I grew up in Drexel Hill not far from the cabin and spent a lot of time playing in the Darby creek.. My friends and I "discovered" that cabin in the early 1970's before it was restored. We had no idea of the history of the cabin until many years later after it was restored.
Very cool - I've wanted to get there and check it out. If you ever have the time to head over the river to NJ there is a privately owned cabin in Swedesboro with the original section just predating this one c 1639. It had been up for sale but the owner Dorothy would let you tour it so long as you called and arranged a time to come by. It still had late 1500's metal work around the hearth that was believed to have been ballast brick from the Swedish fur ships.
@@Honeydwarf85 AFAIK you still can if you call Doris. I remember her husband passed a number of years back but it's still listed for sale so I assume she's still giving tours
Wow! This is so cool to see the original log cabin from so long ago. That Siegmund Lubin, his last name is also the name of my hometown, where l was born and l grew up, in Poland. This name is sill very dear to me🙂♥️, lots of memories...
I grew up in Drexel Hill in the 60's and 70's when I went to Kutztown State College. I remember the old trappers cabin. I also remember an old pre-revolutionary farmhouse that when torn down to make way for a school playground, it was discovered to have parts from the late 1600 s. I now live in Michigan and I appreciate the places and stories you share.
Nice history lesson Cliff! I lived in the Philadelphia area for many years and did not know about that cabin. There is a church just a few blocks from where I lived in N.E.Philadelphia that was built in 1698 and still in use. You ought to go visit it. (Just kidding 😂!) I know you don't like the city!
That was lovely thanks, such a beautiful cabin. Would love those log seats in my front yard. The creek really topped it off. Thanks so much. Please stay safe and take care
If you can, the tour is nice. The inside is awesome and the tour guides are great. They’ve got old tools from the period and info on what it would have been like to live there
Thanks again Woodmen!! Your actually pretty close to me I’m in Delaware!🤗 Both my Dad and brothers went to Drexel College for Engineering. I didn’t even know this cabin was actually this close to me. Might have to take a drive out there to show the kids. Love it when you discuss our history and of course sharing your knowledge of plants and animals. Will always be loyal fan my friend.🥰🤣❤️ Be safe! Thanks again
Lovely place. Thanks for the history lesson. (There was a creek behind the house where I grew up. And yes, listening to the creek at night was so peaceful.)
Hi Cliff, what a stunning little place to live, I can totally picture you living there, getting up in the morning and taking your coffee out to sit on one of the seats or at the picnic table and just listening to the sounds of the creek going on it's merry way and birds singing in the tree's. Thanks for sharing, much love. xx 💖
I grew up there. I would later take my kids there to fish and play in the creek. In Delaware County (DELCO) , we called Darby Creek (Darby Crick). But would call Ridley Creek State Park (Ridley Creek State Park). Just one of those things growing up in DELCO. Thanks for the video.
Not too far north of there, between Hellertown and Lehigh's Goodman Campus, there's an old barn on a corner of two "country roads" that used to be claimed as the oldest structure in Pennsylvania. There used to be a historic marker with the date. The last time I drove by (Feb 2020) the barn had been turned into a house with big windows cut in the side and I couldn't find the historic marker.
whow woodsman ur full of surprises what a Swedish delight n video to brighten up from normal tv n cities the early 1634 Way back never knew what a sweet place is it for sale for u? Brian the railroad crash video broke down dots came on screen so it may come back scorching here20july nite
My dad's house was built in 1881, the basement had a secret room he found out by accident, hidden room is 7ftx14. The weird part is is it's not even under the house it's off to the side of the house. Another weird thing, there's a secret room next to were the bathtub is if u go in there's a small set of stairs that go upstairs and into a room that's 6ftx7ft. That room is the creepiest place in the house. More so than the basement. Idk what's in there I've nv been brave enough to go in. It's always so cold in there. It can be 90plus Fahrenheit in the house but that room and secret stairs is always cold enough u see ur breath
@@JK-qg6eo how? There was no way to get to this room till my dad tore down half the wall. Discovered bc the washer or dryer fell into it and knock a brick rock out. I was young had to be atleast 25plus years ago
@@derekharnett1369 Renovations, at some point they could have walled it off." Refrigerators were invented" or possibly there is an outside entrance that has been covered up. I live in southern york county, a buddy of mine bought an old house and found an entrance to a root cellar that was connected to his original foundation. The only reason he found is was because he was digging a new trench for a sewer line.
@@JK-qg6eo there is a little covered hole off to the side with a metal lid on it. I've nv tried to open bc I always though it was the top of the sewer for some reason 😂
@@derekharnett1369 Anything is possible with old homes. I've worked on a bunch. You never know what the previous owners have done in the past 100/200 yrs. Grab a flashlight and see what u can find. Check the attic 2. I've found some 1800s relics under the floor boards
ummm you need to be careful placing stickers not designated or given permission. it can be considered vandalism in certain areas. neat concept for people to find but be careful
Jarid Boosters too check out his channel. Michelle Gibson covers Philadelphia as well. You miss so much important factual information and detail that would make these walks SO much more interesting and valuable and fun for you. Instead you just walk up and spit out the Jesuit narrative and have zero fun honestly. Youre just makin the cash from the vids. Do your followers know that you’re making 6 figures doing these videos? Teach us something already man you got boots on the ground which is priceless the places you go. But no gravy man. You dont dig at all ever. How about the cemetery trips??? Ever ask yourself where all the people are? Ever ask why theres no graves past late 18th century when there were people in PA for thousands of years. How come you never get into the mounds or the giant skeletons found all over these spots you go to? You going to these places is so very valuable to the community and youre paid well to do it so why not give us the truth that nobody talks about the hidden rewriting of history. The obelisks found and rededicated to founding fathers. Check out some of the channels I mentioned in my comments and the other comment. These people will make you want to go back and start over at the very first trip you took. Because you literally missed everything and wasted your time when you could’ve shown the people amazing hidden history
This channel sticker has been found!
Just went today and saw it was gone

