What is amazing is how all of these grand places used to exist and have slowly faded away... It is amazing the history that has happened down the backroads of Georgia, so often forgotten to time...

Hello Robert and fellow adventurers! I really enjoy your channels. It’s so awesome how you unearth history everywhere you tread. I found this adventure particularly interesting and stumbled upon this website: epd.georgia.gov/sites/epd.georgia.gov/files/related_files/site_page/B-20.pdf Perhaps you can locate which spring it is and be able to narrow it down. From one adventurer to another, stay safe!
You fellas get about as close to getting those old walls to talk as anybody could. Sure hope you can find an old photo and then refresh this visit for us...
That's one of those places where you close your eyes and just listen. Sometimes your imagination will kick in and you could swear that you could hear voices and the sounds from back then. Great job Robert.
That’s how I found one of the springs on my property. I was sitting in a chair smokin in the dark, and I could hear water running. Went to find the source of the noise, and it ended up being a spring.
When I was in the 8th grade, late 1960s, we studied Georgia History and I sure don't think any of this was in those history books. Thank you Robert for documenting this fascinating history of Georgia. Keep up the good work because I know that many people like me enjoy watching and learning about our state.
What a rare find. There must be some pictures somewhere of that place when it was functional. Maybe a library or newspaper in that area. Ask Robert if he can dig up anything about it. That would be interesting.
When I was little, Orange Crush was my favorite drink. For whatever reason, it was discontinued. You can buy it now at Cracker Barrel stores but its not the same. That old bottle is one of the originals. It looked so familiar. I still miss them. Great find. Great video!
Watching this reminded me of a family reunion 60+ years ago. It was at a resort built in the late 1800's or early 1900's. It had a hotel, swimming pool fed by the springs, picnic shelters, and a hall with a duck pin bowling alley. According to the records it closed in 1975. I have driven by the site in recent years and it is so grown up that nothing is visible from the road. It had seven springs with each having a different type of water. I would encourage you to do a google search on Clairmont Springs Hotel in Alabama. Check out the history and ten other old resort hotels that have burned over the years. I live near the site of the Valhermosa Resort and was not aware of its history until I was checking this out. Keep up the adventures.
Thomasville was the end of the rail line. At one time, it was where the rich folks wintered, before the railroad went to Florida. Lot's of history that has nothing to do with the civil war all over the state.
1732 .. the King of England signed the decree to create the Royal Colony of Georgia. A buffer between Spain's Florida & South Carolina. Yep .. there's history in Georgia .. ... that's for certain. 😁
I was born and raised in a little town called Harlem Georgia. I love and miss it so much even though I still come home once a year. We learned a lot of things in school but nothing like this. So interesting
Yes , most definitely Oliver Hardy was born in my hometown of Harlem Georgia. I am now living in Pennsylvania and miss my hometown. I go back twice a year but still miss it . Someone told me once that Harlem Georgia is the place where they roll up the streets at night and I replied but the Southern Hospitality is still out there . Love my home state and Georgia is always on my mind
Well it certainly was built to last. It's a shame that people just walk off and leave things like that. I would imagine it was a beautiful place. I loved the roof. Love the adventure. There are times when I see a beautiful old home or a place like that I wish I had the money to bring back the history of them. Thank you and God bless 💖
There's a town in Virginia mountains called White Sulfur Springs, same kind of thing. Franklin Roosevelt would visit for it's healing power or so they thought.
He did that in Warm Springs Georgia too. He actually died there not long after being reelected for a 4th term in the WH. the two Roberts' buddy who does local history pieces on youtube ( I forget his name but you were with him a couple months back in a grave yard in Columbus and he had a son near Cody's age.) has a youtube video of the Little White House in Warm Springs.
Warm Springs is where FDR would come to 'partake of the waters'. Could be he frequented that resort at some time since it is so near. The warmth of the sulfur water was thought to help the body with infirmities and ailments. Always love seeing and hearing some good Georgia history. Soon it will be gone or no one will care to know the history. Thanks for showing us.
There were destination resorts resorts back then. Most were health related. That's how the Kellogg's company started. Other resorts were for country leisure time; site seeing, skiing and such. They really had their hayday about that time. Facinating and sad at the same time. I can almost picture the ladies and gents in their swimming garb. 🙂 Thank you Robert & Robert for sharing the unique experience.💜
I'm loving this old place. Please keep Robert with you as he has a good eye for things. You two are like brothers. Love the old art deco bottle. People file down the necks if broken and make nice daisy vases or just to look at. Just awesome!!!
Robert, I live in a resort city that became a city because of the springs. Eventually the springs became a National Park. We have 47 springs with a water temperature of 143F. If you are in your local grocery store you'll see water from some of our cold water springs. Mountain Valley Mineral Water. If you ever vist Arkansas give me a call and I'll give you a tour.
Hot Springs, Arkansas. Great place to take a healthy vacay. Camp or stay at the Arlington Hotel. Hike the town easily with much to see. Walk to the bath houses and soak in the hot spring water and a fountain to fill your water bottles. Just right behind the row of baths, there is an immediate entrance to hiking with hours plus of entertaining, tranquil trails. Everything walkable. You choose how moderate or intense. Bucket list location for sure!
11:45 this marker with white sulphur springs on it gives the impression that this water may not only be good for you physically but also spiritually :D
Beautiful. I love to hear "this is my only shirt" Robert talk about things from the past and his thoughts of way back then. Everyone keeps mentioning all different springs but hey, what about Radium Springs in South Georgia and Cave Springs in North Georgia. They are not abandoned or forgotten however they are beautiful and filled with history ❤️
Would love to have been alive back in those days!! I always have felt I was born in wrong time era!! Just love history! If those stones could tell the story of those days I would so sit and listen to those story's!! There is a sulfur springs in blount county Alabama it has a very neat history to that area and bangor cave it was once a nite club in the 30's
The Little White House is in Warm Springs, where Roosevelt was treated for polio, and remains a rehab facility to this day. I worked at the hospital there 🐾🐾🦊🐺
Google "White Sulphur Springs, Georgia" and lots of stories pop up. This resort was busy 1880 to 1930. Owner was heavily into the stock market and the market crash in 1929 broke him. Resort closed and the hotel there burned down in 1934. Lots of pictures with easy searching. It was quite a fancy health spa.
My son took me there last year, hope yall stopped in Pine Mt and had a BBQ sandwich. Not far from there is where all the body was found, from the movie Murder in Coweta County .
Wow that's place is amazing and awesome and the history , lot of people thought the water healed everything back then , thank you so much for sharing and God bless you and your family and friends and please be safe out there
Thanks Robert that was fantastic. Just loved that stonework. What a fantastic find. Loved it and thanks for taking me along. Please stay safe and take care
Not from Georgia, but moved here a few months ago. And strangely enough, I pass by a ruin on my way to the state game lands that reminds me of this place. Well done, Roberts! (both of you)
@@denise413 it’s not “native”. they are indians. the plains moguls are the natives. The south has a totally different history from them. Their lineages don’t come from the south.
@@grandsonjackson-paypachasi7403 You have your history, your beliefs. As I have been taught from my bloodline from many thousands of centuries ago. Having difference of options is fine. May you have a good life.
@@denise413 you don’t know me from a can of paint. I know my history and my bloodlines.....with an s, with paperwork. My bloodlines are my history. Not folklore. So yeah try that with someone else sir/mam.
It's in the more rural areas of all these Southern states, particularly around Churches and old Plantation and Farms with a History of generations. All the 19th Century Rural Areas use to have on property family Cemeteries. Then the families rather fade away or the children move to the cities, like Atlanta, Birmingham., or Memphis. It's sad, I know some farmers clear the trees, stones, add dirt and level, and plant over them. No, really.
What is amazing is how all of these grand places used to exist and have slowly faded away... It is amazing the history that has happened down the backroads of Georgia, so often forgotten to time...

