You’re hiking through a beautiful place - nice and quiet and I’m enjoying traveling along with you in this video 😊 That must’ve been a really nice town when it was all built up there’s not much left now but it was a nice hike through the woods thank you for sharing this interesting video 😊💕
Thank you so much for taking me along. No one I know shares my interest in abandoned places and history, although my son will take me to places, I know his heart is not in it. He is just being kind. I'm old now and can no longer hike due to COPD. So thank you. I would never had had the opportunity to see these places especially with someone else who is so interested in them.
Columbia, Lancaster County, PA. Civil War graves..African American Graves, and Historic and Civil War Graves including the men who were responsible for burning the Columbia/Wrightsville Bridge to stop confederate troops crossing to March to major PA cities. Caused those troops to March back westward to Gettysburg. Lancaster, PA --Lancaster County Prison..a castle style.
Here is a link to a little Cold Springs History, and inside there is a link that lists some people that signed into the Cold Springs Hotel. PA history and a story of a country switching from trains to cars for transportation ( A lesson in infrastructure ). www.stonyvalley.com/coldspring.html
I am from Harrisburg, been living here for going on one year and would love to tag along sometime to learn more about these green lands. PM me if it would be a cool thing to do.
So I can't find my original comment on here..but my ancestors named Krause emigrated from Silesia..near Poland..They were Moravians and left their homeland due to religious persecution. My ancestors helped to build and settle Bethlehem, PA in the late 1700's.. So this is really cool.
There's a nice story on the CBS news about a guy who goes out on his balcony every night and plays TAPS up in Washington state. People love it. Look forward to the end of the day.
Me too. My local haunt at Lake Galena in Bucks County used to be a lead mining town in the 19th century (N. Branch Neshaminy Creek dammed in 1970's, flooding the former town of Galena creating the lake) and photos of how things were back then are scarce.
I was there. Took the car tour when they open the road. My relatives are near there. My aunt lived on Goldmine Road. The spring "pump" is amazing. just reducing the pipe size can drip it up to the water tower. My other Uncle was the Local Historian for that area. Francis Ditzler the youngest boy of 9, ( my mother was the youngest girl now 93 and the last surviving), wrote several history books, including Old Black Joe who was a runaway slave. There is also a road that goes to it over the mountain from the opposite side as the railroad bed. It is dirt and washed out most times, with a creek at the bottom.
Never know, could do some back research on the area and find it. Did that to the local mining ghost town and found its related other closeby. Was an interesting dive, helping by bro with a college geo cultural history project with it as the center.
@@myboyz9391 many in my area are first settlers of west pa including a good portion of my mom side. The revolution lottery gave many who were soldiers land as payment, and that is how the area got settled originally besides fur trade and William Penn and/or his son's stuff. The local ghost town I helped my bro research first origins is from the revolution lottery grant.
That could have been a hallway for additional rooms or offices for the hotel. I always like to revisit places I have filmed or been to, never know what you are going find the next time around. Thank you for sharing.
Cabela's thanks you for the ad. Lol. I've heard of this place. Hubby and I plan to visit it. Bummer more of it isn't still standing. www.stonyvalley.com/coldspring.html This is for those of you who may want to have an idea of what it looked like when it was popular.
I want quite a few of your videos, I totally appreciate being able to go back on these Trails cuz I haven't really been able to do anything so she moved here I became disabled like my husband is originally from here years and years ago we live in Nesquehoning right now we own a home and there's this little lost town of ruins here I think it's called the Lausanne ruins? It's been so long since I tried to read coordinates I haven't been out hiking in years so I wouldn't be able to find it with the coordinates people has given me I wonder if you have any good hints to make it easier I know that the junkyard is no longer there and I believe it's a doctor's office cording to my husband from his old Recollections which came right to him as we drove through town to first-time shockingly but I'd love to know where this is at is well now that we have more reliable vehicle we want to be able to at least go explore somewhat the only problem is I don't think the little ruins here are accessible by wheelchair even if we wanted to pretty much anywhere else my husband can get me to it's not over a pipe Bridge
