I know I have a lot to say but anyway, Judy Garland had a look that no one else had. She had her own look which is amazingly beautiful and gorgeous. ❤

[@cristinweekley2547]

I live in Minneapolis Minnesota and I went there the day before the ruby slippers were stolen. That was amazing to lay eyes on those! I’m a big Judy Garland buff!! The house and the museum was amazing! Thanks for the vlog

[@alancumming6407]

A great many thanks to both of you for this amazing visit. What a beautiful property! Also, thank you for filming as you descended the stairs, it created quite a magical effect - suddenly we saw the property as the home Judy knew. As overseas viewers, it is unlikely we will ever be able to visit all the fascinating places you take us to. We really appreciate these terrific vlogs.

[@pbg624]

After learning about her childhood as well as her life, despite loving the wizard of oz ever since I was a child I can’t look at that movie the same way anymore. I recently saw it in theaters when they brought ir back for the 85th anniversary and when I saw her on screen i got sad.

[@user-ot2bv2sb5r]

Thank you Jordan for sharing this part of Judy Garlands life,and where she lived. God Bless You.

[@virtualpaintstudio]

Judy and the gang had the "Cowardly Lion"🦁; and we have "Jordan the Lion"🦁! Thank you both for another great video!🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@nancyjohnson5810]

I remember hearing about how my grandmother baby sat for Judy as a kid. That would be about right as my grandmother was born in 1908 herself. Making her 14 when Judy was born. My grandmother was Mildred (Millie) Garfield. RIP

[@HollandDennisMcRae]

I absolutely love Judy Garland that museum and house are beautiful. Glad you got to go. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@2Hearts3]

Volumes have been written about her life. Sadness abounds. But so does Judy's indomitable spirit, talent, and treasure of performances and legacy of love for her children. May she rest in peace 👑✝️🕊️🙏♥️

[@bitscolumn]

Thanks for spending time in my state! I am in Minneapolis (retired), but I lived in the Brainerd Lakes area and many other parts of Minnesota. I am very familiar with Grand Rapids. I enjoyed your visit when you stopped here to do the piece on Francis Scott Fitzgerald. People are surprised when they learn of all the famous people who were born or lived in Minnesota. Keep up the great work!

[@marthaturki4891]

Love the wallpaper and furnishings, they did a wonderful job. Thanks for sharing Jordan!❤❤🐾🐾

[@elizabethharrison7306]

Judy Garland Love my favorite one fan BIG 💖

[@marylouruss1087]

My grandparents had the same ice box , washer and kitchen stove. She had such a beautiful voice.I learned how to sew on that kind of sewing machine. If you stopped your rhythem next thing your sewing backwards..lol.. Thank you so much for the trip.

[@lakeerie5857]

And we sell items like those shown. Beautiful home

[@Lololeelee]

Judy went to school at the Central School here in the middle of Grand Rapids. I fear you might have missed it. The architecture is interesting. There’s the Judy Garland Festival every summer when the munchkins would show up. The school was going to be torn down but other people rescued it. I pass by this place about once a week. I also used to live by Bob Dylan’s house in Hibbing and didn’t even know 😅. So fun to see this video and have others enjoy it! Judy was wonderful.

[@DisWldFrk90]

Future tip: go during the Judy Garland Festival they have every year and take the VIP bus tour. They'll take you inside the building she first performed in and show you some cool stuff. Like remnants that remain of the original theater in the basement. They'll also show you the hospital (housing complex now) she was born in and point to the room, and they'll take you to see her baptism record as well the church still holds. If you're lucky you might even meet some Judy historians.

[@jennifursun3303]

love love the wallpaper such a sad life for a talented person

[@pattibrooks1907]

Big fan of Judy Garland since like 7 years old but recall watching The Wizard Of Oz at my Nana s house when I was 4 years old !Had many of her albums from age 11 till I moved then some of her cds from the 90s through up till like 2013 or so ! Will look for her DVDS records CDS tapes at thrift stores do have two of her DVDS and her movies on DVR on TCM channel on cable TV !

