LOG CABIN FOUND! 200 YEARS OF HISTORY EXPLORED IN THE MYSTERIOUS COVE BASIN! (Exclusive Access)

- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- In this Adventures into History video, we journey deep into the Cove district of Meriwether County, Georgia, to uncover the rich and mysterious history of this unique region. Known as “The Cove,” this area along the western banks of the Flint River is believed to be the impact site of a massive meteorite millions of years ago, creating a striking topographic anomaly that has influenced both the natural landscape and human history.
In this episode, I’m joined by Roland Brown, a Cove historian with deep roots tracing back to the very first settlers of the area, and Steve Melton, another descendant of The Cove. Together, we explore early settlement houses, old cemeteries, and the hidden history of a place where people have historically kept to themselves. Join us as we gain exclusive access to the stories and secrets of The Cove-a place where history lives on, quietly nestled in the rugged beauty of Pine Mountain and Oak Mountain, forming a picturesque basin that has remained largely unchanged for generations.
Stay tuned for part 2 of our epic journey into the Cove!

Good to see Mr. Dan again.
What a treasure Mr. Brown is!!! Thank you to him and Mr. Melton for sharing their family history.
I agree.
This is totally cool, Robert, that Mr. Brown and his wife live in his family's ancestral cabin that wasn't taken out by the Civil War and remains on its original land! What a treasure this man and his family are! I pray that the book of records that he was reading from somehow stays intact as it is truly a wealth of knowledge about the Cove. Can't wait for Part 2!
I love the way that gentleman speaks! So great to hear someone speak with respect, reverence and accent.
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you to the gentlemen for telling the stories of their families and the history of that area. I never get tired of the old stories and seeing actual old buildings where the history of the people happened. It's so important to write down things as they happen for future generations to know about. I think it was common for most families to have many children. Especially if the first wife died and the man got married again. Thank you, Robert for this great video. Can't wait for part 2.
Love the history❤
I could watch these all day.
I love listening to "old timers" talk about the old days...keeping folks' memories alive. You know Mr. Brown was in hog heaven talking to y'all! Great work, Robert.
Roland Brown is a Cove treasure.
Thank you for keeping our Georgia history alive through these videos!
Exceptional in content and family history! So few people know all the details of their beginnings. The whole area is beautiful. The Cove is really unusual. Amazing details, more learning of places and times. You always do it so well, Robert. It is so like my own heritage in southeastern Kentucky. As my folks would say, "It's been many a year since I've heared (heard) tell of a room that travelers was welcome to stay the night, and that sort of lock, seen them many a time. Feeding folks that you had no idee (idea) bout, never had their acquaintance, but they is all welcome." I am quoting straight out of the vernacular of SE KY, with love and respect, I sure miss it. Such a great house, so like one of my own old farm place. And so many children, but you know it was common place then, my great grandmother said that they had to furnish their own farm hands, and they sure did. I could go on and on, just know it is a wonderful video, Robert. Excellent sound, shooting and content! ❣👍❣👍
Thank you for saving the historical buildings and cemeteries.
It's amazing how well this family has kept the names and places of their ancestors alive. That's a great honor to both the ancestors and their descendants especially since on this channel you come across so many lonely fieldstones marking the graves of the unknown.
SO HAPPY to see Dan!!! I have missed you and your amazing knowledge.
Super awesome video! I’m 71 and I wish I could remember names and dates like this man. He’s awesome! I really enjoyed your video Robert. Thanks
Tell Mr Dan, he ain't the only one. I still have to pull back my hand to keep from wavin'.
I always get a twinge of nostalgia with these old homesites. Makes me miss those days. Even tho it wasn't easy and they worked hard, they didn't know anything else. That's just what you did. I'd love to be a fly on a wall and see how they spent their days.
Loved the well, that draws water even today!☺️
Anyway, I loved every part of this video. The grave houses are fantastic. So well kept up. I love that there are even photos. A lot of tender loving care goes into the restoration and preservation of these marvelous sites.☺️
Great to see Dan again! Looking forward to the series. Thanks!
Love hearing the older man talking. Awesome
This was the best video I could watch and listen to these men tell all about the history here. I think this area called the cove is the most beautiful area in Georgia.
Fabulous seeing people that still have command of such detailed information on their family history.
