Very much enjoyed the John Muir tour, thank you! It brings back a rather embarrassing memory. Fifty years ago my husband and I lived in Pleasant Hill, close by Martinez. We were in our early 20’s and took our 14 month old daughter with us, on the Muir Home tour. We made our way upstairs, with our group and guide. To our horror, our little darling, hurled her bottle, filled with grape juice, into the roped off room. The bottle top came off, splattering dark purple grape juice everywhere on the antique rug, floor, everywhere! I screamed, jumped in, grabbed the bottle, ‘I’ll clean it up!’ My husband apologized, held our daughter while I ran down the stairs to our car and grabbed clean diaper clothes..(before wet wipes). My husband said it was an eternity, as everyone heard me run down the stairs and back up! No one said a word, just waited in silence. I managed to clean it up pretty good, having carried some water with me..everyone just waited and watched, my husband jostling the baby. Finally, the guide kindly said, …’It’s okay, we’ll make sure it dries properly.’ And the tour resumed. We’ve reminded our daughter many times of her launching the grape juice bomb into John Muir’s room! And how foolish a very young mother was to have trusted her baby with such a liquid disaster in an Historic House! ❤
John Muir was also famous here in Wisconsin where he lived after moving from Scotland. It was in Wisconsin that Muir started to love nature. John Muir studied at University of Wisconsin - Madison. His family owned a farm near Portage, Wisconsin known as Fountain Lake Farm and is a National Historic Landmark, He lived in Wisconsin from1849 to1856 and from 1860 to 1862 before moving out to California.
Its closer to Montello and in Marquette county. Portage is farther south on Hwy 22 and in Columbia county. I fish all the time on Ennis lake where john Muir swam when a boy.
On one hand, Mr Muir would be heartsick to see the paved population right up into his front and back yards. On the other hand, I’m really glad it’s being preserved and open to the public.
The John Muir house was one of my favorite places to visit while I lived in the Bay Area. Your video did it justice. I had never visited the grave site but it looks very peaceful and cared for.
I live just a few minutes away from this and have driven past hundreds of times. I haven't visited the house for a while but I'm very grateful it's still standing and appreciated!
I took my son there last summer and we had lots of fun exploring the house. I only live about 30 mins away. We made a spontaneously visit to avoid traffic getting back home. It's also great that it's free, or at least it was when we visited. My son asked the docent lots of questions and we had almost a private tour. Did you make it up to the tower and attic where the bell is? My son had a blast ringing it and looking at all the old furniture stored up there. I didn't know about his grave a few miles away. There's so much history in the east bay.
all the years I've lived in Northern California and didn't know until you posted this vid that John Muir lived here, learn something new every day! Thanks
My grandfather who lived in Oakhurst California took me to Yosemite when I was about 11 years old. That first look of the valley just as you come out of the tunnel was breath-taking and will stay with me forever. While at one of the sites I found out that John Muir came from Dunbar Scottland. My family also came from Dunbar by way of Texas then Kentucky ending up in Southern Maryland. My Grandmother was from a long line of the early settlers of St. Mary's Maryland, the Carrolls. I think the stories of my heritage are what started my interest in history. And in turn what brought me to your channel. I recommend that everyone take the time to look into your family line. You never know, you might be the descendent of someone very important in history.
this was a great episode....for me. My great grandmother, Helen Hay Muir always told us that she was a 2nd cousin to John Muir. Of course growing up that meant nothing to me. I just checked my ancestry files and learned that they quite possibly were related! Although they were about 60 miles from each other and about 40 years apart! I'm just blown away that at my age (mid 70's) I'm just learning about all this!!!
I was very excited when I saw you were doing a video on the home and grave site of John Muir, and you didn't disappoint! I have always admired John Muir and his efforts to conserve the natural beauty of this awesome country, sad that he could not save the Hetch Hetchy Valley! Thank you for this look into John Muir, the man, well done!!
Jeff win a great episode. Really enjoyed this. I love John Muir, but I didn’t realize his house and gravesite was in Martinez. I will definitely have to get there and check it out. Thank you so much the house was extraordinary. Thank you for all the great history. 🤟🏻💜😎🐬🇺🇸
Jeff, I did the same thing when my grown son hung over the edge of 200ft Mooney Falls in Havasupai to take a photograph. I know the feeling! It still gives me chills to think about it! Great video!
I've heard about John Muir quite a bit living in Yosemite National Park for a summer and in my home town of Modesto, CA: - Modesto Junior College, John Muir Hall - John Muir Park on High st. - John Muir Elementary school He had quite the impact on our lives and history. 😊👍
I work on the Railroad that runs by that location. I’ve worked on this territory for 25 years and I always wondered what it would be like to visit that house. I think I may take the time to visit his house now. Great video.
John Muir was a treasure. I toured that house many years ago. Thanks for refreshing my memories. I’m sure he’d be heartbroken to see what has become of not only his farm but California in general.
Fantastic episode on a guy I had never heard of. What a wonderful story and fantastic house. The gravesite of the great man is amazing. Loved that you showed his friend standing over the grave from years before, as I like those then and now pics as much as you do. Thank you
Thanks, Jeff, Hello Sarah. Definitely one of my favorite people in our history. I'm sending this to my grandson, hopefully his mother will let him see it. Good knowledge for any outdoors loving person to know. Central California watching