[@440SPN]

Thanks for sharing. What a beautiful house for that period. Makes me sad she suffered so much abuse.😢

[@karenleemallonee684]

It is a cute little home, it is so sad that sadness lived there for Judy. The gift shop is really awesome, I found myself saying, I want to buy this for my Daughter & that for my Granddaughter! 😊 Thank you, Jordan & Katie!!! 👍👍

[@swansfan6944]

Considering the life she had, I’m truly amazed with what she was able to give to us. This was wonderful to see, I loved 🥰 this and I love Judy. Thank you Jordan and Katie. ❤Jodie.🇦🇺

[@sofiakerringtontheauthorch2300]

Ive never been to the States, but Id love to go. And see this. Im a big fan of Judy so this was spectacular.❤

[@wendyobrien2843]

Interesting vlog. So sad to hear the details about her father and the abortion she was forced to endure. Truly explains alot about her life & career. She carried so much sadness with her as an adult. Beautiful home for the time period. Thank Jordan & Katie.

[@akrenwinkle]

If it's any consolation, there's really no evidence or proof she aborted the baby of husband David Rose, or later, the baby of boyfriend Tyrone Power. She just told people she did.

[@SueProv]

Wow this is amazing. Thank you Jordan.

[@aliciacruz5957]

Enjoyed the house and walkthru very much Jordan❤❤

[@fortinrose1]

She was beautiful just being her ❤❤❤

[@nancywelsh8028]

Thank you both for coming to Minnesota for these videos! I wish that you were coming to my hometown of Hibbing MN. It also has some great historical sites and a beautiful high school. It is so well taken care of that I thought all schools were like that. I found out that is not the case. Come back to Northern Minnesota sometime. We would love to have you. ❤️🫶🏻😘

[@Shogunwario]

Yesterday i found the wizard of oz on blu ray at goodwill, i seen it dozens of times allready in the past,tonight i put it in to watch it, i got a lil drowsey and opened youtube remembering that this channel had done something in the past about judy garland to find a new video just released ,its so weird to me the timing of it all. When you see judy garland in that role your drawn to find out all you can and thats what i did.

[@user-rs4qc8mx7u]

One of the best story I've heard that judy garland was sing one of best turntunes songs and had a full blown melt down and storm off stage live album(Judy AT Carnegie Hall-1961)-DLH

[@matthewfarmer2520]

I have the same cd at Carnegie Hall live Sunday, April 23 at 8:30 P.M. on the bottom of the sleeve. It's a two records on one cd.

[@sweetlifehappywife3460]

Proud Minnesotan right here! Thanks for doing this vlog Jordan! ❤

[@davejr02]

[@maryblaufuss7533]

One of the best female vocalists, ever!

[@johnventrella3403]

[@user-fu1kx7sj1x]

I would love to see Judy garlands childhood home in grand rapids min she could sure sing so well I have a two cd 💿 of her music 🎶 good vlog jordan

[@dustinatwood2620]

Omg Judy Garland is my favorite entertainer ever to walk this earth. She performed with so much dazzle and brilliance , and emotion. I have watched every movie she made, and anytime I find Judy things I pick them up. Judy was so much more then Dorothy.

[@jayweiss4378]

Judy was in the one of the greatest movies ever made….

[@spencerbergquist781]

They had a beautiful home. I never even knew this museum existed. I always thought she was from Pocatello, Idaho, because she sang about that in a song.

[@dodiatkins4515]

Good morning 😊Please give Jah a kiss and hug for me. Hope to find you all doing well.❤

[@Rochellelauren1]

[@suesmith9202]

I enjoyed that thank you

[@matthewfarmer2520]

Thanks for sharing this, good to see your girl with u. I have her on CD that looks like the album its a cd live at Carnegie Hall in New York. She sings her movie hits and melodys in one cd. Its a two record set on one cd. This was great to see her childhood home 🏠

[@cathpeterson1944]

Minnesota is in my backyard other side of the border, so neat to see museum honouring her beginnings, life and acting singing talents, cute victorian house where it all began

[@maricelacamarillo1487]

Thank you good trip❤❤❤❤

[@suzanwahlquist3258]

Hi neighbor, Just across the border in the state of wisconsin. Love Minnesota and love Wisconsin.Glad to know you're up in our neck of the woods. It will be fun. Have a good day to both of you.❤ 🪵

[@tinahughes2552]

Beautiful home. 🏠

[@debbiejones3911]

Very enjoyable video.

