Cool that you went to Justine and Ron's wedding... What a nice beautiful thing to do. I love your channel and their channels too. Here we practice old school hand tool woodworking and I slowly remodeling our home to reflect a late 18th homestead, with everything made by hand, with only hand tools, by ourselves.
That is awesome… my hat is off to you!
@@TheWoodlandEscape our hats are equally off to you with the cabin, blacksmith shop, root cellar, and stockade. If we can ever travel we would love to see it all. One of these days I want to sew moccasins like you wear.
18th Century architecture is so very Lovely and warms my Heart! A time when everyone depended on everyone for all their needs. The Artisans and Craftsman and the Indigenous Peoples as well. The wilderness to the settlers was the beautifully balanced living room of the Native Peoples. They were Loving Stewards of the lands thousands of years. It is interesting how so many people today are looking to the Indigenous Elders for advice and guidance. Thanks So Much Peter and your Friends. So much history and stories in every life! Many Blessing Master of Kelly Station and Queen Kathy as well! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
And they have a lot of knowledge to share … I love having the opportunity to sit with the elders and simply listen.
@@TheWoodlandEscape Since I was a boy I’ve had elderly Pals Peter. Mr. Schultz next door, I learned so much from him and his dog Snookie. My Grandparents, married 72 years. I asked my Grandfather what it was like being married 70 years. He said the first 60 years is the roughest and the rest is all down hill. At 90 he also said, the months seem like weeks and the weeks like days. I think we can both relate, eh? I always say time flue like an arrow and fruit flies like a banana! And of course my Mentor, Old John Groff, born in 1889 and died 1981. Cabinetmaker, blacksmith, shoemaker and a rug weaver. There have been many more like Bill Brock, he and his family were mine too, when I lived in south east Kentucky for 3 years. Some old folks there who couldn’t read or write but were filled with wisdom. So indeed Peter and I’m sure Kathy as well, so much gained by listening. I’ve always felt very fortunate to have listened. My own parents as well. They were married 76 years. To have been a member of a Loving Family is one huge blessing! It’s about all these things and history that I do Love Woodland Escape! I can see Kelly Station as a gathering place of history and great people for a long time to come and I’m grateful. Kind Thanks, Many Blessings with Love, Light, Peace, Joy of Being and Good Ears! Good Shootin too! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
Thanks again for a wee bit of history, Peter. I try not to miss an episode of your channel.
I am flattered sir, thank you.
Very informative interview with these 2 men! I am glad you could meet them while at the wedding of Justine and Ron! Blessings.
Us too! Always a treat to chat with people with the same passion.
Enjoyed the site and the history as well. Thank you.
Our pleasure!
Peter and Kathy- >>>Dynamite job
And thank you for the kind words as well as your interest in our channel.
You bring history to life. Always love the wee bits of history shared in your videos.
Glad you like them! It is my passion to keep it alive and this format does give me that opportunity.
Ste Genevieve and its history seem fascinating.
Worth a visit for sure.
Appreciate your efforts and dedication! Great video, as always, and a couple of great guests. Glad you have been able to travel the states this year and bring us some places with wonderful history. Thanks again and keep your powder dry!
We are doing a fare bit of travel and meeting some amazing people. Watch yer top knot.
Yet another bucket list item. Thank you to Wade and Geoff for their hospitality to Peter and Cathy.
They were that and darn interesting fellows to boot!
Very nice video Peter. Have you heard much about Ashtabula, Ohio? It's got 18 covered bridges in the country. The oldest bridge was built in 1867. And the newest bridge is the longest in America. Opened in Oct 7, 2008. Total length 613. Jebediah Smith lived in Ashtabula and died Dec 5, 1849 age of 82 and was buried in that town.
Oh my, sounds like I need to make another trip, thanks for sharing
Well, WoodLan',
We don' abide no... 'emperors' 'round these here now parts...; yet,
You'll make about the BES' damn "Ambassodor" from The (Great!) North We Yanks never had!

Too funny!
Howdy Peter
Real nice story ... Love the house and the wood work ... I like that swivel " something " when you were in front of the fireplace ... What was the name of that ? Look like you could cook pizza !
It is a rotating trivet for placing cooking pots on.
I wish this was available when I was in high school! UA-cam was non existent, like the internet. History was my worst subject because they only had us memorizing dates of events and nothing really worthwhile. You bring it to life! I love this channel. Thank you!!!!
It is a pity how history has been taught. I believe there is subtle change for the better these days. Thank you so much for your interest and support.
Excellent Peter!
I thank you
Old Mines Missouri is quite a place as well. I hope more of the Illinois Country French will be passed on to new generations.
Wish we’d had more time to explore.
Top notch as always Peter.
You flatter me, sir.
Glad your out and about. The off grid cabin is ok.in Ohio. Take care and God bless. Man the fort.
Thanks 👍. There is no moss growing under our moccasins, lol.
I'm curious as to whom "the price" home or homestead belong to at one time my 2x+grandparents are prices'
Wow, fascinating to know ones family history. Thanks for sharing.
This vid was MUCH too short! I wanted a tour of this beautful room!

You live in a beautiful area!
Hi there from Lizton, Indiana. I've just recently subscribed to your channel and liking the contents of the videos. I caught hearing Pricket Fort. My ancestral grandfather, Col. Morgan Morgan helped build that fort. My family line begins with his son, David Morgan (AKA The Indian fighter).
Thanks for your support and for sharing your fascinating family background. You’ve got some pretty darn famous blood surging through your veins.
Really interesting, Peter. You and Catherine are certainly making your rounds. Oh, I do apologize, your highness, "The Emperor of the North!" 😊
Too funny.
Good morning from Syracuse NY brother and everyone else thank you for sharing your adventures and live history videos
Thanks for watching!
You are welcome my friend
Great video and wee bit of history lesson. Some of my relatives were from Missouri. Take care and keep your powder dry.
I found the state quite beautiful especially after miles of the flat lands in Illinois. Watch yer top knot.
Syracuse NY USA
That's about 40 minutes from me. Pretty land, not much else there.
Perhaps that’s why it’s so pretty. Thanks for watching.
Definitly on my "to do" list to visit Sainte-Geneviève region. I'll pay my membership for the COHT and help you with the northern branch AGM program, Mr the Emperor.
We’re looking to fill the Vice Emperor position …. Interested?
@@TheWoodlandEscape this is more than I dreamed of!!
