Beautiful old farmhouse! I am afraid no one remembers back to when this is grandma and grandpas home and the picnics and holidays held there ! That’s what always saddens me about these homes
Some middle aged guy's heart will be broken once he returns someday to see what happened to grandma's house.
Guys dont let your memories washed away, just give it to someone to live for free instead fo this. At least he ll take care of the property and the house.
Although this house has seemed to come
To a sad ending, I can’t help but love the old details such as the woodwork and the piping through the windows..I would have loved to seen it in all its glory. Even better to see it restored..the money it would probably take is unthinkable. Good work man, keep hunting
There are Web sites that detail the Craftsman homes -- you might find this model listed.
I’m 54 and have scars on my knees from my uncles home that had one of those floor furnaces always tripped and landed knee first on the grate! All us first cousins have the same scared up knees lol !
i am 52 not much younger then you i felt the same thing to along with the scars to prove it HURT LIKE HELL !!!
YES THEM GREAT OLD DAYS ! ? STILL FEELS AT TIMES LIKE IT ONLY HAPPENED LAST WEEK!!!!!LOL!!!!
COW!!! Hey Lilly your beautiful be safe! looks like Lilly needs a camera too!! Good explore! Montgomery Ward vibrating belt OMG that is soooooo old!!!
That would be awesome. Put the Go-pro on Lily!
No matter what abandon property I see I always see salvageable stuff. It's really a shame to see it go to waste. Back in the day i bet it was great coming home to this beautiful structure.
Well done...I sure hope you rewarded Lilly with a big bowl of cool water!
Personally, I think that farm could be bought and revived. My family helped some friends of ours from church gut an old abandoned farmhouse they purchased from another church family. Hippies had been living in it with their goats in the kitchen, after the barn had collapsed. What a mess! There was two feet of bat guano in the attic between the rafters! There were whole newspapers and old clothes stuffed between the wall studs as insulation. There was a small dirt-walled root cellar underneath the kitchen. The barn was connected to the house by a breezeway. And there was rusty horse- drawn farm equipment abandoned and overgrown in the meadow. We gutted the house from rafters, to studs to floor joists. My little brother stepped on a pile of debris, and he fell halfway through a passive heating vent left open in the floor. He stopped at his armpits! Damn! Before the days of instagram and camera phones! It turns out that the house was originally a log home, that was added on to in good years. A Goodyear home. It was in the same condition as that gambrel-roofed house when we first walked in. Now the house is beautiful. A good foundation, a good well, good bones to the house. That's a rebuildable location.
That driveway is gorgeous. Imagine the lives that were lived there.
Thank you for being so very thorough. I appreciate close ups of old wall paper and labels of the items left in cabinets. I don't see anything wrong with taking Lilly in, either, because animals are smart about their surroundings, and anyhow, they can step in glass or on a nail or get bitten by a wasp anywhere outside. They don't require constant supervision like human toddlers!
It seems that the old woman died, and so very sad that no one who knew her cared enough at least to empty her refrigerator and pack up her stuff--everything was left as is. The world can be a cold, lonely place for someone who outlives their friends and close relatives.
That old massage belt was funny. My grandmother had one. She called it a belly shaker. Was supposed to make you lose weight. A 60's idea. Hope Lilly didn't cut her paws in that place. I worried about that. Liked the way the house looked on the outside and the driveway was a dream. Thanks for sharing. Lilly was cute🐱
My favorite farm tour so far! Love the thought that went into the design of the house. It has a lovely roof design! Very functional storage throughout, the style in the stairwell, the (leaded?) glass window designs, the pass-through, built-in China cabinet....all of it points to a home designed to function efficiently. Small space design! I sympathize with the massive amount of books. I'm a lifelong bookaholic, but have been thinning out my books! Upstairs--maybe the lady of the house had a sewing/craft space? Thanks for a great tour, and Lily is just beautiful!
