The attic machine was a loom someone was using the spinning wheel to create yarn to make materials for sewing or making into rugs and other household item. People didn’t smile in old photos because it took forever to expose the film plates. Pictures were expensive to make and families didn’t do them often due to cost sometimes only when they died to create a lasting memory. Many died before age 5 years due to disease, bad water and epidemic conditions. I would love to explore that house and try to rescue what one could for history. The tools in the green velvet case in the office area were for fine work and retooling things like clocks etc. thank you for letting us see the home, I am severely disabled and truly enjoyed seeing everything be safe !
The metal disc on the wall covers the hole where the pipe from wood burning stove would access the chimney. When the wood burning stove was no longer used, they were covered with the metal plate. They often were painted with a decorative scene.
I also live in Pennsylvania, Have You ever been to Gettysburg? There's some pretty amazing History there also. I was there numerous times throughout the 1980's. It was a Gorgeous Town.
The rake thing in the one bedroom is a hand thresher. It was used to harvest wheat, hay, etc. The farmer would swing it back and forth to cut down the crops. Very labor intensive and before horse drawn farming equipment.
An exploration in a snowstorm has got to be the ultimate. When I see these beds I can't help but think of the love that was made on them so long ago. This is a beautiful home. Your sensitive approach to our nearly forgotten people in the past warms my heart.
What a shame! To let that beautiful home and beautiful furnishings rot! I pray that a historical society could save at least some of it if not all of it!
I would love to see someone resurrect this magical place! The large wheel things you saw were spinning wheels - used to turn raw materials into yarn or thread. The round thing on the wall was an eye - an opening to a flue in the chimney - they would connect a pipe from the fancy parlor stove to it so that the smoke would be taken away from the stove and room. The picture on the mantle was of Will Rogers and the large contraption you found in the attic was a weaving loom. The bench you found on it's side was a cobbler's bench for making shoes and the wooden things you found in the attic were shoe lasts that are used in the construction of shoes - you would build a shoe around them. I love history - at 58 years old, I am an antique, myself!
The big thing in the attic is a loom, for making blankets. The bells hanging on the bed corner are sleigh bells! They used corn husks to stuff mattresses.
At 28:40, that's not a whistle. It's a hole punch for cloth or leather. As big as it is, its probably for punching the holes to put in a brass grommet.
What an awesome video! Just think what that historic house has seen: The Wright Brothers First Flight, Sinking of the Titanic, WWI, The Jazz Age, WWII, The Fabulous 50s, the Swinging 60s, Men on the Moon, and so much more. Since the family was musical, I find it interesting that no wind up Victrolas were around. Amazing that so many of its furnishings have stood the test of time. Thank you for sharing this, Ranger Rick!
The bed with spinning wheel looks like the old feather beds! My aunt had her mother’s in a guest room. When we kids would stay, we always piled into that feather bed. Just loved it! Memories! Thank you!❤
I love the piano. Restored it is worth over 130,000.00 It is a square grand piano. I found one by a more common brand with less carving that sold for 130,000.00 restored. Most of the furniture there is in immaculate condition! Spectacular! Love the kitchen china cabinet too. I love old photographs. The kit on the desk is for drawing circles, measuring, can't think of the name off the top of my head. Books are my passion so I love "Uncle Ray's Story of the United States". So much history in that house. Simplicity sewing pattern. The wheel in the bedroom is a yarn loom. I do love the snow too! Great video! Take care stay safe & God bless! xoxo 💞 Kat **Love that it has a basement and an attic**
@@dawnkurtz9541 yes! I couldn't think of the name of the actual tool. I took mechanical drawing in high school and we used them (I was horrible) Thank you 🙂
Just think, those 1890s Newspapers were during the Jack the Ripper era. Not trying to be morbid, just artifactual. This is one of my most favorite explorations Rick. Thank you!
That "machine " in the bedroom is a spinning wheel for making yarn. That was not a rack to go on a tractor. It is a scythe that was swung by hand. It cut grass/hay