I can't thank you enough for getting me hip to S.G.L. 211, I put a lot of miles in up and around there this summer and it's helped keep me sane during dark times. Overnight-ed on the AT up in Yellow springs last week. Hope to cross trails with you eventually! Stay safe and take good care of yourself!
I think a painting of the old town gives more feel to this vid and some more hist tidbits to add. www.stonyvalley.com/coldspring.html. So this is a east pa ghost town with some history. West pa has a few as well with some interestong backgrounds, two related twin ghost towns are near bulter pa, nature reclaimed one due to everythint been torn down and burned in 1970s to 80s, last house was vacated in 2000's. Maybe ya heard of them, Yellow Dog and old West Winfield older name Rough Run (it was renamed later after the town got big from many mining operations but was once named after the small but deep creek that ran through it)? West Winfield is just the road, the limestone mine which is still in operation, and the old furnance still stands besides the old slab of the massive train station and the old St Mary's church Foundation still is there. Although there are possible plans to make it into an industrial complex again, it was a busniess hub before even held a ceramic plant once, as it once was so it is good that my bro got me into it to find everything on it and got a few pics of now for later.😎
Great video and glad you when back there I just find your video today I got interested in this place that I ask my husband if we can go and check that out and we did. We are about 1 hour away. I have to tell you guys this is and amazing place just like you described and I agree with you is rejuvenate and the air is so pure it took me back to my childhood growing up in the mountains ⛰ over sea. If anyone one leave close by I recommend is beautiful there me and my husband enjoyed and thinking to go back and bring the kids with us. Thanks so much for doing this videos.
You are a wonderful a teacher. you're going places I would never be be able to walk. I would like to see the Moveloma people restore that Village. I know I butchered that name sorry.
No harm in revisiting some of the places you have been. True you always find something you didn't see the first time.. Days are getting shorter. I always enjoy your videos.. Why lot people say Pennsylvania haunted? Never show proof. Just because a place is abandoned don't mean its haunted.. Is all that protected land. There's so much land yet people want to move to Alaska, live off the grid. Seem the government could make a deal where there once was old towns, buildings that's now overgrown, yet peaceful and serene. I'd live there.like our ancestors did. Grow food plant fruit and but trees. They had wells.. Sometimes I wished I could go back in time, see how things looked back then. I'd like to be a time traveler, when the noise and things got to be a bit much. Just travel back to a simpler place in time. But then I might not want to come back.. Thanks for another interesting video. I see why you like revisiting some these places. I'm a simple person. Don't ask for much and not hard to please. Take care, be safe. Love, respect, and positivity always. Neita James.:-)
People say 'haunted' in the comments about as much as "This would be a good place for metal detecting" and "That place must have been grand back in the day". I don't get it.
Beautiful looks like a place we need to visit. I’m not familiar with the town but I grew up in my early years in Lebanon, my Dad was the manager of Lebanon Village in the 70’s
Hi Cliff catching up with you. This was amazing & beautiful!! Would love walking that everyday. Hope you got some rest you did look tired. Appreciate all you do for us. Take good care.🥰
Sounds like you ate a lot of potato chips, you are going to put on a few pounds after all that, just joking. It was you crunching in the leaves, that tells you that area was dry. The deer would hear you a mile away. Happy Thanksgiving to you. Stay safe out there
wow....how cool would it be to see the photo's if Any of this place when it was still a village. I googled it and all I can find is a few other videos of what u had filmed which I wll have to watched....LOVED THIS VIDEO!....thanks for the share
I HAVE SEEN THIS ONE BEFORE, BUT I ENJOYED SEEING IT AGAIN. ITS SO BEAUTIFUL PEACEFUL. I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW THAT MOSS WOULD COVER STUFF LIKE STEPS. I WISH I WAS AROUND BACK IN THE DAY IT WAS IN FUNCTION. IT WOULD BE VERY EXCITING. THANKS AGAIN FOR SHOWING THIS AS I WILL NEVER GET TIRED OF IT. ITS SURE A BIG TREASURE.
