Florida Pioneer Museum & Village Roadside Attraction - Full Walkthrough

[@TampaJay]

Thanks for watching!

[@josephpeckham6379]

No problem Tampa jay

[@karenpatterson1691]

Watch all your vids, love them! One thing, the word "museum". It's a 3 syllable word. Mew zee um. Not mu zem. Please, Jay, so cringey.

[@TampaJay]

@ it’s my accent deal with it. the only thing cringy is here is your disrespect.

[@TampaJay]

@@josephpeckham6379 you’re awesome

[@peter-n9w5j]

Hi Jay! Captain D's, Long John Silver's, Red Lobster ... I love seafood, period!🐟🦐🥣

[@exinilda]

What a gem! That’s great to see these places are still around. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@sharonstover7337]

As always, awesome video! I do so enjoy these travel videos and look so forward to each one! Thank you for taking us along!! ❤

[@TampaJay]

thank you

[@rachelekaelin6199]

Love this, so interesting. Will have to check it out next time I visit family.

[@gloriaperez5368]

Wow Tampa Jay great video. Hope you do more like this love history. I love your videos you do. Keep up the good work.

[@Elephant2024]

Enjoy seeing your videos any day of the week, but especially on the weekends. Always look forward to them. Thanks for taking us along on the ride.

[@davidabrown92]

Hope all is well with you enjoying the video have great weekend ❤

[@LindaSolis-b9s]

I love history and visiting old buildings and museums. Thanks for the video!

[@richardreadinger1724]

Thank you Tampa Jay for showing us more and more of stuff I never knew that was apart of Florida!!😊 Have you and CTG ever did any videoes of Silver Springs yet!?

[@trish5556]

This was a great tour you gave of the Pioneer Museum! When you were showing the irons I saw one like I first used in the 1960's. My parents were antique collectors and we had one of those old time irons you had to heat up on a stove. We used it as a doorstop. I enjoyed seeing the room with all the looms where the quilts were. I had a friend growing up who had a big loom in her home and her Mom made rugs and things. And, as for my fav fish restaurant it really is Red Lobster, but I would prefer Captain D's to Long John Silvers. My favorite that no longer exists is Arthur Treacher's. It was more authentic to what you might find in England. I love your backroad tours. Keep 'em coming!

[@kimberlylyerly1619]

Oh wow Jay! What a fascinating place to visit. I'll bet the special festivals are amazing. Thank you so much for going into detail about each building. Hugs.🤗 and God bless ❤🙏❤

[@kellyparrish-w2r]

Thanks TJ, awesome as usual.

[@emmaalbano1680]

Hello Tampa J, Im so touched by your video that you posted dedicated to your beloved Grandpa. You are not alone in your sorrow . Ive lost my Grandma Dec. 23 , Mom Dec 19 and Dad Jan 8. The holidays have since not been my most joyful season . As an only child, the most beautiful thing that i can cherish is my memories and know that i feel them around me at different times in my life . That brings me comfort . I want you to let yourself grieve the way you are and let love lead your life . Thank you for sharing something so delicate and personal with us . Much love in 2025❤

[@pauline9242]

Love the Florida Pioneer Museum and walk-through. I love these roadside attractions. It’s a piece of history and your walk-through Allow us to see places that we might not ordinarily get to see ourselves. The Dunce cap and what you were saying ,in the classroom, was hysterical. However, what a horrible first day of school for your Grandpa. What a sign of the times back then. As a retired ESL school teacher, I felt very bad about your grandpa’s new school experience. Thank you for sharing your families personal story! This video had so much interesting history. Another informative and great video. Loved it 👍

[@johnbrennan7500]

Never seen a Captain D’s so I would have to say Long John Silvers my all-time favorite was Arthur Treachers fish, and chips!

[@MichelleMartin-ld6zg]

I've really enjoyed watching your video I've never seen so many irons the house was amazing the fire 🔥 trouck and everything else was awesome that was one of your best v😢 enjoy the rest of your weekend with Chris and Bella love you all 😊😅😂❤❤❤❤

[@nancys7405]

I absolutely love your channel. Thank you for all you do. Love learning about all about Florida, I'm a native, but always learning new things about the area.

[@bob4364]

Hey Tampa Jay great on the road video, history tour and more from Bay City FL..Enjoy your weekend..

