You know, I know this isn't how it goes, but whenever I imagine a lake being built, I picture of course a dam being built but then after that, one lone guy with garden hose filling it up
Oh...I understand about lakes covering communities..Lake Kaweah in calif..near three rivers ,Ca ...covered 3 Ranches..when the lake is low you can see a couple of foundations....the one I like is a slab with steps.....great, now im homesick...I now reside in Missouri,thanks for enlightening me about Mo.
Love watching your videos and learning the history of these places! I'm glad you brought up Crisp and the creation of Stockton Lake. Many Ghost Towns were created because of the creation of Lake of the Ozarks, Table Rock Lake, and Lake Taneycomo.
Love the travels. I think school consolidation killed many small communities. I love the small towns who are proud of their heritage, that's becoming rare.
HEY!! This is super cool to see, I actually grew up on what was the old town of Flory, about a quarter mile up the road you’re on. The old Flory Mill was still standing when my parents put a house on the land. A few years ago my dad pulled it down so it didn’t fall into the road or hurt anybody, but the remnants are still there. So fascinating!
Rural delivery became fully implemented by the post office in 1906. After that, there was not the need for as many post offices as people no longer had to go to the physical post office to get their mail. This is why you see so many small rural community post offices closed after 1906 and the few years that followed.
Loved seeing those roads in the early part of this video. The road canopied by the trees as well as "wagon tracks" . We had several roads around the area where I grew up in Iowa. It was fun running up and down them, unless the ground was wet, then we avoided them like the plaque. It was no fun hiking out of a minimum maintenance road on foot. And just like the first video of the county, it is such a nice appearing area, so much grass lands and trees. And that wonderful lake sure adds to the area's appeal. Thank you for choosing to explore this county, and thanks for taking us along for the ride.
Wise guy you head west back to Kansas. Crawford county. Frontenac Kansas had a large Italian influence. In 1960 I went to meeker one room county school first grade. In 1961 it was consolidated into belle plain , Kansas schools.
All remains in the Crisp Cemetery were moved by the Corp of Engineers when Stockton Lake was in the plan. Several cemeteries were moved prior to the closing of the gates in Stockton Lake. Most of the buildings were moved. I am not sure if the Crisp Bridge is still there.
It's a shame you didn't see the Dudenville Cemetery before all of the beautiful old pine trees adorning the east, south and south east and some of the north were pushed out for a fenceline. A couple of the old cedars came down in storms and a tornado over the last four years. Still a nice well kept cemetery that is still used.
Thanks for making this video. I grew up on a farm just a couple miles NE of Dudenville and went to 4H meetings in Meinert. Graduated from Lockwood HS over 50 yrs ago.
I live in Dudenville. Spent a few Sundays in the Meinert Lutheran Church as a kid. Haubeins are a great family. I was in the same class in school with Kenny Haubein, David was my older brothers age, same church growing up. There were only 7 of us all through grade school. David is into some really good regenerative farming practices which is sorely needed. I really miss going into the store for combine parts so many decades ago.
It's a community building. Went to a fund raiser for a great little restaurant in town, Ken's Kafe. Live in Lockwood and the food is worth the trip. Building could also be a storm shelter, but not sure of that.
Interesting video. A lot of history. You kind of wonder if folks were migrating west and then one day said I’m not going any further and settled. There was some civil war history in Cedar county (Montevello) not sure about Dade county. You do a fine job of discovering history of days gone past
I think there were definitely a lot of those kinds of decisions back in the day throughout the Midwest. Had to be a very difficult time to figure out what to do! Thank you very much!!
Such a great area! Just think of all the places we might never see if you hadn't taken us on the journey! Excellent video! Glad you had second thoughts about jumping in the lake! 🦣🦣🦣
Boy that's the truth! I live in Dudenville, and just a week ago Sunday we had yet another storm, 80 to 110 mph winds, out of power for 3 days and 100+ degree heat. A tornado came right over my house in May 2019, then two days later another one came through and caught edge of Golden City, lots of damage, a few deaths. Every day is an adventure!
I live in dudenville. I live in that rock house next to the cemetery!! It’s a really beautiful town everyone knows each other there used to be a movie theater and a barber shop!
How can you go wrong with a county having a town named after the Dude. Always nice to go by the pool and see some heifers' enjoying a swim,. No life guards so they have to be careful. Udder wise they might be a cowtastrophic experience of bovine proportions. Glad to see you didn't horn in on their fun and chose to just hoof it on by.
Oh my word...lol. you know, My parents grew up in Stockton and Cedar County. They graduated in 59. My Dad sais he remembers alot of those small towns. Barton County had an old town called Zodiac. Maybe you can explore it sometime. It was a good size town once, and had mineral bath houses. It's beautiful over there.
I MANAGED TO WANDER THROUGH THERE A COUPLE OF TIMES! ONE TIME I WAS ASSIGNED TO MOVE 8 NEW TRUCKS FROM MY HOME AREA TO SPRINGFIELD MISSOURI! WITH EACH OF THESE I HAD A SMALL COMPANY OWNED TRUCK WITH A TOW BAR FOR MY RETURN TRIP BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP! I TRIED TO TAKE A DIFFERENT ROUTE EVERY TIME AND SEE A DIFFERENT SCENE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE RETURN PORTION OF EACH TRIP! I ALSO RAN MANY TRIPS WITH A ONE WAY RENT CAR TO WHERE I HAD TO GO, MAKING MANY GOOD “ BOONIE STOMPS”!!
We absolutely enjoyed this little Dade County road trip..... You got so close my Friend, you were within eyesight of Jasper County!! 🤓 Looming forward to the next time.....
Actually, I live in Dudenville and most of it is in Jasper County. Dade County Ave, which is also called Dade 2nd, County line, and Dade 1, (yeah, crazy), is the divind line between Dade County and Jasper County. Dade on the east side of the road, Jasper on the west. The school districts split there as well. The Methodist Church, no long used, is in Jasper County, as are the majority of the current residents.
@@desertheavens Thanks for the info! I noticed when I was doing research that it appeared to be mostly associated with Jasper County, but thought it would be interesting to include it in this video. If I ever do a video about Jasper I would certainly include it in that one too!
another grrrreat video. Dade County borders my Lawrence County on the north. My family name appears in the very first set of Deeds recorded when Lawrence County was formed in 1845. But even though we have been in this area for a long time, your video brought forward a number of things which I had no clue about. Thank you for all the work and then sharing.
It says public hunting on the gate at Crisp, I bet it would be allowed for you to look for/find the cemetery. They generally don't flood cemeteries and if it would flood then they move the graves.
@@TravelwithaWiseguy walmart sells rubber muck boots for cheap. I keep those and thick socks handy in my truck just in case. Carry a black plastic trash sack as well to put them in to keep a car/ rental clean. An army travels on its feet so I always carry extra pairs of dry socks.
@@TravelwithaWiseguy Get yourself a go bag and pack it with snacks, water/water filter straw, socks, a folding hand saw, camping knife and extra shoes and a emergency thermal blanket.

