Smithsonian Museum of American History - Full Tour

[@alinaKANIN]

My granddad was part of some of the lunch counter sit ins in Durham. He was actually the NAACP youth secretary for Durham or maybe the whole triangle region

[@TheCarpetbagger]

That’s amazing

[@alinaKANIN]

@@TheCarpetbagger The Carolina theater in Durham has a mural of him as well! Would love to see you tour Durham

[@alinaKANIN]

@@TheCarpetbagger There’s an interview with him on KZbin by the SF Chronicle I think, (or just on their website) his name’s Walter Riley and he’s a Civil Rights lawyer now

[@grfeld84]

18:13 The reason Fozzie is there in the car section is he's hoping to see his Studebaker from the Muppet Movie! "A bear in his natural habitat, a Studebaker!"

[@kevinhodge1221]

I don’t care what anyone says This man has a special talent and charisma as a tour guide on KZbin. I love his videos

[@mollysmith1226]

He is fun 😊

[@spend4zen1]

I have never been to the Smithsonian so I can't judge what You missed or left out but I think You did a great job of presenting this section and I really liked how You gave details on each part of the video. I am handicapped and not able to go to places like this and rarely get a chance to even go to the store. When I was younger I lived in Hawaii and went some cool places, now I depend on people like you to help me escape the everyday boredom. I will be following your channel.

[@TimmyTellsU]

Did some investigating. The items you said were missing are indeed gone. That exhibit closed and was replaced by others things. Sadly it’s gone but happily you saw new items that replaced them.

[@deniseconaway701]

Haven’t been to a museum in for ever, so really enjoy these vlogs Jacob, Thankyou x

[@Corgis175]

Love the way you present items and presentations and enjoyed this museum too including the transportation section.

[@vastudent99]

I visited just a few days after you did and had the same thought, missed the pop culture stuff!

[@filipohman7277]

Awesome Work Bro, Thanks 👍👍😀 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸

[@EpiCTriPpiNDeAdaHeAd]

The crash test dummies made great toys. I think there was even a cartoon too!

[@robschafer5997]

there was

[@CaolanBrannigan]

And a nes game

[@samuelludke1420]

Good to see you doing what you love!!!

[@shawnl.5023]

Surprised you didn't show the star spangled banner when you first walk in behind the George Washington statue you showed, it's breath-taking!

[@kyliebruce9643]

You’re not allowed to film it.

[@shawnl.5023]

@@kyliebruce9643 hmm years ago I was able to, they just told me no flash photography

[@aliciabrinkofski386]

Since they moved it to its new exhibit hall you are no longer allowed to film or photograph the Star-Spangled Banner it is to protect the flag.

[@Uprightfossil]

I’m a new subscriber. I’m going to watch every video that you’ve done ! Thank you for slow camera panning, and close ups of what you want us to see.

[@unicorngirl06]

not sure if the exhibit with Fozzy said it but I immediately thought of his Studebaker and the driving song from the Muppet Movie!

[@kylerbesaw6233]

Jacob your the best, I wish there was more channels as great as you on KZbin

[@OffRampAdventures]

We've never had a chance to check out the Smithsonian, you gave us a really nice tour!

[@terrell9457]

The Smithsonian was beyond Impressive. I could've spent a month there and still not see everything they had....There were 14 buildings back in 1986,and I'm sure there's even more than that now.

[@K1TT3NM1TT3N5]

Loving the frequency of uploads, keep up the great work

[@muhammadfadhilazzuhdi995]

Fun fact about the crash test dummies in that commercials, one of the dummies was voiced by the legendary voice actors lorenzo music, the voice actor of garfield.

[@The_Yeetus_Knight]

I love the Smithsonian museums they have interesting collections

[@ShelleeGraham]

What a wonderful Museum of American History in Washington DC! You brought us the best of the exhibitions on that particular day! Thank you Jacob! Cheers from Old Highway 66!

[@JohnKelly2]

Fozzie drove an old Hudson in the first Muppet Movie, so being in the transportation section is fitting

[@spookymummabaker9678]

Saw my town (Laconia) on a sign in there and then at the end you went right for the NH ornament ❤️ made my heart happy!

[@mollysmith1226]

That's so cool ☺️

[@bravostein1]

This museum is my favorite of the Smithsonian museums. I grew up in Park Forest, IL and was so surprised to see that exhibit when I was there.

[@pamelahsmithsmith2366]

The traffic jam looks like Charleston..all the container trucks heading to the the Port of Charleston!! LOL..Museum of American History is on my bucket list. must be a huge building to house all of these artifacts and vehicles!