Hi Jeff and Sarah thank you for sharing a great video of John Muir house and grave. Looking forward to seeing next Sunday video. It was nice to see Sarah in the video. The house was beautiful and well as the grounds love and blessings Larry June and Laurie
As always it was great to hear from you guys and get your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed this tour of the John Muir Mansion and gravesite! Love and blessings returned to you!
Thank you Jeff and Sarah for another great video, we really enjoy them all, you are our new Huell Howser, we always enjoy visiting the places you and Sarah have been
Thanks for touring John Muir's house and sharing it with us. That is a place I often wanted to visit but the situation was never quite right. I appreciate seeing what is inside, and his resting place.
Wonderful tour! I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the house and personal family items, seeing the cemetery, and hearing more details about his life. Being a native So.Californian and a lover of the Sierra Nevada Mtns. and nature, I have long admired John Muir, an extraordinary man (and I believe he was a "seer"). Thanks for another great 'daytrip with History Hunters,' Jeff!
Jeff I'm so glad you are doing this one of my Dr offices is at the Hospital in Martinez and have wanted to stop and see this but the gate is always closed thanks soooo much
another great vid Jeff, i will never be able to see lots of these places that you film so i love the videos! i love history alot, almost as much as you. so thank you!
Hi Jess and Sarah, This is a very enjoyable piece of history to watch today! I had been there over 18 years ago and have noticed some changes since my visit. Keep up the great work as too I am a lover of Yosemite and the backcountry that I have backpacked many times. I was in Niles Canyon a few weeks ago as Charlie Chaplin impersonator walking the same path as he did in "The Tramp". Of course had to stop in Yosemite and soak it all in. My little slice of Heaven, on this earth. Great work and historic / contemporary commentary. THANK YOU!
Thank you, Jeff and Sarah, for a great tour of John Muir's home. Just a little side note. John Bourough's was also a very close friend of Henry Ford and Thomas Edison and Harvey Firestone. All 3 of them used to go on camping trips in upstate, New York and around Vermont.
Very good Jeff. I went to Forestry and Conservation School in 1964 to 1966. Never made any money then but that kind of work wasn't too popular like it is today! Great episode as usual Jeff & Sarah.
Another good video! Great viewing of quality history lessons, such a refreshing option for TV viewing in a time when quality of options lack these days. Thank you for taking the time to do your homework Jeff and make these shows.
Once again you have shown me something I need to go see that is relatively close! Have you ever been to Luther Burbanks home in Santa Rosa? Thanks Jeff!!
Hi Jeff and Sarah thanks for making great videos! Was wondering if you guys were thinking of doing more history in the Bay area like San Francisco Chinatown I remember espresso you guys made with the tong wars was wondering if you can do more history in also fort point next to the Golden gate. I've been watching warrior HBO series I know a lot of it is made up but it's pretty neat of the history of Chinatown and the great earthquake. Keep up the amazing work I always enjoy your!
I just recently came across your channel with the Ferndale, CA video. Loved it and became a new subscriber. Now this is the second video and I'm really happy to have found you two. John Muir is a favorite historical figure for me. Thanks to you I've been able to visit his home and gravesite, at least vicariously. I look forward to your future explorations and catching up on your previous ones. Safe journey...
Love your channel ! My dad and mom took my sister and i to Yosemite as kids one of my fondest memories , breathtakingly beautiful. My daughter is named Wanda as well 🤗🥰
Thank you Jeff. I found this episode to be exciting and action packed. I had the " wheelies " as well when Sarah was close to the ledge. Nope not for me. I look forward to meeting Muir one of these times. Untill next time, be safe.
Every time I get close to a ledge like that my body gets an instant "chill" of sorts. I have peeked over the edge of Half Dome several times but never standing! Once when I was up there a guy was taking a leak over the ledge and pretended to be faint for his friends. Idiot. There are people who climb the face of it too.
Interesting history their, I never heard of this man but I loved learning about it. Awesome places and pictures that you covered. another awesome one today. I enjoyed the adventure.
My husband & I visited the John Muir house awhile ago. It was interesting & I especially liked the bell tower that is accessible from the attic. Thanks for sharing the history that I missed. I didn't even know there is a gravesite. Next time we get back down there we will have to go visit it.
Well done. Reading the comments it’s sad to see how many people haven’t heard of Muir, a true hero of the conservation movement and the concept of national parks.
It's amazing how the black and white picture doesn't do justice to the area where Sarah stood years later. The view is stunning. It makes me wonder how some places looked, photographed years ago. The pictures probably don't do justice either. So much change. Very informative video. Thank you.
We are often fooled into believing that folks of long ago had no color in their lives because of black and white photography. I wish we could go back in time and see legends like Abraham Lincoln in living color, hear them speak, etc.
I remember seeing the sign for this property the first time. I was oblivious to the fact that John Muir ever came out of the mountains and had a human life away from his activism and wandering in the woods. I appreciate all your stories, research and presentations.
Jeff, you're such a romantic. I too think about things like, who last touched this, that, & the other. I'll stand still & study, trying to imagine...Hiya Sarah! Always glad to see you!
HEY,.. JEFF & SARAH YA ! I Haven't Mead A Commented In a While But Yes I've Been Watching Every video ! And Do appreciate And Enjoy the old West and Californian History and WOW I Think that house Was so beautiful with all the old Wood work on The Inside and Outside of the Place John Muir Was an amazing And Incredible person Well ok Guy's take care Stay safe and will See you on the Next video