[@kristibrownoly]

I loved the story about the sisters sitting on the porch steps offering a taste of fresh whipped cream, only it was soap! Haha!

[@johnm8891]

Jordan is up in my neck of the woods! Sorry about the weather. As the old timers used to say, we have 9 months of winter and 3 months of bad sledding. I'm surprised you didn't talk about the theft of the ruby slippers. Very bizarre story.

[@roknrolbilly]

awsommmmmm...... thanks jordan! theres no place like home.....

[@SnarkyLady]

👠 👠

[@maryblaufuss7533]

A wonderful, educational and entertaining video as always, thank you so much! And, um...special thanks to Jordan's right shoulder at 0:20. I didn't know how to lead into it, but it's been bothering me for some time. It's still embarrassing and difficult to, you know, say anything, but I got to the point that I couldn't not.

[@ChloeGotLB40]

To be honest, this home wasnt in this exact location when Frances lived there. It was actually located on the other side of town and moved here. I learned that when i visited last August.

[@user-fx8fp8lr1g]

Can I hope she’s having a good time in heaven I think it was hard for here on earth but thank you today we love you❤

[@LynneLovett]

Thank you for taking us along Mr. Jordan and Ms Katie. Safe travels and adventures both of you...Jah as well.

[@LynneLovett]

Blessed Tuesday night Moss family ♥️🙏.

[@MarthaJOHNSON-iu4wk]

Thanks you showing me this

[@user-qv2cq5kv1h]

That was so cool!!!! I loved it! Thanks Jordan and Katie!! She had a horrible life!!! ❤❤❤ 0:49

[@AmberLizzieBow444]

So cool

[@catherine6653]

I ❤ seeing the vintage piano 🎹

[@heavenawilson7271]

So the house is now a Judy Garland Museum..How very nice...Hope the family own the house..

[@tinahughes2552]

Omg I loved Judy Garland. ❤❤❤

[@baylorsailor]

Looks like you entered through the mud room on the back of the house when walking into the actual house. Also, yes the parents would have definitely shared a bed unless they were wealthy, and in that case they would have had separate rooms. The whole double bed thing was a novelty of the mid-twentieth century.

[@johnkaufman5474]

I believe George Jessell suggested the name "Judy Garland."

[@janicewright6375]

I knew she had a tragic life, but did not know her parents tried to abort her. Wow. No matter how bad I feel sometimes Judy singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" always cheers me up. She was so talented and what a voice she had. It's so sad that she was ever treated badly.

[@theTizsilent]

Best Judy Garland movie ever was Meet me in St. Louis!

[@maryblaufuss7533]

It was really good. When I lived in St. Louis I went in search of the real house that the movie referred to, but all I found was a vacant lot. Jordan, might there be enough MMIStL lore to make a vlog on the subject?

[@celestialskye1]

The parlor looks like the parlor in Meet Me In St. Louis 🧐💖

[@JessMegJolly]

Just putting this in your ear but you should do a video covering Clara Bow, I have no doubt it would gain tons of views 👀

[@MoviemaniaNick]

Nice to see the house Judy Garland grew up in.

[@frankhoward6645]

Interesting house sad life Judy had it's terrible that her mom treated her like nothing hope Jar is doing well thanks for the tour Jordan & Katie

[@haileeraestout5567]

13:57 We Have One Of Those Pichers

[@SueProv]

When you said "Singer sewing machine" I thought of it as a pun.

[@lovelyandsmartcommentator5130]

I was there.

[@bobski7032]

I was almost 7 years old when she died ..the Wizard of Oz was the only thing I saw her in so I assumed she was still young like Dorothy …my mother sugar coated her death by saying she took pep pills to Work hard and sleeping pills to sleep ..but she was the first person I heard of to die from an OD

[@patrickritter3028]

judy garland also did the first a star is born

[@samsheneman3071]

😊

[@lisabudascasey1234]

Lovely home to bad it was a sad childhood home
