I believe it. My great grandparents (on a central Texas ranch) had neither electricity or running water until the late 1930’s. Until then it was hand drawn water from the well, the outhouse and kerosene lanterns.And her chicken recipes started with “catch chicken”.
"Catch chicken." Must be one of those heirloom breeds. 😂
My grandma had a kitchen like this in rural Ky. She also had a pan of water and a bar soap with a hanging mirror, so one could clean up
When we pulled up the linoleum in my kitchen (blt 1867) there was a well there. We still have a cistern in the basement and the weirdest thing was when it rained (we closed it up) you could hear the rain water rushing down into the cistern from INSIDE the wall.
I always enjoy the mental exercise of "what's it like to live like xxx" ... and these videos allow me to use my imagination about living in different times. Thank you for that.
Wow! Remembering the grandparents, with love.
I did enjoy this, and that’s my attraction to things of old. I feel it gives me a connection to the past. I like the antique floral wallpaper.
A lot of homes also had a Summer kitchen. They would use the Summer kitchen for canning, and cooking during summer months to prevent adding additional heat to the main house.
Very nice presentation. Clear, concise and no dingity dangity music, thanks!
I love that they harvested rainwater for the cleaning jobs! This is something we ought to be doing today.
I still cook on a wood cookstove in the wintertime the food is cooked slow and taste so much better
Nothing beats pinto beans cooked on a wood stove. I love them when the bean juice is thick like gravy.
Joy R wonderful!
My friends family were farmers in the 1800's through the mid 1900's. She told me that when it was summer, her grandmother would get up at 4am and cook dinner and bake, finished long before noon. Then they'd cover the dishes until time to eat. They could do this with fried chicken and other meats, they'd sit them in the pantry or ice chest.
Our farm in central Missouri had no telephone, electric, or running water until the 1950s. They did have a windmill to pump water and a cement root cellar/springhouse keep milk cold, worked like a large old school refrigerator. The windmill pumped cold water to the springhouse and cement livestock water troughs. Interesting how they adapted without modern amenities.
kc0jtl Greeting I grew up in California we had water in house and finally got natural gas lines laid out so we could have cooking and heating, ,we had electricity already. But I remember us having a wood cook stove and or kerosene stove for cooking and heating . Those days to me seem like stone age I ‘ ll take this time frame over that time frame any day 👍 💕🦋🌈👵🏻🐶😺
PAUL DIBLASI , Sorry to disagree with you , yes they were happy, but happiness is all in how you perceive your personal happiness ,and what you are willing to except as happiness. As for myself happiness is my family , and sitting on my patio just before sunup with a big cuppa coffee and listening to to the world waking up, ( birds stirring with sleepy chirping ,dogs barking and just the sheer joy of being alive) of course this is in the summertime.💕. 🦋🌈👵🏻🐶😺
I wouldn't necessarily say people were happier then, life itself was a lot of work. I have spent a lot of time in Germany, I was surprised to find in remote regions there, many people heat and cook strictly with wood. When I was a child here in Missouri we heated strictly with one wood stove in the living room, which didn't do much for my upstairs bedroom I will tell you. Cutting wood for the winter was laborious work throughout the summer. I am however, one of the few people I know my age who was raised with a party line telephone.
kc0jtl how did you bathe ?
@@bettyhouk8727 so would i😊
We didnt get electric till 48. I was born in 47, and we drank from the kitchen pump which ran to a cistern outside the house. We had a huge old heating stove in the kitchen. It had chrome or nickel guards around it that you could put your wet socking feet on to warm them up. It had like a trophy that was nickel at the top. Mom bought new 50s style kitchen chairs in the mid 50s. Come winter, the stove melted off the back of moms chair and that was the end of that stove. We got gas after that. They had a wood range that I never saw, and mom said they had to prop the oven door up with a broom handle. I had a wood range myself 20yrs ago. Cooked on it many times. One of the last chores I had before I replaced granpa milking, was to gather clean cobs and put them in the outhouse, as we didnt get a indoor crapper till around 60
Am I crazy to want a kitchen like this lol
As long as there's HD-TV and a computer in another room. Bathroom to boot.
Nastia no!! Youre not crazy at all!
Nastia I want it too
I don't, it must be very uncomfortable and nasty. Sorry babe, but I prefer my 2000s kitchen . 😏
No i dream of this too
been there,done that.good ole days.
Down South we built tiny kitchen rooms away from the house to use during the summer. Kept the heat down considerably. My granny had a screened room that was used for summer eating only and closed away during the winter.
I LOVE that kitchen! I found these wood stoves in Lehmans catalogue. Theyre about $4000! i am lucky enough to still have some pots, pans, an iron and other accessories from my Grandmother. Life was good back then.
Lovely kitchen. Love these vintage homes.
Very interesting to see.