I have seen this place explored before by a few other explorers. It looks like someone has come in and cleaned up a lot of things. It was in WAY more chaos than this. I agree it need to be preserved before it is too late and it is gone forever. History is important, not matter what it is.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Lots of beautiful things in that house. That's a place I could spend all day looking through all the neat things. As for the snow-my kind of weather!
@@RangerRickTV You should find out if anyone actually legally owns that house. If it's been abandoned, find out if you can move in and become the owner. It would be worth it for the value of the antiques in that place!
🪑I’m not from that era either 😉, but I do know that the lacy cloth pinned to the chair is an antimacassar. They were originally used to protect furniture from damage caused by macassar, the oily styling substance used to groom men’s hair (modern = VO5). Also the “corn stalk” you pointed out at the beginning, in actuality appears to be a Cattail, a reedy plant that grows near water. Beautiful home.. thanks for the interesting vid! 👍👍👍
The wallpaper is superb! That tiny piece you can see when he finds the shotgun in the corner is so beautiful. I would just love to walk through this house looking at everything. I see so many historical items in there.
I watched my grandma make rugs with that. She made what we called rag rugs. Some wew big enough for living room and some were just to be pout in the bathroom (later on).
Some lampshades were made from skins. In the room you think is the office on the desk there was that box with the green velvet and the instruments. I believe those would be serving tools or map making tools
Some lampshades were made from skins. In the room you think is the office on the desk there was that box with the green velvet and the instruments. I believe those would be serving tools or map making tools. And that tool that you think is a rake in that upstairs bedroom with the spinning wheel I think is a precursor to a bush hog up today. I believe that was used to clear brush from the land, but not like raking leaves. It would use for larger debris and pulled by a horse likely or a cow.
I have collected a lot of the pieces similar to what you’ve seen here. It just seems like such a waste of everything. It’s just sitting there and rotting away. I think, eventually, that house is going to collapse, and everything inside will be ruined. I wish somebody could come in and save some of this furniture, etc. what a beautiful house.
Hello. Amazing home. I am going to kindly suggest that if you continue to explore old houses that you pick up some books at the library or book store or look on line to learn about old architecture and antiques. I would think that it would be advantageous to be able to identify a myriad of old items so that you can inform people, accurately as to what they are. If you can’t identify a loom or sleigh bells or a common magnifying glass or a stove pipe cover, you have a lot to learn. Educate yourself and both you and your ‘fan base’ can enjoy your tours so much more. Best of luck.
Geez if I were rich I would buy this handsome place and have it restored to the original home. ahh you bet. please never tear it down whoever buys or owns it. I dont usually go bonkers over seeing old places like this. Theirs something about this place I feel. oh thank you for showing this. Thank you....my my I keep coming back to yack. also, I love the old furniture. why would anyone just leave it.
It worries me you telling everyone how much things are worth in this beautiful old home, that some with bad intentions will come and steal. No need.. Dont worry it wont be me. I live in another country, plus I'm not a thief! Apart from that, I enjoyed the tour of a beautiful old home, so sad it couldn't be someone's restoration...
Will Rogers. Spinning wheel from raw wool. You hit pay dirt of antiques. It is amazing how the old catalogues and old books of every kind is still there. Ranger Rick you found the best old house that seems untouched from the past. Super cool. Thank you. I enjoyed it very much. ❤
The machine that has the wheel is a spinning wheel. It was used to put cotton or wool on a ball. The crocheted piece is called a doily. It was used to protect the wood on end tables. I like when you open cupboards. Wish you would show the dishes more. Maybe flip it over to see where it was made. The furniture is beautifully done. Very articulately made. Thx for an interesting tour. The game is backgammon I believe.
Hi Rick!❤ that’s a dooley and they probably stapled it on the back of the chair to protect it. Well Rick another great house you took us threw, so much old stuff still there, those old newspapers just hanging around geez I’ve never seen an old newspaper that old. And his woodworking is amazing. Thank you for taking us into such an incredible place
