setting the record straight on the James Run powder magazines, and the lost village of Lausanne
th s is still the best channel on you tube. always something of interest and new to me. and always something worth knowing. thanks to vince- great tour guide and a special thanks to vince for keeping the past alive and relevant.
Boss: How's that project coming along?
Me: erm...it's going to be delayed at least 31 minutes or so...

Perfect start to the morning
Very interesting video. I've never heard of Lausanne, Pennsylvania.
7:33 Reminds me of rock climbing. I was trying to get a good look in the video, but they might have been trying to make a stepping stone ladder on the outside for some reason.
Woohoo! No channel makes me SO happy with new content!
The world is good once more Part Time Explorer has uploaded. Love this channel. Thanks for sharing with us
Thank you so much for bringing us the story of the buried town of Lausanne . Very well done, indeed 👏 👍
Another wonderful documentary. Glad you two wore long sleeves and jeans; hope you checked for ticks as well.
I know Vince well. He's a terrific local historian!

What a journey. Thank you for another excellent and educational video. Thank you to Mr. Hydro for sharing his wisdom.
The bridge at 9:20 looks completely covered in paw paw trees too!
another great presentation .i enjoy your passion to your craft thanks again
Very interesting story again! 😮

Lovely exploration of this area, such rich history in that area of the country
YAAAY NEW PART-TIME EXPLORER UPLOAD YOU MADE MY MORNING

Beautiful documentary again, Tom 👌👍🏼👍🏼
Always here for a Pennsylvania video.
How does this dude not his own segment on the history channel yet????
I'm not saying it's aliens
Because the history channel doesn't care about shows about history anymore, reality TV is king
Because TV today is designed to make you dumber, and disconnect you from your roots and history.
It's so depressing how many homes and towns aren't here anymore. Thank you for documenting them while they're still visibly here
I've been up that way so many times and never knew that little town ever existed. Thank you for all the hard work and time you put into all of these videos. Your channel is way better than some others out there.
What a great watch, enjoyable, educational and great narration. Background music was just right, it was there but not overly loud. Thanks to all involved in making this video.
I am consistently impressed with your videos - thank you for carrying our history to the future.
Amazing. If you have a story and the ability to tell it, even an absence can be made fascinating.
_Always a treat._
thank you again Mr Lynskey and crew, and Mr Hydro, for taking us along
on another trek of re-discovery to a place that left no physical trace.
i wonder if it would be worth trying to re-find the cave "full of indian artifacts".
Seems that the old warrior trail would make a good hiking trail
Thank you for a great piece of local (to me) history that I didn't know the whole story on! Keep up the great work and great videos!
They may have hung lanterns from those oddly places stones on the outer walls. That light colored stone does an excellent job of amplifying light.
I've been to that exact area many times at the wye there chasing trains and I never knew that there was a town there once
Always interesting to learn about historical places. Lausanne might be completely gone physically but people like you and Mr. Vince are making sure it's not forgotten
Thanks for a great history lesson!!! And I'm a new sub! Thanks again.👍👍👍
Thank you!
I'm from Pennsylvania and in all my hospital research on my state I've never heard of this place 👀
Always appreciate it when you are in PA.
This was great, thank you !
Amazing story! Been to Jim Thorpe many times and never knew this. Thank you 🙏 😊😊😊
I'm French, but I am always intrigued and fascinated by these stories of American ghost towns, or hamlets. Thanks for this video 😊👍
Thank you.
Another really interesting piece of otherwise completely lost history
I live about an hour away, this is fascinating!
Awesome. More abandoned townsites please!
I found so many old coins there when I go metal detecting. One of my favorite spot.
They really named a town after lasang, Gorf's feast of choice
If you're ever in Indiana County, PA, check out the ghost town of Wehrum. It's got quite a rich history. My dad's mother is from the family of Macks that still live in the area.

I was just in the bookstore Vince refers to a few months ago. Now I wanna go back and pick up his book.
What’s the name of the soundtrack you use? I love it
@vertermae_ the song is baptized and buried by will Harrison!! 😎🤙🏻
Good ol america that needs to be brought back

You should check the sceletal remains of the town of La Molca in Bradford county Pennsylvania. In the general area of my residence.
Nice!
Looks like a good place to do a lidar system exploration.
About 1hr 40min away ❤
I love your videos but I might just be subscribed to hear you read all the Kaisers donating to your work😂
It's a interesting story, but I'm still back where that Vehicle was, and why it's there
thx
I have a beautiful new Zfold 6 and i have to say... it bugs me videos not being atleast 60fps 😅 whenever there is any kind of camera movement at the standard RUclips 24fps.. or passing vehicle or whatever I can just see it flickering 😢... if you upload in 2160p... why not make it 60fps!? ... first world problems!! 😂😂😂😂
theres a mystery object channel that may help udentify that iron fixture
Interesting
11:20 hey! nice abuttment!
Ooo a train, I like trains.
I'm so ready for the "Part Time Explorer" to go to Ireland, ✨ (County Kerry) where my lineage hails from. (Kerry and Cork) ☘️ 🇮🇪 🔑
I just know there are a few areas of interest, and History, that will offer vast value of interest and most delicious discoveries.
... and wouldn't that be such a fun trip with your friends and/or partner "?"
Show me some "County Kerry" and while you're there, maybe you'll discover a cottage on the ocean, that I can rent for a longer visit, to Write, Paint, and "drink" in some Living, with My People!
It would truly be a gift, such that you can't imagine. 💚

"Corporations" have so influence this Country (all of North America) and the People.
"Corporatism" should not be confused as, "in any form, part or partial, or related to" "Capitalism", the latter is recognized through its traits of: Free Enterprise, Competition, Value and Value of the Dollar/(better Products and Services for best price), the Consumer and the Country Benefits in multiple ways,vit promotes a healthy Economy , Opportunities, Independent and Small Businesses thrive in Capitalism.

It is ultimately a de-evolution of society, a return to a Rulership, the Rulership over the masses by Monetary Monarchs.
This Country has struggled with those seeking control, since it began to gain momentum from havesting of resoures and creating products.
Each Presidential assassination has a direct line 9f association to the Subjects of the Tools of Control and those who Own these or desired to Own them:
🔺Information/News Medias
🔺Money/Banking, Finance, Currency, the "Federal Reserve Bank Corporation" a 0rivately owned Corporation, owners are neither Citizens or Residents
🔺Military Contracts
🔺National Security
🔺CIA: established by Prescott Bush, grandfather of George the 2nd and George Sr's dad, a privately owned agency/Corporation
It 8s essential ti establish a habit of being:
"Conscious in Thought"+
"Applying Higher Mind"
in order to maintain Mature Management of one's own Mind, Thoughts, and Beliefs.
Discerning information, rather than being fostered in Lower Mind Programming.
"We the People" have a responsibility to our Country, to use our power to ensure a balance in Harmony for the Greater Good and Wellbeing of the People and this Nation.

This looks right out of Red Dead Redemption 2.
Wonder how the town people dealt with the railroad 🤔. I doubt everyone wanted to relocate.
That tree was old enough to be a trail marker?
How can you be a camper _and_ a polluter? Makes no sense to me.
Switzerland of America? Colorado 😐 OK...
😄👍
Pronounced "Lasagna" actually.
Sorry for the historian, but much of the early American Industrial Revolution ran on hydropower not as much coal.