Thank you so much for that. I love it when you go back to places and that place is a bit of a fave those stone walls are gorgeous. The crunching of the leaves, the golden shower makes for gorgeous video, just loved it. Thanks so much for taking me along please stay safe and take care
How about Titusville, Pa. Birthplace of the Oil Industry.. Or even Pitt Hole . Pitt Hole at it's peak had the second or third largest Post Office by mail volume than even Pittsburgh at the peak of the Oil boom back in the !8,000 's.?????
If the RR stopped going there, the town would die. No industry to attract the commerce of the RR. agriculture goods, timber cutting, coal transport, could thrive with a RR, . Lots of dead towns, by passed by RR The Pennsylnania RR was the largest railroad in the world, more miles of track from Philadelphia thru St Louis and Chicago, railroad not in 1700s, but later 1840s. The Pennsylvania railroad company was the largest Company in the world. No way to earn a living the population would move on, the town would cease to exist.
Seen wells in abandoned villages where the covers have rotted away and were deep enough that a flash on the camera didn't show the bottom. Exploring by yourself can be deadly!
That music was TAPS, usually played later in the day, at nighttime when its time to go to bed. That was a beautiful hike. It reminds me a spring resort town way up in the NW corner of PA called Cambridge Springs, there used to be something like four or five massive wooden resort hotels, even into the 1990s. One of the last ones just burned down recently. They are located right next to a creek called French Creek and springs were right next to the creek.
I had no idea! I'm from south Central Pennsylvania and now live in the northeast. You're right about Fort Indiantown Gap. My dad is buried in their military cemetery. I read that the resort closed in 1900. This is very interesting. The Appalachian Trail goes through Cold Spring Township. Thank you for this interesting tour! I just looked at a picture and there seemed to be a body of water in front of the resort. Do you know what it is? It was mentioned that it was a lake. I also read that there was a camp for boys at one time until some mortars from the Gap fell into the camp while there were WWII exercises going on, so the Gap took over the land but returned it to the commonwealth in 1956.
is this in Seven Valleys? I've tried putting in Cold Springs, yet Seven Valleys keeps coming up. Could you give a street name to catch a trail? If this is in Seven Vallys, I"m so close :-) Thank you.
So much cool history that most people dont even know about..love your videos..Im from johnstown PA..I never knew until like a year ago there was an old mine on the hill behind the incline plane that there was an explosion in in the early 1900s and 112 guys got killed..It was called the Rolling mill mine. You can take a trail up to see a little bit of the opening but they have it fenced off..you cant get inside.
A tour bus caught fire down at the base Cold Springs Rd which the driver accessed from 2nd Mountain at Hawk Watch. The bus driver which was hauling a guard unit around the base during an AT said he got lost and ended up down at Stony Creek. On his way down he must have bottomed out and caught the bus on fire from the large rocks that were sticking up. After much effort weeks later the bus was cut in half and removed via the railroad bed. I remember so well!
Interesting place to visit, probably a lot of history was made there. Good time to visit looks like in the fall of the year very beautiful place. Thank you
A beautiful woods for sure just be careful the boogie man doesn’t get you. I hear it’s a Bigfoot hangout also just be on the look out. Love your channel
Check out state game lands 252. WW2 bunkers,and the abandoned town of Alvira. Churches foundations and cemetery's . We enjoy your journey thru our state.
Hi Cliff, I do remember these ruins from before, it looks so beautiful with the Fall colour as a backdrop and the crunch as you walk through them. It must have been a happening place back in the day with people just relaxing away from the noise of the cities. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx💖
I googled this and found a drawing or picture of the hotel and other buildings around it. Really interesting video and a very nice place.
I’m not finding this specific place. Do you have a link? Thank you
@@ormorphe www.stonyvalley.com/coldspring.html
Way cool Cliff! Thank you for taking us on another great adventure!
Beautiful. Love the crunching leaves.
It's always fascinating to find pieces of history.
You’re hiking through a beautiful place - nice and quiet and I’m enjoying traveling along with you in this video 😊
That must’ve been a really nice town when it was all built up there’s not much left now but it was a nice hike through the woods thank you for sharing this interesting video 😊💕