Thats what I saw there was a sewing machine up there, kept looking for a mannequin. I imagine that long table up there was for quilting. Sadly as you get older stairs are not so easy to go up and down. Books I love to read but have always been "Read them and pass them on" not a person who rereads books.. my sister on the other hand, Oh my! She has storage tubs full of books she's already read, all the way to the ceiling in their basement. Same with DVD's I watch them and pass them on buy all my books and DVD's used to begin with. I have a lot of stuff too old photo albums that belonged to husbands parents we haven't looked at them in 10 plus years husband said burn them when I'm gone which I will do sort out ones I want to keep but so many of people neither of us even know.

Excellent video as always. Loved seeing Lily, she’s adorable! Nothing wrong with letting her explore at her own comfort level 🙂
Lilly is adorable! You can always say she took off and you ran after her.
Lobed your special guest.Lilly! Looked like she had fun roaming around in places you couldn't get to! And yes I agree with the others could you please start wearing a mask wh you go in places like these
it look's like an old Sears house by looking at the structure of the exterior, people order homes and build them back in the day around 1880's by 1940's by department store catalogs. I start watching your videos today and just subscribed you, keep them up and love your cute doggy! ;)
Love watching your trips to abandoned places and love seeing your four legged friend with you 🐶😊
Nice to see you brought your supervisor along on this one! I have a big baby that looks just like her lol
Noticed a name on something and just from googling around the husband died in 1980.. can’t seem to find the wife’s information. Great find! Too bad people have destroyed it! Could have been a great time capsule. Thanks for posting!
Thank you for the info and for watching :)
If only I had researched the names the first time I visited...I would have been interested in visiting her and giving you guys more information on this property! Darn!!
Just because a magazine has a date on it doesn't mean someone was living there at that time. Family may have brought boxes of stuff to store in the old family home.
The house I live in now used to have one of those furnaces. They get so warm. My room was always FREEZING so I would go and sit in the living room wrapped in a blanket right next to the furnace lol
How sad! I bet it was a beauty at one point
You can almost imagine the sound of horse's hooves and carriage wheels or a model T going down roads such as that. Adore your choice in music! I would love to have lived back then in such a peaceful place. Must have been nice when it was a dairy farm. =)
The boots hanging there,my grandpa had a pair just like those when I was a kid on their farm. This place reminded me of my childhood. Cool video 👍
Wonderful old house. Too bad it's beyond repair. Great video!
I love that your dog goes where dad goes
Be careful of your fur baby when going into places like that, one explorer lost his dog because it drank antifreeze, he was to far from a vet to get it help. Awesome video!
I wonder what it was like the day the person left. Or the circumstances behind they're leaving. Did they know they were never coming back? They'd never see their home or belongings again. Looks like it was a quaint little home when it was new.
What an amazing house!!! Would love to have seen it in it’s prime. The China hutch is so cool! The ornate glass in the windows and the hutch doors should be “leaded glass” which was popular back then!
I love old country music, that’s all I listen to ❤️. Lilly is adorable ❤️. I’m guessing a hoarding situation. I hope you checked Lilly’s paws for broken glass! A clock built into the wall is something I’ve never seen. Different for sure. Thumbs up 👍
It would be so cool to see what a place like this would have looked like when it was brand new. My house was built in 1963 and in 100 years I wonder what it will look like.
I would love to have those windows I hope someone saves them. I would be so afraid to have Lily walking in there with all the broken glass and other nasty thinks to cut her feet. but it is a good find.
Lily is lovely!! I have a Lily. She's a black cat ;)
It’s really interesting to me to think that at some point this house was brand new… That a whole bunch of people at some point came together with materials and tools and plans and all of that and built the house… And they probably had a whole bottle of good expectation of a happy life They love their new house and went out and got furnishings or they had furnishings already from someplace else at any rate it took care to bring things didn’t set them up just so… And for a while it was a happy alive home… But then something happens maybe the people that old and had to live someplace else and I had to leave out and I thought they were doing goodbye putting chicken wire up animals out and probably had intentions of coming back but something must’ve happened to prevent that and now we got a tumble down disaster.