I stayed at a place in Massachusetts recently that had a wood burning stove similar to this one, only I think it was a bit older. (The house was built at some point in the 1700's). It really did heat up the kitchen a lot, as long as you kept the fire going. When you opened the door, it felt like opening a really hot oven times ten lol..
Very interesting. Thank you.
Great video!

This is Minnesota!!! WOW! Love the video!
It took more work back then, it's true, but kids didn't have so much homework like they do now either and were required to help out around the house much more. Even in the 60's I remember sitting at the kitchen table peeling potatoes and mashing them for mom when I was just 5 or 6. At grandpa's farm we used to sit on the back porch and cut green beans, shuck peas, whittle kindling and enjoy talking about our day. I used to go down to the pond and catch fish and gig frogs on weekends and cook them up for supper. I also remember riding into town with grandpa's pickup filled with melons, strawberries or the like and selling them to local grocers and how grandpa always tried to get an extra half cent out of the grocer. A farmer might get 3 cents for each ear of corn back then and grandpa would always try to get 3 1/2 cents instead. I loved those days.
Bill I grew up in rural Colorado. An hour bus ride to and from school. Class time: 8:00-3:30; 188 days a year. In the fall schools would close during harvest. All the kids had chores that had to be done daily; along with homework. My country school produced a Space Shuttle Commander by the name of Kent Rominger. I used to help him with math and chemistry. Kids today go to school less than 6 hours a day and only 180 days. Homework today amounts to busy work. Most kids that live in the country still have chores, most urban kids do not. I'm grateful for my upbringing; I have a work ethic directly because of the hard work that was required of me as a child. I also graduated from HS with a 3.87 GPA.... I did my homework. Literally and figuratively.
My grandparents and mom and dad lived in homes with kitchen's like this. What she didn't say is in the fall and winter most families stayed in the kitchen because it's where the stove provided the most heat.
wow I have not seen a stove like this since my grandmother had one in her house. she was born in 1910 and passed away in 3003. My grandmother only used this kind of stove and didn't except anything modernized equipment in her 2 and 1/2 by 4 foot kitchen. She even had an ice box not a refrigerator.
valencia carlin and she lived to be 1093 years old
That was so nice thank you for showing that
Love this video!! it should be longer though, so we can get more enjoyment from it
I want to go back into time!! 1900s
The Color Purple. "How you work this stove?".
My Grandparents had electricity, but you couldn't turn on a light til dusk. No running water, well within walking distance of the house, no inside pump, outhouse. I even have that hair trimmer that you show sitting next to the inside pump which I got from their Farm.
Tx 4 great sharing 👍👌😘
I love it I want a kitchen like this
Sometimes the well pump was in the kitchen. Dig the well first, then build the house around it. What a convenience! :-)
People who lived in rural areas even in the 1920s likely had no phone or electricity or even indoor plumbing.Such was the case for my ancestors
Off grid living. Living before there was a grid
The good old days
I really enjoyef
Way More advanced than most kitchens in Third world Today.
This would have been my Great grand mothers kitchen.
Interesting video. I am looking at building a log cabin which I am going to post on my channel and I am interest in the old kitchen and wood cook stoves. Thanks for sharing.
Dad got married to mom in 1946 they moved back to her house in 47 added. Electricity cut gramps was terrified of it and lit house with kerosene. Duh. They bought brand new dixon stove for 140 bucks burnt coal. Wood. Propane. Had stove until 2k refit
Looks like what my grandmother's kitchen was like until they moved into a much smaller 2 bedroom home during the early 1960's. My grandmother who was born in Canada had completed her college education during the early 1930's to become an interpreter of the German language however during the second world war she was stripped of her Canadian citizenship only because she had married a man who probable didn't have a high school education and who was born in Germany before he moved to Canada in the late 1920's. So her employment opportunities outside the home were limited for at least 5 years. I remember that my grandparents were intelligent. My grandfather often liked to play his accordion and he liked friendly in English too debate.
I still cook on a range like that.
😀
Oh boy I can just taste the homemade bread.Must have been a lot of social gatherings in the winter around the stove.
I would have liked to see an explanation of the stove's compartments .
Actually very simple. The upper silver door on the left is where wood or coal is loaded onto the fire. You can also lift up the lids on that side as well to load wood/coal there. Bottom left door is access to the deep ash pan. The crank handle in between will riddle the grate to let excess ash fall into the ash pan.
Oven, of course, is the big door. On the right is the water reservoir. Water is heated here for use in the kitchen, and depending on the stove could hold between 5-9 gallons. Flue gases flow around the reservoir to heat the water.
Above the range are two warming compartments where you would warm plates before serving, and also keep things like biscuits warm.
For cooking, the left side of the stove is the hottest (left rear the hottest), and the coolest is front right. Bring your pot to the boil on the left, then reduce to a simmer by moving the pot over to the right. You controlled the oven temperature by regulating not only how hot your fire was burning, but also how much of the flue gases you allowed to circulate around the oven compartment via a damper.
I would adjust quickly, but a kitchen sink pump is an adjustment I would need.
