Hi Chig, that's a tobaccos barn. We have them all over down here in Ohio/Kentucky. All those sticks are for staking tobaccos and the weird placement of different beams was mainly for attaching tobaccos to dry. Lovely old thing she is. The door with the matching slots was for a brace for a ladder. It's how the "monkeys" got to the rafters.
@@robertreese2600 If I am "reading" the farm correctly , this would had been the utility barn that housed overflow of tobaccos along with the specialist equipment. The land where tobaccos are grown needs to be kept airy and light. They would had used smaller horses or even ponies to plant and harvest, along with lighter wagons. The bottom probably housed all that including the animal. Stringers break fairly often after a year or two anyways as wet tobaccos are heavy.
Tonight we are going to check out this old barn and an old shed that has some interesting things in it. I hope you enjoy this little adventure! Please check out RelicManMatt's RUclips channel here: www.youtube.com/@RelicManMatt/featured Thanks to everyone who chimed in as to what type of barn that is. I've never seen one this far north but it makes sense.
Chigg/Beau, I enjoyed your explore of that old homestead. The way they built those old structures is super interesting to me. Glad you brought us along.
I really like the tours you give through old abandoned buildings. The Shenandoah valley was the breadbasket of the confederacy up until about 1864 when it was pretty much controlled by federal troops under General Franz Siegel.
Worked repairing an old barn once back in the seventies in Crofton Maryland from 1887. It had an old spring house with a creek running through it. This was really good Chigg, thanks.
The way you ❤ all animals is why I am still following you. And a plus is the history of places that you visit that I also care about. I lived in western maryland as a kid plus Baltimore md, then moved Jackson mississippi when I was second grade. In 1969 moved back maryland until 1974 then mississippi again. To shorten my story in 1979 I caught a greyhound bus to Las Vegas, NV and I have been all the south and southwest ever since. You are so down to earth and not about yourself and that's why I think you are so cool my friend ♥
They are all over my area, Tobacco barn. Missing a few of the dry poles but mostly it's all there. Usually your horses and milk cows would be in the Bottom. With a smaller farm that makes sense. Really nice place though. Thanks for sharing it Beau.
The weird thing at 4:17 is not uncommon in really old barns and outbuildings as a support. Those have a name, which eludes me at the moment. The sticks are a dead giveaway for what the barn was used for last. It's very interesting. I wish we knew more.
I was thinking tobacco as well.The wood stakes.Yep, squatch crashes there at night, I think.Nice shelter out of the elements. Something to think about Chig!🤔Hmmm.....Possible ,European flavor of construction.Thank you sir, on taking us on your journey to the Shenandoah, valley! Pretty cool!
Those are tobacco sticks and the barn was used as a tobacco barn. We have them all around my place here in Ohio. Those tobacco sticks make good tomato stakes
The old architecture student in me is seeing an old barn to new home conversion! This would make a really neat home. I have seen other people turn similar buildings around with just one tool. It only takes a wallet.
A few years back my dad and I took down an old barn (circa 1840s) for a neighbor that had fallen in to disrepair and was in danger of falling out into a county roadway. We tried to conserve as much of it as possible. We had several stacks of nice barn lumber, wooden joining spikes, square nails by the bucket, etc. that we gave to a friend of ours that builds furniture, doors, etc. As far as I know, he's still using those old boards, spikes and nails in his projects. It was about the best we could do to save some history given the circumstances.
Love the old tongue and grove it’s old and made well my great uncle lived on a farm the barn was built in 1909 very big barn he lived to be 99 years old his father built the place back when things was made to last
Well in my option (not worth much as far as eastern architecture goes) I think originally that was a 1600’s wheat or corn plantation house that was eventually converted into a tobacco barn. you can see where they enlarged the door area with new tucking to make it bigger. But I reckon we will never know eh? Great video looking forward to part 2 thanks for sharing see you on the next one 👍🏼👊🏼
Love these old buildings, used to work on them in my younger years, always loved the way they built things in the days without all the power tools we have today 😊 HH and take care 🙂
that is a tobacco barn and still has the wooden stakes laying round and the poles to dry the tobacco on. That barn was packed with hanging tobacco even the upper loft thats why the added support. At one time that was a huge thriving farm with many workers and bunk house for them .
The barn looks like at some point was used for tobacco drying. My family had tobacco barns in Caroline County Virginia then moved to just above Grayson Kentucky 7 miles to Hopewell and raised tobacco in 1840s.
Yep tobacco barn for drying tobacco. The smaller area makes it dry better. If it were large it would take twice as long to dry out. Have several here on the farm.
I think it was a tobacco barn, the truss, unusual but reminds me somehow of a Quaker design. Shame it was a bute back in the day. Love the old stonework!
Whoa, this is some wild stuff! The history and mystery behind that old barn is fascinating. But you know what's even more fascinating? The sinister forces that could be at play here. I mean, think about it. Why is this barn abandoned? Could it be because of some dark secret the previous owners were trying to keep hidden? And what about the strange symbols etched into the walls? Could they be the markings of a cult or secret society? But it doesn't stop there. Look at the surrounding area. The vast wilderness of the Shenandoah Valley. It's beautiful, sure, but it's also a prime location for wealthy and powerful people to build secret hideaways. Who knows what kind of nefarious activities they could be up to? And let's not forget about the potential dangers that lurk in those woods. The bears in that area are no joke. Powerful, grizzly beasts with a taste for flesh. And don't even get me started on the possibility of encountering a Sasquatch. Who knows what kind of knowledge or secrets they could hold? I'm telling you, there's more to this than meets the eye. We need to investigate further and uncover the truth. Who's with me?
We don't have grizz in the Valley. Plus, anyone planting tobacco and working it up had NO time, energy, money for such shenanigans. But, you get points for an active imagination. : )
