Cats Fighting the Civil War! Civil War Tails and Mr. Ed's Elephant Museum - Gettysburg, PA

[@meganpeveich8407]

The Civil War cat museum is the most Carpetbagger thing I think I’ve ever seen.

[@PeteRondeau]

Lol, You literally visited my home town, while I'm out of town and down in your south.

[@tacob69]

I'm so glad I'm just a less than an hour and a half car ride to Gettysburg(from Baltimore)I remember going on a couple field trips for school and not caring about it.In the 35 or 40 years since I've probably been up there 20 times.So much to look at and thanks for showing the cat place I'm sure they are going to love you because im going to go and I bet a TON of people will be going because of you.Whoever goes make sure you tell them its because of The Carpetbagger.

[@mizu_the_floatzel]

I seen cats have a good lifespan but I never saw a cat live to be 21 years old. That's amazing! May that cat rest in peace

[@92Pooky]

My Mittens is about 24 years old...my family and I have actually lost count over the years 😅

[@mizu_the_floatzel]

Welcome to Gettysburg Pa. My Grandma liked elephants 🐘 and would like that museum. Seeing the cats 🐈 the Civil War was cool too.

[@Corgis175]

Really enjoyed Mr. Ed's Elephant Museum.

[@MariMiniattL]

My husband and I got to have a very long conversation with one of the sisters at Civil War Tails Museum. Wonderful person, great place. We will be going back.

[@karentarr8930]

I an an avid cat collector, would love some of those. I have cat everything everywhere, so jealous 🐈‍⬛🐾🐈 Loved the Ellie Museum, very cool 🐘

[@EGlesner]

Ah, I was in Gettysburg, PA yesterday! Went to Sach's Covered Bridge. Love Mr. Ed's Elephant Museum. Mr. Ed recently passed away :(. The Enchanted Forest was very magical. Sad that the trees had to be felled. The museum used to decorate the trees near the road with seasonal items such as hearts for Valentine's Day, easter eggs for Easter, flip flops for Summer. I believe there is also a geocache located on the property.

[@trax3d]

We're an hour and a half away and we go there frequently. We were just there for Presidents Day weekend. There is so much to see and do just walking up and down Baltimore St and Steinwehr Ave. Last time we went to the Civil War Tails diorama museum was during Christmas a couple years ago. They had a neat little scavenger hunt throughout all of their displays. Gettysburg is one of my favorite places on earth! PS - I miss the Dime Mueseum that was there. We were able to see it a month before it shut down

[@robylove9190]

Thanks Jacob!

[@JennDoe420]

I visited this museum in September of 2020 and adored it! I bought a bunch of their figurines for souvenirs. ❤️ The home itself is also absolutely gorgeous. The sisters who run it actually live upstairs. ☺️

[@the13throse]

Mr Ed's! My parents and I love to go there whenever I'm down on break from college. They have fantastic candy and the setup outside is beautiful.

[@pinkXhippo]

Thank you so much for showing that Mr. Peanut costume! My late grandfather collected Mr. Peanut items and had that costume as well. Brought a smile to see it again. Great video as always.

[@applevalleyhillbillygarden1093]

Thanks for keeping this one at twenty minutes. Love shorter vlogs. It was cool revisiting the cat Civil War and seeing that it still is being added to. Yes, I remember your last vlog from there. That elephant collection is awesome. Love the winking one....

[@aliciabruder1106]

Last week while I was at the cafe on campus waiting for my class to start, on one of the TV’s there was a documentary about this Mr. Ed playing. I didn’t realize he passed away, I remember he said this started during his wedding anniversary with a gift.

[@markisb3585]

I love the history of Gettysburg. I love the video. That pink Elephant was a hair dryer.

[@bg199083]

I went to Gettysburg back years ago. It has soo much history from the Civil War. My best friend Val would definitely love the Civil War Tails Museum too! Have a great day Jake!

