America's FIRST Wax Museum POTTER's Wax Museum ST. AUGUSTINE

[@Perrosiutico]

In 1966, I was the youngest guide (17) that ever worked at Potter's Wax Museum, leading several tours a day, commenting on the lives of between 250 and 300 historical figures.

[@karenshow1963]

I really like how they set out the displays, what a great Wax Museum! Thanks for that one Jordan. Enjoyed it very much, chamber of horrors was good.

[@bananabicycleseat6796]

Will Rogers looked so real I darn near expected him to start speaking

[@esthergarcia1373]

Wonderful wax Museum and great job in covering it all, Jordan 👍Thanks for sharing this experience. I love how knowledgeable you you are with all of the figures shown as in all your vlogs. ❤️🙏🏻🌴

[@KeriLudwig1027]

I jumped when you zoomed in on Hitler :) Thanks for another cool vlog, Jordan! I love St. Augustine, FL. There is so much to do and see.

[@bessiegilliam6007]

I had seen the Fountain of Youth and Potters Wax museum, StAugustine is my favorite place so glad that Jordan did two blogs of this wonderful city

[@davidellis5141]

I enjoyed the museum particularly the odd coupling of Ray Charles & Beethoven. Also , you get Pat Nixon but no Jackie O. Quirks that keep you interested. Nice.

[@whatsupwithrichard]

So many historical figures. Like a world history book in wax figures.

[@sandeesparkles9682]

They did a good job recreating them. The 1st wax museum that's not full of just actors/musicians. Very interesting, my husband says he wants to go! Great vlog!

[@cookingwiththekidd2200]

I love wax museums. They are fun with a little creepy added in. Love the historical figures. I prefer the historical to the pop stars as well. Thanks Jordan

[@chrishutchinson2297]

What a fun wax museum. You don't get to see the historical figures much anymore. And boy they did a great job on those faces. Enjoyed it very much.

[@pewaniuk]

So very cool to see renditions in body form of people you've only ever seen in paintings! And not the ones that are in every other wax museum. As a side note, my great aunt dated one of the Wright Brothers but I never found out which one - and he used to "buzz" her house in his plane. lol What a great vlog. Thanks.

[@gabbyberry8462]

I don’t understand how anyone could thumbs down any of his videos, he’s the best! Thank you so much for your videos😊💫

[@debbiedunn8600]

I live in Florida been to ST. Augustine so many times for Ghost tours and investigations. Love this city the old drug store was always one of my favorite places. This is a much better place for the Wax Museum that the building it was in before. Thanks for taking us along with you. Great video

[@karentucker2161]

I wished it still had the drug store stuff. The previous owners had the stuff. I don't really care for the workers that work at this wax museum. I live near st. Augustine and go all the time. Some things are, once you seen one, you seen them all. Especially the night of lights. I wished they switch them up once in awhile lol 😆

[@MissouriPenny]

This was awesome .thanks for sharing. Binge watching again this weekend .12/2023

[@BatsBabyGirl1856]

Jordan you did a really good job on this vlog can’t wait to see what Your next vlog will be

[@misslovejoy1665]

These wax figures are really good, some great work! I also love how well you pronounced the French & German names of the composers (I'm from Europe). :) Enjoying your December posts SO much! Thank you for keeping us entertained.

[@PaulLoughrin]

Glad you enjoyed the wax museum in St. Augustine, Mr. Jordan! Thanks for visiting The Sunshine State. 🌞😎

[@maryjohnson9506]

Jeff and I loved the walk through the wax museum how fun to see all the wax figures. We used to love the one in Buena Park

[@goddessdevinelovek89karkay81]

Amazing, see those historical people in wax! 😲

[@CharlesCornettFL]

Ray Charles was included not only for his musical genius (among other geniuses), but because he spent roughly 10 years living and learning at the St. Augustine School for the Deaf and Blind. It was there that he learned he piano, and set him off on a path to greatness.

[@dstaugustinefl8832]

Great Job Jordan I love that Wax Museum. I have spent hours in there. You will love the Fountain of Youth and all the Peacocks that roam free there !!!

[@mariaday712]

Great wax figures. What a fun place. Thanks for bringing us here. Stay safe, take care and God bless,

[@cocoasista]

Hey Jordan keep doing an awesome job. Still a big fan! Hoping more people get on your wagon. But I will be happy to say I knew you before you hit it big. Thanks for letting me travel along during the pandemic. You take my mind away from it all. Keep going and God bless.

[@alancumming6407]

Thank you for visiting this amazing Wax Museum. The models were really life like - don't think I would want to spend a night alone in there.

[@donnastedham9822]

Loved your visit to Potter's Wax Museum. When you zoomed in on Frankenstein's face, I fully expected his eyes to open up and look right at you. Great vlog.

[@57Banjoman]

Pretty good Munster laugh! Thanks for a great video, Jordan!

[@robertloken8613]

So, you were in Ocala and didn't come by to see me.... I'm hurt....LOL.... Great vlog, planning a return trip to St. Augustine very soon, it is a very interesting place.

[@ellennewth6305]

Excellent vlog, Jordan! Thank you for escorting us through this museum and sharing these incredible wax figures with us. It was like taking a stroll through history! Couldn't believe the lack of traffic on the road to St. Augustine!

[@nileswilson577]

You should have seen the first place were they had it. I grew up here. GREAT Job 👍 Love St Augustine.

[@kimberlydavis7970]

The wax museum. Did a very good job on making them look lifelike.

Ray Charles playing 4 hand piano with Beethoven... they need to move Stalin tho.

