Welcome to our latest episode, where we take you deep into the heartland of America to explore the remarkable story of the Myers family and their once-thriving empire.

For generations, the Myers family built their fortune on the booming industries that shaped the nation. From mining and processing valuable minerals to contributing to the vast agricultural landscape, their influence was felt far and wide.

But as the industries that defined the region declined and people sought better opportunities elsewhere, the Myers family faced a devastating reality. In 1981, they packed their bags, leaving behind their magnificent home and a treasure trove of memories, never to return.

Despite its current state of decay, the Myers Mansion remains a remarkable testament to the family's wealth and the region's history. Built-in the 19th century, it was a grand and opulent home that boasted every luxury one could dream of.

Join us as we step back in time and unlock the secrets of the Myers Mansion, uncovering the stories and memories that still echo within its walls. From the family's rise to power to their heartbreaking fall from grace, this is a tale you won't want to miss. So sit back, relax, and let's dive into the fascinating world of the Myers family.

The 1980s was not as long ago as you think! The house most certainly looks like a weekend home and I doubt it's been abandoned as long as you think. Often, what happens is that when parents pass, the grown kids aren't interested in the "old stuff" and a property in the country. They probably still own it but have no interest in it. I think it's very sad. Someone on here commented that they were glad we've moved on from the 80s to modern technology. Not me! I would love to go back to my younger years in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Life was incredibly less stressful. Your attention was on others and not cell phones. The porch was built that way because in hot summers, you sat on the porch to cool off and socialize. The front porch was like talking on the phone or texting or sending a video chat. Folks visited and you cooked and ate outside. We still do! It was a truly "lovely" thing to do and still is. You might find that the house is or is not centrally cooled and heated. I didn't see any window units. What is so bizarre to me is to realize that some of these hosts could be my own kids or grandkids. I tell you what, when you get older, you will always feel (in your head) the age you are now even though your body gets older. So, 1981 wasn't so very long ago. I'm ready to go back right now. How I miss those days!

My grandmother and grandfather also left their mansion when they died and I'm the one who taking care of it now, as long as I can I do everything to keep the memories forever, leaving old mansion which is built with full of love on my grandparents is 😢 so painful, like this videos 😢

[TalentGumbi]

It would be great to have one of the children talk about the experience and why they up and left EVERYTHING. this was great to watch

[valeriesuttonpayne]

I love how respectful the two gentlemen are of the family’s possessions. And so appreciative of the furnishings.

I can tell you one thing for certain- this was NOT just abandoned back in the 80's. That postcard in the piano room was dated in 2003, and Teletubies didn't premier until 1997. This was likely a summer house for the family that just eventually fell into disuse- maybe they couldn't afford upkeep on it anymore, or maybe it is a case where the parents died and the kids just didn't want to deal with it, and left it to rot.

The postcard was dated 7/26/2003. These always make me sad to see such personal items left in abandoned home. I work in healthcare with seniors and I can only imagine how many could have an abandoned home that they are unable to return to.

Our front porches are our "outside parlors." I'm 75 years old and I can tell you first hand about them. Back before air conditioning, I remember my entire family, and a few visitors we had invited for Sunday afternoon lunch, would go out onto the front porch after eating to cool off. The deep porch and high ceiling over the porch, surrounded by trees provided wonderful shade. My father would bring out his guitar and play and we would sing every song we knew. I fell out of our swing when I was 4 years old because my aunt, who was only 13 years older than me was swinging too high. Great explore!

This is my favorite channel for abandoned houses/mansions/chateaus. The care he takes when touching the abandoned items and the attention to detail he takes when replacing the items in their original spots shows just how much he cares about the people’s history. Too many abandoned hunters are careless and don’t take the time or energy to try to learn anything about the property or its previous owner

The garage was my favorite part. Those vintage cars were so satisfying to watch...

The owner of this house could be John Henry Myers of Georgia who died July 2015 .He seemed to pass away in a nursing home. He was a navy vet. He was the last surviving member of his immediate family. If it’s him, he worked at Habersham Hardware for decades. Had a daughter Carol Myers Lord of Baldwin . Also daughter and in-laws Wanda and James Thompson of Alto. Also Geraldine and Jerry Nunnally. These ppl are still alive.

if you pause to read the letter at 15:07, it reads:
Dear Jack,
I have been meaning to write to you for months! Thank you for your note and photographs of your lovely home. My sister, brother and I are deeply pleased that you have decided to breathe new life into a gracious old home (perhaps not so great a _??_ as the Celcius library). I hope you will be able to do so soon!
Very best, Elizabeth Jones.

The letter is dated 7/26/03 so the notion of them leaving in the 80's is not as accurate. I think after the family had initially left or stopped going to the house, Jack may have needed a place to stay and went back in the early 2000's to live there and try to restore it. The picture on the front of the postcard is of the Celcius Library in Turkey, which is where the letter was sent from. There's lots of context clues of stuff inside these homes you all could use to paint a clearer picture of the history of each place.

My respects. You guys are beautiful. It was refreshing to see how you conducted yourselves in such a respectful and caring manner to the furniture and belongings of the home. Whether that home was actually inhabited in the 80's, 90's, or last doesn't matter. You did phenomenal job.👍

[lynny]

I love seeing all of these places and thinking about the family and all the history. And I really love the respect you show for all the things left behind in these homes. This was a beautiful place.

This is amazing! I’m just surprised that non of the children returned to the house later on to collect any of the family pictures or belongings. As well everything is still there and no one vandalized or stole any or the priceless furniture!

[bashachannel]

This family is so wealthy., the car says it all..wow...and these two man is so very respectful., so much fun watching these videos🌻

[Savvy]

Watching these abandoned houses and mansions shows impermanence and everything is temporary. So live a happy and healthy life. You have to leave everything behind when you die. It’s scary also to think that way

[robbriner]

I'm old enough (60s) to have broken down three households of relatives after they died, and the only reason those places (one apartment, one single family home, and one mobile home) didn't end up like this Abandoned Mansion is because I took responsibility and transitioned everything as best I could. Many objects and items that were valuable to them ended up being given away or discarded because they weren't equally valuable to me. It's sad but inevitable, as will be most of my possessions after I shuffle off this mortal coil. We're born to acquire and die to release what we once grasped and admired. Death breaks the spell of ownership.

[rhondapicha]

The chairs and the front living room of this home, with the peacocks and the claws are the most beautiful I’ve ever seen on your channel. They are absolutely amazing.

[sunu]

You guys are so respectful. Your whole approach to documenting these finds is just amazing. You are like #1 in this field. ❤

The photo at 36:55 in the bedroom is of an American Actress Betty Davis. The photos of the Cleavers on the Fridge is of a 1950s sitcom family T.V. show. Thanks for another great video Lesley & Danny.