Man! Robert, this is awesome!! ... My son and I travel from Alabama to Pine Mountain and Warm Springs Ga. every year, is this located in Warm Springs?
WOW Robert. Amazing
Is Cody ROBERT # 1'S SON.
You fellas get about as close to getting those old walls to talk as anybody could. Sure hope you can find an old photo and then refresh this visit for us...
The older Robert reminds me of a wise old owl. 🙂🦉
Robert (the other one) could find a needle in a haystack! He is so observant! Wow-the roof & the spring house!
I very much appreciate Robert Sr’s technical and background commentary. Adds a lot to the vids.
That's one of those places where you close your eyes and just listen. Sometimes your imagination will kick in and you could swear that you could hear voices and the sounds from back then.
Great job Robert.
That’s how I found one of the springs on my property. I was sitting in a chair smokin in the dark, and I could hear water running. Went to find the source of the noise, and it ended up being a spring.
I love hearing y'all walking on the leaves.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR VIDEOS it's so nice of you to take us all along thank you it means a lot to me Hi both ROBERT'S
What an amazing find! That tin roof was beautiful.
What a rare find. There must be some pictures somewhere of that place when it was functional. Maybe a library or newspaper in that area. Ask Robert if he can dig up anything about it. That would be interesting.
@@hartsongjoy Thank you so much for this information and article. I’m a Georgian and find this so very interesting.
The Georgia Archives Virtual Vault has several postcards of this famous "watering hole" in its collection online.
I love it when the two Robert's are together, where is that crazy bike rider today?

I find it fascinating that people back in the late 1800s went to resorts… that’s pretty cool
Same here.
Thomasville was the end of the rail line. At one time, it was where the rich folks wintered, before the railroad went to Florida. Lot's of history that has nothing to do with the civil war all over the state.
Older Robert should bottle some of the water to soak his ankle in.
I was born and raised in Georgia and didn’t realize that there is so much history

TONS of hsitory.. every little town, even the ones that don't exist anymore, have a history
@@lucilleharris2864 Oliver Hardy's birthplace 😊

Do you ever find old photographs of these places showing how the looked in the day? That would be extra special. Enjoyed this one a lot.
Exactly. Old photos add SO much.
Still a tranquil, healing, and invigorating spot, as R and demo
It's amazing that so much forgotten stuff is around west central Ga/ east central Al
Well it certainly was built to last. It's a shame that people just walk off and leave things like that. I would imagine it was a beautiful place. I loved the roof.
Love the adventure. There are times when I see a beautiful old home or a place like that I wish I had the money to bring back the history of them.

