New 1-Minute Video Script

Hidden beneath the forest floor, this stone foundation lay forgotten for centuries until it was rediscovered in 2023. The wooden structure that once stood here has long since decayed, leaving only these stones as clues.
We believe it may date back to the 1700s. The foundation is dug into the north side of the slope, a smart design choice that sheltered it from harsh winter winds, while its entrance faced the sunnier southwest. A large pine tree growing from the center shows that it’s been abandoned for well over a hundred years.
But what was it? A small homestead? A barn? Or something entirely different? The stones suggest a chimney—or perhaps a silo—once stood nearby.
Someday, careful excavation may reveal its story. Until then, we invite you to imagine the lives of those early settlers and help us uncover this site’s secrets by sharing your thoughts and theories.

 

This old pioneer foundation was uncovered in 2023. It was hidden in a thicket of trees and bushes. Since then, most of the vegetation has been removed to reveal this mysterious site.
