    I've been a resident of Lebanon county my entire life. I was born in 79. It blows me away that you learn new things all the time I didn't know nothing about that cemetery behind home Depot or what used to be hills department store. I know some old cemeteries around the area that probably were more like family plots in the middle of fields and stuff but this one I have to check out thanks for making the video.

    Nicely done, Cliff and John. We visited the canal park a few years ago and saw the tunnel from one side. The other side looks nice. We'll check it out when the virus is over. Light's Foot as well as the Memorial Park and Moravian Cemetery were interesting spots too. I appreciated the mention of the 93rd PA Infantry's camp in 1861. Thanks for sharing this and all of the interesting videos.

    In Great Britain you can travel all over by the canals. In Scotland check out the Falkirk Wheel , giant wheel used to raise and lower canal boats to height of around 100 feet. You can also travel all over Europe by Boat using the canals

    Hey you were near where we live in north Lebanon. I take my dog to the Union Canal to walk. Every now and then he jumps in the water and I yell at him get out that water it is filthy. He needed a bath when we went home. Glad to see you do historic things in my hometown. Thanks John and Cliff. You can hear the train whistle out where we live. If you dont hear it you wonder whats going on. It lulls you to sleep in the summertime if you open your windows. I grew up in the northeast part of the city. We had a great time as kids. We had northeast park, the washy playground, and Henry Houck playground to go to. Lots of things to do. We spent most of our summer at northeast swim club. Now that is gone to. There is no other place id rather live. Except for Lewes De. Thats retirement time.

    Usually on the muzzle will be engraved the year that cannon barrel was made, along what size projectile ot shot and where it was manufactured. Sometimes this info will be on the trunion pins or the breech. Replicas do not have these marks so it helps in telling the difference. By the way...throw some train footage in when you can...😁 Keep up the great work!!!

    Hi Cliff & John, Cliff it would be really awesome if you could maybe do a video when they have those Civil War re-enactments, I'm sure a lot of viewers would love that, simply because you have filmed a lot of places connected with the civil war. Imagine how much history that log cabin has seen through the years, and how many people that have come and gone, it's in really good shape too considering it's great age which shows it's being lovingly maintained. Thank you for sharing, I hope you have a fantastic new year, much love. xx 🙏💖🥂🤘

    So cool 😎 never saw a canal with a tunnel. Years ago we went on the Mule Barge rides in New Hope on the Delaware canal. Unfortunately because of the 3 back to back floods in 2004-06. Walls caved in etc. Trying to bring it back. I think you can still ride one up in Easton on the Lehigh canal.

    Very cool to see local history. Drove on some of those streets earlier today. I had no idea the cemetery was by Home Depot. I have family ties to this area going back to the revolutionary era or earlier on both sides of my family. A few months ago my grandmother showed me and my brother a box of old documents including deeds, letters of indenture, and an 1822 Lebanon militia roster, all dating to the early 1800s. Apparently they where found in the old Avon general store that my great grandfather ran for years and were very nearly thrown in the fire (thankfully they didn’t).
