Another Master Work of historical documentary skill. Television's loss is our gain and we are so grateful to you for sharing with us.
Your storytelling is just amazing. I was there with you ❤️
KM Forward thank you!!!
The story and especially your way of telling it had me blinking back tears at the end of this. So so glad I found your channel. Thank you.
yes me too
Me too...
hasty2 ❤️❤️❤️
CBS Sunday Morning needs to hire you! You can spin a yarn for sure! Glad I found your channel.
That is just a great idea. She could do the closing on that program. I love there closing with all the nature.
You’re exactly right! She’d be perfect for their format.
That's what I was thinking too!
I vote for Casey on CBS Sunday Morning +.
You're phenomenal. Fabulous journalism. Why the hell hasn't HGTV offerred you a six-figure salary (to start)? Voice, storytelling and historical details (really superb, wonderfully crafted), witful commentary, all of it--whether a docu-story or the travails of life in a van. Truly remarkable, Casey.
Imho, you & Lettie of Lettie's Life win the prize. Every time.
I went on a tour to see Bolt castle before there was any restoration. It looks so different now. When I saw it people had stripped it of anything valuable, so glad to see it as it was meant to be. Will definitely go to take another tour as I did not realise they were restoring it. It is a sad story now, but it broke my heart when I saw it before and it has remained in my mind for years.
Mine too. But the husband never wanted it to be completed once his wife died.
It certainly looks different compared to 20 years ago when I went. I can't remember specifics, but all of the pictures that were taken when little 6 year old me was there compared to my visit in 2019 show all of the renovations made. Blocked off areas were open and the pool looked nothing like the images
I was there when they were working on the walls, some of the ceiling had been plastered. A pool table had already been moved in. The grounds had been landscaped and blooming. Beautiful.
I lost the love of my life 8 years ago to cancer. I can tell you love never dies and it's not about money or things. I live my life now milking every drop of joy and wonder out of every minute of every day...you just never know what life is gonna throw at you. Make the best of what you got and live your best life. Thank you Casey for telling the important stories that we all can learn fro.!
Casey's done it again. Today is the kind of painful day that no meds or mediitation can deter... or even dull.. but watching this presentation, I forgot the hurt...could have watched an hour more.
Your gift touches people in ways you cant imagine. I've passed the word to other worthy people.
Now to go revisit your other distractions. Tis a miracle, my dear, thank you.
Sez the Recliner babe.
My sons are serving in the Air Force and protecting our country. I miss them everyday and the way you told this story, I found myself trying to hold back my tears 🌻✈
The last ten minutes and 22 seconds of my life were spellbound. Casey; may your van never provide cooling ventilation, for the sweltering agony you endure sweats out the most beautiful writing and imagery I have ever enjoyed.
Casey, you have erased the line between journalism and artistry with this work. Beautifully done. Beautifully done.
WOW! That was wonderful, Thank You so much for sharing, I will put this on my bucket list.
Just a word of Kindness, We all Love You, Thank You for Sharing....
Casey : Your mastery of tone and flow in description shines brightly.
Years of pounding the pavement have provided such a stable experiential foundation and template from which you grace us with your insightful blessing.
What does it say of us when it seems the first inclination of people is to deface and destroy our amazing history.
Hats off to the Hero’s who’ve laboured to restore this masterpiece and to you for sharing.
Peace
Wow...holy tearjurker batman. Another winner beautiful video and story. No doubt you are destined for greatness. The ending was powerful.
I just visited the castle June 2, 2024. I absolutely loved it. When we got there, we actually explored the basement first. As a person who understands what’s in the walls and how things are built, I went straight for the basement and started exploring wherever I could. It’s unfortunate that I couldn’t explore some of the unfinished spaces that were blocked off. I always love to see how things were built back then. I would love to revisit again down the road to see how the upstairs comes along
STUNNING!!! ...the castle, the story, you, and your storytelling & camerawork!!
Those pictures...beautiful as usual. Perfect little documentaries created by Casey Roman.
Casey, you are an amazing story teller. The dialog, intonation, highs and lows of your voice bring in the listener to almost experience the story and location. The day of the inverter breakdown and the torrential heat your delivery sucked me in so much I broke out in a hot flash. So glad you survived. Well done. Thank you for sharing these less known places with us. Makes me want to get back on the road for our weeks we spend roaming the country.
Well done lady. As a born and bred resident of the Thousand Islands I stand and applaud. You did amazing. Thank you. It was worth waiting for.
Just stunning: the castle itself, your filming, your voiceover, and the story you are telling. You are so talented Casey; I think your talent, skills, and hard work will take you in whatever direction you want to go next! (I too was in tears at the end.)