There's a Sons Creek and a Suns Creek. Wonder what the story is behind that, two brothers living one place, had bitter difference and other said "THAT'S IT, I'M MOVING AND STARTING MY OWN TOWN! AND IT WILL BE SUUUUNS!"
Haha I was wondering about all that too. I found a map with one of them but it was very confusing. I’d like someone who knows the history to comment on that!
One thing worth noting and looking into as you're in communities in certain portions of Western and Southern Missouri - from just before to after the Civil War, many communities were forced to vacate (or were destroyed) by either side for various reasons. This is a period when you'll probably note a move, closure, or re-opening of the post office and population shifts. Clay and Jackson counties are infamous for the Union forcing the entire counties to completely evacuate under penalty of death. After the war, during Reconstruction, up to WWI a lot of communities suffered and languished under punitive politics, etc.; and shifts of the populations towards KC, Springfield, Joplin, and a few others that became the regional manufacturing centers. Also, South-West Missouri has a lot of hidden, less well-known about communities that were pioneered by Jewish settlers alongside abolitionists (you should recognize by town/region names and the abundance of Baptist churches for the abolitionists); you might run across a few old turn of the century synagogues down there.
Yes I notice that and mentioned it in part 1 (I think). Very interesting how these communities rose, fell, and sometimes rose again as a different community in the same place. Thank you for the info!
Thanks for this. Three generations of Dicus’ made greenfield their homes starting around 1840’s. Only one generation, the youngest, would survive the war. And after migrating to So Cal at the turn of the last century, we are looking to return with my brother having already doing so.
Even though there wasn't much there, I really like Arcola. It looks like a beautiful place. I also think Dudenville looks nice. Thanks for the great tour of Dade Co. It was very interesting!
I live right in Dudenville. Sad that there are no businesses here anymore, not even the corner store. But, it's a great place to live, beautiful trees and pastures and great neighbors! Typical Missouri weather though......
@@desertheavens We live 10 miles from a town of about 22,000 in mid-Michigan. It's farm country and Amish country, and we love it. I could identify with your area immediately. An Amish family just built a house in the field behind us. 😊
Lol, my wife just said Quote-Who is that.... he just looks terrible with that beard. Thankfully, it's not just my beard now. Be good, be safe. very nice video (seriously).
@@TravelwithaWiseguy Looooool, be good, be safe. Oh yes, school starts on the 22nd and yes, it (the school ) is right acoss the street from us..... argh.
have one for u to look up cowgill mo its east of Kansas city mo en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowgill%2C_Missouri According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 0.24 square miles (0.62 km2), all land

@@TravelwithaWiseguy absolutely! I definitely enjoy your videos.
Loved the video!
Another great historical video. 🏆
Love the travels.
I think school consolidation killed many small communities. I love the small towns who are proud of their heritage, that's becoming rare.
I agree - glad there are still three stories to learn about!
So sad. It is hard to be proud of your heritage these days.
love all the history, thank you for all your doing , so interesting
Thank you! It was a fun county to explore!
Thomasville Mo has some great history, if you ever get in Missouri again take a look.

Oh wow thank you for commenting! Wish I would’ve seen the old mill!
I need a total of how many closed post offices you have mentioned in all these videos. SO eye opening. Thanks
Oh wow I’ve probably got hundreds but across the country would be thousands!

What happened to that house in Arcola that looked like it was buried to the roof?
I think it was just built into the hill. I actually grew up in an underground house that had the same idea but more so.
It's a community building. Went to a fund raiser for a great little restaurant in town, Ken's Kafe. Live in Lockwood and the food is worth the trip.
Building could also be a storm shelter, but not sure of that.
Great job, are the Amish showing up ?
Thank you. And I did not see any.
There are Amish / Mennonites near Jericho Springs, just west of here.
Really empty place, safe travels
That’s why I went there 😂😂
Have you felt that you might be in danger.
Not that I can think of.
