Didn't know Trump was more than a name .
That’s very interesting - I didn’t realize they had this museum; it just gives me a reason to visit again.
The “Leitz” camera is pronounced “Lights” and “Leica” is “Lie-ka”. The device that looked like a stove is a projector that used a burner for a flame as a light source. That’s why it looks like a stove. Thanks for the tour! Wasn’t aware the museum existed. Now have to do a road trip!! My great grandfather was a professional photographer in Halifax, VA. In the 1800s.
Amazing work! Now I will be well acquainted with sites on a return trip. Such a rich area of history. Thanks much. Bill
Truly Enjoyed This Video! You Taking The Time To Find The 3 Graves, Showing Us The Statues & Teaching People Of Our History With The Actual Pictures Of Those Involved & Little True Stories Has Been Amazing!! I Subscribed & Will Happily View All Of Your Videos!! I'm Disabled & Homebound. Not Able To Personally Go To All Of These Places. Seriously, Thank You So Much For Sharing These Videos With Us All!! I'm In Falmouth, VA!!❤😊
Staunton is one of VA’s nicest town!
I passed the information on this video to some photography friends of mine...hope it gets you some views and subs! I need to check this place out..thanks for posting it
Thanks! Yea it's well worth checking out.
Awesome museum, my granddad liked to take pictures and had a brownie camera! Thanks!
Oh cool. Neat!
Yeah , I am pretty sure he probably taught my mom how to use the camera, too, can tell by who’s in the pictures! I only remember her having the Kodak from the 60s that required the rotating flash cube😂
Neat0 museum ✔️
Very helpful, thanks for making this; information about Old Falmouth is hard to find. I was not aware that the original bridge over the Rappahannock went from the foot of modern day West Cambridge Street in Falmouth over into Fredericksburg. It makes sense, and Green Gordon would not have had its terraces had that not been the case; I just haven't found any documentation about it. Cheers!
Mr Chris…Now I can refer others to see your video! I’m smiling! My little collection of everything… is quite modest… I love the high celinings… the drapery is beautiful! I have an “Evening Garden” where it’s quiet and tranquil should the Chesapeake Bay be overpowering… as it was TODAY at 7 PM…50 mph winds blew over my nice shrubs ready for planting… Ernesto is name…thank T You!
I attended Governor's School back in 1980 at Mary Washington up in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Thanks for the great videos.
This was excellent! A very good job! Thank you!
Thanks for the info. Great way to make a plan before I visit. I really like taking in all the history Va has to offer. Please keep the videos coming.
Hello just ran into your channel and subscribed, thank you for your work to bring us informative videos of beautiful and historical Virginia.
Excellent video packed with lots of information, thanks! 🇺🇸
The item you asked about is an old glass top fuel pump.
This is right by my house. I live just down the road by Ferry Farm. Love this place to just hang out on a nice day. Thanks for the in depth information. Love your stuff.
Thanks!
Heck yeah dude super cool, thanks!! Much appreciated 🙏
More impressive is Richmond's Jefferson Hotel !!!
I like how he displayed the American Flag,… the way it should be displayed,….Stars go on the Right,
Ft Monroe where "secret" nuc weapons are stored according to Nathan Reynolds bloodline family - h blew the whistle on this creepy area
Pathetically, VMI has gone completely woke now and Jackson's statue at the Sallyport to the VMI barracks was torn down.
A lot of men on the island work on tugboats half of the year. The money is much more stable than crabbing.
We love Wolf Creek Indian Village. They are honoring some early indigenous folks before tribes were named. Great place to visit and learn of the folks that were here before the Europeans arrived. Another place close by is Big Walker Lookout a scenic attraction just at the edge of Bland County on U.S. 52.

Another great video.My wife and I are from Michigan and have visited Chatham a couple of times.We are always looking for more great sites in Virginia.I would like to know your top choices of plantations to visit on our next trip.
@@jamesdte91 welcome to VA. Of course Mount Vernon and Monticello. I would go to Charles City where you can visit Berkeley and Shirley plantations, John Tyler‘s Sherwood Forest and Westover. Gunston Hall and Stratford Hall are other good ones in Virginia. Have fun!