@@crowznest438 Well now, let me tell you a story about the time ol' Jedediah Johnson claimed he saw a grizzly bear in the Shenandoah valley. Jedediah was a tobacco farmer, and he had just finished up a long day of workin' the fields. He was headin' back to his cabin when he heard a rustlin' in the bushes. Thinking it was just a pesky raccoon or fox, he paid it no mind and kept on walking. But then, out of the bushes came the biggest, meanest lookin' bear Jedediah had ever seen. Now, Jedediah knew that there weren't supposed to be any grizzly bears in the valley, but there was no mistakin' what he was seein' right in front of him. The bear was snarlin' and droolin', and Jedediah knew he was in a heap of trouble. But Jedediah was a tough old bird, and he wasn't about to let no grizzly bear scare him off his own land. He reached down and grabbed a stalk of tobacco from the ground and held it up in front of him like a sword. The bear charged at Jedediah, but he swung that tobacco stalk like a mighty club and hit the bear square on the nose. The bear stumbled back, dazed and confused. Jedediah took that opportunity to make a run for it back to his cabin. When he got there, he told all his neighbors what had happened, but nobody believed him. They all said there ain't no grizzly bears in the valley, and besides, nobody who works the tobacco fields has time for such shenanigans. But Jedediah knew what he had seen, and he swore he'd never forget it as long as he lived. So you see, friend, even though most folks say there ain't no grizzly bears in the Shenandoah valley, there's always the chance that ol' Jedediah might have just had a run-in with one. And as for not having time for shenanigans, well, sometimes a man's gotta do what he's gotta do to protect his land and his livelihood.
That design looks like Dutch because of the beams inside and the wedge in the center that had you puzzled for a bit I used to work with the amish when I was 14 till I was 17 and joined the army and the barns and smaller barns looked just like this.
@@aquachigger I was raised in Iowa an the Amish I worked for they spoke a German Dutch dialect because his girls would get in trouble because they would be staring at me when they were supposed to be working . I'm not sure if they WERE FROM the same unless all amish are I'm 64 now and this was a long time ago I did help in the saw mill many times especially around the 10 horse steam engine.
Interesting video, indeed. The exploration of abandoned buildings is a fascinating and somewhat eerie endeavor that allows us to glimpse into the past and appreciate the passage of time. However, we must also be careful not to romanticize the past and ignore the darker aspects of history. The accumulation of wealth and power can lead to corruption and exploitation, and we must remain vigilant against such tendencies. Furthermore, I can't help but feel a sense of paranoia when watching this video. The dilapidated state of the barn and the sense of abandonment remind me of the fragility of our civilization and the potential for societal collapse. We must work to maintain and improve our institutions and ensure the stability and prosperity of future generations. Overall, a thought-provoking video that touches on important themes and raises important questions about our past, present, and future.
Lived on a hippie farm in Virgina in the early 1970's, we'd go around a get permission to collect old barn wood from abandon barns that were falling down, we'd sell it to the "city folk", it was very profitable. Also hit the family dumps for old bottles, still have my favorite find today sitting on my shelf. A beautiful hand-blown spice bottle. Never thought to look for civil war stuff, wish I had.
@ around 8:30, you mentioned earlier that you think it was built from salvaged material, with that in mind and speaking as a carpenter, i'm betting that the post was not long enough in the first place, so why not fill the gap while adding header support to an already long span...............oh, and those nicely angled cutaway's were done by hand with a rip saw..........can you imagine doing that yourself??.......
It's like the anti- barn lol compared to that magnificent European style barn that you highlighted in a tour about a year ago. Reminds me of Gary Larson's hilarious old comic picture about a dyslexic spider trying to make a web . lol. I am dyslexic myself so I guess I can make that comment. Just in general something is just off somehow. 1920s, eh? that's the era I thought of when I first saw the shed. You have probably called it, Chig- this was all repurposed out of neccesity- that would be in the depression, right?
Do you happen to live in harpers ferry or near Loudoun county? I grew up in that area and have been following your adventures for the past (almost decade) but most of the wooded areas you explore are very familiar to me.
That is an really odd barn , I agree probably repurposed from other building really old wood & newer wood ,pegs and round nails of course the round nails could date to late 1880's. Or more modern maybe 20's or 30's.
It's a barn but that's not a Barn Owl, you are right, it is an Eastern Screech Owl. They are different than the Western Screech owls around where I live. They also whinny like a horse too! It's all stretched up tall thinking you won't see it. Kind of looked like a Long-Eared Owl to me for a second till you zoomed in. Long Eared's stretch tall like that too.
Yeah, along with the Pennzoil barrels, there was some neat old auto related stuff in there, he tends to skip over old car / truck stuff as it's not his thing, too bad really.
Not German. They would have combined living space behind the small front door with stable behind and barn above. I've seen this kind of standalone stables in the middle of Italy. But doesn't look like a hay stack. In Italy they grow tobacco too in that area and dry the leaves in such weird wooden constructions. The very old ruins look like that.Timeframe from around 1750, could fit with the weathering too. Havent visited older ones, i'm sure you can find 1500s too, but maybe not in earthquake area, because of re-use. The newer tobacco drying buildings from 1900 are towers. But i have only visited ruins, can't tell, how to use this construction. Looks like a mule stable to me behind the smaller door - would fit well 2 mules with the crib and the spacing.
What I find strange about the barn is that it didn't seem to have a trap door to the stable area. Been in a lot of barns - never seen one without a trap door.
Hi Chig, that's a tobaccos barn. We have them all over down here in Ohio/Kentucky. All those sticks are for staking tobaccos and the weird placement of different beams was mainly for attaching tobaccos to dry. Lovely old thing she is. The door with the matching slots was for a brace for a ladder. It's how the "monkeys" got to the rafters.
Thank you for truth sir,,
Saw all those Priming, or Curing Sticks and knew exactly what that was too!
Really Beautiful Barn! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
I was thinking the same, but no vent windows. There should be another level of stringers too maybe. Strange building.
@@robertreese2600 If I am "reading" the farm correctly , this would had been the utility barn that housed overflow of tobaccos along with the specialist equipment.