Again thanks Mr.C. Enjoyed.
The woods are medicine for the soul.
You remind me of friends who have done similar things with my books, and it's good to see you again in such a beautiful and tranquil place
perfect falling leaves !!
Nice Watkins Glen T
I just did. Nice!
Just subscribed like what I see 👍

that for retreat

The earth does reclaim what's hers.
Only when we let her.
So I can't find my original comment on here..but my ancestors named Krause emigrated from Silesia..near Poland..They were Moravians and left their homeland due to religious persecution. My ancestors helped to build and settle Bethlehem, PA in the late 1700's..
So this is really cool.
You were hearing Taps. It is played every evening at sunset at military installations when they lower the American Flag.
There's a nice story on the CBS news about a guy who goes out on his balcony every night and plays TAPS up in Washington state. People love it. Look forward to the end of the day.
That's "To the Color" - Taps is at lights out.
That's revelry
There's a National Guard Training Facility just to the north there.
Indiantown Gap military cemetery is close to these woods . it’s a military post, used mostly by PA. national guard
Love your videos and the comments as well - I feel the camaraderie of the group as we venture forth with you! 🙏❤
The chatter of katydids is one of my favorite sounds.
Boy would that trail make for a nice horse back ride it’s really a beautiful spot.
What a great camera-this gives you a real you are there feeling-wow😊 What a beautiful forrest
It would be amazing to superimpose what a house would look like when you view a ruined foundation.
Pennsylvania is probably the coolest state. You get a little bit of everything here. I never appreciated it until I got older.
I would love to see the before photo's of this amazing village.
Me too. My local haunt at Lake Galena in Bucks County used to be a lead mining town in the 19th century (N. Branch Neshaminy Creek dammed in 1970's, flooding the former town of Galena creating the lake) and photos of how things were back then are scarce.
Considering that zip codes were introduced in 1963, I don’t think the ruins had a zip code.
I was going to say the same thing.
Good point.
My ex husband used to camp there with his boy Scouts back in mid to late 70's
Moonshiners heaven
Watch out for Sasquatch 🤣🤣
No seriously. Idk about that particular area of Cold Springs, though.
Thumbs up Cliff! So peaceful, love the sound of the insects and rustling leaves...plus some awesome ruin foundations!
You peaked my curiosity so I had to Google Cold Springs. Really a neat vlog, thanks.
Check out Pithole in Venango County. It's fascinating, it was basically a city abandoned after the oil boom.
thank you for the hike, but you know you can take a day off to rest and relax. especially after a very busy day.

How cool! My 5xs Krause ancestors were Moravians who came to PA in the late 1700's. They were original settlers of Bethlehem, PA.

New sub absolutely stunning footage thank you for taking me along your journey nice stress reliever thank you💚
I enjoyed the hike thru the woods!!! I love seeing the old stone ruins!!! Thank you Cliff for sharing!!! Take care, stay safe and God bless you!!!

I hunted SGL 211 with my boys several times in the last. Such an enchanting place. Sor th the efforts to get back in there. It is definatly back in.
You look like my uncles lost twin. He’s in Harrisburg

Is there a grave yard in the town?
I don’t think so. There is a one a couple miles down the trail though
Not at this location.
Cliff when you started down the grand avenue, was that a bear a head of you crossing it. No think it was deer on second look.
There are many beautiful wooded areas in PA. this one is only 30 miles from Harrisburg, PA , the capital.
I'm from Montgomery County, PA but live in Northern Arizona now (beautiful in it's own right, of course) and I do miss the Eastern Woods...
Great video and glad you when back there I just find your video today I got interested in this place that I ask my husband if we can go and check that out and we did.

Thanks so much for doing this videos.
i wonder if any one back then had a vision of a man setting on there steps in a orange hat lol
What a great video - the darker lighting, freshly fallen leaves amid the ruins, and single katydid ( my favorite sound) play on the imagination
The 23rd was my birthday! A great way to celebrate, even belatedly! Thanks for sharing, Cliff!
You are a wonderful a teacher. you're going places I would never be be able to walk. I would like to see the Moveloma people restore that Village. I know I butchered that name sorry.

Beautiful country Thank you for posting.
Those lichens and the Mosses on those stones are beautiful.
Oh I loved this place when you took us along some time ago
Loved it again even more
So nostalgic xx
Love exploring these areas. Nice job.
The long building might have been a stable for the horses and carriages, would had been maybe a bakery, laundry and storage buildings.
Sounds like you ate a lot of potato chips, you are going to put on a few pounds after all that, just joking. It was you crunching in the leaves, that tells you that area was dry. The deer would hear you a mile away. Happy Thanksgiving to you. Stay safe out there
A great place to revisit. You're right, you see new things each time.

