Conrad Weiser was my 10th great grandfather. Thanks for keeping his history alive.
We are related. He is somewhere around my 10th great grandfather as well. :)
Cliff, you have a gift for bringing history alive. I am enjoying the visits to the historical sites and the fabulous PA wilderness. Thanks for taking me along
This is why I watch your channel. Learning history I otherwise wouldn't have a clue about it. Beautiful place, awesome history.
Great history lesson! Some of my German and Austrian ancestors came over the same way, but I must admit I know very little about them. I have mostly looked into my Native American and Scottish ancestors. I have really enjoyed watching this playlist (series) the past couple of days.
Thanks for the videos.
Good video. Definitely a place that I would like to spend some time visiting one of these days. Thank you for taking the time to share all the historical details.
Wonderful Video. Thank you for sharing with us.
Conrad’s father-in-law is my 7th great grandfather. Thanks for sharing this. Hope to get there soon.
All this scenery is beautiful! I live in California where it’s brown.
Although I grew up in Western New York, I never knew about all this history. Thank you!
So very interesting thanks I really like to listen to you
Hi Cliff, I sent you a message on FB with photos. I stopped by CW Homestead on my way to work this morning and managed to snag that channel sticker! Surprised but so happy it was still there :)
Good video. 👍🏻😎
Absolutely peaceful magical place🌟Your a great storyteller Cliff.Thanks for taking me along😊
awesome! to be honest i had never heard of conrad weiser , thanks so much for this video and all your videos actually!
Hi from Baden Württemebrg.
I think Astadt could be 2 communities.
Abstatt in the Heilbronn Region
OR
Assamstadt in the Hohenlohe Region.
Astadt as a City or village i dont know.
Very interesting
When I first read the title to the video I honestly thought maybe he was a relation to Bud Weiser or part of the company at one time. This was much more interesting, a very good explanation of the history of that area. The house and cemetery are so very well kept. Great video.
Thanks for the history lesson. Stay well. Beautiful park.
Beautiful house, I’d live in the water house as a tiny home! Stonework is gorgeous
Conrad Weiser is a hero of mine, partly because most of my ancestors came from the Palatinate. The homestead is on my bucket list. Thanks for the video!
I used to live 20 minutes. from here in Myerstown now retired in Eastern Tennessee I was here a number of times.
The actual Weiser home is the small stone house across from the larger stone house visitor’s center .
Grew up in Womelsdorf and graduated from Conrad Weiser high but never have been to his homestead.
great presentation
Do a video on "The Black Boys of Pennsylvania". Very interesting one that very little is remembered.
I was raised in south western Chester Co. Pa and everybody pronounce Lenape as Len-a-pe. There was also a Lenape Park on the Brandywine creek. A small amusement park, My Mom's company had picnics there. Believe its has been gone for years.
This is a beautiful place! I am not from your area, and no, I never heard of Conrad Weiser. It's a shame ... he was such an important part of history. And 99% of what I know about the French and Indian War I have learned from you. Thank you.
Such a beautiful place and you are correct I have never heard of him. He sure was an integral part of PA’s history. Thank you for explaining to us.
I’m a descendent of both Weiser and Zellers. There is a 1 level stone house close to the bigger house he talks about. Conrad Weiser lived in the smaller house. I’ve been there several times in the last 40 yrs.
Cliff, Conrad's son Fredrick married Anna Zeller.
Frederick is my 6th great grandfather.
Maybe house was enlarged from the older section?
Hi Cliff, this was a very interesting and informative video, thanks for sharing, much love. xx 💖
I've driven past the signs on 78 forever, always wanted to stop but never have. Thank you for stopping in for me!
Yes, we know, you could live there!
As a Pittsburgher who's always looking for historical and wild places to visit in the state when I rarely get free time, this channel is an absolute gem. I've discovered so many amazing places thanks to you. Please keep doing what you're doing, and I hope your channel continues to grow. Thanks!
You did a very nice history lesson while showing us the homestead. Thanks. I loved it.
Beaut video thanks. Love the stone home, I could easily live there. 😀 what a lovely area. Thanks so much for the history I just love it. Thanks so much for taking me along. Please stay safe and take care
The Oneida, or People of The Standing Stone, Emigrated to Wisconsin between 1824 and 1838,and settled on land along the Fox River near Green Bay. They're still here.
I couldn’t locate Nutten island on the map you showed… only Ellis and Governors islands…
Governes island is Nutten island.
Hi, thanks for the video. My grandparents used to manage the trailer park next to the Motel Deska on 422 in the 60s-70s and I remember visiting them it was Conrad Weiser this and that everywhere nearby.
My ancestor 😊
That's a heavenly spot 😊 Great upload👍
This was a trip home for me. Grew up in Berks.
Cliff,
A few thoughts.
Why wasn't Conrad Weiser taught in school or a movie made about him?
We make decisions throughout our lives which dramatically change our paths.
Think the poem by Robert Frost, "the Road Not Taken" or perhaps," The Man In High Castle",
by Philip K Dick. or the Sci_fi story of a man going back to the age of dinosaur, stepping on a small creature and returning to a world totally different from the one he left.
As a te3acher and lover of history, you see those consequences all the time.
That is the nature of existence., for good or bad.
Cheers,
Rik Spector
It's the way history works, some folks get all the attention and others are left in the shadows...
the Oniedas didnt fight with the British in the revelutionary war I wonder if he anything to do with that
DO ADAMSTOWN PLEASEEEEE
You are such a great history teacher! Very interesting!!! Even though history cannot be changed I do appreciate very much you talking with us of what could have been if decisions went another way. Thanks so much Cliff🥰
Conrad the younger is my 7th great grandfather! I was able to visit the area several years ago, which happened to be the only day it was actually open to the public.
Mine as well.
Beautiful homes 🏡
There is a book call Conrad weiser and the Indian affairs. It's a great read I found it at the Middletown pa public library . If you want a good look into his life and the way things went between the Indians and settlers of that time this book has a lot of information on those subjects.
cliff incredible History I'm Gobsmacked will deffo hope watch /listen to fascinating stuff ur family go back Long Ways Bless them brian 1am 3/August here time flies Sla'inte
Ahh love my good buddy Weiser 🙂
At 16:19, one may wonder who may have walked down those stone steps.
Back then corporate beaver hides
Yes , that was before we turned to the bad guys in american minds .
Lovley place ,thanks for taking me along .
OMG! I want to go there. I’m his brother’s descendant.
Very interesting video. I am not familiar with Conrad Weiser. Chief Shikellamy is my 7th Great Grandfather.
My brother went to Boy Scout Camp at Camp Shikellamy back in the 70's.
Its 'Conrad', not Connor.
So the obvious question is: why would a father send his sixteen year old son to live with the Indians for two years? Great video. Thanks.
Weiser was not on his own. He was working with a missionary for outreach to the Iroquois.
The Lenape were known as the woman tribe amongst the Indians. They got screwed when a man ran the sunup to sundown rule and claimed much more land than was moral. He was suppose to walk and take breaks to eat etc. just as my ancestor did where I live to be given land by a tribe in 1782, which founded our town.
I have a book on his life by Wallace limited to one thousand.