Sometimes I look at my apartment and I look at all the stuff that my family has accumulated… And I think wow where were all of this stuff be in Some large number of years? And then it kind of makes you step back and think is it really necessary to go out and spend money and acquire all of this cheap stuff? I don’t know I guess I’m feeling melancholy today. I just wonder what will urban exploration with like 50 or 60 or 80 years from now? Probably quite a lot like scrolling through your local garbage dumpvv
I appreciate the comment and I think the exact same things. At some point, these homes were hustling and bustling with life. Kids, a family, pets. Read the description on my channel. That pretty much describes it. Sad.
I try to picture how my house will look in 100 years. It will probably be abandoned or demolished.
It's like a glimpse into the void. A snapshot of life after life and it's often ugly and dirty but strangely poetic and beautiful. Seeing pictures sag on walls, and the earth reclaiming itself pulling the building into it. I always stop in awe at the entropy of life and how powerful and amazing it really is.
I think these same things too...so much stuff...makes a person really think about want versus need.
My house won’t stand the test of time.
Once again u did it yeah! Good fine. My thoughts maybe at one time there was a man of the house he probably died n she was alone to tend for herself years go by possibly she died n maybe in ther house who knows. Sad part family or friends just let everything to fall apart. Just guessing here.
It was great meeting Lily she’s a beauty. Oh by the way the glass u saw in the Windows is called lead glass. I have an old library book case n the doors to it is all lead glass. It’s pretty cool. U got my vote
Thank you Farm Hunter!
ANOTHER AWESOME VIDEO!
You betcha!! 😀
Great video thanks for sharing, if it were me I would bring my dog to, it's not safe to go alone,
what a cool find. I wish I could find houses like this in florida
Lily is beautiful. That house must have been stunning once. Tyvm for posting
When you first get a glimpse of the house you think oh wow..but the inside is such a mess..you definitely are dedicated to climb all around in there...Love your little partner Lily..She's doing a great job...I definitely want to see more of your adventures...how long have you been doing this. I enjoyed this so thanks farm hunter..stay safe
It has that ceiling because during its last use it was prone to water damage; that type of ceiling is cheap and easy to replace in the event of roof leaks. Eventually of course you would start rotting structure and floors and it would have to be abandoned. 9:13
Nice video, interesting old house (l like your other videos too). But I'm wondering, how many old house explorers have contracted hantavirus from being exposed to rodent feces dust in those old buildings? I know it's very prevalent out west, and no one would dare go into an old building like that without a respirator. One of my parents friends who was an electrician (in Colorado), was hired to re-wire an old house, and he inhaled some of the dust in there, and was dead in three days from hantavirus. Just wondering if that is a concern for you in your part of the country?
Also, I noticed rock wool insulation in that house. It was used a lot back in the '70's as a cheap, blown-in insulation. It's nasty stuff if you inhale the dust, or even get it on your skin. It's basically just loosely crumbled fiberglass and it's no good in your lungs, the micro fibers stick in, and do not come out.
He's in MN. Hantavirus isn't a concern in that area although there is a similar, less deadly disease from another type of rodent in the upper midwest.
There is also a sickness that you can get from raccoon feces. Terrible stuff. But that insulation could have been of the pulverized newspaper variety. My parents had that blown into their bathroom rafters in our second floor dormer. When they pulled down the ceiling during the remodel, they were buried up to their knees in newspaper insulation.
Lily is the star of the show❤
Good work FH! Looking forward to your next one!
I think you should go live with these so if you fall through at least someone knows where you are! Be safe my man! Lily should have booties on.
Lilly is just beautiful.
Weird, calendar's from 1997, but the Kelogg's expired in 1991. Who would keep 6 year old cereal?? A good estimate would be the dates on the items inside the fridge. Love this house, am so curious about its information. Do you research all the houses at all? u can probably find records of it.
Because they don't make 18 inch to two foot wide, 2 inch thick, 18 foot long boards at lumber mills anymore. Trees are seldom that big anymore.
intersting find. Especially the old medicine bottles and the clock on the wall. Lily is just adoreable 🐶💖
Looks like grandma and grandpa died and none of the family had time, money or desire to put the effort into cleaning it all up and getting rid of the property. This happens often, as we see.