It’s actually a doily and yes it was a means to protect the fabric in a decorative way. That thing on the wall was where a big pipe connected to the stove would be placed and I believe it exited somewhere through the roof and pushed out smoke just like a chimney. This house is incredible!!
There is a smaller, older house in New Jersey. It is called “the William Green house”, and was built by William Green who died in 1722. The house is now owned by Monmouth College, New Jersey. After living there he built another home several miles away near a river before he died.
Really cool house. That was a magnifying glass not a microscope. The spinning wheel is a walking wheel aka great wheel. There would have been a spindle on the end. You do not sit on it. You stand and turn the wheel by hand while pulling back on the yarn you are spinning then you turn the wheel the other way and walk forward to get the yarn on the spindle then repeat. What you called a rake is a grain cradle scythe. It was used by hand and was used to cut and harvest grains like wheat. That piece is worth some money. Those are sleigh bells that fit on a horse's harness. I'd love to have those. The corn husks were probably brought in by rats or squirrels though they were used for different things. That was cattails on the wallpaper downstairs. The mattresses are more modern. Not anything like what they used in the 1800's and early 1900's. I hope he didn't take that gun from there. Looks like a bathroom off of the kitchen.
Architects used the scribe set. Probably still do. They must have cut up their own meat that’s a meat saw in the sink. The simplicity pattern instructions in the closet. That’s an old Sithe. The beds were cotton mattresses The pommel horse was a cobblers tool
I love every season of the year. Here in The Netherland its 30c the last few days. So nice to chill out with a drink and watch this abandoned video in cold conditions
I love this house, but I wish you'd put up floor plans so we can get a feel for the layout. That second floor was wild. If that was a hoarders house (especially cat hoarders), it would look WAY worse, so someone had to have cleaned it up at some point. I don't know how they could leave all that beautiful furniture behind. Did it have a kitchen?
Interesting home but I suspect it was built much later than 1775. If you noticed the attic ceiling the lumber is milled, which I believe didn't happened back in 1775.
That huge thing is a rug loom. This one had my mouth hanging open in awwe. It's from the time of Little Women! I would have loved to have known the people who lived there. They must not have had much use for the outside world and its commercialism. Did they walk away in the early 1950's? I would have thought earlier than that had you not seen a date from that time. Can't wait to see Steve's video of this one! 😍
Spinning wheel. This fsrm was self sustaining. They grew crops of corn, flax for linen, sheep for wool. They produced what they need and what they could sell at market. The women of the house made their cloths.
What a beautiful house and it can still be saved too. Those wagon wheel things are spinning wheels for making yarns and thread. That piece in the attic is a weaving loom for creating fabric to be sewn into clothes or whatever is needed. Thanks for sharing and you have a great day with safe travels
OMGGGGGG rick this was sooo amazing to step back in time everything was perfect i love all the historical news papers boook s etc and everything u can seee there im lost for words awesome video
Hello from San Antonio,Texas ,Many years ago I asked my grandmother why is it that people never smiled in the photographs back in the days.She told me that it was very common for people to have bad teeth.She didn't even ponder on my question when i asked....she lived to be 95 years old & still had her teeth.
Some of the rooms being small would have been for the house servants. At that period in time big houses had hired help and also slaves to do the farm work and house work.
Hope someone can rescue this beautiful and spacious home. At least it doesn't appear that the roof has started to fail and leak, so the structure should still be sound and restorable.
That rake had a blade on it,&would have been perpendicular to what your'e cutting,perhaps wheat,oats,etc. This was a great explore loved the furniture,the microscope was a magnifying glass!
This was a beautiful i would of had that farm yard set i agree with youa hundred percent these items should be in a museum the craftman ship back them was built to last and beautiful great find rick