( and a flushing potty).....
Nice, I'm sure to someone that knew how to run a kitchen like that, it must have ben vary capable indeed.
I live in a cabin I built. my kitchen looks a little more modern but not much. I cook on a 1930s gas stove, i have a wall phone like yours for looks. and use nothing but vintage cast iron to cook with. a farm house sink and to many vintage things to describe here. in fact my whole cabin is vintage inside and out,,,,,,,,,,,,
The sink and pump looks a bit like the one in "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves."
Did the range cooker heat the house in the 1920s?
Just think: the 2020s is almost here! It will be 2020 next year. Future historians will look back at the kitchen styles and appliances of the 2020s with 🌹 rose coloured glasses.
what material is the counter top
We cook our food outdoor with only wood in an open pit stove. The kitchen in the 1920's are more advance. But our food is the best tasting there is. LOL!!!
Looks like a lot of work it just shows how lazy is modern people are compared to our elders
you mean we have modern conveniences? outrageous
Elizabeth Marks-Graham bold of you considering you’re on the Internet
That is why married women didn't work outside the home -- it really was a full time job, and there wasn't anything chauvinistic about women working in the kitchen (the men worked in the fields).
Anon Z well of course except the fact they had no way to support themselves if their husbands lost their jobs or were abusive. And let’s also ignore the fact that women didn’t have a choice of working or staying at home, they were assigned the task of being a housewife. Sounds perfectly equal to me
Which Rice County? My family lived in and around Rice County and Ellsworth County Kansas from the 1870' s, to some still being there today. My father was born in Rice County Kansas,,February 1919.
Ah the good old days. Remember When #1- Looking back on the past from 'Reflection Soft Rock- Collection -- ua-cam.com/video/77Jg5egILGE/v-deo.html
Heck of a nice way to live off-grid...
the chunks of wood are far too large. That range took small kindling, the better to control the heat. Otherwise, not bad.
A REAL farmhouse kitchen. Eat your hearts out, Farmhouse Style Fakery!
It's hard to tell from the pictures the overall layout of the kitchen. Why no better view, or panoramic shot or a 360 degree walkaround?
The kettle looks same in the 80s.
These were deadly health hazards.
But, I betcha good wholesome meals were prepared with love.
Gosh. The things we take for granted today.
Like- Plumbing,clean water, lights, medicine and Hygiene.
No hazard if you're careful.
Where is Rice county? What state?
Good Tutt Faribault Minnesota
No Maxwell House?
That looks like 1820's !
Actually, with the exception of she had electricity and used coal rather than wood, my grandmothers kitchen looked a lot like that.
You went too fast!
I agree.. much too fast and was entirely too short
I kind of agree. A little slower, and a little more detail would have enhanced the video.
The future and generations now would not know what to do in a kitchen like that, all they want is their wifi and internet and their electric blankets. Most kids nowadays dont even go outside to play so sad cause when SHTF it will be like their blind.
no microwave?
the phone is the microwave, it would fry your brains slowly from inside out.
I'm annoyed that you didn't show the whole kitchen instead of just closeup shots
This would be a palace in any third-world country.
This video is so short. Surely you could have gone into more detail.
Yes those old days seem so uncomplicated. The wife used a rub board wash the family’s clothing. Not an easy job ! If there isn’t a water source. close by ie a hand pump as seen in old west’s movies then the water had to be “ toted” from a stream ,not easy . Of course the water had to be heated so a fire 🔥 had to “ made “ . And the list goes on . Don’t kick about your dishwasher or washing machine and all the other labor Saving things we take for granted, life was not easy for people in the so called lower classes. Men had to use pick and shovel to dig any ditch or excavation for whatever the job required not easy . And the list goes on . Men and women were both were thought of as lazy jf they failed to follow the set codes ,ie washing hung on the line by sunup or you aren’t a very good house wife , men if he didn’t out work the other men on the crew ,he was not “ a man” ! Yes life seemed simple and uncomplicated, And it was sorta for the so called upper class ,but they had things to deal with too! Life may in today’s world may be stressful, some of the causes of the stress is our own doing, we don’t try to get along with each other, we are pissed 😤 and don’t know why or if we do, that just pisses us off more ,I once heard this ,it’s better to be pissed off then to be pissed on.! To my way of thinking neither one will get you anywhere, so smile get a happiness in your soul and you can change the world 🌎 .I love each and every one of you , Blessed Be to all 👍🦋💕🌈👵🏻🐶😺🤜🏿🤛👍 💕🌏🌍🌎👍
I would like to see you try to put a piece of that wood in the stove,come on this is supposed to be authentic ,
I enjoy seeing videos like this, but may I suggest you not film everything up so close that you cannot see it in its entirety.
..And this is where they cooked people's FACES!!!!
Too many close ups, and not enough time to enjoy the subjects. 😢
The narrator's vocal fry is distracting me from being able to really listen and learn.
