I love places like this, almost like stepping into the past for a moment. It's even better when there are existing pictures of the time. What I find almost magical are the old calendars and advertisements. Thank you for showing us this gem.
Dan is amazing. So much history stored in his brain. Fascinating vlog. Shame so much lost fantastic the the store has survived. Cheers Lynne Victoria Australia 🇦🇺 🐨👍🏻👋🏻
I am so much reminded of my uncles general store in Bath, New Brunswick, Canada. Each time you post one of these I know I'm going on a trip -- reminiscing. Cool seeing Dan and Joy to hear their knowledge.
What a great story this one was. I worked at a country store for awhile and loved my customers. The stories you heard and the laughter I miss a lot. If only you could go back in time and see this place in its hey day. You guys are the best.
@@teresawelborn1360 I now work for an OLD, tiny, country store in N.Mississippi with no other businesses around & a few houses! My great grandparents lived down the road & they planted & picked cotton on both sides of the road. They ginned their cotton in the gin that is falling down across from the store! There were four stores there at one time. It is awesome that I'm now working where my grandmother shopped at a young girl, walking most everywhere. And the stories she shared are burnt in my mind! Wonderful memories!
The original wood store burnt down some yrs ago; the new block one was built in 1959. Our corner used to be the hub of existence for the area with ball games, town picnics, live music, etc occuring every weekend, she told me. People came in by wagons, horses & walking! I love the history!
Enjoyed seeing Dan and Joy returning to the video. Their combined knowledge of generations is phenomenal. Thank you Roger for sharing your family store with us. Would love to have lived in the wonderful times of old. Hard work but people enjoyed each other’s company.
I love listening to history being told!!! Even if it's in another state!!! I'm in South Carolina!!! Thank you Robert , Dan and Joy ❤ God bless each of you always, keep y'all healthy and safe 🙏🙏🙏 Much love to each of you 🫶🫶🫶
I remember old stores like that in ky good to see joy and mr dan I don't have much cool fam history but I got to meet my great grandfather once at a freemason home in 1970 he was almost 100 and I was 3 have pic of us his father fought in the civil war makes me sound ancient but I'm not
Glad to see Joy & Dan back on the video giving us these wonderful history lessons of times gone by. These stories make me think of my folks down in SE Kentucky up in the hills. Same kind of thing going on. My great-grandma Mayne used to have a "convenience store" attached to her house where she would sell bread & other items that people in the community would need, but not want to travel 12 miles into town to get. Just all kinds of things that would be needed at a moments notice (your 7/11 or Spar, sot to speak). She even had one of those old-timey telephones hanging on the wall that was just a "party line" that people could use if need be.
What a wonderful, special visit to Cleola’s Milner Store! Thank you Robert, Joy and Dan for sharing the history of the place and the people who lived there! Your anecdotes and mementos brought Cleola back to life for a few special moments! Thanks also to Mr Milner!
That is great to see this quaint old building hanging around. That's great to see y'all got a tour. That's interesting they would recycle the checks. I mean that can keep a small economy going for a little while but eventually someone would have to take the big bite of the wallet. Handmade checker boards are so fun to find. Mr. Milner has impressive hair for his age. I'm sure he's the envy of men his age.
It's wonderful that the history is preserved here. Thank you for sharing the history and info with us. so many wonderful stories of the people and the town.
Robert … another great video! You , Dan, Joy make a great team. Mr. Milner , as you and the team have awesome memories! lol. I love the history. This is one of your videos you have to watch twice. That good. Maybe I missed it , I was wondering about all the hub caps. Anyway, I really enjoyed. Also, great camera work. As always. 😬
Thanks so much for sharing these places. Good to see Dan and Joy again. Time is a fleeting thing,a precious gift of life's days, It comes and goes, a bird with swift wings. How I wish I could have more time,but time is fleeting ,like a passing breeze,it moves fast and cannot be grasped,it's there one day and gone the next. Of this precious gift I give you mine because you are worth every second spent. written by Rolf van der Wind,meant by me. I love those old stores,we have quite a few still standing scattered across the county. Most are boarded up,old wooden porches,tin roofs and sometimes tin siding,old RC cola signs,a metal bread sign across the screen door,remnants of a long ago community. Some have been remodeled and are used for little diners,one I know of belongs to an orchard grower,they also sell vegetables,jams and jellies and honey. Pumpkins and apples in the fall and they have an autumn festival there,lots of scarecrows are made and a prize for the best one. Looking forward to Part 2. Enjoy your Turkey day,say hey to Blue,Annie Dog and the cats,oh and Jerry got another pardon this year,I hope, gooble gooble🐕🐈⬛🦃from Ky.
Oh for the old days...family, friends, community and tradition. The store holds such a comfy feeling - a warm hug from history. Joy is fortunate to have the letters, checks, and stories that were told. Connecting it all is a blessing. This feature is a good lesson...First of all pay attention and seek your own history, hold those people dear, it all becomes more valuable to your heart and life as time passes. As always Dan I appreciate you sharing your stories and knowledge. You truly know the value of all of these people and places. Thank you for the video, Robert, and another picture painted of history. Enjoyed! ❣❣👍👍
Yes it absolutely was an amazing place to visit. Not only seeing the historic structure but it also remaining in the same family makes it extra special and their obvious love for it. I am forever appreciative of Joy for allowing me to document her family history and it has lead to some incredible places, as we’ll see in part 2……. Stay tuned!