I think that all the time too...

Would love to have seen photos of this back in it's prime. What a cool discovery!
Look up Lithia Springs, Georgia.
I grew up there.
The resort was beautiful in its day.
There’s another sulfur water spring that is still active near Jackson, GA. People will bring containers to fill up. It’s inside Indian Springs Park.
Love the Orange Crush bottle. I didn’t realize it had been bottled that far back!
Pretty cool! Imagine years ago when that place was full of people.
that roof peak should be restored and repurposed
Really fun explore. Great find on the old bottle.
Very cool! Glad to see you're taking a break from the byrd farm and going on adventures :)
I absolutely love this! Imagine this place when it was up and running & all the people that went there. So cool!
Right!

If I could only be an elf on the shelf to go with you guys. This was awesome!!!! Thank you for bringing history alive. 👏🏻🤗❤️✨
Than you for sharing your adventures with us
hope you come to India ! i guess there are lots of relics of the colonial British army as well as the Mughals
I'm loving this old place. Please keep Robert with you as he has a good eye for things. You two are like brothers. Love the old art deco bottle. People file down the necks if broken and make nice daisy vases or just to look at. Just awesome!!!
What amazing old stonework. Do you think anything could be done to bring this back to some sort of usefulness? Thanks Robert and Robert.
I think equal parts money and motivation would bring it back to life!
Robert, I live in a resort city that became a city because of the springs. Eventually the springs became a National Park. We have 47 springs with a water temperature of 143F.
If you are in your local grocery store you'll see water from some of our cold water springs. Mountain Valley Mineral Water. If you ever vist Arkansas give me a call and I'll give you a tour.
That’s awesome
We are going to be in AK Christmas week. Can you give me some ideas of non touristy things to do,?
I have been to hot springs an Heber Springs several times
Hot Springs, Arkansas. Great place to take a healthy vacay. Camp or stay at the Arlington Hotel. Hike the town easily with much to see. Walk to the bath houses and soak in the hot spring water and a fountain to fill your water bottles. Just right behind the row of baths, there is an immediate entrance to hiking with hours plus of entertaining, tranquil trails. Everything walkable. You choose how moderate or intense.

@@shewill8618 Great suggestions. I can hardly wait. Thank you so much!!
Fantastic. Glad I watched.
11:45 this marker with white sulphur springs on it gives the impression that this water may not only be good for you physically but also spiritually :D
I would SO be taking my metal detector if I was going there!
I don't even have a metal detector and I thought the same thing!
Me too! I'd buy one if necessary for these explorations.
Very elaborate for the day, nice find!
Beautiful. I love to hear "this is my only shirt" Robert talk about things from the past and his thoughts of way back then.
Everyone keeps mentioning all different springs but hey, what about Radium Springs in South Georgia and Cave Springs in North Georgia. They are not abandoned or forgotten however they are beautiful and filled with history ❤️
Hey where’s Cody been? Haven’t seen or heard anything about him much lately? Hopefully he’ll be back with y’all soon, take care now!
One of the best videos I've seen on CZcams in a long while......ATB
Wow, this was awesome. Thank you both.
This was a nice walk in the woods. Absolutely loved seeing the old spring resort!
Would love to have been alive back in those days!! I always have felt I was born in wrong time era!! Just love history! If those stones could tell the story of those days I would so sit and listen to those story's!! There is a sulfur springs in blount county Alabama it has a very neat history to that area and bangor cave it was once a nite club in the 30's
I'm with you on that, I wish I was around during those times too. GOD bless🙏
And me too!!
Oh yeah me too
Crazy how these places have little traces in history! Good find.
Warm Springs Georga is where President Roosevelt would visit. Edit now I think that was White Sulpher Springs and Callaway Gardens.
First thing I thought of! So Robert where the water?
The Little White House is in Warm Springs, where Roosevelt was treated for polio, and remains a rehab facility to this day. I worked at the hospital there 🐾🐾🦊🐺
Just a beautiful place ❤️ I love it.

Wow! This is wonderful, thanks so much for sharing.
Really enjoyed this one , keep up the explorations !
Labor was so much cheaper back in the day. And also regulations were much less. And they knew how to make a Ram pump
Thanks Robert that was fantastic. Just loved that stonework. What a fantastic find. Loved it and thanks for taking me along. Please stay safe and take care
That spire..... OMG❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️. I AM IN LOVE😍🥰
Not from Georgia, but moved here a few months ago. And strangely enough, I pass by a ruin on my way to the state game lands that reminds me of this place. Well done, Roberts! (both of you)

Excellent....Thanks....
That was so fun. Interesting!!
So so cool!

Very interesting subject!! Thanks for sharing! Pat
I googled images of it...was a beautiful place in it's day!
One of your best videos. Thanks 👍
