An almost forgotten village remains shattered along hillsides, tucked away in the quiet state of Pennsylvania. Since the late 1700s, Pennsylvania has hosted a heavy mining industry throughout the entire state. Mine operations for this particular, almost-forgotten town began in the late 1890s - when life was simpler and most of the country’s population would tend to worry and fear far less. This lack of worry may have been a large contributing factor to why this once beautiful town eventually fell apart, but let’s not point any fingers - thus was life, and life was good! However, it’s quite certain that very few - if any - could foresee this village’s eventual downfall until years later, when the simple, peaceful and close-knit town of Yellow Dog began to take a turn for the worst.
There’s a line of critters waiting for their snuggles. So cute. Great video. These coal miners are my ancestors. Always interested to see more of their way of life.
At 4:04 he "gets attacked" by a miniature mountain lion? Vicious criddler lol, meow
That is one kind man, telling by his animals. 💖
I would love to come live in the village, I would stay there permanently and live like it's 1910
I used to live in this village when I was a child. I remember a store being there, but do not recall the name of it.
I hope this town works out well. Its worth saving. The history especially...
The kitty and the doggy were just so cute I just could not! They were so adorable!!!
What a cute kitty!
Wow! Very interesting . And yes ,so much of our past is been lost to all the modern ways of life. But hard work build this country and we need to remember and honor it. Hope this project shows promise for the future.
Surprised how many of these company towns are still around in PA. Crazier still are places that aren't hooked up to city water or sewerage.
This would be a great background for a ghost story. A few months ago on a bike ride, I rode past this abandoned village and looked it up online, and since then I've been fascinated with the history of the place. I wish the new owners all the best, with the restoration efforts. I can imagine a movie being shot on site here, making use of the dilapidated state for the present and the restored state for scenes set in the past.
you are right. a lot of what they did back then is dying. my dad and gram taught me to can and for about 15 years I didn't even try to do it anymore then one day I looked around at our food and bought a pressure canner and haven't stopped since. I love the old ways wish I could learn more about it. i would love to visit the town just to walk through it and feel the nonchalant of back then
Fantastic idea. Cat 🐈 and dog 🐶 was heros this interview 😜. Regards from Poland 🇵🇱 Europe 🇪🇺
👍.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have a spectacular idea for this place the vintage car and antique motorcycle guys would love and flock to each year.
This little town is just a few minutes down the highway from me- I would dearly love to live in and restore one of these homes. I have seen them and they are pretty bad, but the locale is lovely. Anyone with any history background is aware of what the "company town" was like, in much of history. PA is full of mining towns-all kinds of mining- often the companies owned your soul. (listen to Tennessee Ernie Ford sing about it.) I wish that this would become a unique and quaint place. It is near to so many other small towns and villages and not far from the larger world. Composting toilets and many "tiny home" conveniences would work for those inhabiting and building. Hurray for this idea!
I'm all about preserving history! I pray it all is saved/restored.
very interesting story. hope this project goes through LOVE the idea of what to do with the buildings. And you have a kitty that LOVES you very much and doggy as well. LOVED it while you were talking they came right up like NOTHING was going on.. sweet kitty ..
Aw see, dogs and cats can get along ! So cute : ) Looks like a great place. PA has so much history in mining. Rough life, great people.
My first memories were in that village ❤ I hope to see it alive again
This guy who runs the town has a good concept for those who are willing to learn the old ways of life. I never knew the place existed when I lived in Baltimore. I and friends would had traveled there to visit .
i live in Pittsburgh, i wonder if they do tours of the place love to see it
Great project for Sustainable Tourism history to rescue old school life style , and most importantly appreciation to our ancestors hard work .I would like to know as a followers how we can help this teacher to go foward with his idea??
Very interesting video. Fantastic idea...we can not think about future without knowing history..
Wonderful for you. I wish you all the best. This is something that should be done around the country. We need to treasure our older homes and bring back the skills of by gone days. I can't wait til the project is complete. I will definitely come support the local crafts people.
The wife and I live in the area and just took a drive out that way on Monday. There is potential to fulfill the vision the fellow has and that would be a good thing. The water and sewage issue will be the biggest obstacle.
This is such a cool idea. Also, someone mentioned doing different ones all over the US, which is also a great idea. These houses may not even have lead based paint if they were last painted long enough ago. Hope it is still going. An update would be wonderful.
