Giant Abandoned President's Heads

[@Robothut]

Amazing quality of the sculpting on those heads. Much better than most wax museums. It would be interesting for you to track down where the heads were made and interview them as to how they did it and how long each head took . Good Vlog.

[@TheCarpetbagger]

+Robothut there are two other similar parks with similar structures that are also closed down....I have heard they all used the same molds

[@ARMIV4]

Could you imagine someone in the far future accidentally stumbling upon these and having no historical context for what they were?

[@thandoreviews8886]

they will simply do what we have done lol… and that’s how things on and on

[@adamberaha]

near future...

[@justthat69]

as much as I think that be funny I would think we'd have the internet far future. but idk maybe l'm dumb and 2162 will be the day the aliens come take our resources and f*** with our women

[@williamhild1793]

"We have determined that the inhabitants of this planet...called earth...was once populated by beings about 75 feet tall, of which, 15 feet was the head. Our conclusion is that these beings' heads would fossilize upon death, while the rest of the body rotted away, leaving only the fossilized head. All this planets inhabitants appear to be Caucasian males, which might possibly explain their extinction"

[@wildflowerrunner4236]

"Too soon?" Seriously, I actually LOLed, a rare occurrence indeed.

[@myfamilymatters]

Those head busts are really well done. The likeness to the actual people is amazing but unsettling, all at the same time. Maybe each head bust could be restored and shipped to the respective home towns, of each former president. It reminds me of a documentary I saw where Russia has a graveyard of statues of former leaders.

[@agerven]

Good idea, of putting these busts in their respective home towns!

[@DonnaBrooks]

These would be excellent as part of the Smithsonian Collection, or to send to each Presidential Library or museum, or to have on the National Mall, Lafayette Park (across the street from the White House, or for the White House itself, where they could be displayed on a rotating basis, based on birth month or a significant anniversary (when they took office, famous speeches, deaths, etc.) For example, Jefferson & Adams died on July 4, 1826, exactly 50 years after the Declaration of Independence was ratified. It would be cool to display their statues along with that story in July 2026!

[@BridgetteTurco]

You used to see those things from the highway, it's crazy. So cool though! I didn't know why they were there!

[@katherinedorton4562]

Porcelain Ikr right. We used to seem them passing through

[@WORLDWIDELAU]

I SHOT A MUSIC VIDEO THERE kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqOtopiPmLqLqZY

[@Toppervision1]

LOL, "Too soon?"

[@reids97]

That's really cool yet creepy.

[@dlsweigert]

the drone footage was still pretty cool

[@OLCtv]

so he ran out of money when the black president came about huh lol

[@CorinnaAtHome]

OLCtv exactly what I'm saying lol

[@angelawatson7453]

right!

[@angelawatson7453]

lol..smh

[@OLCtv]

Angela Watson I couldn't resist lol

[@marlanalaw669]

It wasn’t bc he was black it bc he sucked as a president duh.

[@godofzombi]

"A drone underneath my drone" DRONECEPTION!

[@robertmoore8076]

Sad to see all this go to rot. And if I remember correctly, Adam the Woo saw something similar with the presidents heads in Texas. It was in Houston Texas where Adam saw the presidents heads. He said a man started two separate parks the displayed the presidents and unfortunately both are closed and the presidents busts are slowly rotting away...

[@TheCarpetbagger]

+Robert Moore yep, they were two separate parks

[@mcescher1957]

Unbelievable! Thanks Jacob....I never even knew these existed. BTW, it wasn't FDR with "leprosy" (lol) ...it was Woodrow Wilson!

[@DonnaBrooks]

I had no idea this existed! It really bothers me that these figures are sitting out in the elements, in the mud, and so few people have ever even heard of these figures! Thanks for covering this. This is my fave "off the beaten path" discoveries I've seen you feature so far!

[@qte5530]

And the artists did an awesome job. As I always say you do. Thanks again for sharing this bit of history with us all.

[@quinnm4240]

I just started watching your channel yesterday after I had a dream about a haunted house ride. love your channel tbh kind of even more than Dan Bell I think you deserve more views and a higher like ratio I think you’re highly watchable and I love the suitcase thing keep doing what you’re doing 💗

[@TampaJay]

I love the Safari Hat!

[@InfamousCrimeLocations]

Awesome vid! I've seen one other video on this and always wanted to go. Bucket list item for sure

[@wdavem]

They would look best in the dessert, spaced 1/4 of a mile apart in the shape of a giant asterisk.

[@geico1975]

"Too Soon" lmao:) funny, I was looking for wild Bill baby, but didn't see him.

[@davidredfearn664]

The beginning of this video made me do a double take because the church you were in front of looked almost exactly like Morningside Methodist Church here in Thomasville Ga. Many thanks for the presidential tour.

[@fairlyoddmutha]

Thank you for allowing me to join you on your strange and sometimes quite bizarre quests! I love your videos!

[@b-man1232]

"Too soon?" Hahaha....love your vids! I'm obsessed with the celebrity wax museum vids...I gotta go visit one of those this summer!