@@VATravels Thanks for the tips on sites to visit.We really envy you and the people of Virginia for having so much of this country’s early history in your state.Keep up the good work with the channel!
@@jamesdte91 Thanks!
Did a Civil War reenactment here in December 2012, got to spend the night on the grounds. Once in a lifetime experience!
@@camillereed446 Very cool!
It looks like Tangier Island is wealthier than Smith Island.
The furniture looks like it’s from the late 1900 hundreds turn of the twentieth century. Lovely home
Awesome…enjoyed! Thank you for taking me along and being so knowledgeable 👍🏻‼️

At the 17 minute mark, I saw that you passed my old house we used to live at 3 Essex St. we live on the middle floor on the left-hand side.❤
Philip McIntyre is believed to be a brother of Samuel McIntire. Not proven yet. But Philip McIntyre was captured during the battle of Dunbar (1650)and sent to Work in the Saugus Work as an indentured servant. He is my 10th grade grandfather. I grew up at 83 Essex St. It’s to the left of the Custom House. We used to climb over the Custom House fence because my friend Kristin lived right behind there. We would play on the back lawn area of the Custom House. One night one of the guards caught us playing back there. He said we were fine to play back there as long as we protect the area we were the guards too. We got to roam around Pickering/Derby wharf as kids. We never owned a house. We always rented apartments. Got to play over at the Salem Commons. Used to rollerskate on the basket ball court over there. Went to Camp Naumkeg camp up in the Willows.
Bad choice for background music. Should have had something reflecting the grandness and history of the house and property. After all it is 400+ years of history.
One of the owners of Chatham Manor, Lillian Thomas Pratt, donated her incredible Fabergé collection to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond.
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks!
@@christineruss2630 Thank you so much! Appreciate the support!!
Great video neighbor!
@@christineruss2630 Thanks!!
Beautiful witness tree. Haven't visited in years. Thanks for sharing.
Came for a visit in 1983 when I was 13 years old. We met Cookie & Jack who gave us a tour.
Thanks that was very informative. I haven't been there in at least 5 years but now I'll be putting it my schedule this fall. I remember elementary school field trips there.
That is an old gas pump with underground tank
Not only was she 16 but she was his dead wife's Grandniece! wow
Watching video you saying you live in Fredericksburg how about that I was born Fredericksburg in 60s my father and mother worked at Freelance star news papers so country fredriicksburg back then,then got position Dumfries editor Potomac news 25 pluse yrs. Well interesting VA travels love
I'm going to have to watch this in increments since it's so long. Through your videos I'm learning about the only part of VA I've never been to: the Culpepper, Fredericksburg, Northern Neck areas. Nice video!
Do worry there won't be one this long again for a while. My computer crashed twice trying to make it. lol
@@VATravels Haha. Good video. Drone shots are excellent. Nice part of VA there
Excellent. I wish you could do Mosneck Manor. But I know it's privately owned. So you probably couldn't get in there
I hear sometimes they have Civil War events there. I'm keeping an eye out!
@@VATravels cool thanks
Another great video with your well researched historical information. Thank you. Adding historical photos helps viewers get a better understanding about your subject
Thanks!
Thanks! Awesome video, so much history there, and local knowledge and “ tidbits” only add to it!!
Appreciate it!! The place was worth going the xtra mile for!
@@VATravels You’re welcome!
@@annmcgehee1728 Forgot to mention the faberge eggs. Maybe I'll visit the VA Museum of Fine Arts one day and mention them. lol
@@VATravels No worries, though I doubt you could film inside the museum. However, the grounds of VMFA were once a Confederate veterans camp and the chapel they built is still standing, so you could still visit museum, but maybe do a video on the camp grounds, just a thought…
@@annmcgehee1728 Oh interesting. I'll definitely looking into it.
The first time I visited, it was breathtaking, and I completely "geeked out" in the dining room, wondering what Lincoln's view was during dinner! If you can, visit during all four seasons. It is very picturesque.