It is also wonderful seeing History Man Dan out and about!
THIS VID IS PRICELESS, WHAT A PLEASURE TO SEE HOW THESE GOOD PEOPLE LIVED BACK THEN. THANKS FOR preserving history.
Thank you for this wonderful bit of American history.
So interesting. I love ❤️ listening to those old timers explaining how things were. 😊
I love this history. Being from nearby Manchester we rode through the Cove many times and still do take the scenic route through the Cove occasionally. I've always wondered about this house. History is soon forgotten if we don't cherish the memories of the older generations. I really appreciate this channel and the work you do, and I love to see Dan on. My paw paw, James Brawner often talked about living next door to Roland Brown on North St in Manchester. Cool to finally see a face.
An absolutely fascinating story about the early settlers and their families.
That’s just amazing with the history I would love to be able to just sit in the house with my eyes closed and listen quietly. The stories that would be gently whispering in your ear. Thank you for sharing
You know some amazing people! So much knowledge and such interesting stories. I love seeing the grave houses, and how wonderful that they are so beautifully kept! This is such a well-done video. Thank you for sharing!
What an absolute pleasure to watch, and so much historical information. Thank you so much for taking the time to share.
Can hardly wait for part 2
Loves this
What a FANTASTIC video...cant wait for part 2.
Thank you, Robert, for this wonderful video! I enjoyed every minute! We appreciate you!
Robert love and enjoy your videos. May the lord bless and protect you Robert and Dan bringing out the past history
Oh Mr. Dan. I am so happy to see you back with Robert doing videos again. This one was truly fascinating. Thank you guys.
SO HAPPY TO SEE DAN BACK!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!! He makes it awesome! 👏
Mr, Roland Brown is a walking book of knowledge. I pray Mr. Brown will be around a lot longer as well as Mr. Dan. Thanks to everyone that contributed to making this wonderful video, I love it.
Love hearing all about the history of these areas. Keep the stories coming!
Awesome historical video that is priceless! It so very nice how he has maintained and respected his ancestors so well. They are without doubt proud of him!
Looking forward to part 2 very interesting.. Thank you
I could sit listen to the elders about how it was back in the day for hours. I love hearing the history on the town i was born raised and still live currently. My mom's family growing up here also & makes it more exciting my grandfather was a firefighter here back in the 40s-60s & some people still remember him lol my grandfather's sisters were nuns at the church here that just about everyone in my family was baptized married, funerals were held. I just love hearing that history of my town Brookline Massachusetts 👏👏👏
Such a fun video! Enjoyed hearing the stories.
Wow! I totally enjoyed this video.Dan thank you for mentioning the Native Americans when they were living and growing in the area.
Awww….Dan and Joy my two favorites…of course after you Robert 😁😁
Such knowledge on that area and family history! It's good to see Dan again! Amazing!!
Love listening to Mr Dan..ty
I love videos like this. Hearing the stories, seeing the family place, and visiting the family cemeteries really takes u back in time. Looking forward to part 2😊
Great family history & how it ties into the history of Georgia!! Your content is amazing. I can sit & watch for hours!!
Fascinating! Living history!
Thank you Roland and Steve for allowing us to take a look into your history, what a privilege. Certainly understand why you would keep it private but it is good to document your knowledge of this place. You're very fortunate that decendants have not sold off the land. Looks like a little slice of heaven.
How lucky to have people with such knowledge. Love this one. Looking forward to seeing the continuation. 🌻
Really enjoyed this video- Great Cove History🎉
This is so amazing to see a family preserve an awesome piece of history. I really enjoyed this . To know that the natives were also farming cash crops. I font believe I have ever seen such unique graves with the cabins on them and so well cared for. Keep Safe❤Keep Well❤
I love this video I love history and I am glad to see Dan
You make some very entertaining videos Mr Dan makes them exceptionally entertaining
That was a very very interesting video of past history from that area of Georgia!
Thank you for sharing 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
That was awesome. It is very interesting to hear from the descendants of the original settlers. Living history. Thank you for taking us on this journey. I love Mr Dan's walking stick
Wow! I loved this video. Looking forward to more! Thanks to all! ❤
Dan mentioned "Cleebit" Springs - that's only the 2nd time I've heard that pronunciation of chalybeate (a mineral salt) & that was in South-Central Kentucky where my late hubby grew up. Really enjoyed this episode!! So impressed that so much family info from the Cove has been preserved! Thanks!!