Wow what a wonderful idea
Would love to be part of a community "village" like that
Agree with some of the comments about water and sewage being an issue
Although with work it could be worked out
Including introducing septic tanks for sewage
Absolutely Amazing, I love the idea of everything and I look forward to learning more about yellow dog, PA. I just moved to an area that is similar to yellow dog and I would like to help to have this city do the same considering I came from the city life in Philadelphia PA where there was a different life from this. I am hoping to have my children embrace this life and take advantage of all the amazing opportunities.
Wonderful dream. I hope you continue to lead and keep your vision alive. I wish I could be part of this.
Yellow Dog (aka Shadyside Village) is literally condemned now. I live like 4 min from the place. A lot of the houses are asbestos sided. Falling a part, beyond disrepair. Right beside the place is the pump house with a dam. The creek is Buffalo Creek. I caught many trout there. I went past there over this summer, and there is nothing going on as far as restoring.
I hope and pray your plan works. Saving history is so important. I use to spend my grade school vacations in Shenandoah / Lost Creek #2 which was so much fun. Loved the swimming hole. I really hope you guys can pull this off, best of luck and God Bless...how are the dog and cat?
This place is beautiful. I would love to come see it.
How does one go about buying a home there ? We're interested.
The place is not worth fixing up. All of the houses are too far gone.
LOL
I would sleep in front of the house and during the day have fun exploring and hopefully finding some to eat
Re open the mine for tourists and you'll be set, I've been in the mines on the next hill over and there extremely fascinating
I would love to live in that Village it be so cool
Such a beautiful idea~
I love how the dog and cat just come up as the video continues. But its a shame these houses are abandoned. A lot of people dont rlly have homes and i hope these houses can b restored. Even if some are far too gone doesnt mean you still cant try achieving what you want to achieve. They all look lik lovely houses that want to hav people in them again. Hope this works out :) wish we can do the same to other abandoned places too instead of letting them deteriorate and rot away.
I would live and work there, gardens, canning, going back to hard work and simple things!
I watched a video of this place on another UA-cam channel that was at this village two weeks ago and sadly,it’s even worse now and the houses look almost beyond repair.The guy had a neat idea,it’s just too bad it didn’t happen.
I found this "village" last week while visiting my childhood summer camp right next door. Broken windows, moisture, AND more lead paint than any child could possibly eat? What a compelling offer for trained craftsman to move out to the middle of nowhere to teach obsolete skills! There is a point where the anticipated benefit of a project exceeds the costs required to complete it, and this place crossed that line decades ago...that's why they abandoned it.
Yes I agree. It is a noble idea and I respect that man for having it. But, sometimes the past is just better off left in the past
I just stumbled across your channel and I love your videos! They are very well done.
thank you Beth!

hey where do I sign up, it looks so lovely with great prospects, I wish you well my friend, good luck and I hope you have your dream granted as it's a worth while project.
I'm surprised, this village wouldn't be a far drive for me. I like it already.
Same, I live fairly close to this town. I tried driving there, but was deterred by the Blast Mining signs down the path my GPS wanted me to take
I've since driven there but the route I took was just outside the west end of Worthington on Yellow Dog Road. The village is about 2.5 miles southwest of Worthington. When I was there although I didn't stay for long I saw some horses in the neighborhood, a 1990s or early 2000s sedan parked outside one of the houses and clothes drying outside at another house near the top of the hill. There's also a Christian youth camp in the area.
I lived in yellow dog as a child Halloween will be 20 years that we moved from there. I have a lot of great memories from living there and made life long friends. I hope you can save it!
I was on you tube and saw a photographer filming this village before it wad bought. So why was so much left behind especially toys

Your thoughts are much appreciated Joe Meyer.
Glencoe Village in North Carolina accomplished this in a close way. For me, I would enjoy living there in Yellow Dog like it was 1910, acting the part for visitors would be such fun. Wonder how much one of the smaller homes would be.
The cat and dog were incredibly cute in the video.
I think this just awesome
I would love to visit this place!
Pretty cool idea!!!
I would definitely live there. :)
Very interesting, thank you for sharing this. I hope the guy's project succeeds!
This reminds me of that movie "The Village "
I love this ... how can I be apart of this community? I would learn to learn , and live here ...