[@catalot]

Aw, they ought to be fixed! I never heard of these. I'm amazed someone thought of this. But hey, since someone already did so much work... much better than some wax museum representations!

[@stevezwerling9474]

This is really spectacular. It should be in Washington DC and setup as a National Park

[@rachellouise6866]

Oh my gosh! Cracking up at the chickens 😂😂

[@Chase213]

Jacob great vlog did not know about those busts of the Presidents preaty interesting. See you next time.

[@chryssesandchaos]

Wow! Those are works of art, they're beautiful. They should be preserved.

[@DonnaBrooks]

I feel like I'm on Romper Room: "I see Nixon, & Truman, & Andrew Johnson, & Taft, & Kennedy, & Jefferson & Hoover.... This is fun!

[@trevillyan5515]

This is an interesting, but depressing sight to behold These need to be restored to their former glory and placed in the open for the public to see

[@kristencarlbon4561]

Love your videos Jacob ❤️❤️

[@paistetamazildjianvicfirth4275]

Carpetbagger kicks buttox !!

[@qte5530]

Haha did not even recognize you standing by the presidents lol

[@CryptidHunter_official]

NOW THIS IS FREAKING AWESOME MAN!!

[@jamesagwe2981]

It's a coincidence that the Lincoln statue had a hole in the back of his head

[@omagosh5137]

My daughter and I visited Presidents Park in November of 2007. It was fabulous. We took pic of our favorites. So sad it had to close.

[@bundangbear]

You're the master of that hat style, Jacob!

[@TheCarpetbagger]

+Bundang Bear thank you!

[@coleworld4385]

too bad people have zero respect. at all. no wonder this country is in the state it is in. fact is, obviously they couldn't even afford to maintain what they have, therefore it was probably good old GW's fault since he DID get the last bust. ijs. logic.

[@shiwan45]

Thank you yes some human adults are sad. No respect for our country.

[@ObxVaGirl]

Awesome video!!

[@missingdigit29]

What a complete and utter shame!! Someone seriously needs to save them!!

[@chrismoore1932]

As a local, I always wanted to go, but never got to. Thanks for the update on what exactly happened :).

[@jamesdugan3079]

Warren G.Harding. So cool! Thanks Jacob

[@suthius85]

Jacob next time you're in VA, check out historical Williamsburg and Jamestown if you haven't done so yet. Beautiful Busch Gardens is also in the area. And don't forget the plentiful museums you'll find in D.C. and other attractions in that area.

[@sas8139]

I never knew this place Existed but very very cool!!

[@RhettyforHistory]

Seems like they could have just stuck a coming soon sign out there. Great to see where they ended up though.

[@annacronism]

So far, this is my favorite of your videos, Carpetbagger. :-)

[@DRMEEKS]

wow, really enjoyed this movie Jacob, keep up the good work.

[@mslaerik66]

Morning jacobbagger!

[@Wooley689]

These are so awesome and need to be restored and saved.

[@jeffersonjive4871]

"Too soon" 😆

[@Grace4_All]

Enough with the hole in the head puns an jokes...just enjoy how amazing this is..

[@Skijumptoes]

Just saw a in image on Reddit, come searching for more info - thanks for uploading this, fascinating.

[@kittyfriend9888]

so weird seeing them all against the sky like that

[@BASSNGRASS]

I just found your channel and I love it man 👍👍

[@dormantrabbits]

They should animate them with voices and glowing eyes like Legends of the Hidden Temple. Then, make people pass through trials with each president.

[@TheCarpetbagger]

+dormantrabbits ha!

[@quantumleaper8396]

Creepy.. What a great locale for a scary movie

[@buzzevermore9309]

I liked the video before I even watched it because I knew this would be good 👍

[@glendafromaustralia1625]

White an incredible site Jacob. What a disaster if they are left to rot. The artistry is beautiful. Love from OZ

[@luissdstuff6381]

OMG ! I love it! The likenesses are amazing. Kool and weird video.

[@susanj873]

That is awesome, thank you for showing us all these cool places:)

[@chrissyln76]

Wow! I wish I could have seen them in all their glory.

[@kittyluca7789]

Weird, creepy but kind of cool.

[@itskristajenna]

That was cool and I love you in that hat!

[@steveo6622]

Very Cool!!!!

[@DenitaArnold]

The one you were pointing to was Calvan Coolage

[@TommyB1031]

Thank you for the content you put out, your the best I recently discovered your stuff and you are awesome please don’t stop what you’re doing, my grandparents used to take me to unusual museums all over Illinois and Wisconsin and you’re channel really takes me back, thank you.

[@JudyEddy]

Very cool! What a shame! Tfs!

[@anomaly9746]

Damn, another place I wanted to visit some day.... Any idea of how long they plan to keep them there and open to visitors?

[@JonFjeldsayshi]

1:28 Whats the name of the church parking lot you're in?

[@stnwrd]

THAT HAT IS YOU MAN!!!!!

[@audreywood2056]

what a cool find

[@timdaugherty5921]

What city is the field located with the heads?