I know many abandoned homes on farms in Wisconsin. Mostly they are old farmers homes but the farmstead has passed on to the next and then the next generation who already has there own home near by or on another part of the property and they just farm the the tillable acreage and let the rest be. My brother in law and his wife just bought back his grandparents farm that has been out of the family a number of years. They will tear down the old home and build a new one. That was they deal he made with her. It is livable but a new family wants a new home. All the old buildings are there and they will keep and use most of them.
Everyone complaining about the dog going inside the house: Dogs can cut their paws literally everywhere they go. There are sharp objects and pieces of glass outside in fields and parks and streets. So if you're such a dog lover better wrap your pooch up in bubblewrap before they go anywhere. Better even, never let them go outside except on your fluffy living room carpet. Stop trying to tell everyone how to take care of their animals. Bunch of snot-nosed crybabies.
They're also more likely to hurt their paws while running. They usually don't get hurt just walking around.
We had one of those floor mounted heaters in Crocker MO when I was a child in the 70s.
Aw yr doggie is so c u t e! Thanks so interesting to watch!!!
Great find!!! I love Lilly! ❤️
The tunnel-like driveway with trees on both sides is very picturesque, but it must have been a pain to plow snow in the winter with the trees so close. BTW - "Barn" shaped roofs are called gambrel roofs.
Thank you for the information. I changed the titles accordingly 😀
The architectural style of houses with gambrel roof is Dutch Colonial. No need to change the title though. I only point it out because I watch several urbex channels and the explorers generally are interested in knowing the style and age of the places they visit. The patterns in the glass date this place to the "Victorian" era, roughly 1870 to 1900. The correct name for the architectural style of what we think of as "Victorian" houses is called Queen Anne. If you're interested in the age of the building, look for any exposed nails. Square nails are forged and date a place to pre 1900 when wire nails came into use.
I always remember what the Dutch colonial homes look like, because the view that you always see of the Amityville Horror house shows that it was one of these.
So both terms in regard to this location are correct.
Hi Farm Hunter, Love your videos. Do you ever try and find out the history of the properties that you visit? For those of who salvage, this house is candy. Have you ever been approached by the land owners.
Hi Lily!
Hi Lily! Perhaps you can persuade your dade to buy you a pair of doggy boots so when you go into these old homes your beautiful paws will be protected....just a thought.
In Canada we called that style of roof americana with hip roof on all four sides.greT video deo
Don’t break a leg -at least you have company!!
What once was and will never be again, a moment in time waiting for the langoliers to come erase it from existence, this looks much like our last abandoned explore, liked vid
Wow , what a cool spot , shame the house is so wrecked , great explore enjoyed it,
2 tone fridge. Bet it was considered cool in its day. But how in the heck did they reach the oven above the fridge?
I love the special guest!
L❤️ VE LILLY! Thank you for sharing. This is GrEaT !!! 💜
I like your dog Lily she seems very sweet
I don’t blame her for initially not wanting to go into this house… I would be afraid that some terrible hornets or wasps or angry bees or spiders or a whole bunch of snakes or something awful would come rolling out to greet me
please tell me what state and town this is in, i would like too save this house. jarrod..
I don't know that you'll see this, but, first, thanks for the great explores, and second, please, please be careful!!! Gloves, mask, and tell people where you are. It's always a good idea to take the dog with, just in case you might run into someone.... SDK
Hello Lily!!! You are so sweet looking! You look like you are ready to catch a rodent or two, LOL!!!
Love your partner, Lilly, another good explore.
In stripping that home's roof, you could replace those sheathing boards with 3/4 inch plywood, and do the same with the outer walls, and the subflooring. Whatever good wood is left over, is likely old-growth lumber from the forests of the great white north, and can be used in refurbishing the kitchen cabinets and such built-in furniture as that.
Found it!!! Thanks.
Crisco, it's digestible! Lol
I read that the same time you did haha
Please put boots on Lily if you are going to allow her to go in and/or around these buildings. Even on the outside, there are, many times, old nails and broken glass, and inside, well, you can't see the floor, so you have no idea WHAT is there. She could get something on her feet and lick it off later. Also, please use a mask and gloves for yourself. There is mold, asbestos, and insulation, and once you get any of that in your lungs, you'll have problems for a very long time. This was a great explore, thanks, and I love Lily
In the old house I rent there's a built in clock like the one at 16:09, It used to house miners back when this area had iron mines.