Looks as if it could be a little museum. Beautiful. Poor kitties 😢
Will Rogers and Woolaroc museum or Tulsa Philbrook should be contacted for those beautiful museum quality pieces
Poor old house. I wish our country protected our histpry. These places and the people who lived in it are all we have! So sad.
😢 Yes it's so sad. Where are our values?

I saw a piano like that for sale and it was sixty five thousand dollars
I just cannot believe 😪 the beautiful shape of this house and the great shape of the Antiques inside this house Very beautiful shape the beds are in.
The metal disc on the wall covers the hole where the pipe from wood burning stove would access the chimney. When the wood burning stove was no longer used, they were covered with the metal plate. They often were painted with a decorative scene.
Thank you, I was just about to comment the same thing.. That its a pipe from the wood burning stove
I love historical houses. When I lived in Philadelphia we lived right down the road from one.
I also live in Pennsylvania, Have You ever been to Gettysburg? There's some pretty amazing History there also. I was there numerous times throughout the 1980's. It was a Gorgeous Town.

What a beautiful old house set in a winter wonderland. Thanks for sharing this amazing time capsule rick. They don't make furniture like this anymore.
What a beautiful old house! It’s heartbreaking to see her abandoned & rotting away! Wonderful video Ranger Rick! 👍❤️🤘
Glad you enjoyed it
The photo on the fireplace mantle is Will Rogers.

Your only vintage (lol) , antique is 100 yrs plus.
Thanks for your input Louann
I am 67 and consider 58 to be young
The corn husk was used for insulation. There was corn husk in a old house my husband and I bought. We were told that what it was used for.
An exceptional treasure trove of history and a beautiful old home.
The big thing in the attic is a loom, for making blankets. The bells hanging on the bed corner are sleigh bells! They used corn husks to stuff mattresses.

I believe the tools on bed are drafting tools. All those rolls in the desk are engineer or architect drawings. This is definitely a museum!
@@dawnkurtz9541 yes! I couldn't think of the name of the actual tool. I took mechanical drawing in high school and we used them (I was horrible) Thank you 🙂
My husband a retired engineer has his grandfathers drafting kit.
Great house! Shame that it's left to die. If walls could talk. 😊 Thank you!
I certainly agree
Wowzers those games are backgammon
Incredible wallpaper and furniture 😍

OMG WHAT A NICE SURPRISE!! I WASNT EXPECTING TO SEE MY BABY STEVE RONIN!!!!! I LOVE YOU STEVE!!!!!!
The wallpaper is superb! That tiny piece you can see when he finds the shotgun in the corner is so beautiful. I would just love to walk through this house looking at everything. I see so many historical items in there.
Love those old spinning wheels, and that big thing in the attic is a loom, for making fabrics!!
They would take the wool from sheep or other hairy animals and spin it in̈in to yarn. There are a. Couple pieces mixing on it.
I watched my grandma make rugs with that. She made what we called rag rugs. Some wew big enough for living room and some were just to be pout in the bathroom (later on).

I think the town should be contacted and suggest saving this home. Shame to have it rot
I can't believe this was all left..should be in a museum
Button collecting was and is still a thing. Some buttons can fetch huge prices. Especially those from civil war uniforms. 😊
I suspect this house was occupied way later than the 70's. The calculator in that closet is from the early 90's.
Thanks for documenting this house before its gone!
Any time!
The house is beautiful it needs to be restored
Guitars caught my attention lol
I'm not crazy about hot weather either. Looking out that window reminded me of my childhood home. So pretty.

This stuff is worth a fortune.
This is my favorite explore that u have done, Rick. Because i am all into antiques. Thank you!
Yeah that’s really cool place love it
Lots of clutter and it's sad 😔 that no one lives in this 😢 beautiful house 😢!!!

Patricia you should have been there. So cool!
Thats what I was talking about all of Antiques and they're just so beautiful Antiques throughout this house 🏠!!!
It's a shame SOMEONE isn't making money off all those antiques.
This place and its contents need to be saved and deemed historical .😊
I pray that you are not stealing from this beautiful home!!
The machine that has the wheel is a spinning wheel. It was used to put cotton or wool on a ball. The crocheted piece is called a doily. It was used to protect the wood on end tables. I like when you open cupboards. Wish you would show the dishes more. Maybe flip it over to see where it was made. The furniture is beautifully done. Very articulately made. Thx for an interesting tour. The game is backgammon I believe.
I am sure this house was beautiful in its day.
Hi Rick!❤ that’s a dooley and they probably stapled it on the back of the chair to protect it. Well Rick another great house you took us threw, so much old stuff still there, those old newspapers just hanging around geez I’ve never seen an old newspaper that old. And his woodworking is amazing. Thank you for taking us into such an incredible place
Doily
Ahhh thank you.
It’s actually a doily and yes it was a means to protect the fabric in a decorative way. That thing on the wall was where a big pipe connected to the stove would be placed and I believe it exited somewhere through the roof and pushed out smoke just like a chimney. This house is incredible!!
What on earth, is a Dooley? Never heard of that term. Is it East coast slang?
Doily. Yes, it's a chick item. Like pillow shams and throw pillows!
Those were drafting tools on the work table. Mirrors were leaded, thus the weight.
Spinning wheels, to spin threads.
There is a smaller, older house in New Jersey. It is called “the William Green house”, and was built by William Green who died in 1722. The house is now owned by Monmouth College, New Jersey.
After living there he built another home several miles away near a river before he died.
The metal covering use to have a pipe from a different wood stove back in the day.
Really cool house. That was a magnifying glass not a microscope. The spinning wheel is a walking wheel aka great wheel. There would have been a spindle on the end. You do not sit on it. You stand and turn the wheel by hand while pulling back on the yarn you are spinning then you turn the wheel the other way and walk forward to get the yarn on the spindle then repeat. What you called a rake is a grain cradle scythe. It was used by hand and was used to cut and harvest grains like wheat. That piece is worth some money.

