In today’s video we will be exploring an incredible abandoned time capsule 1800s farm house on the brink of collapse. The farm house dates back to the 1800s and has been passed down through generations within the same family, but has been empty and abandoned for as long as anyone can remember. The discreet old house sits back from the road and at the end of a long overgrown driveway. Somewhat hidden among the tall thick unmowed grass were several rows of razor sharp barbed wire fencing, strategically designed to deter any possible trespassers.
Time has not been very kind to the aging farm house, as it has fallen victim to none other than Mother Nature herself. Unfortunately, over the years nature has began to reclaim its course and being exposed to such harsh weather and brutal elements have completely ravaged the once thriving family home.
And worst of all, the days of the craftsmenship style beauty are certainly numbered now that a large section of the front facade has completely collapsed, exposing several rooms to the outdoor climate and pretty much sealing its fate of inevitable doom.
The collapsed wall has further caused extensive damage to the house and has now made it easy for anyone daring enough to enter the dangerous structure. Despite it being wide open for a number of years, unbelievably the home still contains nearly all of the furniture and belongings of the last family that had lived in the home.
As we wandered through the derelict home, our excitment grew with each step forward. In an upstairs bedroom, there was a bed, dresser, end tables, and yet another amroir, complete with various paintings and photographs still hanging on the walls. Shockingly, one of the bedroom walls was completely gone from the collapse years before.
In another upstairs room, a crumbling armoir held faded suits and other clothing. A tattered baby carriage sat facing the missing wall, two stories high and overlooking the former driveway. The farm house had truly been frozen in time and with all the family’s possessions still inside, including old family photographs, we were more determined than ever to help preserve the forgotten history within these walls.