It looks like tobacco shed.
Chigg/Beau, I enjoyed your explore of that old homestead. The way they built those old structures is super interesting to me. Glad you brought us along.
Tobacco barn. Animals below with the mangers. Their heat created draft. Large equipment door.
This looks like a barn off the highway that I used to see on my drive down to SC!
I really like the tours you give through old abandoned buildings. The Shenandoah valley was the breadbasket of the confederacy up until about 1864 when it was pretty much controlled by federal troops under General Franz Siegel.
It was actually Gen. Sheridan that finally took complete control of The Valley toward the end.
Love your work!! Always so knowledgeable! What a beautiful old barn! They don’t build them like they used too! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for watching!
@@aquachigger idk if you've checked out his channel, he is a urban explorer and has some awesome finds.
Good afternoon from Southeast South Dakota
Good evening.
Loved it
The whole Shenandoah Valley was such a swirling battle field. All the old places around there must have stories to tell.
Worked repairing an old barn once back in the seventies in Crofton Maryland from 1887. It had an old spring house with a creek running through it. This was really good Chigg, thanks.

Tobacco barn. They used the sticks to hang tobacco on those beams. Some beams are missing.
Really superb owl, sir
lol... well, a sensible chuckle anyway.
Good evening from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your adventures
Good evening from Clay NY.
I like this new video format, seeing these old buildings.
That owl is so cute 🦉
Long Eared Owl 🙂

