LOG CABIN FOUND! 200 YEARS OF HISTORY EXPLORED IN THE MYSTERIOUS COVE BASIN! (Exclusive Access)

- Опубліковано 27 гру 2024
- In this Adventures into History video, we journey deep into the Cove district of Meriwether County, Georgia, to uncover the rich and mysterious history of this unique region. Known as “The Cove,” this area along the western banks of the Flint River is believed to be the impact site of a massive meteorite millions of years ago, creating a striking topographic anomaly that has influenced both the natural landscape and human history.
In this episode, I’m joined by Roland Brown, a Cove historian with deep roots tracing back to the very first settlers of the area, and Steve Melton, another descendant of The Cove. Together, we explore early settlement houses, old cemeteries, and the hidden history of a place where people have historically kept to themselves. Join us as we gain exclusive access to the stories and secrets of The Cove-a place where history lives on, quietly nestled in the rugged beauty of Pine Mountain and Oak Mountain, forming a picturesque basin that has remained largely unchanged for generations.
Stay tuned for part 2 of our epic journey into the Cove!

Good to see Mr. Dan again.
This is totally cool, Robert, that Mr. Brown and his wife live in his family's ancestral cabin that wasn't taken out by the Civil War and remains on its original land! What a treasure this man and his family are! I pray that the book of records that he was reading from somehow stays intact as it is truly a wealth of knowledge about the Cove. Can't wait for Part 2!
I love the way that gentleman speaks! So great to hear someone speak with respect, reverence and accent.
What a treasure Mr. Brown is!!! Thank you to him and Mr. Melton for sharing their family history.
I agree.
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you to the gentlemen for telling the stories of their families and the history of that area. I never get tired of the old stories and seeing actual old buildings where the history of the people happened. It's so important to write down things as they happen for future generations to know about. I think it was common for most families to have many children. Especially if the first wife died and the man got married again. Thank you, Robert for this great video. Can't wait for part 2.
Love the history❤
Wow! I totally enjoyed this video.Dan thank you for mentioning the Native Americans when they were living and growing in the area.
I love listening to "old timers" talk about the old days...keeping folks' memories alive. You know Mr. Brown was in hog heaven talking to y'all! Great work, Robert.
I could watch these all day.
SO HAPPY to see Dan!!! I have missed you and your amazing knowledge.
Mr, Roland Brown is a walking book of knowledge. I pray Mr. Brown will be around a lot longer as well as Mr. Dan. Thanks to everyone that contributed to making this wonderful video, I love it.
Super awesome video! I’m 71 and I wish I could remember names and dates like this man. He’s awesome! I really enjoyed your video Robert. Thanks
Tell Mr Dan, he ain't the only one. I still have to pull back my hand to keep from wavin'.
Roland Brown is a Cove treasure.
Thank you for keeping our Georgia history alive through these videos!
Thank you for saving the historical buildings and cemeteries.
It's amazing how well this family has kept the names and places of their ancestors alive. That's a great honor to both the ancestors and their descendants especially since on this channel you come across so many lonely fieldstones marking the graves of the unknown.
This was the best video I could watch and listen to these men tell all about the history here. I think this area called the cove is the most beautiful area in Georgia.
Fabulous seeing people that still have command of such detailed information on their family history.
It is also wonderful seeing History Man Dan out and about!
Great to see Dan again! Looking forward to the series. Thanks!
Exceptional in content and family history! So few people know all the details of their beginnings. The whole area is beautiful. The Cove is really unusual. Amazing details, more learning of places and times. You always do it so well, Robert. It is so like my own heritage in southeastern Kentucky. As my folks would say, "It's been many a year since I've heared (heard) tell of a room that travelers was welcome to stay the night, and that sort of lock, seen them many a time. Feeding folks that you had no idee (idea) bout, never had their acquaintance, but they is all welcome." I am quoting straight out of the vernacular of SE KY, with love and respect, I sure miss it. Such a great house, so like one of my own old farm place. And so many children, but you know it was common place then, my great grandmother said that they had to furnish their own farm hands, and they sure did. I could go on and on, just know it is a wonderful video, Robert. Excellent sound, shooting and content! ❣👍❣👍
I always get a twinge of nostalgia with these old homesites. Makes me miss those days. Even tho it wasn't easy and they worked hard, they didn't know anything else. That's just what you did. I'd love to be a fly on a wall and see how they spent their days.
Loved the well, that draws water even today!☺️
Anyway, I loved every part of this video. The grave houses are fantastic. So well kept up. I love that there are even photos. A lot of tender loving care goes into the restoration and preservation of these marvelous sites.☺️
THIS VID IS PRICELESS, WHAT A PLEASURE TO SEE HOW THESE GOOD PEOPLE LIVED BACK THEN. THANKS FOR preserving history.
I love this history. Being from nearby Manchester we rode through the Cove many times and still do take the scenic route through the Cove occasionally. I've always wondered about this house. History is soon forgotten if we don't cherish the memories of the older generations. I really appreciate this channel and the work you do, and I love to see Dan on. My paw paw, James Brawner often talked about living next door to Roland Brown on North St in Manchester. Cool to finally see a face.
Can hardly wait for part 2
Loves this
Love hearing the older man talking. Awesome
An absolutely fascinating story about the early settlers and their families.