[@TheCosmicGenius]

Thanks for this, Jacob. I've been into the American History museum, but didn't get far because I wasn't feeling so well & got sick. One of these days it'd be nice to revisit it, when I'm felling better. Meantime, I'll mention that I have been all the way through the Smithsonian Air & Space museum, & always look forward to going back. Hopefully you'll record a video visit there, as well.

[@gracefoley8822]

I just saw on the Smithsonian website, that they’re coming out with a new exhibition in December of this year, called “Entertainment Nation” where the muppets, the Bunker’s chairs, and many more pop culture things will come out of storage to be in this new exhibition. It’ll be all about TV, movies, music, etc. I’m sad because I’m going to DC in October with my school and this is opening in December and I would’ve really loved this. Jacob, please go back to DC and go through that exhibition!!

[@mbryant4525]

More museum tours please!!!! ♥️

[@mushieslushie]

I had a crash test dummies toy set as a kid. It was a car that crumbled when you smashed it. The dummy figures you put in the car limbs and head would pop off in the accident.

[@dazekrazekookykill8212]

These were the museum i traveled to as a kid. They sparked my love for America an History it’s just so amazing to go back look back and revisit old and new additions the Smithsonian’s are truly something wonderful. I highly recommend the National Museum of African American History and Culture it is a site to see indeed.

[@pumpkinghost5698]

You should definitely do the Route 66 and Dixie highway series again, I loved it :) The Gatlinburg series was also good!

[@MrBuddybones]

My favorite Smithsonian museum. 👍🏻

[@sabakamahusky594]

Fun fact: Julia Child willingly donated her whole kitchen to the Smithsonian after she knew she was sick.

[@miketwomey4923]

I was there 10 yrs ago and that kitchen left an incredible feeling along with Archie Bunker's chair and the Ruby Red Slippers...

[@tylerdavis127]

One of Julia's KitchenAid mixers is in my hometown of Greenville, Ohio where they are made!

[@janetproper8324]

Kermit The Frog, Fonzie’s Jacket and Archie Bunker’s Chair. All great American relics that were missing. Glad you went to my favorite museum. So happy to see Julia Child’s kitchen. Thank you!

[@mollysmith1226]

This museum is on our list to visit on our honeymoon in July

[@johndean4727]

they have to rotate because flash photography ruins the item.

[@MrRmstitanicof1912]

I don't know if you ever seen the documentary or not but watch February One: The Story Of The Greensboro Four. It's about the 4 black guys who was in the diner that day. All but 1 is dead. The other 3 guys were interviewed for the documentary. It is worth watching. I enjoyed it

[@JonJaengTokki]

I always know it’s gonna be a good day when you post a video. It’s an even better day when it’s a museum tour!!

[@susannegibson6008]

Agreed!

[@myyoshistar]

Love watching your video’s, have been watching your channel for awhile, it always nice watching your videos in the morning because it keeps me optimistic the rest of my day! 😄

[@V.KirishimaCrimsonChaos]

If I'm not mistaken Davey Crockett's hatchet was a peace pipe.(tobacco/marijuana pipe)

[@monicdavis6150]

Thanks for this video! I love all the Smithsonian institute museums.

[@errittsmith4536]

I was there in October it was amazing I’m a history fanatic I went to four of the museum American History,Air and space museum,American 🖼 museum, and American National Art museum all four were great I wish I could go back

[@soundman423]

Wished you would have shown the two steam locomotives, a little more in depth on them like where they came from and the history in them as well as the trolley car other than that loved the video thanks

[@Crossfirepyro2]

Some of my favorite museums in DC only an hour away from where I live

[@mollysmith1226]

Going to DC for my honeymoon in July. We have tickets to tour the White House, FBI building and the capital. What else should we tour? Best restaurants?

[@Crossfirepyro2]

@@mollysmith1226 some of the best food in DC is on the mall, all the mobile food trucks The museum of air and space in the museum of natural history two of my favorite museums

[@mollysmith1226]

@@Crossfirepyro2 thank you 😊

[@alliekuma4234]

The world could always use more Muppets and so could that museum. Lol Good job using Kawaii correctly again.

[@Julie-ms9ss]

Excellent video. You make everything so interesting !

[@Eighties-Jadie]

Can't wait to watch this now! ☀️ Thanks Jacob and hope you're keeping well too. Hugs and best wishes 💖

[@MissNessaBless]

For the pop culture exihbit, I believe most of the artifact are being in storage for the time being whether it's for preservation or new artifact/exhibit are coming it's way. Not sure if they will have a comeback, but keep in mind that all Smithsonian museum do get new artifact and sometimes things will changes to educate the public with new things.