[@patrickfairchild2330]

Gettysburg EXUDES history - a good place for silent reflection or cats in battle

[@racheldelgado277]

What a fun vlog. Loved the cats and elephants. Wish the tea pot museum had been open. Thanks Jacob.

[@trfarmer3869]

The pink elephant with the hose coming out of her trunk is a hair dryer. The elephant outside in the red sweater with the A on it represents the University of Alabama Crimson Tide. "Roll Tide"

[@mr_jake.y8348]

Thank you for all of the good videos you put out. Keep up the good work Mr Carpet bagger.

[@jrfree88]

My old neck of the woods. I used to drive by mr Ed’s on my way to college at shippensburg university. Now I’m in Orlando. You always find the most unique attractions in the area. Love your content jacob.

[@Sassyjass2012]

Lana Turner was a popular Hollywood actress, whose career spanned from the 1940s, when she was originally known as the “Sweater Girl,” through the 1980s. Among her more popular movies are “The Postman Always Rings Twice,” “The Bad and the Beautiful” and “Peyton Place.” I also have no idea what she has to do with elephants!

[@xnataliex2254]

Yay!!! You went to Mr. Ed's!!!💗

[@karyn3341]

After watching your channel for a few years I am not longer surprised by anything. A museum of cats fighting the civil war Why not?!!

[@MiladyMacabre]

That pink elephant with a "shower cap" is an old hair dryer. Also, Lana Turner was an American actress, most known during Hollywood's Golden Era. A star for MGM, she was of the most highly-paid US actresses in the mid-40s. I don't know why she owned elephant-design cutlery.

[@mcwatersd]

Interesting tribute to the civil war ,must say very catty. Lana Turner was a famous actress from the 40's who had a 50 yr career .She often starred with Clark Gable, I really can't figure out her connection to elephants unless those cutlery were made from something from an elephant.She was in Falcon Crest on TV as well. Mr. Ed sounds like he was a interesting man. Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤

[@eve4mos]

I love the cat museum. Never been there but it’s still cool

[@zig_zagman]

Love those kitty battlefield reenactments!

[@leeannekochka2166]

Watching this now! My husband and I are civil war reenactors, or were, here in CA. We were in Gettysburg 9 years ago for the 150th and I don’t recall the cat museum! We are also cat lovers so this is great! Imagine all the hours of work to make each figure!

[@DollyKauionalani]

This is the attraction that I never knew that I needed to see. Cats and the Civil War, 2 of my favorite things! I live right near Lookout Mountain and the Chickamauga Battlefield, I'm curious to see if they represent those battles there. A new item added to my bucketlist!

[@BallJoinedWing]

I was just talking abt Mr. Ed's Elephant Museum!!

[@batcatowler1972]

Fun, educational and cute!!!! Great video!

[@k-dramabookgirl1574]

The elephant has a hairdryer on its head 😁

[@amberdb1799]

the pink elephant with the hose and shower cap thing, is a hair dryer

[@nickolasmccallum8521]

i was just at gettysburg back in august last year

[@racheldelgado277]

This is an amazing site. Will have to visit whenever I make my way to Gettysburg. Thank you Jacob.

[@trish5556]

I love cats and was torn between enjoying the Civil War Tails Museum and wondering if it trivialized the conflict. In any case, it was different, and I appreciate you sharing. The elephant museum was cool also.

[@Trashboat444]

Wow, I left a comment about Mr. Ed's a couple months ago. Not sure if you've been there before, but it's cool to see you go there, especially so soon after my comment

[@AllPistonsGarage]

Next time you are in South Georgia you need to visit Wild Adventures theme park

[@nicochicago2028]

Hello CarpetBagger, I like when look of the dog it made when it turned its head turns you.

[@KM-hv1jg]

I’m not sure why they chose cats, but those dioramas were pretty impressive. Each cat was molded individually!

[@tomklock568]

Creative if nothing else! I've never been in this area I need to get up there someday.