this is so much fun!!!! cant wait to next part watching with my toddler,lol
Awesome day chigger love the history of your videos 👍🙏
Good vedio I like the 🦉👍
those old tires and wheels and the chemical/ oil drums are super cool
oh hello red tail hawk ! I hear you! I love hawks! ....oh my gosh those mud daubers are diabolical thats crazy . Never heard about them before!
Those are tobacco sticks and the barn was used as a tobacco barn. We have them all around my place here in Ohio.
Those tobacco sticks make good tomato stakes
Cool exploring vid. Love exploring the old places
The old architecture student in me is seeing an old barn to new home conversion! This would make a really neat home. I have seen other people turn similar buildings around with just one tool. It only takes a wallet.
This barn is similar to some in the Midwest where settlers build stone houses into a hill and later the house is converted to a barn.
I was thinking the same thing. That they built lower structure first and lived in it for a time.
A few years back my dad and I took down an old barn (circa 1840s) for a neighbor that had fallen in to disrepair and was in danger of falling out into a county roadway. We tried to conserve as much of it as possible. We had several stacks of nice barn lumber, wooden joining spikes, square nails by the bucket, etc. that we gave to a friend of ours that builds furniture, doors, etc. As far as I know, he's still using those old boards, spikes and nails in his projects.

Yep, I wish that happened more than it does. Too many times it just ends up as compost.
Love the old tongue and grove it’s old and made well my great uncle lived on a farm the barn was built in 1909 very big barn he lived to be 99 years old his father built the place back when things was made to last
Cool old buildings!!
It is a tobacco Barn they hung tobacco on the sticks that's laying in the floor on the cross beams in the ceiling
Awesome
Awesome. Thanks.
Interesting place!
Love these types of videos Chigg. I always do the same when i come across old abandon places. Fascinating.
Hey Chigg and Matt
That advertising tin with the lid was $$$

Thanks for the video chigg your videos inspire me 😀👍
Happy to hear that.

What beautiful countryside and OWL!
Thank you for taking us along on another great adventure 👍
Chigg that is a tobacco drying barn. I have seen them all over North Carolina.
Love the tour of the buildings. I bet they were awesome back in the day.👍😀
Really cool old barn and shed cant wait till you show us the house. Just love old houses.
It appears as if someone was trying to work on the barn,tarps and such. Fun video
Real cool old barns. Thanks from. Sc
Maybe tobacco barn? We have them everywhere in Kentucky they look similar
Great video Chigg as always buddy GOD BLESS
Wow what a cool place! Thank you, can't wait to see the house!:)
that is a tobacco barn and still has the wooden stakes laying round and the poles to dry the tobacco on. That barn was packed with hanging tobacco even the upper loft thats why the added support. At one time that was a huge thriving farm with many workers and bunk house for them .
I love you architecture vids. What a cool old place, and can't wait for the vid on the house.
Thanks Chigg 🤘😎 I’d like to hear more on gate theft.
That's an old tobacco barn Chigg. All over the South. Them sticks stacked in it is what the hung the tobacco on.
Cool adventure. Thank you for the video.
it is a dry shed for tobacco leaves. in saxony germany there are still a lot of these types of dry sheds
Hello from a Mountaineer who relocated to Kentucky.
we get those mud daubers out here in az to I've had one the size of a baseball on a BBQ wheel
Would’ve liked to see that box of bottles and jars, thanks for the video.
the strangely shaped wooden beam was once one of the support of the carver where they cut the tobacco into strips
The barn looks like at some point was used for tobacco drying. My family had tobacco barns in Caroline County Virginia then moved to just above Grayson Kentucky 7 miles to Hopewell and raised tobacco in 1840s.
Yep tobacco barn for drying tobacco. The smaller area makes it dry better. If it were large it would take twice as long to dry out. Have several here on the farm.
Hey chigg where can I get one of your caps love the look of it.
I enjoy your content keep them coming.
I think it was a tobacco barn, the truss, unusual but reminds me somehow of a Quaker design. Shame it was a bute back in the day. Love the old stonework!
Reading the posts can be fun to see if people know what something is. Most seem to agree the barn was for drying tobacco.
You are hilarious 😀
Yep that’s a Tabbaco Barn
Excellent content Chigg
them are tobbaco stakes for dryong the tobacco

The first thing that hit me was Finland for the construction. Could be wrong lol
Eastern Screech Owl - Red Morph variety.
Tobacco barns had slatted sides I thought?

How do you know who to talk to about going into the property??
There are maps on-line that list who owns the land pretty much everywhere in the US.
Tawney owl 🦉
How do we get a copy of the song at the end of the video?
Anyone catch the Model A spoke rim , and tire ??
Yeah, along with the Pennzoil barrels, there was some neat old auto related stuff in there, he tends to skip over old car / truck stuff as it's not his thing, too bad really.
Those are tobacco sticks to hang tobacco with

Those stakes are for hanging tobacco.