[@tomklock568]

What a great museum, I think we only did a quick walk through of this one and I'd love to go back. I remember the missing things as well; wonder what's up?

[@MiloTheMightyDude]

If you're still in the DC area, there's a great restaurant in Adam's Morgan named Sakuramen that comes highly recommended.

[@CosplayCore]

Not gonna lie… I waited the entire time for those Ruby Slippers here. Rofl 🤣😂 They’re one of the biggest reasons I want to go to the Smithsonian so badly. I love The Wizard of Oz! I once had the luck to see one of Judy Garland’s Dorothy dresses in person at Disney World and… well… I just… I cried. I was so excited and the emotions just overwhelmed me. Lol 😂

[@mollysmith1226]

😊

[@alexEMP1]

I love your videos brother!

[@raresr4092]

Love the tours and really should take in route 66 again.

[@danruscoe]

If this KZbin thing doesn't work out, you have all the makings of a great car salesman!

[@american_comics_engineering]

I think that the fozzie/car connection is him singing movin' down the road in the Muppet Movie. But for what ever reason I heard him say "ITZA STAY SHUN WAAAGON! (ear wiggle)" in my head for some reason when he came on screen

[@CosplayCore]

Aaahhhh I’ve always wanted to go to the Smithsonian… it seems like such a cool museum!

[@beanman1272]

I’ve always wanted to go but never could

[@oliviaa_howell]

YES! MORE ROUTE 66!!! i plan on doing that drive when i graduate nursing school at the end of summer !!! im still looking for good places to stop at along the way!

[@TheCarpetbagger]

Tons of great stuff along the way

[@DougCraftOfficial]

26:47 makes me think of the old song, Daisey Bell. Daisey, Daisey, give your answer do, I'm half crazy for the love of you

[@YellowLegoSpaceman]

Since the Air And Space Museum is closed you should visit the sister site in the Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly

[@__yklim]

Was looking forward to this

[@tacob69]

The last car you show in the traffic jam brings back so many memories.It's a 1979 honda Civic.I bought that car in 1988 on my 16th birthday.I loved that car it was basically a supped up go cart.Hahaha

[@charlottemackinnon9587]

Love it all Jacob

[@JonhsonMclang13]

I was their today 3/19/22

[@stevendudley5687]

Have you visited the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland or the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville?

[@mikehughes4969]

That train car you went through was either from Chicago, or supposed to be, as I could hear Chicago stops being called out. I rode that exact line for a few years when I lived in Evanston and worked downtown in a car very similar to that one. Made me nostalgic. Disappointing about Archie Bunker's chair, but there's always next time.

[@paulfuryes203]

I really enjoy your videos keep them coming.

[@mikecynic5167]

"What makes a good container port"...sounds exciting.

[@ZKETCH42591]

Oh god i miss using the old metal caulk guns for the sauces, the ones they use now suck and made of plastic and break easy. On another note this is a great video and look at a brief history of the usa. :D

[@maxwellhouse750]

When my younger brother visits, we occasionally go to DC museums. I remember going once after we stayed up late the night before. We both fell asleep on that fake subway car. We also paid to fall asleep in a planetarium show in the Air and Space museum. Good times 😂

[@mollysmith1226]

That's hilarious 🤣

[@annaratliff4638]

While in Washington you should visit Union Maj. Gen. Daniel E. Sickles leg. I read he liked to regularly visit his leg until he passed.

[@jletterpbpp8259]

If your going to do the entire area, You have to do the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum

[@JohnKelly2]

It's closed for a major overall

[@ohmigoshness1]

When I came here from az I was surprised they had mentioned Native Americans. I am fully and when I saw that sign I posed in front of it lol for all my fam that could never see it

[@iamprivate18]

The American democracy section was very balanced and informative.

[@nurseydebdeb8539]

Another great video!! Always wanted to go up there and tour those museums, I know you had mentioned the space museum was closed but does that one have one of the shuttles? In Sacramento in Old Town they have a great trains museum, we toured it in October. Keep up the great work

The American History Museum was my favorite Smithsonian museum me and my family visited, my brother was disappointed cus the Ruby Slippers were off display for cleaning and that was the one exhibit he wanted to see

[@ignskeletons]

Carpetbagger was talking about Jimmy Carter and mentioned where he still lives. I had to Google it, aparently as of right now in Feb 2022 Jimmy Carter is STILL ALIVE. WHAT?? I guess he's 97 years old and still kicking. I learned something today. He just seemed like an old historical figure, weird that he's still walking around doing things right now.

[@silverghostcat1924]

He actually helps with building for Habitat for Humanity.