I hope it works out . Shame about the windows .
Good luck with the village rebuild.
Wow great video and history ❤️ this thank you for showing this!
I find this admirable in every way. I am one who uses his hands daily. I constantly marvel at a man who cannot change a spare tire. Water and sewage issues were solved in ROMAN TIMES...they wont be an issue here either. All it takes is work...and sometimes money.
Sounds great, I hope it works. That area is rather pretty.
Any up-dates ? I'm looking at this in 2021, what's the status at the present time ?
The cat is a photo hog. Love his vision. I know a few people who to visit here. When can people visit?
Love the video and history thank you for posting.
I think it's a great thing to do.
I lived there for 20+ years from 1978 to 1998. It was a great little place to live until the previous owner sold it to complete idiots that let everything fall apart. Its way too far gone now to do anything about it anymore and it completely kills me inside. Everybody that lived there when it was closed down got forced out due to it
it is a complete dump now.
What a shame i would live there it's beautiful
Fantastic idea if they can pull it off.
Just subbed to you .. enjoying all your videos ty for sharing
I love the idea and the fact that you use the word "Village" if we as modern American can get to (back) to the "Village" way of like we could really reduce the size of government. Each village would indeed be its own governance. Mr. Meyer reply to me if there is anything I need/could do in becoming a member of "The Village". I am currently living in San Diego, CA
when is this place opening up as a resort and how much is the place renting want to know please let me know?????
My grandpa uncles and mom helped make that playground at the beginning and they made a water tank in the wood behind the house at the top
i'm currently in 7th grade and all we do is type on our laptops (all the time). but although we do now have a extended knowledge do to it, i honestly wish that my school did not have technology.
it's a historical places,it is good to be known and let all the houses stay that way..just need new paint,furnitures. i would love tonbuy ome of this house if i allowed to do so. its a peaceful place..you can stay there away from a modern life, switch off you phone,relax and get rid from the internet for a moment. boommm... a peaceful life! ;-)
come to coupon Pa we are still here
You live here in this beautiful village, my dream is to live somewhere like this away from psychos of the city
like a few others have asked where do I sign up, would love to be able to offer any help needed, been looking for something to do with my life
RICH DUDDY It's called Google. com
Sort of sad, sort of scary.
Good luck and hope it all works
I wanna live there
that is cool!
I wish you all good luck.
Bring in homeless Veterans, and teach them building trades, as they repair the homes.
Too bad the scumbags who vandalized the place weren't caught and made to repair it!
Peeling paint needing to be scraped off. How about the lead abatement required?
I got a bunch of old hardware.
i hope ican get out soon
The cat 🥹
A few old pics and very little info about history. Mostly about future plans.
They were probably tired of being called YELLOW DOGS.
So what ever happened? Did you get it restored?
interetsting
Hows it going?
We're is this place at. I want to see it. Buying a house seem nice there
Whats the location?
Hey, sign me up! My worry is the ability to attract young families needed to keep the community going, simply due to the potential for high exposure of lead, asbestos, or mining byproducts in the area. My younger two children have numerous side effects/disorders associated with lead exposure from inutero exposure at my previous job (I had no clue of the ramifications, thanks boss) and as infants through PreK we lived in an apartment that was "certified deleaded"(be careful, all these ghetto landlords do is paint over the leaded surface and call it safe.) I would want outside, reliable testing done to confirm the toxin load was equal to or lower than my current home, otherwise I am content to haul water, install solar panels, and learn every skill of house repair necessary. I can teach the community to knit, sew, can food for preservation, care for farm animals, ride horses, and more, I was a certified EMT so I bring some valuable skills. I think proper advertising would fill your imagined community.
updated ?
are you aloud to explore there
My family and I stopped by there last year while we were in PA (my grandma and dad lived there in 1983) they guy was friendly but only let us go into the one house.
i luke cool storys
Jessica Toy who were they ? I lived there then so I would definitely know them. Hard to not know everybody when the population was 130 people.
Ps ,I live in Wilkes Barre PA now current date please
Are people allowed to come and see the village ?
By scheduling yes
Seriously ,I mean it
What. a wonderful dream! How about a GoFundMe for this endeavor? I'll happily donate!
who does one talk to about going to see this place
So why did the people leave, and better yet, why did they leave so much junk behind all over their houses?