Thank you for the sweet comment, Sondra. I definitely feel lucky to have discovered all this family history waiting there to be found and so thankful to Robert for documenting it. ❤
I bet whoever hung those Fall Lights is thinking, "Now why didn't they turn the Lights on for Filming?" ... Men ... Just don't think ... lol (Would have been Perfect) 🍂 What a wonderful job some family member(s) is/are doing keeping the store and property maintained. Best Thoughts to them! Appreciate the share everyone! Happy Thanksgiving! 🍂 🦃 🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁
Such an interesting video sharing the story and history of a once small bustling town and community with all the resources needed in very close proximity. It’s so neat how well the old store is preserved and inside looks like it could be open for business. Love to hear the family members left still gather there for Thanksgiving!
My husband talks about his gpa, Sigvart Robertson, being local checker champion in Meridean WI. I grew up in NE OKLA. On suffering water. Remember letting glass set for the sulfer to settle to the bottom. Turned on faucets and water ran clear to dark gray. Probably did purify our bodies to a point; suffer was first line of antibiotics before penicillin in 1943.
Thank you so much for sharing as I would love to see a place like that in person so very beautiful and a very interesting part of history may it continue to live on there .Happy Thanksgiving everyone 🦃🦃🦃
This was really interesting to learn about the history of Mill & history of the people & families also to see what was left & the stories of the people coming in & out of the store. I really enjoy the History.
Enjoy learning about the rich history of long ago Georgia. Thanks Dan for your information. My ancestry goes back to Laurens county Ga where my Hampton side were from.
We lived in a little town of 52 people, all distantly related. People did not sell their land! The town, Gibisonville... yes, there is an extra 'I'.... was laid out by the Gibison family. It was located in Hocking County, Ohio. The first building was the town hall, built in 1842. The second building was the general store was built about 1845. It remained a store until 2005. It is now someone's home. Then a few small houses and then the milner store was built in 1856. This eventually was bought by my husband's family in 1932, the original store part was jacked up and reinforced with steel beams in the cellar. They also added onto it. It still stands today.
I think this is my favorite video so far. I appreciate the historic tales that Joy told and Dan, I sure I am not the only one to say that I miss you. I love the reporters article. I would love to get a copy and read the entire article. Is there a way to find it? Thank you for this very informative video.
There should have been a gas pump out front. I lived on moon road on the top of oak mountain not far from where milner road intersected it. I always took the dirt road into waverly hall. My grandfather ran a little shotgun country store on hwy 262 halfway between Climax Georgia and Attapulgas ga . There was a porch on the front where all the men told stories and one pump for gas
Uncle Howard always set on the bench telling tall tales. He would tell stories about taking Hank Williams jr fishing over on Lake Seminole, I figured it was just another BS story as a kid. About 10 years later(1976) I’m in the old Hand movie theater in Pelham Georgia at a Hank jr concert when Hank says I want to introduce y’all to somebody who used to take me fishing… Howard stand up
My grandpa and an old friend would play checkers all afternoon. I got bored and went off to play. They didn't talk, just sat there staring at the board. Couldn't understand what the big deal was. But grandpa and his friend played every afternoon.
So real talk, I love your channel. I watch every video. I'm not in a position to pay for exclusive content, I am getting the feeling that your videos will eventually be paywalled.
Open with Dan AND Miss Joy! Ya know it's going to be informative with Mr. Dan :D and with Miss Joy along, full of Southern grace, beauty, and elegance!
I live in Chester County Pa. and there is a famous architect named John D. Milner that lives in this county , I wonder if he is related to the Milners of Cleola
@ as far as I know my dad’s side of the family was in KS and buried in Western KS. It could just be similar names and time periods but different people
@ it’s interesting that my grandmother maiden name was Beck. I know that Aaron Beck is as far back as I have went and says born in IL 1835-1900. Again buried in western KS but wondering if related or not.
The Cleola postmistress was Loula “Louie”/“Lou” Beck (1853-1927), so I would say a different woman. But if I come across additional information about these Becks with ties to Kansas, I will definitely try to follow up with you on that.
Wouldn’t it be a wonderful experiential time travel and be an invisible observer of these places in their prime? Just watching the comings and goings and interactions between the people and the environment.
Was this William Marshall connected to the one who ran the ferry over the Flint River, latter to be murdered in Russell County (now Lee) Alabama? Intriguing minds want to know.

It's great to see Joy.
I just enjoyed listening to Roger's regional dialect in telling the history of this area. He made the stories come to life.
love when joy is on the show
So good to see Dan… you know we love him Robert..:and Joy of course…she’s such a wealth of historical info!

Living history. Love it! I can tell Joy loves doing research!
Wow, y'all in Georgia have so much rich history! A whole lifetime would not be enough to see it all!
I am so much reminded of my uncles general store in Bath, New Brunswick, Canada. Each time you post one of these I know I'm going on a trip -- reminiscing. Cool seeing Dan and Joy to hear their knowledge.
Love this old store and that it’s still kept up. I’m a quilter and loved seeing the quilts ❤
Mr. Dan is amazing! A walking encyclopedia. Love listening to him. A wealth of knowledge.

Maybe. I will have to ask Joy.
@ as far as I know my dad’s side of the family was in KS and buried in Western KS. It could just be similar names and time periods but different people
@ this would have definitely been someone in Georgia