Thank you for sharing! I Thank God for John Muir and all he did to preserve our precious National Parks.
I’m so glad these homes are still here.
Yes, it is a national treasure!
I live one mile from the John Muir house and i haven't visited since we moved here 9 years ago! Thanks for sharing
Our pleasure! Will you be visiting now? lol
The national, state, and local parks systems are owed a debt of gratitude. Without them, we would die from the roots.
I took my son there last summer and we had lots of fun exploring the house. I only live about 30 mins away. We made a spontaneously visit to avoid traffic getting back home. It's also great that it's free, or at least it was when we visited. My son asked the docent lots of questions and we had almost a private tour.

John Muir is new to me. One of the joys of History Hunters, no two episodes are alike.

Nice video Jeff! Thanks for bringing us along.

Jeff win a great episode. Really enjoyed this. I love John Muir, but I didn’t realize his house and gravesite was in Martinez. I will definitely have to get there and check it out. Thank you so much the house was extraordinary. Thank you for all the great history. 🤟🏻💜😎🐬🇺🇸
this was a great tour- got a bit nervous with Sarah at that edge though....loved the bloopers!!!
Wonderful informative video! I had no idea John Muir’s mansion and burial site was In Martinez. I’ll have to visit! Thank you for your exploration!
Awesome! I hope you do get to go! How far are you from this city?
@@jbenziggy not far, I live in Roseville, so maybe an hour and a half. A nice day trip.
Thank you for another great video. All I knew of John Muir before this was he was the founder of the Sierra Club.
Jeff, I did the same thing when my grown son hung over the edge of 200ft Mooney Falls in Havasupai to take a photograph. I know the feeling! It still gives me chills to think about it! Great video!

