- Hendrysburg, Ohio....What Happened Here? This place is certainly looking a bit rough. Located in Belmont County, it looks like time stood still. Old abandoned houses, buildings, yet in some areas some really nice and well kept homes. It's a small area, but quite interesting! Let's take a drive and check it out!
I'm from Russia. I love watching videos like this with abandoned houses. they have their own atmosphere. I can imagine how people once lived in them, communicated with neighbors, and children ran around. It's amazing why all this was abandoned. Isn't that true in many states?
My father, brothers, sister, and I grew up in Hendrysburg. We all went to school here as did my father. He operated a filling station and an automobile repair shop and body shop here. Some people think the closing of the coal mines doomed the town but that’s incorrect. The town had been here and very prosperous for nearly 200 years which was nearly 120 years prior to the coal industry boom. The single greatest destroyer of the economy was the interstate coming through. Once that happened, malls began popping up within easy driving distance, local grocery stores were no longer needed. The school closed as did the post office. Everything slowly began becoming consolidated elsewhere. Then, we moved away after graduating school. It’s terribly sad to see this. My sister still lives here as does one of my nephews. It’s just heartbreaking to watch it go to ruin. I have a very detailed video from nearly 40 years prior to this one. I may try putting it onto this platform one day. Thanks for your video.
These videos constantly amaze me. You'll drive by 10 completely abandoned and decayed houses and then boom! A perfectly preserved and upkept house and property before it goes right back to the decay.... simply amazing...
True, I wonder how they could stand living next to that?
That is an interesting town. You can tell it’s had some very grand houses in its heyday.
This is a cute town just the same. Sad it's not doing well. Thank you for taking us along.
I would LOVE to live in this town, specially in this part 3:02. So wonderful place!
I love your videos. They are just raw unedited. Really appreciate you doing these.
Thanks so much for watching!
Yessss! He has a pretty good taste!!! He knows how to put up the things perfectly!! The cover of each video! The details of everything!
If you have food to eat, a roof over your head, clean water, medication, and clothing, then you have a home. Bless this town and these people. ❤😊
This town was farmland until strip mining happened. Most of the farmers were bought out by the coal company. Once the coal was dug out the area was abandoned.
Your house can look like it's ready to implode. But you got a new car parked in front
A true insight into a nowhere town.
Ya gotta do somethin' about the static!
Discomfort and fascination, that’s what I feel, excellent vidéo, merci.
Thanks for watching!
I grew up in this town and went to that 4 room school house for 7 grades! It was once a beautifully well kept town! The house I grew up in is in ruins! There are still a few well kept places, however most of the town is gone. 😢
Thank you, and please, don't stop! ☕🙋🏻♀️
Thank you so much for watching
Wow. Rural America is fading fast. Yet housing shortages and sky high rent in urban areas.
Because people don't build in rural America anymore
Really enjoy your videos to remind me of how blessed I am
What's so bad ? A little paint, some cleaning. Just rent to old folks with retirement income. Perfect.
Holy nikeee.. that's where my uncle bobby and aunt paula live. They don't have a code enforcement. I see his house but not his roadside stand. He sells comic books...
Old houses need lots of money to keep them in repair. I wonder about the large number of pickup trucks that are expensive
and the dilapidated houses. This place is sad.
thanks for the tag along
Thanks for watching!
No commercial downtown shopping area ? No gas, no groceries, no restaurants, no schools, no churches, no businesses of any kind....yikes
The best way to live
Thank You for sharing video..
Why is anybody to explain to us about the abonded houses?
Watch the comments section, people who have direct knowledge of the area can give useful background information.
Hendrysburg looks to have been a small Victorian town with updates as years passed on.. River along side a long winding road I can imagine.., at marker 2:56 looks similar to Bristol PA. a few homes small businesses one long stretched roads way. It's home ❤️ for sure
Thank you for your time, stay safe in your travels ✌🏽
Where are the people? Not a soul around. Lots of fairly recent vehicles though. America the beautiful (sigh)
A town that always fascinsted me. It was once a fairly busy old National Road town. It had one of those old brick tavern/hotels the National Road was famous for. Most of it is gone. Started to decline after they strip mined all around it. Most people sold out and left in the late 60s/early 70s .
I'd move there. Seems quiet.
Last week I went through my old hometown of Springfield Colorado and almost cried, same thing
The yellow house was nice.
I think I just saw a cute little school........
👍👍👍
Thanks!
Thank you so much Susan!
Coal mining town. Once was..
The main drag was old US 40, The national road . I 70 runs along side the town.
It takes money to maintain and repair, these folks have little
This is where hop along Cassidy is from. There is a sign at the edge of town referring to that.
That’s correct!
Where do they work? Seems terribly run down, somepne keeps the grass down though.
Looks a lot like Silent Hill. I can feel the gloom through the computer screen.
looks like it slowly fades away ...
I’m sure the taxes are low some nice rides though
Who ownes all these derilect sites?
Where are the people 🤔
Do these people have any form of gov't, schools, stores, law enforcement. 😮
along old US 40.
Appears SOMEONE lives there, as dilapidated & depressing as it may be. Sorta like Detroit.
Belmont county is too hilly for anything other than mineral extraction and country music.
Looks like a very depressing place to live horrible
As a native of the State of Ohio, born (1955) and raised in Canton and spent the better part of my Life in that area (Stark County). I have witnessed the steady decline of Canton and Ohio in general, there are of course many reason for this decline. But the alarming thing is about these visuals is that things will never return to what they once were, this decline is not going away in fact things will get worse. I left Canton 20 years ago and never looked back, it no longer was the Town I loved and remembered..........
I grew up in a small town about 25 miles from this place. Never heard of it! Had to look it up.
same thing as detroit , memphis , philidelphia and all other big cities
beautiful
Gotta be a Dairy Queen nearby 🍦
I grew up in Barnesville, just south of here. My girl friend’s grandparents all were from here. It’s sad
All the new-ish vehicles
I drive by that town all the time going between Covington Ky. and Pittsburgh! It's right off the interstate!
