My father grew up in a log cabin and I loved your explanation of how everything was made and how it all worked. I had no idea that there was such a thing as a swinging butter churn. It really is amazing how self-sufficient and inventive people were back then isn't it? They were able to adapt and survive with very few tools or resources; just their hard work and ingenuity. Thanks so much to both of you for such a fantastic video.
Greetings from the UK! I am really enjoying these historical field trips you keep doing. They are so informative and you make them very interesting too with a little bit of humour thrown in. Wishing you both a great weekend.
Thank you for bringing us along on this OUTSTANDING field trip! 🌞 I think the highlight of the whole video is our very knowledgeable tour guide! I could listen to you all day😍 (again, the ASMR thing going on) LOL And, I can hear you LOUD AND CLEAR! My father runs our local grist mill every year. CEDAR CREEK GRIST MILL located in Woodland, Washington State. We've been going there and making apple cider, as well as flour, since I was a kid! Fun times! I would like to think the peek hole was used for protection and as a lookout, but, that's just my imagination running wild! 😂 My family also has been part of the WESTERN ANTIQUE POWERLAND located in Brooks, Oregon where they have put on tractor shows for years. My father was the President of it, and particularly very involved with the steam tractors. STEAM IS KING! 💕 I enjoyed this video, as many of the subject matter hits close to the heart. Thank you! Washington State 🎄
Heidi, we actually went to visit the Cedar Creek Grist Mill one day while driving up I-5! Unfortunately it was closed that day so the best we could do was peek in the windows. We left Seattle in 2018 and never made it back to the mill. I agree...steam is king! More ASMR is on the way for you. :-)
@@1834RestorationHouse Aww, 🤗 I'm so glad you were in "my neck of the woods"! What a small world, eh? Thank you so much for such an amazing historical video❤️
I watched a vid the other day, a tour of the "world's largest urban home". Over 100,000 sq ft. All concrete and glass with "water features". The builder spoke of "sustainability" and "climate change" and "organic". The "home" was obscene. This little village is much closer to my style. My husband tells about watching his granny using her spinning wheel in Tennessee when he was growing up. She had a cabin that would've fit right in there. What a beautiful place; thanks for sharing it!
Thank you soooooo much for another amazing field trip! I enjoyed it from start to finish. You did a great job explaining everything and you lovely wife did a great job of filming the video. It was almost like being there in person. You both are wonderful people. World needs more people like you both. Be safe in your travels.🙏😀👍🙋♀️
Well, THIS was a whole lot of fun to watch! We're very fortunate, we have an original water driven flour mill nearby that has been in continuous operation since 1819. Arva Flour Mill, Arva Ontario. The flour they put out is second to none! Don't know if you noticed, but behind the second grinder were a few fabulous handmade brooms. Really beautiful. Always enjoy coming along with you guys on these adventures. The effort is very much appreciated, thank you! Marian 🇨🇦
Now you've gone and reminded me that I haven't watched any blacksmithing videos in quite a while. I took an intro to blacksmithing class a few years ago. I went home with a descent looking three hook wall rack, and about a pound of coal dust in my hair. If I ever come across a good anvil at a good price I might be tempted to attempt setting up a small forge at home. I already have a hand-cranked blower.
If you tie the warp threads to the heddles, you won't be able to do much weaving. :-) The warp threads pass through the heddles. I'd love to have a floor loom some day. I have a rigid heddle loom at the moment.
Great teamwork! Mr Restoration House makes a great docent and Mrs RH is an excellent camerawoman. I did miss seeing her smiling face, though! Can’t wait to hear the big doings y’all hinted at that are coming soon!
Great tour, you could definitely be a docent. Your delivery is peppered with fun facts and humor which facilitate learning. BTW: What are you and your wife's names, not sure if I ever caught them.
Incredibly interesting!
Thank you so much , it was really cool!!
Great video. Getting to see that grist mill was a nice suprise!
Thanks for sharing
This is so very interesting. I feel like I've had a history lesson. You are a good teacher.
Thank you!
Great Job on this video ! Really liked this one ! Nice job on talking about and sharing all the info and history of this mill! Really neat !
We're glad you enjoyed it! Some day we might get some video of the mill in operation.

White Lighting, shhhh Moonshine 😂 no doubt you made this historic site fun and kept me interested; you have a gift. Thanks for sharing with America 🙏🏼

The "greenest" home is the one that is already built. It's interesting that 200 year old cabins are still standing and could be lived in.
Always informative, interesting and fun. You would make a great teacher. Better than any I ever had.
Wow, thanks!

Thank you for watching! There are so many details in places like this that it's easy miss things.
Oh wow already gave a thumbs up I love these adventures
Yay! Thank you!
I just now found your video and it is so late here on the west coast right now. So far I love your video and will finish it tomorrow.
Awesome! Thank you!

That is awesome. It's always fun to watch iron being worked into something useful.
I rode by this historical site just yesterday! We were pulling a camper so we didn't stop. Thanks for the tour! That's a beautiful area of the south.
Very nice video! Great job!
We're glad to have you here.
Nice voice for narration. Very enjoyable video! Thank you much!
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I would have loved to have you as my history teacher.
You both should make a separate history channel. You make it so interesting. Great filming.
Maybe one day! Thank you for the kind words!

These machines scare me.....

All will be revealed soon! :-)
Have you been to the Ninety-Six National Park Site? Beautiful place with some great frontier history.
Not yet but we're always open to suggestions. Thanks!
Didn't they also put wood ash in the chinking or is that a northern thing?
Need better lighting please.
Can we include the slave history I’m sure they helped make all of those things as well as used them way more than the people who owned the land
We try to touch on history whenever we can but the focus was on historic buildings, which is our core mission. Thanks for watching!