[@judithmitchell4667]

Great vlog today Jordan. It was nice to see historical figures instead of only celebrities. I really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing this. Have a great day. Blessings - Judith 🎵🎭

[@kimberlymckim5476]

Thank You Jordan I live in Florida I've been to St. Augustine several times never that museum was there and Ray Charles is probably included in those musicians cause he went to the School for the Deaf and Blind in St. Augustine and that's where he got his start there's or there was a free city tour you could take around the city .

[@joanr381]

I love St. Augustine....great wax museum, the Creature from the Black Lagoon was my favorite!

[@sg2823]

Yes excellent vlog! Spot on wax figures, Incredible talented people doing that work.

[@debraestrada3524]

That's so cool place.Thanks for showing us.

[@jasonmcgovern1364]

Hi Jordan, I love a good Wax Museum. I thought Leonardo Da Vinci looked like 'Dumbledore' from 'Harry Potter'. A nice one of Annie Oakley. I liked the music in the background aswell. Nice to see Walt Disney and Mickey. Herman Munster made me laugh, you can always count on him to make you smile. Some good one's in there. Great vlog Jordan.

[@royherzogjr.9686]

The wax museum video was really cool Jordan😎

[@reneerenee9774]

That was really cool, thanks for sharing ☺️If it wasn't for you I would never be able to see these things.

[@robertevans8024]

Thank you so much Jordan ! That's someplace I'll never get around to visiting. But I really enjoyed seeing a wax museum for the first time. So cool ! 👍👍💖💯

[@markmorgan2058]

This was alot of fun Jordan, I so enjoyed the entire video's . Your so prefessional , with your camera shots and narration . You had me giggling , just great . Made my day thankyou ✔😂😂😂💙it👍.

Glad you made it over to St. Augustine. I live about 20 minutes north of Potters.

[@jasonmeadows4567]

love your videos Jordan. Always interesting with great stories. You do your homework!!

[@kellysisney1383]

This is pretty cool thanks for the tour

[@mlm21]

I love wax museums. Been to St. Augustine but never this museum.

[@evonnewilson1073]

Very cool place. I love how their focus was on history.

[@Sam-cg6rv]

Been to both of them, great place. Love watching this!!!!

[@denis65]

I saw in St. Augustine last year to meet up with friends. Now I wish I'd gone into the museum! Next time!

[@krisschobelock4973]

I was probably at Potter's Wax Museum when the guy below was working there! I was probably 5th or 6th grade . . and I remember it being huge!! My parents bought a book from there and each page had a different figure and everything about that figure - yes, I remember very few stars mostly historical figures - back then there almost 250 figures - there's only about 130 now. BUT what I remember most was we were almost through the museum when they flashed the lights and made an announcement saying they were closing because there was a hurricane coming!! We stayed just ahead of that hurricane that entire vacation it seems like! LOL The museum at least from this "tour" seems like it's quite a bit smaller or at least more compact. Potter's is the 1st and oldest wax museum in America - Mr. Potter started it after seeing Madame Tussauds in London!

[@CottageCupcake]

Yes that was great! Thank you Jordan 🎯from an Ohioan

[@naturegeek6201]

Ray Charles > America the Beautiful Coincidentally that song was running through my head just before you showed him.

[@joanndallas4683]

What fun! You sure can find interesting places to take us :)

Just came back from St Augustine last week. Hopefully you get to see the Nights of Lights!

[@brettevans9492]

Wax figures are so cool and creepy at the same time. I went to madame tussaud's in Vegas it was great. I think it's cool this one is devoted to historical folks

[@brucesmith3740]

These seem to be the best wax figures

[@kimberlymckim5476]

And they point out that Ray Charles went to the School for the Deaf and Blind

[@QuinceyG]

Loved seeing all of these historical figures. Eerie looking into the eyes of Hitler, Stalin and Musalini

[@sharonmack4170]

LOL, Seeing Ray threw me for a loop as well. What? LOL. Some of the wax figures are better than others but overall good.

[@edsonvazquez1984]

15:51 As an interesting fact When he was sentenced, he agreed to be part of an experiment that sought to know to what extent of a hanging he was able to answer questions by doing hand signals

This was great. The Ernest Hemmingway is Charles Dickens.

[@rbarker1706]

Overall, the likenesses were very good! Strange and excellent episode!

[@mjayp320]

3:59 - The Wilber Wright one almost looks like Jack Klugman in the the 1960's. These figures were good. Some were a little off. I also thought the Patton one looked like a cross between the real Patton & GC Scott.

[@crush41gb]

I reactively said Hogg after Jefferson Davis lol! These look pretty good! Well, except Rambo's blonde hair lol?! Thank you kindly for taking us along, bud! 😊

[@lauragee3365]

Neat! looks amazing

[@duckofearl]

They look better than the old, Louis Tussaud figures, from Blackpool waxworks, England. They were roundly mocked as looking nothing like the real celebrities. Fortunately, the more iconic Madame Tussaud has since taken over the business..

[@vanessawilcoxson4491]

Love it.

[@lindapsota6914]

I've only been to Madame Tussauds in London. This looked better than the one you went to in Prague.

Great info! I love the original house of wax movie with Vincent Price and Charles Bronson.

@@DazewithJordantheLion well go over to the ale works and check out the building if you are still there. also there is a poster from the original film in the wasxmuseum. also the first ripleys the castle is in st augustine another thing worth checking out. st augustine is my favorite place to visit.

Michaelangelo did a few self-portraits of him.

..Thanks - very nice discovery/wax figures....some were on the cusp of being -BoBo- / but they Looked More like the person than Not. Appreciate it :)

[@wtfanimejosh]

Weird they put Stalin on the Axis side in the museum. He was an Ally and good friends with FDR. So much that it annoyed Churchill and made it kinda frosty between the two of them.

[@steveperry921]

They have Stalin in the right place. Mass murderer. One of the worst along with Mao.
