Good morning Oh yeah, I spotted it prior to heading back to my car and I'm glad that I did. It's in really good shape and surrounded by nature made it quite beautiful! Thank you for watching!
there really is something special about seeing ruins or abandoned structures. Imagining how it used to look and the lives that were spent there. This hiking/ exploring thing is turning into a totally enjoyable hobby. 😁
I've been to Peace Valley Park hundreds of times before I made this video and I had no idea all of these ruins were there. Thank you for taking the time to comment!
The still at the end is timeless and really captures the beauty of the area. I just discovered your channel and I've enjoyed tagging along on the different hikes. New sub. Great work!
You were on the site of an old farm. The old farm lane also accesses the area you are in from Chapman Rd. I think that first collapsed structure you saw was a corn crib. It was still standing until it blew down in a storm about 5 years ago. Other farm structure foundations are near that by the edge of the field. Of course the brunt of what you came upon later was the big old barn. There used to he a huge 7 bedroom house too that got torn down some time in the 90's. If you look hard enough, you can find its foundations. The house sat between the barn and the springhouse back aways from a big black walnut tree - which still stands proudly.
@porkturtle8321 You just inspired me to go looking for the foundations....I live close by, so I'm sure I'll get back there again soon. I'm thinking in the winter when there's less cover would make the most sense.
Thank you for taking me along. I go to Peace Valley, but am unable to pursue the very things that you found. So, thank you! (and no need to edit out a thing). I hope you're ok, given the tumble you took.
Hi Eileen, I'm glad that you enjoyed the video and thank you for the concern. I was okay, just a look shook up after falling. I decided not to edit it out because it was sort of funny in a way...lol Thank you for watching, my friend!
oh yeah, it's one of my favorite places. Until recently, I pretty much kept to the bike trail around the lake...I was pleased to find there is so much more. Thank you for watching!
Hi John, It's a beautiful park and the loop around that lake is an awesome workout. I walk/run it often and usually see some wildlife while doing so. Blue Heron, Bald Eagle, and lots of deer. Thank you for watching, it's much apreciated. : )
When it used to snow around here, once I cross country skied around Peace Valley Park easily 30 years ago. Used to shore fish evenings at upper bridge end and saw Lansdale fireworks eastward over toward the dam. Used to a lot lol, before I had my family.
Nice video, wow you were off the beaten trail. I live about 4 miles from there. I been there many, many times biking or kayaking. It's a very nice place. We had many family picnics there too.
oh, yeah, it's a beautiful park I run and bike there often. Until recently, I had no idea how many dirt trails there were, and I was totally surprised when I found the old farmhouse. Thank you for watching!
Over 50 years ago that area had a small creek running down the center of the property. There was a Tri-squar boys camp in the middle of that sait property. At the West end a dam was formed. That boys camp was asked to vacate. I have seen Gene Autry there, Tex Riter and other cowboys at that time
Great info...I always enjoy learning from comments. Gene Autry and Tex Ritter, heh? Who would have ever thought that they visited this location at one time. Thank you for watching!
I thought that it might be a silo but someone else felt it wouldnt be that close to the home. Then again, I may have been in a barn next to the home. It seems as if you are quite familiar with the location, so yeah, it was a silo : ) Thanks for the comment!
Hi Robert, yeah and so few people know that it's there. Totally off trail and covered with brush. I think that I may go back in the winter when it's more visible. Thank you for watching!
Just moved here at swamp and saw mill and looking for a fishing spot. That's right down the road!!!!! Glad I found you're channel and happy as hell I can now go fishing in a beautiful looking area. Thanks 👍
You moved into a really nice area that offers a variety of things to do. I moved out of Philly in 2022 and love it here in Bucks County. Glad that you found my channel.... thank you for watching, my friend!
I ride my motorcycle out there a few times a year. It's a nice park. The iron that was mined there was used to make cannons and cannon balls during the Civil War. Supplying the north to help win the war. On a few occasions I've seen people metal detecting for artifacts from the war around the park.
It really is a nice park! Sort of a hidden gem that I don't think too many people from outside of the area know about. I didn't know about the iron being mined to make cannons and cannon balls. Always nice to learn from the comments. Thank you for watching!
Those mushrooms are one of the best choice edibles out there. They were perfect to harvest at that stage. Foragers love finding these and yes, they do taste and have texture like chicken.
later on that day, I saw a lot of them and there was a guy cutting them off and taking them. He looked happy! I'll have to try them next year. Thank you for watching!
Thanks Jenn! Go to peace valley quite often. I've always thought there has to be ruins here.. you see little hints of it throughout the park. Guess I'm going to try and find these in the near future.
The camp is not buried. It was to the west of where the dam is now. What used to he the mess hall/garage is now a maintenance builiding. The old pavillion is still there too, but now used as a storage shed.
If you’re looking for more old Chalfont history, check into Forest Park. There was an entrance off of Ferry road just after the bridge over Neshaminy Creek. That whole area around the bridge was allegedly an Indian burial ground. Forest Park was part of a loose network of amusement parks that sprung up in the suburbs about equidistant around Philly. They were on train lines and used to provide a place for Philly companies to send their employees for picnics and events. Other parks included: Willow Grove (where the mail is), and West Point Park (near Lansdale). There may still be some leftover ruins in Forest Park. In the fifties, they had a nice amusement area, paddle boats near the old dam, and a huge swimming pool. Swam there regularly. My dad was a life guard there.
The other entrance was a little further down the creek near the railroad tracks over Rt 202, just after County Line road Then there was Bartlesons General Store (intersection of Rt 152 and 202). It was the only place to find groceries before the large supermarkets sprang up. Dad and I used to get up at 3AM and deliver a carful of newspapers every Sunday morning. Also the POSA home for elderly vets across from St James Lutheran Church (Ferry Road and Rt 152), and the Internationally renowned greenhouses of Herman Hellberg, carnation grower. Located on Rt 152 just south of the water tower. Yeah, I lived in Chalfont in the 50s and 60s when it was still a very rural small town. Not so much today.
"G pop"? Grandfather? Oh yeah, there was a lot of history flooded over. From what I read a lot of mining at one time. Mostly silver and lead. Thank you for watching!
It occurs to me that carrying a wee camera drone would greatly aid these explorations: good way to explore those off-trail things and not risk sticker-bushes unless they seem really promising. I would LOVE to see top-down/plan footage of that big stone/cinderblock house. By the way, have you ever seen The Blair Witch Project? 😈
Hi Toby, A drone? YES!! I really need to invest in one and learn how to use. So often, I want to get an overview while exploring. Yes, it's been a while, but I saw it. I thought it was a clever and original.
@@jennsylvania1633 Hi Jen! DJI has a wonderful little drone called the Neo which is shockingly affordable for all it does (under $200 by itself, around 300 with a controller and extra batteries).
Y'know, you are absolutely right. I just went back and watched it. For whatever reason, I never saw the outline of the steps before. It was a fun explore for sure. I think maybe I'll go back in the winter when things are easier to see. Who knows, there may be a lot more back there. Thank you for the comment. : )
I believe the round structure in the ground was a well. Judging by the age of the original stonework on this site, I'm quite sure this property at one time had a stone, hand dug well/cistern.
@jennsylvania1633 A silo would not have been constructed right alongside the living structure. Attracted too many rodents. But a well would have been as close to house and kitchen as possible for convenience sake. I've rehabed a lot of stone farmhouses in eastern PA. and across in NJ.
Hi Richard. Yes, after I got home it looked it up and it's supposedly really tasty! I'll have to go back again this Autumn and hopefully find some to take home with me. Thank you for watching!