This was a great video. I love history. Thank you gentlemen for sharing your family stories. I enjoyed this history much.
Fantastic Robert! Thank you
Great history lesson. Love how families stuck together back in those times and took care of each other even after death with some of those covered and protected grave houses.
Wow this was interesting & is gonna b a great "series". Thnx to the gentlemen too who gave us the tour & history. Luved this.👍🏼😊
Oh my very goodness gracious!

Amazing, I’ve never seen graves with houses over them.
What a gentleman full of memories. I enjoyed this video very much. My grandmother told me things to this day I remembered. I was very blessed to have listened to her. Wonder history of those beautiful log homes to be treasured. I will looking for part 2.

Hi from the Uk😊Very interesting channel ❤
This was an awesome video Robert. I really enjoyed all of the history. Loved it! Keep up the great work your doing documenting all of the history for future generations.
Thanks for sharing Robert!
Oh my goodness I love this so much and you know we lived in Lagrange for years and did not know this. God bless all of you 🙏❤️
I’ve been fascinated with the cove for years so thanks for sharing this local history. I was pretty convinced it was an impact crater but I guess I was wrong
Thanks! I am pretty convinced it is an impact crater
Okay hmmm I’m glad we agree! I was discouraged to hear the local man say he didn’t think so. Since you actually spoke with both men, I’ll take your word for it. 😊
So cool to hear the stories and see that history. Amazing the old house is still standing after all these years, has a great caretaker!
This is a great video. I love hearing about historical things and people and their homes and their families from days gone by.
I love this. I can trace my ancestors to England and Sweden. My immediate last 2 generations are only here in Utah.
This is really good content, thank you for this 😊❤
Fascinating !!!! What a wealth of knowledge of that area
This is so fascinating! I love hearing the details of the history. I cannot wait for part two. Robert thank you for putting this out for everyone to enjoy
Really great please come back and talk to them again
So fascinating! Love history and talking about our ancestors (I don’t think any of these are mine), but still the same. Hugs and love y’all from Texas!
Thank so much Robert! What a wonderful video and such a joy to listen to this man!!! So many things are getting lost these days, it’s refreshing to hear from the Old Timers!!😊❤😊
Aloha 🌺 Amazing! Looking forward Part 2! Aloha 🌺 Gentlemen!🥰
Robert, your videos are always so very interesting.
cant wait for part 2! Thanks for all the interesting stuff y'all post
This was a great video, thank you
❤❤❤ Wonderful video, history, and information! ❤❤❤
What incredible history past on in doing this video.. and was a amazing cabin.. I really liked the sliding wooden window upstairs of the cabin.. hearing the sound of the bucket lowering down turning that handle was awesome 😊.. I watched n thought,how many had actually drawn water.. liked the ole cemetery, just sad that lot graves with no headstone.. seems folks are lost without one.. thanks for sharing this
I loved the old bucket!
I’m feeling sad thinking about the natives who already lived there and what could possibly been happening to them 😢
But I thank you for your story and I love your channels ❤
Now Robert, that was loads of fun. Good stories to hear and enjoy.
I love this, can't wait for the rest of the story!
Wow!, what some first hand history. Great video yall👍
This is the sweetest man ever!!!! He is precious that he takes care of all of that. One of a kind.🩷🩷🩷🩷
Very, very interesting. I'm assuming that the first settlers lived near or among the Indians before the removal in the 1830's.
Thank you very much for sharing this. And I salute the man for being able to keep up with all of the history of these families. ❤
Thank you so much for this video. I'm anxious to see the rest.
Joy it sure is nice to see your Beautiful face again. I haven't seen you in awhile, hopefully we'll see more of you in part 2. I always enjoy seeing you and hearing the stories you tell. You really need to have your own RUclips channel. I know i would definitely watch it.
👋🏻 I much prefer being behind the camera, but maybe, if I’m lucky, Robert will continue to let me show up in a few videos here and there. It’s always a fun time getting to be a part of it all!
I love these type of history.wonderful I can't wait until Parr 2❤🎉
This is some rich history!! Love it
Pretty cool piece of history
