We just found this house in the next town west of us. It looks like sandstone and is currently in use for some sort of disability support service. Nice to see it in such good shape.

While wandering the back roads of rural NC yesterday, I found this old mill.

This morning I decided to explore out 401n & I found this 1,700s house just south of Louisburg.

I was unsuccessful in finding it & as it turns out, her grave was moved to Virginia after vandals destroyed it in 1994.

She apparently died of tuberculosis (after being displaced from the family home due to the war.) while they were at a local vacation spot mentioned here...

Just outside of Warrenton NC, I found the gorgeous old plantation home, now a bed & breakfast & special events site called “Magnolia Manor”. (It’s for sale by the way.)

Never having been to Warrenton, I was amazed how many early to mid 1800's houses there were, the town was a little time capsule of early architecture in varying conditions.

I'll just paste this whole thing here.



How do you take what is supposed to be a seven and a half hour trip each way an turn it into a twelve to fourteen hour trip each way and enjoy (Almost) every minute of it?



You take one old Volkswagen...
Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.



Add to that lots of additional back roads, most of which were probably old original trading routes, drive through bypassed towns, go out of your way to check out sites that are interesting to you, and then, stop dozens of times and take pictures of, well, EVERYTHING.

Here's my trip. It started with a plea for help from a family member because almost all of their cars quit & I needed to get them back on the road.


So I started out at 5:00 am...
Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.


And then drove west on Interstate 40 until I got to Winston Salem & hopped on Rt 52.

I started the GoPro as Pilot Mountain came into view to share with y’all... (Turn your volume down, just raw video, lots of wind noise.)

Once I saw the split for 74/77 or old highway 52, I took highway 52 (maybe because my cheap ass didn’t want to pay the tolls Think)


Link


As I approached the Virginia/North Carolina line, I was amazed by the hundreds of people that were selling stuff at roadside flea market stalls & yard sales, I’m guessing it was due to a collapsing economy due to the shift of traffic to the newer highway.


There were lots of once grand, beautiful old houses that were abandoned along the way. This one in Virginia.
Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.


Once into West Virginia, my first intended side trip was the well known in the supernatural watching circles, Lake Shawnee Amusement Park that was built in the 1950s (Which claimed the lives of several attendees.), which was previously a site where the Shawnee Indians massacred & scalped several children of a settler, who built his farm on an old indian burial site. Shocked

https://www.theconstantrambler.com/lake-shawnee-amusement-park-abandoned-haunted/

I requested permission to get some close ups of the Ghiapet on the property (with my $30 contribution.)

This swing was where a young girl was killed when the ride started as a delivery van had backed into the path of the swing's increasing radius.

After that, I traveled up route 19, or Beckley Rd & crossed over the New River Gorge Bridge, then I took video of the trail under the bridge & back over it. Unfortunately, the vegetation & the camera angle made it difficult to see the bridge.

My next sidebar was the Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in Weston West Virginia...

http://literarytrebuchet.blogspot.com/2016/09/10-creepy-facts-and-stories-concerning.html?m=1

This once abandoned building complex has found new life as a, well, really big haunted house attraction.

While on the way back from the Trans Allegheney Lunatic Asylum, this bridge & tunnel caught my attention & I thought it might be a neat shot so I climbed in.

Here’s the view I was greeted with in the morning...

My return trip started by revisiting the covered bridge that I took pictures of a couple of years ago before it was destroyed a couple of years ago that lead me to start this thread...

On my way to my next muse...

The abandoned DeJarnette Sanitarium in Staunton Virginia.

I love this thread and appreciate the time you take to document it with the pictures while on your adventures. The history is very interesting as well.

I find it very interesting that there are so many abandoned homes, mansions and large facilities there. Here in Phoenix, we just don't see that. Obviously, Phoenix is relatively new vs. the east coast and south.

My mind also wondered where all the mentally ill are housed today? There were so many facilities countrywide decades ago and they all appear to have been shuttered. Hum.. Homeless maybe? Sad.

Does the Norton house still stand near the capitol building? It burned, and was scheduled for demolition when I lived there. The fire wasn't all that destructive, and a committee was formed to save one of the original Victorian homes built downtown. Unfortunately it resided in a depressed area. Some of the older homes were being restored, but others were being torn down. Being so close to the downtown area, I'd assume the land was more valuable than many of the homes. IDK what happened after that, I moved to Raleigh. That was 12+ year ago.

In reference to the the insane, I think most of them live in downtown LA now in tents. The "treatment" of these people was abhorrent in many of the facilities of the past, but it's probably just as bad now just leaving them drug addicted and forgotten sleeping on sidewalks. Just a sad situation all around.

Great documentation of a fun looking trip. I also love old abandoned structures and used to spend a good deal of time poking around run-down farmsteads back when I lived in rural Kansas. That Ghia looks like a blast to bomb down some dirt roads in. I enjoyed rambling around on the old logging roads in my '66 Beetle when I lived up in New Hampshire. Keep up the good photos.