Oh wow! You should go visiting! There is no charge to enter either!
Thanks for another great history lesson, Jeff. As always, I really enjoyed it.
Fantastic, Bart! And thanks for the donation! We really appreciate it!
Absolutely, my friend. I enjoy your videos, so I figured the least I could do is buy you lunch.
I hiked on the trails in Yosemite when I was in high school. Great memories😎😁❤😎
John Muir was a treasure. I toured that house many years ago. Thanks for refreshing my memories. I’m sure he’d be heartbroken to see what has become of not only his farm but California in general.
Great episode on John Muir, the outtakes were entertaining as well.🙂
Glad you like them! Thanks!
Yes....my hero....been there several times.......got engaged in the bell Tower once....rang the bell to celebrate.....love the story.
Fantastic episode on a guy I had never heard of. What a wonderful story and fantastic house. The gravesite of the great man is amazing. Loved that you showed his friend standing over the grave from years before, as I like those then and now pics as much as you do. Thank you
I like the then and now pictures too! Thanks! Loved the comment!
Thanks, Jeff, Hello Sarah.
Definitely one of my favorite people in our history.
I'm sending this to my grandson, hopefully his mother will let him see it.
Good knowledge for any outdoors loving person to know.

Nice video Jeff and Sarah. I myself love your editing. Especially when you compare the old pictures to now. Sarah is back! Yaay🎉❤
Thanks so much!! We feel the love, Kimberly! You bring a smile to our faces!

Thank you Jeff and Sarah for another great video, we really enjoy them all, you are our new Huell Howser, we always enjoy visiting the places you and Sarah have been
Glad you enjoyed it! Being compared to Huell is a great compliment so thanks!
I went there many years ago. It is so amazing that it is still there!
I think he truly grieved the loss of the Hetch Hetchy valley.
Wow I'd love to visit there sometime! Great video! Thanks Jeff and Sarah!
You should!

Nice JOB Jeff and Sarah. I love the way you write and narrated this History Hunters. Thank you for the education.

love these outings,nice to get out and breathe a breath of fresh air in these historic places.wonder if huell howser visited this place.
I believe that Huell did visit there but I'm not positive.
What a beautiful home and property!!!! I would never see or learn about these people and history if not for your videos!!!
Our mission is complete then! Thank you so much!
Thanks so much for the tour! ❤️
You are so welcome!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you, Michael!
So interesting. Never heard of this gentleman until your vlog. Great History Hunting my friend. tad older than you and still learning.

Hi . A nice story ,very interesting . Love the Victorian house . Thanks for all your great vlogs. Take care. Deborah 🇨🇦
Glad you like them!
Hi Jeff and Sarah thanks for making great videos!