[@juliogonzales5441]

LOVE THE ROAD SIDES THANKS MR JAY 👍

[@tiltedtrucker]

Love the Maiden reference!!! Rock on

[@roadstraveledphotography8440]

We do have a Capt. and’s in Sanford 17-92, another in Clermont Hwy 50 and a third one on east Hwy 50 in Union Park. Funny story, this one open when I was in high school in the early 80s. It closed about 13 years ago and open less than two years ago in the same location. ONLY fast food I’ll eat it. I’m an avid fisherman and mostly my own catch but you can’t beat Captain D’s is Yum Yum good .

[@denisejones3221]

I love caption D's and Long John silver's. Jacksonville FL has 3 or 4 captain D's still.🎉

[@conniekimber9445]

I !oved seeing this village. Thank you for sharing!

[@TampaJay]

thank you so much for watching Connie. Appreciate you. Hope you have a great weekend.

[@rogertemple7193]

Great to see you back and visiting the Florida Pioneer Museum i like going to historical museums and seeing the scenic views in the area such as this I hope You, Cris and Bella have a wonderful upcoming week thanks Jay. 👋🥤🍟🍔

[@mikedoran4763]

More good stuff Jay. Really enjoyed it.

[@TampaJay]

thank you so much for watching Mike. Appreciate you. Hope you’re having a great weekend.

[@tincanboat]

Very interesting. Great video from Pensacola, Fl.

[@Mark-ur4ds]

Great stuff! Great Series every little place has its own story ➡️

[@PaulaScott-c7j]

Also, thanks for doing the driving, I would love to go to these places. Teleportation would be cool. Seems you avoid typical florida tourist attractions, but have you been to the hot spring. Like to go, if not too crowded, LOL to the dunce hat demo.

[@Urlocals1lly]

Cool!!

[@PeterLeonard-md2on]

Wonderful Tour...!!!

[@kathywilliams9615]

Loved this!!! Thank you 😀

[@MikeRuh01]

When I was up north foe those years I went to Captain D's. It wasn't bad. When I got back home to Florida I stopped into a Ling John Silvers. I was kind of let down because they didn't have all those extra scrunchies that came along with my meal. Thanks foe the show TJ

[@TampaJay]

I know those scrunchies. Got to have the scrunchies. Thank you, Mike.

[@MikeRuh01]

@@TampaJay lol, I meant Crunchies. Thanks bro, there is a lot of interesting stuff at this place.

[@michaelmayhem138]

Let's go. Much ahead

[@Yahoo12]

CC Smith general store built in 1920 served Lacoochee residents for 50 years. CC Smith’s niece donated the store to the museum in May of 2000. History preserved thanks to his niece.

[@TampaJay]

thank you!

[@mikelanzalotti7120]

At one point we lived in a house here in Nj that was over 100 years old, those stairs really brought back memories

[@shelbienelson6632]

Love the video. The Kumquat festival is January 25. 9:00 to 5:00

[@margaretbiddle2084]

Capt. D all the way!

[@christadawnwheeler2696]

Much love from Jackson county Indiana! Yes I say cement the way your granddad did. I was never "corrected" about it until I moved to Los Angeles. I've never been asked where I'm from so much in my life. 😂

[@cnkirby1]

I like Long John Silvers over Captain D's. Arthur Treacher's Original Fish and Chips was my all-time favorite growing up in Ohio in the 1970's. Hard to find these days.

[@notorioustankster]

Very neat! The Susquehanna is pronounced, Sus-Kwuh-hannuh. Probably based on the large river that runs thru parts of NY and PA, among other states Thanks again for your video!

[@amandanoelle8287]

23:53 hilarious, you had me laughing 🤣

[@mikelanzalotti7120]

Hey Tampa Jay, hope all is well! I went to an actual 2 room school here in Williamstown NJ for kindergarten, Hall Street School, there may be pictures online

[@Lifehappeningswithheather]

Nice I go to that pioneer museum alot

[@donaldbigelow4833]

There's a Captain D's in Spring Hill, at Spring Hill drive and Mariner

[@leearmstrong2743]

Mornin Jay!!

[@PaulaScott-c7j]

Also, thanks for doing the driving, I would love to go to these places. Teleportation would be cool. Seems you avoid typical florida tourist attractions, but have you been to the hot spring. Like to go, if not too crowded

[@jparker59able]

Thanks Jay. The museum is fascinating. I wish I could visit. That's a sad story about your grandpa as a little boy just because the teacher didn't like his pronunciation. She sounds a little sadistic.

