6:30
an umbrella yeah i got the idea pretty
6:32
much from you where's your umbrella
6:34
micah
6:34
oh yeah you got the idea for me with the
6:36
umbrella yeah you got to get the
6:38
sunbrella though
6:39
sunbrella since since last summer i
6:42
decided to dive in
6:43
and get one of these so it reflects it
6:45
sounds like a mirror on top right
6:47
it's so much cooler underneath watch
6:49
okay how it's hot right
6:54
freezing i need a jacket well
6:54
technically get over here in the sun
6:56
and try it get over here in the sun and
6:58
try it see we're all in the shade
7:00
okay give it
7:06
what if i do this what if i do this i'm
7:06
glad i have friends like this
7:08
this is exactly how you're crossing the
7:10
street that's nice right
7:12
this is how they did it back in the
7:13
olden days
7:16
there goes one of the that could be one
7:18
of the helicopter tours that go up and
7:20
down
7:21
192. or it could be news capture perhaps
7:25
and on the map they give you they
7:26
underline
7:28
which are the original buildings not
7:30
recreations this is one of the original
7:32
homes dating back to the olden days oh
7:34
there's a rabbit
7:35
there's a bunny the bunny just went
7:38
underneath
7:40
underneath here it was not built by the
7:42
dad the dad was not very wealthy
7:44
and he was kind of a custom farmer but
7:46
he had 14 15 acres or something and he
7:48
kept
7:49
adding on to it he's referring to that
7:52
house over there
7:53
and then and then um yeah you can go in
7:56
here now if you
7:57
live there this is the little walk-up
8:01
window here
8:02
yeah go inside yeah i was gonna say like
8:04
they have the
8:05
it says do not cross but for this event
8:08
it is over you are allowed to
8:09
right there and here's the little ticket
8:11
window almost like a makeshift ticket
8:13
window
8:14
yeah that's like the little coal
8:18
furnace i guess that's a burning stove
8:19
furnace yeah that's cool
8:21
this almost looks like a church pew
8:24
which is interesting because right over
8:25
there
8:26
is an old-timey church which i think we
8:28
can go in this is from the courtroom
8:30
the third floor courtroom right there
8:32
national county courthouse
8:35
yeah okay
8:40
so basically you would be sitting here
8:40
praying that the judge
8:42
left you off which is kind of the
8:44
equivalent of being in church
8:59
so the round trunks the round top trunks
8:59
were put on the train last
9:00
and taken off first so usually the
9:03
people that were in first class
9:06
had the round top and then people like
9:08
you and i
9:09
right would have the flat top that's
9:11
incredible and think of this
9:13
every single thing you owned would be
9:15
inside this trunk
9:18
oh wow i could probably put your work
9:20
clothes in your work shoes at the bottom
9:22
and you probably only had one pair
9:24
you put your sunday go to meet and close
9:26
in the top
9:27
and then if you were married and you
9:29
wouldn't be able to stay in a hotel back
9:31
then if you were not married and you
9:32
were male and female
9:34
you'd keep your marriage license and
9:35
birth certificate in here on your
9:37
important papers
9:40
this would be yeah you had to show proof
9:42
20
9:43
grapefruit then you had a bushel of
9:45
grapefruit
9:46
and maybe you could put 30 oranges in it
9:49
you'd have a bushel of oranges
9:51
or maybe 40 limes didn't matter lemons
9:54
or limes
9:55
whatever fit in this basket was a bushel
9:57
and it was sold as a bushel
10:31
kind of reminds me of the lost boys a
10:31
little when they go to get the holy
10:33
water
11:02
thank you a little thanks to the blooper
11:05
family who contributed to help construct
11:07
the 1800's replica church here
11:22
i love the birds chirping kind of adds a
11:22
nice little ambiance
11:30
this is about around the the back end
11:30
look they have some items
11:31

11:39

12:38
back before large shopping malls super
12:41

12:44
inside a place an establishment
12:45
just like this all local support the
12:49
support the local businesses and that
12:50
that's all there was back then
12:52
now it's a thing but back then it was
12:54
necessity
12:55
it was it was the only place in town or
12:57
on the outskirts of town was the general
12:59
store
12:59
now i believe don't quote me on this
13:01
that this building
13:03
circa 1900 still exists out in narcosi
13:06
which is kind of close to saint cloud
13:14
so kind of close to east orlando between
13:14