I've been watching warrior HBO series I know a lot of it is made up but it's pretty neat of the history of Chinatown and the great earthquake. Keep up the amazing work I always enjoy your!
Brilliant ... thank you very much indeed for this extraordinary homâge to John Muir.
Glad you enjoyed it!!!
Great video!
Always interesting to see the old photos of men, and women , in complete dress , on top of places like Yosemite!
It's strange to see people all dressed up to go mountain trekking! LOL
Thank you for what you do, I enjoy watching and learning
So nice of you! Thanks, Stephen!
I just recently came across your channel with the Ferndale, CA video. Loved it and became a new subscriber. Now this is the second video and I'm really happy to have found you two. John Muir is a favorite historical figure for me. Thanks to you I've been able to visit his home and gravesite, at least vicariously. I look forward to your future explorations and catching up on your previous ones. Safe journey...
Welcome aboard! So happy to hear you found us! We have been doing this for six years now! Lots of old videos for you to watch!
Love your channel ! My dad and mom took my sister and i to Yosemite as kids one of my fondest memories , breathtakingly beautiful. My daughter is named Wanda as well 🤗🥰
Lovely man and beautiful video, think he would be very sad how it looks today. He was born not far from where i live today.Great video Jeff Thankyou
Thank you for sharing this wonderful history. Your presentation is greatly appreciated. 👍👌
Enjoyed this video, and the outtakes gave me the giggles!
Great video! I'm East Bay born & raised so I've been there, but it's been a while. Thank you! 👍
Beautiful place. Thanks for the history and the walk. 💜💜
Thanks! Jeff and Sarah🌳
You guys do a wonderful job
I certainly appreciate the nice comment! Thanks!
Thank you Jeff. I found this episode to be exciting and action packed. I had the " wheelies " as well when Sarah was close to the ledge. Nope not for me. I look forward to meeting Muir one of these times. Untill next time, be safe.
Every time I get close to a ledge like that my body gets an instant "chill" of sorts. I have peeked over the edge of Half Dome several times but never standing! Once when I was up there a guy was taking a leak over the ledge and pretended to be faint for his friends. Idiot. There are people who climb the face of it too.
Awesome video again Jeff!
Thanks again! Lol
Interesting history their, I never heard of this man but I loved learning about it. Awesome places and pictures that you covered. another awesome one today. I enjoyed the adventure.
Glad to see your comment, Regina! We are happy that we have such a great fan! How are things in Oklahoma? It’s hot today in California!
Thanks for the fix near the end. I watched the whole episode again because it was worth it.✅
For that we thank you very much!
Awesome! Thanks Jeff & Sarah.
Our pleasure! thank you!
My husband & I visited the John Muir house awhile ago. It was interesting & I especially liked the bell tower that is accessible from the attic. Thanks for sharing the history that I missed. I didn't even know there is a gravesite. Next time we get back down there we will have to go visit it.
Thanks for sharing! Maybe you can visit the grave. It's a bit tricky to find for sure!
Going to try next time we are down there!
Really enjoyable look back at a time past.
Love the video Jeff and Sara thank you 🙏
Thats freakin me out , and im at the house , watching on my phone !! 😮😂😊
You’re visiting the mansion today?
Thanks for what u do
My pleasure! Thank you Kevin!
Jeff what happened watched this in the am . now it came back again so I'LL watch it again. THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA......
There was an issue with sound dripping out at the end! Sorry about that!
@@jbenziggy that's ok. Jeff ,, So I got to watch twice in one day THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA.....
Well done. Reading the comments it’s sad to see how many people haven’t heard of Muir, a true hero of the conservation movement and the concept of national parks.
Very good history on John Muir Jeff
Excellent!! Thank you.
I love your videos. The bloopers were AWESOME!
Yay! Thank you, Stephanie! Nice to hear!
Beautiful place I've visited the home
Thanks Jeff !
You are welcome! Thank you, Larry!
I've climbed up that train track at 1:28 on new years and pissed off the side of it smoking a joint... good times lmao
Thanks for the great video on John Muir, I had no idea he lived in Martinez. Great bloopers at the end. Keep it up.
I appreciate the great review! Glad that you appreciated the bloopers at the end. I have having such a hard time! lol
It's amazing how the black and white picture doesn't do justice to the area where Sarah stood years later. The view is stunning. It makes me wonder how some places looked, photographed years ago. The pictures probably don't do justice either. So much change. Very informative video. Thank you.
We are often fooled into believing that folks of long ago had no color in their lives because of black and white photography. I wish we could go back in time and see legends like Abraham Lincoln in living color, hear them speak, etc.
Fascinating!
Love this channel Jeff ! You do an awesome job sharing history and facts!!! 😊😊😊😊 keep up the great work!!! ❤❤❤
Thanks, Carol! The encouragement means a lot of us! I appreciate it. As long as I make these, please keep watching! Blessings!
Hi Jeff and Sarah thanks for making great video!
Thank you very much!
I remember seeing the sign for this property the first time. I was oblivious to the fact that John Muir ever came out of the mountains and had a human life away from his activism and wandering in the woods. I appreciate all your stories, research and presentations.
For your comment I thank you very much!
Jeff, you're such a romantic. I too think about things like, who last touched this, that, & the other. I'll stand still & study, trying to imagine...Hiya Sarah! Always glad to see you!
Good stuff Jeff. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Great video! I received my shirt; I'm wearing it proudly.
Fantastic! Thank you!
This was I think one of your bests!
Thank you!