There's a lot of places like this in pa is fun to find them
we are going to gettysburg in april. aný of these places around there
@@cindybrian5589 tons, so much history form there, lots of civil war stuff, and not just pa history but a lot of American history as well
Wonder if the town had a cemetery?
How about Titusville, Pa. Birthplace of the Oil Industry.. Or even Pitt Hole
. Pitt Hole at it's peak had the second or third largest Post Office by mail volume than even Pittsburgh at the peak of the Oil boom back in the !8,000 's.?????
Cold springs has a lot of the same attributes as Pulaski pa did back in the 1940s or earlier.
If the RR stopped going there, the town would die. No industry to attract the commerce of the RR. agriculture goods, timber cutting, coal transport, could thrive with a RR, . Lots of dead towns, by passed by RR

Watch out for uncovered wells!
Seen wells in abandoned villages where the covers have rotted away and were deep enough that a flash on the camera didn't show the bottom. Exploring by yourself can be deadly!

sortta just a bit reminds me of the corpsewood manor site. im sure u know more about that story then i fun tour thx 4 effort !
I had no idea! I'm from south Central Pennsylvania and now live in the northeast. You're right about Fort Indiantown Gap. My dad is buried in their military cemetery.
I read that the resort closed in 1900. This is very interesting. The Appalachian Trail goes through Cold Spring Township. Thank you for this interesting tour!
I just looked at a picture and there seemed to be a body of water in front of the resort. Do you know what it is? It was mentioned that it was a lake.
I also read that there was a camp for boys at one time until some mortars from the Gap fell into the camp while there were WWII exercises going on, so the Gap took over the land but returned it to the commonwealth in 1956.
is this in Seven Valleys? I've tried putting in Cold Springs, yet Seven Valleys keeps coming up. Could you give a street name to catch a trail? If this is in Seven Vallys, I"m so close :-) Thank you.
So much cool history that most people dont even know about..love your videos..Im from johnstown PA..I never knew until like a year ago there was an old mine on the hill behind the incline plane that there was an explosion in in the early 1900s and 112 guys got killed..It was called the Rolling mill mine.

A tour bus caught fire down at the base Cold Springs Rd which the driver accessed from 2nd Mountain at Hawk Watch. The bus driver which was hauling a guard unit around the base during an AT said he got lost and ended up down at Stony Creek. On his way down he must have bottomed out and caught the bus on fire from the large rocks that were sticking up. After much effort weeks later the bus was cut in half and removed via the railroad bed. I remember so well!
Great video!!!so far ❤❤❤❤History from Georgia 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍
Wow, accidentally found and Subscribed, I'm from Pennsylvania, I Fish these kind of hike in places from Kayak
Interesting place to visit, probably a lot of history was made there. Good time to visit looks like in the fall of the year very beautiful place. Thank you
A beautiful woods for sure just be careful the boogie man doesn’t get you. I hear it’s a Bigfoot hangout also just be on the look out. Love your channel
Thank You
Wow, that place rotted away fast.
That or it was burned and torn down to keep the condemed building from posing hiker hazards. West Winfield had a similar fate.
Such a lucky Man cold springs Gt I Hope someday I Will Go to Pennsylvania Brian Ireland I'm Bored here
Pa. has many beautiful areas like this. I have lived here since the 60's I'm originally from Dublin Ireland.
The train station is in the basement of the historical museum in Lebanon city
It’s strange that there are no photos to be found anywhere, does anyone know if any photos exist of any of the buildings?
Great job Cliff enjoying!!!this video ❤❤❤❤❤👍
You were listening to Retreat at the military installation. I like the Cabella's hat!!!
Check out state game lands 252. WW2 bunkers,and the abandoned town of Alvira. Churches foundations and cemetery's . We enjoy your journey thru our state.
I have been there several times.
great place I live 10 mins down the road from this place
So many such places in America! Tales of futures past.
Yes thankyou for doing these videos again
Hi Cliff, I do remember these ruins from before, it looks so beautiful with the Fall colour as a backdrop and the crunch as you walk through them. It must have been a happening place back in the day with people just relaxing away from the noise of the cities. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx💖
Evening colors is the military music you were hearing.