Hi Walter. I've been to Peace Valley Park hundreds of times. Usually running the paved trail around the lake.

Thank you for watching and for the comment. It means a lot to me. I've been watching your phenomenal videos for a couple years now. 😊
@jennsylvania1633 Let it be a surprise. People still live in some of the houses, but yes, it's historic, quaint, and a nice quiet spot on the way down to the river, Pt. Pleasant, Solebury, French town, Stockton, New Hope, Bowmans' Tower etc.
I grew up in Hilltown, watched the park get filled with water. They did that to supposedly have water for Limerick nuclear plant. But it was for water for central Montgomery and Bucks counties. Went to the Dump the Pump protests.

Hi Patrick, I entered the park near the boat launch parking area and turned right onto the bike trail and walked maybe a mile and half before turning onto a grass trail. From there I sort of just kept going onto dirt trails that I never knew where back there. North shore towards the east sounds about right. Thanks for watching!
Yeah, I later thought it might be a silo, but another viewer thought it would have been to close to the house. Which makes sense. He thought it might have been a well that has been filled in

Was raised in Chalfont in the 50s and 60s. I remember attending the YMCA Triangle day camp (now buried by the lake and the dam).
The camp is not buried. It was to the west of where the dam is now. What used to he the mess hall/garage is now a maintenance builiding. The old pavillion is still there too, but now used as a storage shed.
