120 Year Old Funeral Home, Stores and More Explored In A Forgotten Town! Junction City Georgia
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- In this episode of Adventures into History, I team up with Mike Buckner to explore the forgotten Georgia town of Junction City. Once a bustling community, Junction City has dwindled over the years, leaving behind just a few remnants of its former vibrancy. Together, we delve into the town's rich history, uncovering stories of its past and the reasons behind its decline.
Our journey takes us inside two of the last remaining buildings from Junction City's heyday: the old funeral home, which was later converted into a grocery store and is now used as storage by Mike, and the historic commissary. These buildings stand as silent witnesses to a time when the town was full of life and activity.
Join us as we walk through these storied structures, peeling back the layers of time to reveal the hidden history of Junction City, Georgia.
Always great to visit with Mr Mike Buckner!

I'd love to see.one.of his gins in action. I have no idea about how they work. Thanks for this
Mr. Mike Buckner is a national treasure. He is full of knowledge and wisdom.
My great grandfather was a carpenter blacksmith embalmer and funeral director. I have his Tennessee Funeral Director’s framed license. He built his own house after dear beloved Bess was struck and killed on the train tracks by his business and house. I learned as a 12 year old that Bess was the family milk cow. None of my grandmother’s or siblings could talk about it without tearing up. 😢
😢
Dan and Mike are such great historians. They need to record their extensive knowledge for future generations
I always like hearing Mike Buckner talk about different places he is so knowledgeable. Would love to hear all the stories he could tell about Georgia.
I agree!
When people like Mr. Buckner and Water Mallard are gone, there will be so much history lost, generations of info in their heads
Mr. Mike has an all time great accent and manner of speaking. Could listen to him talk all day. Fascinating history and interesting old buildings.
Mr Mike is as precious as his memories and the old buildings. Really enjoyed the video🙂
I’d love to see any photographs of this in business back in the day.
Thank you for documenting this old history. Mike Buckner is a great town historian. So many of our old towns have died.
Oh my! I’m pretty sure I have a crush on Mr Buckner! ❤️☺️
Mr Mike and Mr Dan are extremely knowledgeable, and they’re amazing storytellers! I could listen to them all day! 😊
Robert, you've some amazing friends. I hope you know how much pleasure you give us subscribers.
I saw Joy runnin around there. Always a joy to see the beautiful Joy!
I love hearing people who knew a place in its golden days.Mr Mike is very informative and interesting.
Nice to see Mr Buckner again. He's a real wealth of information. He seems to be a real one man band. 😊
This was a very informative video. Thank you! 👍
It's always good to see and hear Mr. Buckner speak of the past. Thanks for showing us this, Robert.
Always a great choice to listen in
I love that man’s accent.
I just love Mike’s accent ❤
It is interesting how the funeral homes were usually part of a family owned variety of businesses back then. Furniture store, real-estate agency, and street names are left behind even 100 years after the funeral home may have closed.
Super interesting. Mike Buckner is great. It all makes me homesick. 👍👍
Nice to see Mr. Buckner giving some history. I love the video of his working mill.
Me too! I'm surprised he isn't deaf from working in the mill.
Thank you Robert and Mr Mike! Very interesting! ❤
I loved this video ❤❤❤❤
I just love Mr Mike's accent. Complete country.
Love it when Mike or Dan are on!!!
Always fun to tag along!
Thank You for sharing, I love the history, Mr Buckner needs to write a book
Oh Robert, what an interesting video!! I love hearing these guys talk about the forgotten times!
So much history, in one man's life. He is definitely a National treasure. thanks Robert and Mr. Buckner, for sharing. Sending love from Kate in Oz.
I remember that old boy , he had a video I watch , he is full of history.
Amazing how recently this town existed and now is almost erased
I liked the old desks and wheels. That cotton gin was amazing - so many parts. I would love to see how it works.
Love hearing about these stories of old. So sad that not many left to tell them😢 If it weren't for all the struggles of the people of that era, we would not be here today.❤
Glad you recorded this for posterity! Lots of knowledge
Who on the planet can restore a cotton gin? Mr.Buckner.
Amazing,Thank you for showing it.
Love the real life stories…
Robert, You sure get some interesting “side step adventures”. Very enjoyable. So respectful to hear these long passed persons names spoken in these explanations of history. 🇺🇸
Love this ❤
Loved this tour and listening to the knowledge Mr. Buckner passed along. Thank you!
I love seeing the old stuff, & love to marvel at what some folks can recall!
Wow it would be great to see these old stores and their contents preserved as a museum. Would hate to see all this later sold, just left to go bad or destroyed. Thanks for sharing!
what a gem of a tour guide. History of old buildings are my interests. I would love to have those archive books just sitting there.....
Wow!! What an amazing story!! I wonder if Mr.Bucker ever seen any ghosts in that building????
I can feel that heat through the screen. 🔥
The funeral home!! Wow! Awesome.
I would love to look through the old record books he had stacked and listen to all the stories
Love this guy, very interesting
This trip has been an absolute joy to watch!! Thank you for taking us along
Mike is fascinating with all the history he knows.
Hi Robert... Love the video❤
Watching from 🏴 UK.👍👏
I truly love these stories. Thank you.
Those buildings looked a whole lot better on the inside than they do from the outside. Well preserved innards! Robert, you must be watching Aventure Archeology! I was impressed with you knowledge of Cherocola and to look as to where the bottle was made! But you have been watching it longer than I have. I had never heard of it or Brandon Nichols until I saw him metal detect at the OBF. I have watched him every since, so thanks for making me aware of him!
Chero-Cola originated here in Columbus (along with Coca-Cola but that’s a discussion for another time) and is always one of my favorite sodas. I’ve collected and dug bottles for years, which led me to Adventure Archeology early in my UA-cam days. Was super excited when he came to the farm and I need to get him back down this way!
@AdventuresIntoHistory yeah, you do!
Love seeing all the historical stuff .
That’s why I’ve always loved Georgia, so much great n interesting history.
It’s amazing that Mr. Mike’s building( for storage)are still standing as they’re certainly full of some wonderful stuff. I love stuff like that.
I remember Junction City. I believe as a child we’ve driven through it many a times (that was in the early 60tys). It’s so sad to see it just about all gone. Thanks Robert. ♥️♥️😊👍👍👍🌟🌟
That was really great 👍 felt like I was taking a tour of a museum of days gone by

Good to see Mr. Buckner up and about and doing well. How is the work coming along on the old house he was redoing you and Dan went to? Sure would like an update on that. Speaking of houses when are we getting back to the OBF? I guess the garden is done by now,it's been a long hot summer hasn't it? Your intern back in school I suppose. Well,y'all take care and see ya soon.❤from Ky.
