We find the Calhoun County Museum and begin a tour. Some of the first part video was lost when a computer crashed. More of the tour will be in an upcoming video/videos. Then Jim tells of days past when his dream in a career of Wrasslin' was on his now feeble mind. We apologize for some of the things our viewers must endure from time to time.

Recently Discovered Civil War Battlefield in Cullman, AL
This site was actually the scene of a bloody battle. They had to bury their dead in trenches like these.
Since it was a Confederate stronghold, they were probably Confederate Soldiers buried in these trenches. Like most families, we had family in the war that fought on both sides.
Look at my ghost video to see the spirit energy that was found on this property. Many paranormal research teams have found irrefutable evidence here.
SmartlyPants found a picture of one of his relative's at the museum. He initially didn't want to tour the property. But after a gentle nudge he paid the nominal entrance fee of $5 a piece. But, the museum and grounds were so interesting, we paid him $20. That would also cover the two cokes he gave me and gave him a nice tip. He never asked or indicated that there would be a charge for the cokes. Plus, he spent 2.5 hours with just me & SmartyPants.
The tour didn't seem like it took that long because it is so interesting. If you are any where close to the Covered Bridge and to The Crooked Creek Civil War Museum, you simply need to go.
Clove Furnace
The Clove Furnace Ruin in Arden, New York, United States, was a longtime smelting site for iron ore mined from nearby veins in what is now Harriman State Park. It is located on Arden Station Road just east of the New York State Thruway, and can easily be seen from the highway. It was built in 1854 by Robert & Peter Parrott, who also owned and operated numerous mines in the area, known collectively as the Greenwood Iron Works.[1] Together with the Greenwood Furnace (c.1810), located roughly one half mile east of Clove, these two furnaces produced iron which supplied the Parrott's West Point Foundry at Cold Spring, NY. The foundry produced the famous and highly effective Parrott Rifle (cannon) utilized by the Union army during the Civil War. The furnace shut down permanently, shortly after Robert Parrott's death in 1877.[2]
In 1973, these buildings were added to the National Register of Historic Places. They are on Columbia University's Arden property, but open to the public occasionally as a museum.

Cornwall Furnace in Cedar Bluff Alabama
ames Noble, Sr., and his five sons began operating the Noble Brothers foundry in Rome, Georgia, in 1855. In 1862 the Confederate States of America commissioned the company to build two new furnaces, in exchange for cannons, caissons, and other products.[4] Construction of the furnace began shortly thereafter, involving an estimated 1,000 Confederate soldiers and slaves from nearby plantations.
The furnace went into production in either late 1862 or early 1863. Charcoal was produced on nearby farms and plantations to fire the furnace, and water power from the Chattooga River was used to power the blast. The pig iron ingots manufactured at the furnace were sent to the Noble Brothers' foundry in Rome for the manufacture of war materials. The furnace was knocked out of production for the remainder of the war by Union troops in 1864.
It was put back into operation after the war in 1867, but was blown out permanently in 1874. Evangelist Samuel Porter Jones worked at the furnace some time after the Civil War operating an ox cart. The property changed hands several times over the next 100 years.
