VIRGINIA: Old Confederate Towns - What Are They Like Now? What I Saw

The house on Southernland St. On Zillow is priced at $230; thousand dollars ( rounded up).... Thanks for doing such a wonderful job at what you do Joe &Nic.... I'm always excited to watch your videos ❤ Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.... Be safe out there ❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼

Hello Joe. I enjoy the demographical, historical, etc, information you provide in your videos. In reference to this one, I am a native of Virginia and I appreciated the information you provided regarding what the African Americans experienced. I also appreciated you saying that history shouldn't be swept "under a rug". History (good or bad) needs to be disclosed.

Virginia is a pretty classy state. I drove through that state only once. I was impressed. :hand-pink-waving:

We LOVE living out here in the Southeast region. So many beautiful historic towns with lovely homes. The Danville house is listed on Zillow for $229,900 with 1965 sq ft of living space. Sounds like a bargain.

So cool to see the Yeatts tavern ..that is the original home of my family! The graveyard beside the home is the resting place of my 6x great grandparents. During the revolutionary war they would fix wagons, swap horses, and give a safe place for travelers to rest. After the war the state of Virginia gave land on top of the mountains to the Yeatts family for "what they did in the war". They also sent them a bill for "unpaid liquor tax"!! Lol One son moved to the mountain land and some of the family stayed close by but we are still in both places thriving. Whether you spell Yeatts with two T's or one... or you spell it Yates more than likely you can trace the family back to this place. There are Yeatts folks from here to Alaska and all points in between! Again so cool to turn on a video and see HOME!!

Joe And Nicole Thankyou for the ride. Happy holidays to you both. Watching now Well said "We learn from our mistakes" Dont sweep history under a rug.

Danville has a sizable population of historic preservationists. A lot of preservationists seem to move there and buy the great old houses due to the low prices.

I was born and raised in a small town and live here today. It’s called Abingdon,VA I love it and it’s a Historical town with Lots of History!

Being born in VA it is nice to see what it looks like. It is truly beautiful to look at and see. That one house at 151 Sutherland goes for about 230k 3 br/2ba built in 1911. Beautiful place 2 fireplaces and lots of space for a family. Thanks for sharing and you have safe travels. Happy Holidays to you and yours

That barn you passed with the round bales of hay at around the 4:00 mark was an old tobacco drying barn. When my Dad was a kid in Virginia, he and his siblings would pick tobacco - that's how they earned the money for their school clothes.

I just love your videos. You are really very good at it. Packed with info, anecdotes. William Gaddis has a novel called Carpenter's Gothic it's just wonderful to see it in context.

Now don't get me wrong, I do love Joan's version of the song, but Robbie Robertson wrote it and his group "The Band" played it first. Let's play song trivia!

Loved the confederate monument to the 53 Virginia Infantry . They lost 215 men as they followed General Armistead over the stone wall at Gettysburg . " Though they fell , they fell like stars , streaming splendor across the sky ." Another great video .

Chatham is very impressive. The clouds in the background were beautiful. A very nice place to live indeed and a town of honest people.

The Miller story is fascinating - I think it was on "60 Minutes" awhile back. I lived in VA for about a year on a work assignment. As a yankee/midwesterner I found it endlessly interesting. People were super nice; lots and lots of history. The drive on Highway 29 through the Shenandoah Valley is gorgeous.

You are such a blessing to show places in America that are affordable to live worth low crime when the country seems riddled and overcome absolute gems you reveal thank you

I looked up the Masonic temple and found out it has been sold and is going to be renamed River City Towers. It is going to be reopened at some point and is going to become a boutique hotel. River City Towers is scheduled for remodel and it is going to be a hotel (a resort I guess), probably with restaurant and bar of course! You should return when it is open and bring the wife and sample the new hotel, and what it will offer. The you can give a review afterwards on it!

This was absolutely fascinating, a mixture of Civil Rights history and the Confederacy. I think the images speak for themseles, especially the more affluent Chatham. Thankyou

Virginia is such a gorgeous state. I love the B&B in your opening. The Carpenter Gothic plantation is really cool. Chatham is gorgeous! Lovely homes. I do like Danville! I love the murals. 100% agree. You cannot sweep history under the rug! You must learn from it! Looking forward to NC

VA another gorgeous state packed full of history .I have family in Fredericksburg,