saint cloud and east orlando
13:15
this is a replica however this is not
13:19
this is not the one pictured i think
13:21
that one's still over there narcusi
13:22
however
13:24
this kind of gives the vibe of what it
13:26
what it would be like oh right here is a
13:28
bell ring the bell here
13:32
i gotta put down do this
13:41
they only ring it once maybe there we
13:47
it's go man yeah i just rang that i
13:50
didn't know what it was from i just rang
13:51
that notification bell you did
13:54
i just rang that notification bell in
13:55
real in real time that's a good thing to
13:57
do
13:58
yeah it totally is you want to ring that
13:59
notification bell
14:01
as adam said let's
14:05
let us know it almost looks like there's
14:09
a little gathering over there next to
14:10
the outhouse
14:12
i don't think that's an active outhouse
14:14
i think it's just for appearances but
14:17
quite a few folks over there admiring
14:18
the outhouse which in this day and age
14:21
is is a relic it's not something you see
14:22
too often
14:27
there's abraham lincoln down there
14:29
george washington
14:30
here is the where the teacher would sit
14:34
you have some information there on there
14:37
the chalkboards
14:44
oh this right here could be used as a
14:44
ruler but also
14:45
this would also be if you misbehaved
15:09
that's like the size of my waist i don't
15:09
even know if i can fit in that
15:11
generation they are not hula hoops
15:13
you're supposed to you're supposed to
15:14
roll them
15:15
you're supposed to have a stick right
15:16
are you supposed to have a stick
15:18
that you roll them with oh yeah those
15:21
have like a stick i think
15:22
this is entertaining though yeah this is
15:25
this is what we did before they were
15:26
smartphones
15:32
pretty thankful that i brought this and
15:32
my cap
15:33
because without these probably getting a
15:35
little bit of a sunburn
16:01
hello hello you can put the umbrella
16:01
down it's not going to ring in here
16:02
that's true good point i was using it to
16:04
shield myself from the
16:06
the rays but yeah you're right
16:14
did you find it yes
16:14
this was out in the country in the day
16:16
so they had to be very self-sustaining
16:18
so they didn't have chickens
16:20
um they grew sugar cane and they would
16:24
grind the sugar cane and then boil it
16:25
down the juice and
16:26
make their sugar in the
16:30
the days that 18 1900 when this house
16:34
we were trying to depict here was he had
16:36
free-range cattle dates in florida so
16:38
the fences to keep cows out
16:41
because they didn't want to ruin their
16:42
garden or anything so they put a fence
16:44
around it
16:45
and then when it was time to they didn't
16:46
have big barns they didn't have to put
16:48
up a lot of hay and stuff when it came
16:50
time for
16:51
to get cattle they just they were called
16:53
cow hunters not cowboys
16:54
he grew um potatoes and tomatoes and
16:59
peppers and all those kinds of things
17:01
quite successfully
17:02
sold it that's how he made his living
17:04
while he lived here
17:06
and he didn't marry for maybe 15 20
17:08
years after he bought the house
17:10
questions where was the original
17:12
location of the home the original
17:13
location was down ham brown road
17:15
yeah okay and actually if you go down
17:17
ham brown there's a subdivision there
17:20
the road into it is called ross lanier
17:22
road and ross is the lanier that donated
17:24
the house to the historical society
17:26
okay so the family is still here
17:30
all right chickens you having a little
17:32
little a little snack over here
17:35
these chickens are having on themselves
17:36
a little snack they have a
17:38
meal has is down there in the hay
17:43
oh hey i'm saying hello but i'm just
17:47
also mentioning there's hay
17:49
down in there hi
17:52
hello these things always remind me of
17:56
rock and doodle
17:58
got
18:06
how long would that take man
18:06
uh well if they would have done had a
18:08
fire belt to heat the water and
18:10
everything so you have to build time in
18:12
for that to get the water hot
18:14
and then if you were doing your blankets
18:16
and sheets of course that was really
18:17
heavy
18:18
work it would take a while to get them
18:20
all clean
18:21
uh and they usually only did laundry
18:23
once a week so they could have
18:25
maybe but they also didn't have as many
18:27
clothes as we have now
18:28
they would have worn the same thing
18:29