[@joe020308]

Jay, will you attend the Rays first spring training game this year? And as per your tradition, will you be purchasing a new rays hat?

[@ericethridge3036]

Caption Ds all day long. They have the best green beans

[@suzannesmith685]

Enjoy hearing the stories about your grandpa.

[@jasonmerlino3815]

Rt 301 back in the day was the only road to head south before i95 was built

[@adamcromwell2898]

I like both Captain D's and Long John Silvers.

[@Chaedron1]

I don't know how Captain D's stays in business, I've never seen people in the parking lot. I guess it is different for different parts of the country but the one's around me are always empty. I assume the get a lot of business on Fridays during Lent and that is what keeps them open through the rest of the year.

[@georgewesterling]

I live in the Villages, but there is 1 captain d in Leesburg Florida, Lake county

[@Wambleyburger]

Jay, you were asking about the C.C. Smith General Store. That store used to be in downtown Lacoochee. Also, the citrus packing house and its contents was the Blanton Packing house in Blanton, Florida, not far from Dade City.

[@TampaJay]

thank you so much for that information. I was hoping someone would chime in.

[@WendyMurray-l1d]

Hi jay

[@RussellWarrick-m2k]

Years ago I worked at an outdoor museum in Tallahassee Florida. There was an old general store building that was definitely creepy, some of the employees said it was haunted.

[@christytaylor6646]

The breezeway was called a dog trot

[@TampaJay]

thank yuh

[@PaulaScott-c7j]

Surprised you did not go to nearby blue lagoon. I went to a safari in dad city. A joke but my boyfriend got to pet a baby tiger, big thrill for him. PETA is trying to shut them down.

[@cmd406]

There are a couple Capt Ds in Jax. Haven’t been there in a while.

[@aprlady5774]

The picture was of Teddy Roosevelt not FDR

[@Prana_Imagery]

captain Ds in brooksville now on 41

[@TampaJay]

got to check that one out

[@Prana_Imagery]

@@TampaJay definitely! Appreciate you showing the real Florida man 🌴🐊 a lot of your vids are my back yard pretty much, it’s cool seeing someone else so interested in central Floridas history and nature. 💯

[@raymiley9058]

There's a Captain D's on 301 Starke, Florida. Better than Long John Silver but they need to update alot of them.

[@marlinknable3543]

We have a Captain D's in Ocala FL

[@michaelcupp3125]

Captain D'S my mother favorite, l like Captain DS or long John silver

[@substance1]

The outhouse that was $17, today's dollars it would be: $385.85

[@aprlady5774]

What was the name of your family from Albany KY? My late husband’s family was from there

[@mariaMayAugOct]

I went to a taxidermy museum in Texas and I had to leave it was to scary even though the animals are not alive

[@brunoprimas1483]

I'm an Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips guy.

[@RussellWarrick-m2k]

Freaking out over the reflection in the window sounds like something I would do

[@jasonbird2628]

I know it sounds stupid, but the actual name is Pioneer Florida Museum. The reason for that is because they do not want to give the impression that the state of Florida has any connection with museum as far as funding or operation.

[@TampaJay]

putting florida first in my title just makes it more searchable on the internet and gives them more exposure. I totally get why they can’t do it. makes sense. doesn’t sound stupid to me.

[@noahfellers1246]

How net😊

[@robertt.50]

Charcoal irons? Iron your clothes than cook your steak afterwards.

[@TampaJay]

haha sounds like a plan to me

[@TurnipGreen]

Meu-zim?

[@lauriestull1077]

👍👍👍 Thank you.I look forward to all your videos. We only have 11 months until you know what 🤡👻 I'm counting down the days Sir henry do you think he might have a valentine Haunted house.

That’s it. Thanks for watching.

Dog Trot

[@WesDerry-d8d]

Learn how to pronounce museum.

[@dansmith8912]

Even though you're a Yankee, you rock Tampa Jay. And I'm very sorry for the loss of your grandpa. But it sounds like you have a lot of him in you not just spiritually and physically but also his knowledge and his love for adventures and exploring/working the land. You hold your head high young man wearing your grandpa's hat because I guarantee he's very proud of you.
