I live in Worcester County and never heard of this town. I’ll go explore it soon
Great video guys! And did I hear something about Paddock??
My father grew up in Ware, not too far from the Quabbin. He remembered all of this (he would be 100 this coming Dec, now doesn’t THAT make me feel old!) and it used to make him sad that they had to take those towns. But it is a beautiful place.
This place is only an hour and a half from me and I was able to visit yesterday. I tried to look for the sites beyond the Common but I couldn’t find them. Which trail did you take off of Greenwich Dana Road? There were a few I passed by but didn’t want to accidentally go down the wrong one!
Hi! So glad we ran into you at the Dana common…we loved seeing your video and learned so much more about the place. Glad you found all those sights, we couldn’t wait to find out! Good luck in your next adventures!
Ha..I did this waljk…took a lot more energy than we realized…it was the middle of summer and we were dying I didnt see all these gems though…
I have the pbs tape UNDER QUABBIN 2001. Also channel 5 Boston show chronicle has sbowed it at least 2xs i have seen it.
That’s a pretty interesting place. We have a reservoir by me that has an old town underneath. You can actually see some foundations during droughts.
The guy with coffin window eating popcorn nice diet
So no one owns this land I’m surprised with all the construction but must be nice for deer animals have quite sanctuary werid
Absolutely excellent video. Very accurate & thorough. Not one mistake that I could find. I have been doing hikes & bus trips with the Swift River Valley Historical Society (most recent June 23 2019) since the 1980’s. My father’s side was from Enfield, & my great great grandmother’s brother was N.L. Johnson (showed Johnson home on Dana Common). You went at the right time – just after the snow melts & crushes down the growth so that the foundations are most evident, before all the new growth comes back. The Wendell Farnsworth grave is so obscure (hard to find), that even when someone told me where it was, I could not find it – I had to be brought to it. enough people seem to know its location, it would seem. Congrats & thanks for very informative video.
Why there no houses messed up
I grew up in Worcester area. Never knew this! Thanks! I’ll be sure to go explore. Think metal detecting is allowed?
Hey Chuck, do you by any chance have a background in history? Your informative commentary really makes your videos especially fun and interesting.
Great and interesting video. So many treasures. It must have been a wonderful day for you. I lived right next to the Wachusett reservoir in the early ninety’s. I used to cycle out to the Quabbin reservoir sometimes. I have fond memories of the cycling I did in that great and beautiful area of central Massachusetts.
another example of how boston treats the rest of the state.
What a great video!
You guys are amazing with what you find in your adventures. I never heard of Dana, MA but I thoroughly enjoyed your video. It was interesting and you made it a fun trip. Thanks for all your great videos.
Amazing video. killer hosting and research
It’s kind of sad all those towns were lost, but overall it was beneficial to all of New England. Boston is the primary reason New England has economic wealth and political influence.
So, thank you Dana and other towns for making us one of wealthiest regions on this continent.
Thank you for not advertising the location of the crash and grave site. Hate for them to get overly disturbed from careless people.
my family came from mass
You guys are great tour guides! Ty
One of my grandmothers was born in an under the quabbin in town.
Thank you for the walk along great video i will have to visit dana common i live not far from there thanks again looks like you had a great day
Good Lord, that area would make for an exceptional tournament-caliber disc golf course.
My great grandfather dwight Cooley lived in Dana on the common at the Cooley house
I just went last Saturday, with the blistering heat of 91, probably not the best day to check it out. I was curious where the root cellar, the gravestone and the Indian kitchen are located. I am planning on checking it out again sometime soon. Let me know how I can find them as I definitely want to check them out next time I go. Thanks for sharing this!
Good to see you guy’s didn’t freeze to death this winter it was a brutal one. I for one am so glad it is over at least I hope so. Good to see you roaming again love your video’s.
There’s a really good PBS documentary from channel 57 called "Under the Quabbin" where they actually went underneath it. If you can ever find it somehow I recommend it.
Great vid as always! I wouldn’t want to walk through those woods in mid summer, as on my visit I saw several black racers and a rattlesnake in the school foundation. I would’ve preferred your encounter with the porcupine better!
Wendell Farnsworth had several siblings, most lived long lives. The family moved to Illinois shortly after his death: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/171093807/wendell-phillips-farnsworth
Thanks for letting us tag along with you! (Btw, that Air Force pilot should have known that planes with empty tanks usually don’t explode when crashing. Just sayin’…)
Very Neat Stuff! Glad the world can learn about this stuff.
just another town taken for water …great video
*A lot of viewers have been real entertained by our videos and have ask if there was a way to buy us a Beer. YouTube now has a ‘THANKS’ button under every video, Just click the button.* 😀 *It’s not required or expected, but it is appreciated. THANK YOU!*
Messed up Boston shame on them now Worcester is cheap place to live I had no idea any of this. Tragic
Crazy what people fight over for power messed up
Spring is here. I hope that means we’ll be getting some more abandoned videos.
Appreciated the video , I live in Eastern MA and didn’t know that even existed at one point. Looking for to taking a drive out there one day
The Quabbin area is beautiful. Deer hunted out there. Have to check this out. Great video!
Great tour and info! Keep it up
