    This Vlog was terrific. The Museum was impressive and the guide was great. We really appreciate that you took the time to film the graves - it made us feel we were walking the grounds alongside you. The Jim Henson and Kermit statue was joyful. Then, as if all that wasn't great enough - you even found the Zappa bust! Many thanks for this Jordan - your simply the best.

    I am a graduate of the University of Maryland and not only is there a statue to Jim Henson and Kermit but Kermit was given an honorary MBA degree a few years ago from the school. Thank you Jordan for sharing the trip and I am really enjoying your channel. 😊☀️❤️

    George Washington was a direct close relative of Princess Diana 👸 Spencer. The Spencer family proudly maintain the earlier family home on Althorp. George Washington looked almost identical to his Spencer cousins in his day. This program is so wonderful. Thank you.

    This is a great place for kids and families. Moved to the Northern Neck from Caroline when I got married. Love the history here! Folks should try to catch the Garden Tour in April when the old houses & churches here are open (skip the millionaire domiciles that have been showing up on it.) Try to make it to Christ Church in Lancaster Co, think that’s open all the time, probably designed by Christopher Wren. Used to be a nice place for quiet contemplation, but “come heres” took it over-the little museum they started is nice-try to ditch the guides when you go through the church. Say hey to “King” Carter for me! Love watching your travels.

    In the late 1800's factories were full of women who worked. Also in offices. And on farms. They just weren't allowed into the professions (law, medicine, etc) although various individual women did anyway. As you mentioned, it was the wives of wealthy men who were not allowed to work since one sign of wealth and success was that the wife and daughters did not have to work.

    As a child living in Maryland, the school field trips involved mount Vernon and George Washington's birth place. I could remember visiting the tobacco farm and all the small houses were opened and had actors replicating the work that was done. Thank you for visiting such an important part of our history.

    George became a tree lover after the cherry tree incident which happened at Ferry Farm, his boyhood home in my neck of the woods. There's also the beautiful and haunted Kenmore house, the home of George's sister Betty (who looked a lot like him bless her heart) and her husband Fielding Lewis. For eleven years, I took tour group photos on the grounds there. Also there's the lovely setting of the University of Mary Washington. Give me a heads up when you're coming to the burg. Maybe you'd like to catch a Fred Nats game at our new baseball stadium! They do fireworks after the games on Fridays.

    Really interesting, even for a non American like me! I am disappointed you didn't vlog anything with Dan Bell though. I was really struck by George Washington preferring to be called General because he earned that title! He has a point! Anyone can be President if they have enough money and the sort of personality to appeal to voters, but it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to become a general!

    It's great to see these places preserved but NOT at the expense of people living today, which unfortunately tends to happen. People like Washington were VERY big on new ideas about farming and growth. They would HATE that they are being used to keep that from happening like has happened across the Potomac from Mt Vernon. My family alone lost over 100 acres because the Feds came in to maintain the view from Mt Vernon, with Binoculars. I wonder how many farmers have been hurt in that area from these places.