What an absolute pleasure to watch, and so much historical information. Thank you so much for taking the time to share.
That’s just amazing with the history I would love to be able to just sit in the house with my eyes closed and listen quietly. The stories that would be gently whispering in your ear. Thank you for sharing
This is so amazing to see a family preserve an awesome piece of history. I really enjoyed this . To know that the natives were also farming cash crops. I font believe I have ever seen such unique graves with the cabins on them and so well cared for. Keep Safe❤Keep Well❤

I could sit listen to the elders about how it was back in the day for hours. I love hearing the history on the town i was born raised and still live currently. My mom's family growing up here also & makes it more exciting my grandfather was a firefighter here back in the 40s-60s & some people still remember him lol my grandfather's sisters were nuns at the church here that just about everyone in my family was baptized married, funerals were held. I just love hearing that history of my town Brookline Massachusetts 👏👏👏
Love hearing all about the history of these areas. Keep the stories coming!

Great history lesson. Love how families stuck together back in those times and took care of each other even after death with some of those covered and protected grave houses.

Amazing, I’ve never seen graves with houses over them.
Very interesting video. Thank you for this.
A very interesting video. Looking forward to the next.
Dan mentioned "Cleebit" Springs - that's only the 2nd time I've heard that pronunciation of chalybeate (a mineral salt) & that was in South-Central Kentucky where my late hubby grew up. Really enjoyed this episode!! So impressed that so much family info from the Cove has been preserved! Thanks!!
That was awesome. It is very interesting to hear from the descendants of the original settlers. Living history. Thank you for taking us on this journey. I love Mr Dan's walking stick

What a gentleman full of memories. I enjoyed this video very much. My grandmother told me things to this day I remembered. I was very blessed to have listened to her. Wonder history of those beautiful log homes to be treasured. I will looking for part 2.
Thank you Roland and Steve for allowing us to take a look into your history, what a privilege. Certainly understand why you would keep it private but it is good to document your knowledge of this place. You're very fortunate that decendants have not sold off the land. Looks like a little slice of heaven.
Beautiful country
This is so fascinating! I love hearing the details of the history. I cannot wait for part two. Robert thank you for putting this out for everyone to enjoy
Oh my goodness I love this so much and you know we lived in Lagrange for years and did not know this. God bless all of you 🙏❤️

Now Robert, that was loads of fun. Good stories to hear and enjoy.
Robert, your videos are always so very interesting.
Fascinating !!!! What a wealth of knowledge of that area
I love this. I can trace my ancestors to England and Sweden. My immediate last 2 generations are only here in Utah.