Awww! That made me cry and made me miss my late husband even more than I already do. Such a beautiful place. Such a tragic love story. Now this appeals to my paranormal investigator side-since it was supposed to be such a special, true everlasting gift for the love of his life, maybe both their spirits reside there now. They weren't meant to be there in life, but maybe in the afterlife, they are together there now. Thank you, Casey! Another awesome video! Love ya!!
Such a beautiful story , beautiful shots and narrative . Tragic but life can be . Now this gorgeous island is on my list :)💕
I'm lucky to live 90 minutes away from the castle.
I've gone numerous times and im still in awe everytime.
Truly incredible.
Outstanding, Casey! Now, I must visit there some day soon! I am attending the funeral tomorrow of a vibrant, warm, wonderfully funny woman who was only 5 years older than I. Cancer got her after a valiant fight of about two years. Grab those precious moments now! We are not guaranteed tomorrow! God bless and Bravo!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️
Casey, you do such wonderful photography in your videos, but this was exceptional.... the story had me in tears... such love from George to Louise and she never saw it😢. The preservation of buildings such as this is a necessity.. for it’s architecture, art, landscapes, outside buildings, bridges as well as the interior was truly breathtaking. Thank you for visiting and sharing your unique perspective of this fine castle. 👍♥️♥️♥️♥️😸
You have a way of making me cry...in a good way. Thank you for telling such amazing stories. You have a gift!
Y'all need to stop dating trash. Real men respect their lady's towels. Among other things.
Lyfan Deth That’s what curtains are for 😉
I visited Boldt Castle when it was in ruins many years ago. I walked through and imagined what it could have been and seeing this makes me glad that it was restored so future generations can see the power of love then and now.
this story is equally as beautiful as the buildings. amazing! thank you so much for sharing this place with us!
Thank you for your beautiful commentary 💕 great camera work 🎥 and graphic towel usage description 😊
A beautiful story from a beautiful person.
You have a gift for bringing to life the love story of Boldt Castle.
Thank you.
Just lovely, Casey. So well written and presented. I loved the literary twists, turns and surprises you sprinkled in this moving story. Thank you. ❤️
This is your best thus far! From The still's, to the video, to the music, that you chose to score. This my dear was a brilliant, stellar and profound achievement!
Wow! You just keep getting better! You are an amazing storyteller - you have a true gift!
Casey, without your narrative there would be no way to fully understand the beauty and love of this wondrous yet sad place...thank you
These videos are great. You narrate so well. You pack quite a bit of knowledge in a short time. I love historical places and stories. I can’t wait for our next journey. Thank You for sharing.
So touching and beautiful. Thank you Casey for all the work you put into this love story.
I went to Boldt castle when I was about 5 or 6, it was still mostly in ruins. That grand staircase and entry were just grey concrete and the stairs didnt even reach the floor. Its wonderful to see how far its come! You've reminded me that I should visit this beauty soon, as tomorrow is promised to no one
I am loving you. I am loving your story telling. AND I am also really loving other people loving you. The way you touch others, inspire others, connect with others is so relieving to my soul. You create community and connection half way around the world in ways that are so real and so raw. Thank you for your gifts.
Thank you so much for this beautiful video. I visited the castle many years ago and I am amazed how much has now been restored.
Tragic love story and told so well that I could feel his pain when he lost his wife. You are amazing at telling about places that make us feel as if we were there! That's why your channel is my favorite one!!
OMG !!! Left me weepy. What a Beautiful place with such History. His forever Love story for her. Thank You much for Sharing.
Such a tragic story. I am glad that the castle is being finished. Love the stained glass dome. Thanks for the story.
I was there in 1972 on a Winnebago trip,with my family to Canada. We went here,and it was basically ruins. Glad to see it restored.
What a beautiful story that was beautifully told. Thank you, Casey, for another outstanding video.
So well done! You are such a talented storyteller! I saw this castle many, many years ago and it was a ruin at the time but the story haunted me. I love that they have restored it. But what I love most is the way that you put everything into context. Thank you. 💕
You are such an amazing story teller. I can't wait for each new video to come out. So, I am finally happy to contribute to The Babe Bus and am joining your Patreon. Thanks for your amazing mini-documentaries.
Beautiful video! Loved the images and story! Probably your best yet!

Casey your sharing skills are amazing and I enjoy your stories and you so much. Thank you so much for making me laugh out loud and tear in the same moments.
What a story! Beautifully told, Casey! Thank you!!!
What a tragic and yet wonderful story, a story i would have never heard if it weren't for you and your amazing travels. Thank you Casey❣
You are so amazingly GOOD at storytelling. Love your work!
Beautifully documented. Great job, Thank you.
Thank you for such a beautiful story. We lived in Central NY for 7 years, but I never had opportunity to see this place or the islands. Seeing this makes me want to go back for a visit.
