It really makes me long for an ancestral home to return to and learn stories/history of my back then family. But alas, there is no ancestral home for me to go to! :((
Great story here. I'd like to thank y'all for these wonderful videos that you do on these old mountain homes. You are allowing me to experience something I've often wanted to do and that is visit these grand old places. The videos are very educational and heartwarming. Love hearing the different people tell their stories !
So many memories just came flooding back into my mind. You guys did a terrific job telling the story of this house, the shot from the 1990's was a perfect ending. Great work!
I think youre on to something with this content. Its different. Fascinating. As long as there are stories that go with the footage. Having someone that lived there saying, "I was born in this room". or "My Grand Father would sit in a chair right here and play his fiddle." Oh I love it! Im hooked. But how do you find these places with the people that know? Don't tell me, just keep doing it.
I grew up on two small farms and as a teenage girl, I learned to cook food on a wood stove, using cast iron pots and pans and making delicious food. Yes, it does make a difference as tp what heat you use!
Happy to find this channel. I spent summers on my grandparent’s farm in Sampson County, NC. We spent time picking and shelling field (snap) peas, string beans and butter beans. Also chopping cotton. Fun times for a kid from NJ.
Hmmm. The Stranahan house in Ft. Lauderdale, FL has the blue ceiling on their porches and when touring the house they say that it was painted blue to keep bees or other boreing bugs from ruining the wood. The belief was if it looked the color of the sky they wouldn't bore in to it.
10:00 A “mess of beans”. Makes me chuckle because I’m a city girl. When I met and married my husband, whose kinfolk came from the hills of Virginia, I wanted a special green bean recipe his mother made so well. She told me I needed a mess of beans. Well, I had never heard that term, and they had quite a difficult time explaining exactly what that meant.
I bought a 1857 house! It had been stripped and destroyed 😢. My wife and I rebuilt a 5000sqft. Home ugliness house in neighborhood. We bought $19,000. Into $509,000. Best home on😅 street.

I always heard the porch ceilings were painted blue to keep wasps and bees from building nests. They thought it was the sky when it was painted blue.
Beautiful thank you for sharing

Blue porch ceilings also keep wasps from nesting
She walked in love!
11:05 That blue color is also used to keep wasps away.