several days in a row you're pretty much
18:31
speaking my language that's kind of me i
18:33
i do laundry about once a week where
18:35
they wear the same clothes a lot so
18:38
we're using pure ivory perfumes or
18:41
anything in it
18:42
but they would have made their own soap
18:44
but uh animal fat
18:46
uh you boil it and make your own soap
18:48
wow
18:49
yeah i know it had a lie in it which is
18:50
very caustic and rough on your skin but
18:55
but you're clean yeah yeah you just have
18:57
to scrub it right there on that little
18:59
little washboard it could also be used
19:01
as a musical instrument
19:03
yes that's right a little mechanism over
19:07
well they have a cow here on hand yeah
19:10
oh you can milk the cow
19:15
yeah fresh milk from this cabbage
19:19
right here right there yeah look how
19:21
happy
19:22
cow looks
19:29
you ever milked a cow before micah never
19:29
never
19:30
ever ever i've actually never pet a cow
19:32
either you've never pet a cow no
19:34
you want to pet this cow or you want to
19:36
milk the cow what do you feel more
19:38
comfortable with petting or milking
19:40
well i don't know never done either one
19:42
so baby steps
19:45
pulls it around this guy's feeding sugar
19:47
cane
19:48
and grinding it yeah you see the the
19:51
horse there
19:52
turns the the pole around and grinds
19:55
through that mechanism
20:00
that's a grinder but where are the
20:00
hoagies hoagies and grinders
20:04
pretty decent amount of property out
20:06
here quite a bit of walking
20:08
there's some little you know con
20:10
conglomerations of
20:12
buildings that are together then over
20:15
here is this section kind of at the
20:17
back end of the property and of course
20:20
over there
20:21
is the cow not a real calf
20:25
made out of wood another small plane
20:27
going by
20:29
it's always fascinating how these are
20:32
constructed over here
20:34
with the the thatcher leaf roof line
20:38
but you'll see there are no walls so
20:39
like on the sides all the
20:42
the breeze and the wind can go through
20:43
them and the shade is
20:46
is very intense so it's it's rather cool
20:49
even out
20:50
under the hot elements of the florida
20:51
sun underneath those the temperature
20:54
is dramatically different it's pretty
20:56
ingenious
21:01
underneath this shade sure is nice you
21:01
see the little
21:02
little burrowing holes there from some
21:04
sort of insect
21:06
which also the little fun fact they have
21:09
them
21:10
kind of this is built up off of the
21:12
ground so you don't have you know
21:13
snakes scorpions ants things of that
21:16
nature cannot
21:18
cannot really get up at you when you're
21:20
trying to take a little nap or some
21:22
slumber in the evening
21:24
time so you have open air on all sides
21:27
and you're
21:27
away from the ground so nothing can
21:30
really get up to you so you're
21:31
out of the elements and away from the
21:33
creatures that might awake you
21:35
this tree also provides a good amount of
21:38
shade
21:39
as well
21:52
now this over here is a recreation right
21:52
here
21:53
around the back with this fence line
21:55
we're gonna walk over here now check out
21:57
what's in door
21:58
this this was odd
22:07
yes those are zinnias and the other ones
22:07
are impatient
22:41
citrus industry is really really popular
22:41
around these parts
22:42
still is and always has been here's some
22:45
of the machinery
22:47
and of course there's the outhouse over
22:50
non-operational confirmed
22:54
did you get your plant yeah i'm so
22:57
excited i love this i'm gonna go to my
22:59
patio because i just
23:00
i just started a little garden nice and
23:02
the pot
23:03
acts as fertilizer yeah you don't have
23:05
to around so
23:07
just pop us in another like pot and
23:10
it'll look cute
23:28
it's neat all these little areas that
23:28
you usually cannot walk into
23:31
even when there is no host for those
23:34
explaining things
23:35
you still can go into sections that
23:38
other times throughout the month
23:39
and the year you can't get into because
23:42
it has the temperature gauge on the oven
23:44
which is something you didn't see here
23:46
and it was one of the new new highlights
23:51
and surprisingly the the color is is
23:54
authentic
23:55
i was surprised i would have thought
23:57
that wasn't until the 50s but everything
23:59
seems to go around and come around
24:00
you know i wait long enough my butcher
24:03
block
24:04