Hi Cliff! I got sticker #22 at the Swedish Cabin and I’m SO HAPPY! 😃
I smell BS
took you until 8:30 to state that you could live there. LOL, I was waiting for it. ;-)
Nice video 🙂 nice to see
Greetings from Stockholm/Sweden 🇸🇪
I like your daydreams and how you imagine living in these old homes. I do the same thing when I see them. Thank you Cliff
The Lenape Indian would visit this cabin for bread and trade items!
Greetings to you looks so peaceful just listen to that water definitely could live there 😁😁😁
Used to be another cabin in Drexel Hill, not to far from there, but was destroyed by fire in 1976.
Thanks, never new that history. Stay well. You should look up Shelter house in Emmaus, 1734.

Can you still tour it?

This old cabin is so interesting. Thanks for sharing. 😀
Awesome. I like the stone work in between the logs at the back section of the cabin.
Beautiful area and I absolutely agree, it would be an awesome place to live.

There are 3 Swedish cabins in Fort Loudon PA by Gettysburg
I rented it one Xmas!
Beautiful, thanks

Great video! It's so cool to see a cabin that old and imagine how they lived back then.
One of my favorite places to trout fish
Lovely place. Thanks for the history lesson. (There was a creek behind the house where I grew up. And yes, listening to the creek at night was so peaceful.)
I was there today. Checked under the rock. Found only crickets. Guides are there on Sundays and you can go in.

That cabin is only 148 years after Columbus discover America and 381 years to today. WOW
10:05 u can get up that trail to town
Awesome! Love those historic places!!
I grew up there. I would later take my kids there to fish and play in the creek. In Delaware County (DELCO) , we called Darby Creek (Darby Crick). But would call Ridley Creek State Park (Ridley Creek State Park). Just one of those things growing up in DELCO. Thanks for the video.
Nice cabin, I have no doubt that was a nice area to live back in 1638. 😎👍🏻
As soon as you sat down on that bench, I knew you were thinking you could live there.

I'd hear that water and wake up to discover that I peed the bed. Lol
Nice place Cliff!
Governor Printz I believe was his name. Who ran the area. I may have spelled his name wrong.
in east coventry in chester co. there is a house from around 1638
The Swedes settled the Delaware county area before the English did.

It's a root cellar. That's what they used to store food before refrigeration