Seems to be that there are a lot of cases where there is accumulations of lots of crap in abandoned places. Even in cases of people still living in homes it seems there is a lot of hoarding in Minnesota. Seems to run in my family too.
Absolutely not trying to turn this amazing documentation of history into a ghost hunt, but did anyone else hear the lady’s laugh at 12:10?
True story i knew this old man he had over 100 house's full of junk? He drive hours to get to some of the house's just to full it up with junk in Ontario
You could build 4 foot high knee walls on the second floor, so that there would be closet space in all the rooms. And rebuild the roof with Attic-In-Truss trusses, so that there would be closet and drawer spaces between the roof rafters in the attic. Because my Grandmother never had enough useable space in her attic's East Room. She finished that room with wallpapered ceilings and a red & white checkered carpet pattern, linoleum tiled floor. That space was a playroom that my Mom and two Aunts used, then my six older cousins, then my two brothers and I used for games and coloring books with 30 year old crayons. Green and beige Army men, and rides on the antique Electrolux tank-type vacuum cleaner. Kids today don't know what they're missing, because all vacuums are fragile plastic, now. They might look like space guns, but you can't ride 'em like a train.
Very very common and typical in rural north america. Farm sizes get bigger as neighbours grow old die or sell out. Farmland is purchased with the farm yard included bu generally the yard is left unoccupied and mostly abandoned or used as storage.
This lady likely was very elderly. Died here. And estate and land sold. Literally hundreds of thousands of farms like this have been abandoned since the 1930's. Everyone likes to make a big deal about the rust belt cities etc. But rural north america isn't much different. These remaining places are only seen by a few and are scattered everywhere and watched over by the locals.
It always looks as if someone was trying to organize and move stuff. Often boxes filled like they were going to move them then they just forgot.
The vandals out did their selves here.
That for sure!! As I am sure things were not scattered about like they are...such fools they are...no respect!
Love Lily...she's the boss!
Lol- you and Pam have the same emphasis on the word "Junk". I am subscribing now
Junque then. Classier.
I'm guessing this is in the states somewhere not sure but where I'm from is Saskatchewan Canada the countryside is pretty much identical to your old house locations. I must say what a petty looking house out in the bush as well. Happy and safe rooting to you
Sorry I ment say happy and safe exploring to you
It's in Minnesota
Your dog Lily is smart she didn’t want to go in!
How do you use an oven on top of a refrigerator? Burn your arms on the door trying to get stuff out!
I beg to differ on hoaders! Think of the times people did not throw things away because at some point and time you may need it. Alot of these people in the upper midwest grew up during the depression.
I think they were born of the 1920's or maybe the teens. They got old and got ill and eventualy died . The sad part is to see the heart and pride of their home go to ruin.
where is it located if i may ask... i atleast like know where you look for things. atleast near a town. i don't care exactly where its at... but i am just totally blinded if you don;'t say atleast where its located at... thank you.
People who do this, should draw out the floor plans of these old houses. They don't make them like they use to.
I really like your video's but why would you take your dog into a place like that where it could step on broken glass or fall thru the floor? Not cool man
Agreed!!
My dog is Lilly, same marking
was the oven on top of the fridge and too high to reach?
If you are going to take Lily into these places, please get her into some boots. They have great working dog boots at Ruffwear.com I have several pair for my own dogs, or try Muttluks.com, She is lovely. Please use gloves and shoes which you disinfect before you get into the car, as well as a mask. You all think you are invincible, until you find out otherwise, then sadly it's too late. I am enjoying your video's, you are calm, and take your time. I wish you had brought the poor dead and headless dog up and buried him, :-( At some point, would you consider doing a kennel and stable? Thanks, kiddo.
Lol stare down with the cow and you won 🤣
You cant really hear but Lily was growling at the cow haha
All i could think about was some glass or a nail in your cute dog's paw 😞 Hoping she was alright!
is this minnesota?
Lily is a sweetie
Pretty sure it was an amazing house 20 years ago
Strange to have a wall oven ABOVE the fridge...