[@erinturner9074]

You should check out buffalo bills house while your near PA. Tampa Jay is at the horror convention in Atlanta and ran into the owner of the house and he said it's open to the public now

[@danadavis6097]

Omgosh Jacob!! I just watched a program on the Gettysburg battle this morning! History channel. It's so haunted! Be careful! Lol🤗❤️🙏

[@rocknamputee9089]

Gettysburg & harpers ferry my favorite places on earth, I used to live in MD and was about 1 1/2 hours away and you could do both in one way straight up 340! Love it, thanks for taking me back it's been approx. 5 years since my amp. Plus I'm now about 4 hours away in a different state! Stop in MD on way back and do anything beer& crabs preferable Annapolis, MD. Be safe time traveler!

[@Infindox]

As many times as I've been in Gettysburg, never knew about this place! Definitely going to check that out next time I go. The Japanese sister city stuff was nice. Seeing you drive the road near the battlefield is surreal to me how many times I've been on it lol. Also sad that Mr. Ed died not too long ago, he was a pretty good man in the community.

[@Motherslug-q7l]

Nice you're in PA I only live and hour from Gettysburg.

[@mareekatz]

Welcome 🤗 to my home state of Pennsylvania Jacob.❤ Washington Crossing is another historical area here that u should check out. Safe travels my friend ❤️

[@Eighties-Jadie]

Hello Jacob how are you? Hope you're well. Loved the wee cat dioramas and Miss Ele the elephant animatronic was so cute! 🐘✨❤️ Thanks again for brightening my day and many best wishes ☀️

[@ryansexton3689]

Heading to Gettysburg tonight for some ghost hunting.

[@Jsteng08]

Welcome to Pennsylvanian Jacob👍👍👍

[@NessieMay]

This must have taken so long to make, amazing detail in the dioramas. 👍

[@SoraKirin]

I hiked to some of the monuments with the Boy Scouts. It was not fun but it was cool

[@OldMovieRob]

Lana Turner was an actress from the older classic era of Hollywood, who starred in films like The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946). I'm not sure on the elephant connection though.

[@brrrrharrr]

I didn't get to watch this yet but holy cat am I intrigued

[@dodiatkins4515]

Went to Andersonville several times. Part of summer vacation.❤😊

[@artandmorewithrachelnicole]

Keep up the awesome videos 😊

[@lorrainethepain]

I went to Gettysburg as a kid with my parents. I would've loved to have seen those museums, but we stuck to stuff like the Jenny Wade House (the only civilian to die in Gettysburg by a stray bullet.)

[@Vladimir82623]

Could visit the national road museum in boonesboro, md

[@supermama4748]

Pink elephant is a hair dryer. Lana Turner was both a pin-up model and a film actress.

[@alinaKANIN]

Olyphant is an old spelling of elephant. Spelling in english used to be a free for all!

[@conniecrawford5231]

John Singleton Mosby was the infamous “Grey Ghost” of the Confederacy- he was a well- educated lawyer who returned to practice law after the War ended! To elehat was a hairdryer f the type pupae in the nineteen fifties!

[@patrickfairchild2330]

That's a LOTTA cats

[@brentnashville]

Looks like there was also a vintage Mail Pouch barn across the street from Mister Eds.

[@agerven]

Lana Turner is a very famous, and i think beloved, Hollywood movie star. Known where i live from her award nominated role in Peyton Place, along side her many movies. There seems to be no apparent relation to elephants. I never heard of Olifant Wodka before. In the Netherlands, which Holland is a part of, we used to have a smaller gin (jenever) factory by the name of Olifant (Dutch for Elephant). I thought it went out of business somewhere in the 1960s, but apparently it is still alive today after its's start in 1841. You can order your bottles or crates of Olifant graan jenever now! Very nice museum, with all those different elephants. Mr. Ed seemed to be a very nice person. Also very nice to show some of the civil war events by the Civil War Tails museum. Very good footage there.

