No Mc Donald's in that joint
Thank you. We've been there. The fort is surprisingly small. Would hate to have had to defend it. According to the museum, Washington did everything according to battle tactics of the day, but it just wasn't enough. The surrounding woods are really nice for a walk.
Enjoyed this. Reminds me of the Hampden-Sydney landscape when Dad took us there for football games. If you are related to Taylors in that area you may want to look into Creede Taylor. He opened Needham Law School in the county, one of the first in the country.
Thanks. Hmm, i’ll have to ask my parents.
My paternal g-g-g-grandfather, who appeared mysteriously in SW VA from who knows where, was, by family legend, Creed Taylor’s adopted nephew. I found an old VA Cavalcade magazine in the R’noke City Library VA Room that had an article stating his adopted nephew became a prominent lawyer in Richmond. So much for family stories that try to elevate people into higher societal stratospheres 🤣
I bet that school was impressive when it was built
Your face has fear...were you sneaking? 😂😂😂😂
I have been to Berkeley a handful of times. This place calls me. I have to say this is the best tour I have had yet! Thank you so much.
This video was so much fun! I love family history stories. You have good Virginia ancestry! I love it there in P.E. county and Appomattox county area.. Very pretty and people are so nice. 👍🏁💯
Thanks!!
Dads got a great Virginia drawl
It’s just crazy to think about how your stepping on the lost colony.
Nice seeing your families hometown, Chris. Makes it a bit more special.
Thank you
I am sure your family is very glad these memories have been preserved! Awesome drone footage, and listening to your dad always reminds me of my dad, great storyteller!!
Appreciate it! Yea it's nice having those stories preserved.
Thanks for sharing this video my brother lives in hampton virginia. Its so pretty & peaceful in this video
Rice, Va has a population of 2,547. Didn't think it was that big. Enjoyed the tour of your generational hometown.
Yea, surprised there are that many people. Thanks
So you got roots in Prince Edward Co, cool. Those family homes were really lovely, so were the churches. I like your dad's accent, too. Is that a Southside VA accent cuz it almost sounds like a Tidewater accent to my ears, but what do I know - just trying to learn. Cute little town♥
Not Tidewater.
@@hw260 Yea the South Central part of VA. That's how they all sound out there. Thanks!
I agree! It's very Tidewater. I'm currently living in that part of Virginia and all the natives here talk like that. I love it
We can’t keep up
Trying to do 2 a week. lol
Should title be Tour of Rice ?
Whoop, thanks for letting me know!
Thanx for including the map at the start that’s really helpful for us Ausies. Cheers mate.
Thanks for watching!
Then people with 19 kids you know they doing a lot of screwing 👌 must have a little bit of rabbit in their blood
Imagine working so hard for things and people expect you to name it after someone else
There is a large Amish community in Prince Edward and Buckingham counties. Please use caution passing buggies. Also, passing them on double line is illegal in Virginia
Now 45 and thanking God, 47.😊
God bless robert e lee!and everyone who fought for the confederacy!
Thanks for the tour !
Another great video! My mom always thought MD was the entrance into Yankee land, lol
Everything above Stafford County in VA is yankee land. lol
@ Haha. One of Hilton Head’s monthly magazines did a get your Southern groove thing on one month a few years back. There was a quiz on how Southern one is. One of the things it stated was that when you entered VA you were in the North. I emailed the editor and said the southern half of VA is Southern. He replied with a word salad answer that being Southern was a state of mind but wouldn’t retract the statement. I then realized I was a Southern Northerner 😂
@ Yea he clearly hasn’t visited Virginia anywhere south of the James River. lol
Thanks! Awesome place, this one was on my bucket list!!
Thank you!! You will be happy you went!
@ Thanks to your great video, I can now cross It off!🤣🤣
@ 😂
What a great place! So much to take in that I'll have to come back a few times. I knew of the Calverts, but never learned much about the settlement. Thanks for a great video👍
Yea great one! You could definitely spend days there.
Awesome video like always
The place is a dump and attracts the MAGA faithful.
The pink marble is Incredible.
Ittt❤
Good stuff! Love your channel
I'm in Virginia! I seen the river it's big!
This video gives a good feel for the place. To be honest, I was expecting to like Trump tower, but it looks outdated and the design language is a confusion of styles. If Trump wants, he can commission me to redesign the place. I will make Trump tower great again 😂
Hurricane took out most of the warfs in the late 20s
Live across the river from there.
I like Trump Tower ❤❤❤
Great shots of the cliffs bro. That was excellent 🤙
Make America Great Again. I want to be there.
God bless your heartstrings Chris. Unreconstructed Virginian from down in Gloucester County Virginia
Are they gonna change the name of that bar from "45" to "47"?
The building I live in is 100 years old this year. (In Port Norfolk, Portsmouth Va an apt building in good shape.
Shame, just before civil war. Hope it can be restored. There’s an Octagon house in DC very close to the White House open to tourists. Thanks for sharing. Great video with history lessons.
The statue at Greensboro nc was pulled down by cowards. The city won't let anyone know where it is. Maybe gone forever
Je suis allé à Fort Rosalie mais j'ai raté le grand village ! I missed... I ought to come back !
I checked on Find a Grave, there’s a short partial list of the soldiers that they knew to be interred there. None of them had markers, probably wooden ones that disintegrated over the years
Ah ok. Thanks for looking that up.
@ You’re welcome!
Very nice
Accent?
As a child, growing up in the 60s, the highlight of the year was our school field trip to the Valentine Museum at Christmas.
Fascinating
Awesome video. I just found your channel today, so I'm not sure if you're still around. Do you happen to have much information on Stafford County history? I've gone looking, but I was told the courthouse was burned down during the civil war, destroying most of the official records. Specifically, I'm looking for information on the gold mining in Stafford County.
@@jerryactrik1901 check out the Gold Miners Camp Museum. Chatham Manor, Government Island and Aquia Church are pretty popular sites in Stafford. Thanks for watching!
@@VATravels I've visited those actually, especially Government Island. I used to work nearby, and I'd go over on my lunch breaks to get some exercise. I've been binging the videos, great stuff! I haven't done a lot of the walking paths in Fredericksburg (aside from Alum Springs) so they've been motivating me to get back out and explore.