cabinets or butcher block counters will
24:06
be back in style
24:17
it was cool the only thing the cabinets
24:17
really getting here was take a bath on
24:18
saturday nights
24:20
they had money to have dining rooms all
24:23
over the place
24:44
this is probably the wealthy family for
24:44
those days right
24:46
she said that the family came from
24:48
england and they had like a
24:49
12 um what do you call it
24:52
12 bedroom home and basically went down
24:55
to this so the
24:56
the female of the the mother of the
24:58
party wasn't quite happy but i think
25:00
it's so cute
25:01
yeah it's awesome i guess you're from a
25:05
bigger a lot bigger house though when
25:06
you
25:07
kind of downsized to this i could say
25:09
indoor plumbing to this
25:12
right
25:21
that's a good memory to have i remember
25:21
her sitting in
25:22
the house making the quilts yeah it's
25:24
cool sorry i just walked out and saw
25:26
that and it struck a memory
25:28
hey i i have a quilt that my grandmother
25:30
made
25:31
and so i fully understand so
25:34
yeah the when colonel he was
25:37
lieutenant colonel really he retired he
25:40
was actually
25:41
in the um guard unit
25:44
for the princess of wales who was the
25:47
daughter-in-law of queen victoria
25:50
so he retired and um
25:54
his brother who was a well-known
25:56
barrister there in
25:58
england yeah just pick up lesbian i
26:00
could i can see that
26:02
i came from that i picked up the
26:03
internet so i got it
26:12
oh these there's another area that i had
26:12
worked on before
26:20
well those aren't too small yeah that
26:20
that's not really small
26:21
i i've seen them even closer than that
26:25
what's up
27:00
pretty neat place and on the way out is
27:00
this information
27:01
this couple holding some of the board of
27:04
directors and
27:05
commissioners and the building donors
27:07
and the project team
27:09
listed over here
27:16
as well as a little more information on
27:16
some of the buildings and establishments
27:20
located here and where the original
27:22
locations
27:24
were in correlation to this property
27:28
it's neat that stuff like this exists
27:31
saving history and keeping the past
27:34
alive
27:41
still no sign of the blacksmith
27:41
so mike and i made the back to the
27:42
future statement earlier
27:45
and then danny walked over here she
27:47
wasn't here
27:48
immediately one day mike and i got here
27:51
and what did you say
27:52
i said where's that no good cheating
27:55
you can't think of blacksmith without
27:56
thinking of a little bttf
28:03
a little little mad dog tanning
28:09
michael you're living in the danger zone
28:16
you know if you go to cross the railroad
28:17
tracks you should look three times
28:20
on its way both ways you move down there
28:24
you look down there once you don't see a
28:27
train you look again
28:29
if you do see a train you want to wait
28:32
because there's only one light
28:34
you don't have the depth perception and
28:37
if the train's going very fast you can't
28:39
hear it
28:39
because the train the sound is behind
28:41
you and it may be coming faster than you
28:43
realize
28:44
so if you don't look three times you can
28:46
get hit by a train and that is a very
28:48
bad day
28:49
yes here's another idea micah just stay
28:52
off the tracks
28:54
that would be bad would be that would be
28:56
good too well and you know back to the
28:58
future can't
28:58
that we found that we measured it and
29:00
it's just it's about 15 20 feet too
29:03
short
29:04
to get up to 88 to the future can't make
29:06
it in modern day
29:08
trains you just they can't be here you
29:11
just you just ruined my dreams
29:13
i don't know what to tell you but you
29:14
know we do take donations and we might
29:16
consider
29:17
probably not but we might consider
29:18
extending that okay
29:20
probably not yeah so yeah donations are
29:24
always accepted
29:25
but the train at the end doc brown's
29:27
train flew
29:28
so where he was going he don't need
29:30
tracks exactly but it's not long enough
29:32
for him to get speed
29:34
you need another 20 30 feet you need to
29:36
get to that tree
29:38
all right we've already measured it we
29:40
we're fully aware we've got the plans
29:42
and everything and it's not it doesn't
29:44
do it
29:46
you know what though that guy wasn't
29:48
thinking fourth dimensionally
29:50
those tracks won't even be there that's
29:54
that's right that's gonna do it for
29:56