[@Naztalgic]

wow this was really cool

[@Ben-cj3jv]

Dude I remember this! Hype!

[@evasaravia6894]

Iove ur videos.

[@diabloed3909]

good show bro keep up the great work..

[@kathyflorcruz552]

I had no idea those were even there!

[@pattygadberry2464]

Enjoyed the video. I wonder if the holes in the tops of their heads had something to do with making it possible to transport them with as little damage as possible to the structures. Perhaps a way for the crane to get a good grasp on the inner frame? BTW: Very inconsiderate of those others to be climbing all over these busts. It is people like that who contribute to the damage and deterioration of things like this. :(

[@DonnaBrooks]

People were CLIMBING on them?! I missed that. Where did you see that? It's a shame these are left out in the elements in some quarry surrounded by mud. These should be preserved SOMEWHERE, SOMEHOW!

[@pattygadberry2464]

@@DonnaBrooks At about 4:16 there is a couple in the bottom left corner of the frame. She is climbing up on the shoulder of the bust to pose for a picture.

[@MrJeepin88]

Before the attraction was opened the heads were on my dads property in new Kent county I remember that the heads were on flatbed trailers all setting in the cow pasture

[@cynthiarl7000]

Incredible!

[@MegaFluffyFish]

This is really cool! It's a shame that they couldn't set this up in DC or somewhere as a national park and just add to it when there is a new president. They'd just have to fix up the existing ones and add two! Can't be that difficult. It's not like they are made out of marble.

[@babalon7778]

Lincoln weirds me out too, all those congruencies with Ford...

[@misterTVman]

The President you said had leprosy disease in the beginning was actually of Woodrow Wilson, not FDR. The bearded one you mentioned was Hayes, not Grant. The one you couldn't remember was Warren G. Harding. FYI, I know every President by face, years of studying, lol.

[@vanhouten64]

Using your video and others, I was able to identify all the heads, which I will list here for the edification of others who may be curious. I'll number them starting with the three easy ones by the road: 1)Washington; 2)Jackson; 3)Lincoln. The others are in five rows containing (from front to back) 2 heads, 4, 10, 11, and 12 in the back row. First row: 4) Wilson; 5) Teddy Roosevelt. Second row: 6) Carter; 7) Lyndon Johnson; 8) Bush II; 9) Franklin Roosevelt. Third row: 10) Reagan; 11) Hoover; 12) Kennedy; 13) Truman; 14) Taft; 15) Benjamin Harrison; 16) Arthur; 17) Grant; 18) Andrew Johnson; 19) Buchanan. Fourth row: 20) Harding; 21) Eisenhower; 22) Nixon; 23) Coolidge; 24) McKinley; 25) Cleveland; 26) Garfield; 27) Hayes; 28) Pierce; 29) William Henry Harrison; 30) Taylor. Fifth row (back row): 31) John Adams; 32) Bush I; 33) John Quincy Adams; 34) Van Buren; 35) Fillmore; 36) Madison; 37) Jefferson; 38) Monroe; 39) Clinton; 40) Ford; 41) Polk; 42) Tyler. I was uncertain about a few groups: the bearded presidents of the late 1800s: Garfield, Grant, Hayes, B. Harrison; also the trio Tyler, Polk, and William Henry Harrison, but I feel pretty good about the identifications. Clinton and Ford are partially hidden by some vegetation that has grown up in most of the videos I watched. The heads of these great presidents, mediocre presidents, and lousy presidents decaying together in a weedy backlot seem an appropriate monument, a New World Ozymandias, to a once-great nation dying under the rule of by far the worst president of them all, a belligerent, uncultured moron, a traitor who has sold our national sovereignty to Vladimir Putin and the Russian mafia.

[@christinahernandez3973]

my goodness someone should do something to keep them safe wow

[@Hihihihihihi147]

Don't know why but this makes me a bit sad 😔 poor abandoned presidents

[@sandraboyd913]

wow.great video

[@OLCtv]

aaaaye welcome to va the 757. I never heard of this place I don't think.

[@jessesmyser5931]

Great video!

[@bethbailey7720]

When are you going to visit South Dakota ? There is a place similar to this park here as well that closed and all of the Presidents heads/busts are still there...

[@TheCarpetbagger]

+Beth Bailey beginning of October

[@bethbailey7720]

Really ? Sweet...where in South Dakota are you going to be ?

[@TheCarpetbagger]

+Beth Bailey from Sioux City IA to Mount Rushmore

[@bethbailey7720]

Any chance of meeting up w/you ? I live in the Black Hills...I told a couple of friends about you coming to South Dakota and they are literally bouncing of the walls. 😃

[@twilaperry7835]

I just love what you do!!!!

They should make Head Henge and just arrange them like Stone Henge.

[@kimdouglas8598]

That was sooo cool!

[@alisongriffin337]

These are amazing but so sad that they are slowing falling apart.

Awesome!! Thanks

I remember wanting to go there when i saw it on the way to Busch Gardens

[@qte5530]

I'd even think to donate to have them repaired and saved!

It's good to keep ahead (or two, of three...). At least these are outstanding in their field.
