I love anything Appalachia. History, hauntings, mysteries, etc.; it's all good! Thanks, JD.

I was born and raised here in Scott County, Tennessee. I was once arrested for a DUI and I spent a few weekends in this jail. I was on the second floor. I wonder if my initials are still on cell. Thank you for this historic video. Growing up here compared to the world outside these mountains, was i guess a different kind of experience. We learned to survive, depending upon ourselves, not asking for governmental help. I am 66yrs old, and this was the safest place to be. Everyone knew everyone and would look out for each other's children. Scott County was once the Independent state of Scott. We annexed ourselves from the state of Tennessee during the Civil War. Please look into that part of our history. Governor Alexander formally accepted us back in the state.

This kind of video makes a great addition to your normal story telling! Would love to see more of this type.

Many thanks, JD. I appreciate all the work you put into each video. Your stories never disappoint. God bless.

Great true story, Miranda and Kris are doing great Restoring and Preserving the history.

This was so good! Seeing the actual place really enhanced the story. As a child I really looked forward to Saturday morning cartoons. Now I look forward to Saturday mornings to wake up & see your posts. 😅❤

I really like the idea of episodes about places in Appalachia. This story was super!!

Yes! I do enjoy the tour of a location and a tour guide with lots of information. Thanks for the video!

I never get tired of these story's. I wish they were on cassette tapes, I'd buy every one. Good video.

Would definitely be down for a tour of the Scott County jail.. love old historic sites..great presentation JD!😊

Thanks JD, for bringing this and other Appalachia stories to us. Keep 'em comin'! Pure Appalachia GOLD!

I look forward to & thoroughly enjoy every single one of your videos!! I am amazed by your research! I am mesmerized by your recounting of our Appalachian history! Thank you so much!!

Really enjoy the stories and really enjoy learning more about Appalachian history and places

Thank you for all the research and time you put into your videos! Truly entertaining and educational!

This sounds like a very interesting tour. Thank you. I will keep this in mind when I am with a group thinking about a field trip event in the future.

Another great story JD. Love hearing of the history behind this jail. Especially interesting was how the "citizens" would take the law into their own hands and issue old west style justice. Great job my friend. Thanks.

Well done Sir, awesome story. Yes historical tidbits ok with me, and may your star continue to shine.❤🍁✨️👏

I really enjoyed this format.

So cool seeing a video of something/somewhere that's just in my "backyard"!!
