Linton Hall Alumni Online Video Websites

The following are videos of Linton Hall Military School found on youtube website.
Most videos were originally filmed with 8 mm or Super 8 film cameras, and transferred to video.
I have included shortened urls, tiny.cc LHMSvid1 through tiny.cc/LHMSvid14 to make it easier for you if you are not clicking links directly from my blog. They're also easy to remember when you're not online. The tiny.cc links are not hyperlinks, so they can't be clicked; you'll have to type those in your browser's search box.

Linton Hall School in Britow, Virginia as it looks today (ca. 2021) with some buildings as I remember them, other new features such as the teaching garden. Video taken from a bike, Linton Hall starts at 3:16. Aerial drone views start at 6:43 with neglected/abandoned agricultural buildings, view of suburban sprawl in Bristow near Linton Hall. At 8:43 biker leaves Linton Hall. Most of the video has been speeded up; you’ll have to keep clicking on the pause button. Audio is background music. By Christopher Brown.

The following were uploaded by Marianne Carney, and were taken in 1975-1976. Military Day and graduation had not changed much since the late 1960s when I attended, so these videos will be of interest to many LHMS alumni. A step back in history!