[@dethklokemployee]

mere miles from my home, wish i coulda said hello

[@Pb_.]

Yes in THE NETHERLANDS(!!!!!!!!!!!) its called an olifant

[@stifledvoice]

Freud postulated that all collecting stems from unresolved toilet training conflict. Carl Jung said the collecting of "nuts and berries" once needed for survival by our early ancestors, is a motivator in the psychology of collecting. Stay odd Jacob, you've collected a niche of followers that love your content.

[@indyracer56]

So, where did they put the cat pans during the civil war battles?

[@paulfuryes203]

Very cool 😎

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

Jacob, the pink elephant with the hose? Could it have been a Childs Nebulizer?

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

Lana Turner was an Actress. Not sure of her connection with Elephants unless there was a connection with silverware or possibly the tusk/ivory. IDK

[@elizabethmckenna5397]

Gettysburg is one of my favorite places. So historical and peaceful at the same time. On occasion, I would drive from Long Island just to spend the day there. I’ve never been to this attraction. How long has it been there? It’s right next to the orphanage. Unfortunately I’ve never even heard of Mr Ed’s. But something to check out next time I go.

[@robertyoung7962]

Cattastic

[@cathrinewhite7629]

When our civilization is dust in the wind, and future archeologists dig this place up in 1,000 years or so- what will they think?? "Ahh look! A culture based around a cult of cats!"

[@toystorylover5257]

Wow! Two great museums! I love that cat museum. The dog was cute too. The Elephant Museum looks fun. I wonder if they had the Heffalumps and Woosels elephants from the Winnie the Pooh movie. I love the character Heffalump from that movie. Well, thanks for sharing! Have a great day!

[@kyleranderson5557]

I love this! I make n scale train dioramas and this is so so so cool!! This takes so much work to make

[@kristencarlbon4561]

I lived in Shelbyville Tennessee right next to the duck river

[@markdraskovics1962]

HEY, JACOB Well, that Was definitely a very Weird museum little Cats as civil war Confederate and Union Soldiers It's really Cool and who ever done all the battlefield must of been very talented But also had a lot of Time on there hands As well I myself like It And seeing that Elephant museum was Very cool and a reality Fun and Enjoyable to see and wish I could go Visit the place... Ok take care stay safe and will see you on the next video project

[@professordreamer8479]

The Carpetbagger can you do a video of going to a video game bar.

[@mikehughes4969]

Ok, so, you were really at a place that has cats reenacting the civil war, right? I wasn't hallucinating right?

[@CindyMiraglia]

Snow White hung out with 7 dwarfs and Lana Turner was a pin up model and actress.

[@penxor53]

I would say that museum proves the Civil War was just one giant cat fight, but that might be considered sexist

[@william.weir2023]

the cat thing is crazy...

[@Disleelandia]

Did ya pack a derm elephant out of the museum?

[@carlosrodriguezborges2990]

it show time Mr. CB

[@_The_Worst_]

I'd love to wear that Mr. Peanut🥜outfit while out and about, just for fun and for recreational purposes and enjoyment...💯✔️

[@salty6pence672]

Lover of dwarfs..........😆🤣😂😜

[@anneiwanowski9653]

This was great! I know you have a great love for cat as do l. That was amazing! Do you know if they were handmade? I loved the elephant museum as well. The pink elephant with the hose and plastic hair bonnet was a old hair dryer that you put over your curlers to dry ladies or little girls hair, I'm not positive! Take care and see you soon!

[@seantumpa5529]

Go every year for the last 6 years

[@Dreamybloo101]

Wow man interesting

[@sharene411]

That was a hair dryer...with the hose.

[@lobbymccawker2083]

Lana Turner was a famous actress from the great days.

[@chrishutchinson2297]

FYI Lana Turner with a famous actress starting basically in the forties. You had a 50-year career. But I'm not sure what she had to do with elephants

[@kimsilcox1160]

That's a old hairdryer.