That was cattails on the wallpaper downstairs. The mattresses are more modern. Not anything like what they used in the 1800's and early 1900's. I hope he didn't take that gun from there. Looks like a bathroom off of the kitchen.
Architects used the scribe set. Probably still do.
They must have cut up their own meat that’s a meat saw in the sink.
The simplicity pattern instructions in the closet.
That’s an old Sithe. The beds were cotton mattresses
The pommel horse was a cobblers tool
To Scetchy and I cannot believe the shape of the attic so good shape it's in
I love every season of the year. Here in The Netherland its 30c the last few days. So nice to chill out with a drink and watch this abandoned video in cold conditions
I love this house, but I wish you'd put up floor plans so we can get a feel for the layout. That second floor was wild.

I don't know how they could leave all that beautiful furniture behind. Did it have a kitchen?
At 14:35 it showed a glimpse of the kitchen, but not all of it.
We isn’t this house and it’s things preserved. Please someone protect it!!
Beautiful home with beautiful things left inside/wish I was there I probably be there for about 3 to 6months looking at everything wish I was there
Wowzers what a beautiful interior of this old house 🏚!!
Right?!
Interesting home but I suspect it was built much later than 1775. If you noticed the attic ceiling the lumber is milled, which I believe didn't happened back in 1775.

So many windows in each room 😊❤
Spinning wheel. This fsrm was self sustaining. They grew crops of corn, flax for linen, sheep for wool. They produced what they need and what they could sell at market. The women of the house made their cloths.
That is a spinning wheel to spin to make wool.
That's some great history, music, everything. Neat place.
The bells were for the horses.
I like that you can hear the cars driving by
Love old houses. Beautiful and sad at the same time. Wish you showed more of the kitchen. Great job and great fine.
Next time!
A couple of the beds were feather beds. They are so comfortable to sleep on. Thanks for this one.
Snow looks beautiful until it’s 20 ft tall 😅
You need to check out Lynnwood Hall in Philadelphia PA
Of course of course 😁
Pipe smoke goes out
What a beautiful house and it can still be saved too. Those wagon wheel things are spinning wheels for making yarns and thread. That piece in the attic is a weaving loom for creating fabric to be sewn into clothes or whatever is needed. Thanks for sharing and you have a great day with safe travels
Yes! Thank you!
Just imagine how I would feel owning this house 🏠!!!
I love this house
OMGGGGGG rick this was sooo amazing to step back in time everything was perfect i love all the historical news papers boook s etc and everything u can seee there im lost for words awesome video
Thanks Kim.
Hello from San Antonio,Texas ,Many years ago I asked my grandmother why is it that people never smiled in the photographs back in the days.She told me that it was very common for people to have bad teeth.She didn't even ponder on my question when i asked....she lived to be 95 years old & still had her teeth.
🤣🤣🤣 Henry F Miller
Watched a lot of abandoned videos. Never seen stuff this old be encapsulated! 😮
Thanks you
Exactly my thoughts.
That house looks like it could be fixed and live on again
That house 🏠 is still in good condition considering of the "Age "Of it... but most of all,I just ❤the Antiques inside of it 😢
Some of the rooms being small would have been for the house servants. At that period in time big houses had hired help and also slaves to do the farm work and house work.
Beautiful snow ❄️ in the front yard!!!
The best!
Hope someone can rescue this beautiful and spacious home. At least it doesn't appear that the roof has started to fail and leak, so the structure should still be sound and restorable.