Was there in 2005, my first vacation on my own, they were just getting going with the restoration and only the downstairs and the staircase and of course the beautiful stained glass were done. I, too spent many hours there, especially upstairs in what was thought to be a library, sitting on a bench gazing out the French doors that overlooked the seaway. I miss that place badly and hope to someday return. Thank you for your beautiful tour.
OMG such a beautiful and sad story, thank you Casey for telling it so wonderfully! ❤️
Such a beautiful and tragic story. Thank you Casey!
Love your content, narrative, and humor. So professionally done. Kudos.
Wow!!! Just keeps getting better. Very easy giving you five out of five hearts on this one!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Such an incredible story and your narrative adds so much. Losing your job at the station was the best thing that could have happened to you. Keep going.
Your way of telling a story is amazing .
When you said George and Louise I thought it was going to be about the Jeffersons. Great piece as usual!
A good presentation of a love story, then an unexpected profound ending. That is story telling at its best.
Casey, I love this video.. ..as always. I love the way you tell a story. It's wonderful. And at the end, my throat hurting just a bit,from holding back the tears. Such a sad sad story !! 👍👍💜
My grandparents lived in Clayton New York for years. I visited the castle back in 01-02 and it was pretty much all run down and very little progress had been made from what I remember. It’s cool to see what it looks like now
Wow! What a love story! Grateful to you Casey for feeling it and sharing it with us
Beautifully done Casey! Thank You!
Nice mini doc. I visited this place a few times when it was in ruins, and very happy to know it is being completed.
What a beautiful telling of an amazing story. I live just outside of Toronto, and have had my eye on a Thousand Island boat cruise for a while -- will definitely have to include the Boldt Castle tour! Thanks for sharing.
Once again, amazing work young lady!!! Loved it!!
Thank you so much for opening my eyes to such an amazing place i love heart love and castles and this is all 3 wrapped in 1. Never wuldve found without u, so thank you! ✌
Thank goodness it is being restored. And they are not painting over the beautiful woodwork.
I ENJOYED this so much.... Thank you.
I've never had so much interest in social history (from across the pond) as when you tell it...love the way you share your experiences, that was a beautiful, and sad love story...thank you ❤️
I am addicted to Casey roman videos. As soon as my phone dings iam on the play button.
Miss Roman please come and watch Netflix with me. Oxoxo
DETROT JOE
Beautifully told. Thanks so much for sharing.
It is a great and tragic love story that you masterfully tell. I was on the edge of my bar stool listening to every heart breaking word. I want to go hug my loved ones and stop the Netflix for just a moment.
A master class in story telling. Another great job.
$tunning!!! Sad history, but such beauty. It's good that it will be finished! The true meaning of awesome. 💕 🏰
Another beautiful place I've never heard of before. So sad. Glad it was saved and completed.
Bravo, Casey!👏🏾🙌🏾👏🏾 What a touchingly tragic story...glad that place founded on love is getting the chance to become the haven it was meant to be! You did an awesome job! I love all your videos...you are so funny, so real, keep it 💯 all the time! I so enjoy watching your channel.❤️ You are a gifted storyteller!
Well, another amazing video. I hope your previous TV station employers know what they let go. Probably not.
Well done again, Casey! Thank you😀
Beautiful video, the story was touching and the message rang clear. Now another destination you've visited has been added to my my see bucket list. And ALL of this love story brought to us without click bait or side boob. Thank gypsy lady again your efforts and hard work in providing such great content. Keep on keepin' on.
Really enjoyed the way you told the story of this place. Not stuffy or boring. Very much relatable. This place is just So amazingly beautiful, but the the background story, so sad. And Wow! Built for his wife as a Valentine's Day present! Where did I go so wrong? Wish my husband would give something like this to me as a present!
: What a spectacular Castle. Thanks are taking us along.
Casey, you know how to tell a story! Excellent stuff as always...
Oh Casey. Thank you it's so stunning and heartbreaking.
The way you tell stories it's wonderful. If you ever go to NYC you must stop at the Merchant house museum built in 1832. You would love it. It has 95 % original items in th e home of a wealthy merchant. You can tell their story. Awesome vlog!!!
Jeeeeeez Casey, nothing like summonsing George's forever broken HEART!
We visited Boldt Castle last year. Such an amazing place!
Very well done story telling, you nailed it again Casey!
What a beautiful loving story♥️♥️♥️. Thank you for sharing it!!! What a magical place..
Thank You so much for sharing this amazing place of care and family. A beautiful story of how love will stay alive in every heart. Love never dies even if it has been forgotten for many years it will find a way to stay alive, completing its promised destiny. Thank you again for sharing how you see the world through the lens. ;-)
What an amazing story and story-teller. What can I say?? I love these historical buildings videos of yours.
