    I just found out about this place a few days ago and am sad to learn it closed in November...hearing you call it the best curiosities museum is like pouring salt in a wound. Great video and it looks like it was a truly awesome place

    Wow!!! This is yet another place my husband and I definitely have to visit! Freaky and Fascinating...thank you so much for this Jacob...roadside attractions are a real favorite of mine. I have been made aware of so many more through your videos! It's nice to see one new and/or refurbished rather than old, delapidated an closing down. Love it, love it, LOVE IT!! It's about time that some of the sideshow finds are recognized as being the artwork they really are! (I am betting that it cost more than a dime to get in...lol)

    Imagine seeing the process of how all these oddities were made. Just some guy mutilating animal corpses and sticking them together. It's grotesque, but I guess the animals don't really mind at that point.

    Oh hey, Daniel Lambert was actually from Leicester ( Where I live), he only moved to London briefly to perform as an oddity, then he got tired of it and headed back to Leicester. His chair is on display at a museum ( Atleast I think it is... that museum got renovated.)
    My town isn't know for much other than making socks, finding a dead king in a carpark and a giant fat guy. But we're proud of our giant fat guy.
    It's kinda weird that he's actually the logo on the sign.

And now all I do is look forward to all of your videos. So keep them coming can't weight to see all the ones from New England. I really can't weight to see the Salem MA ones. Did you go to the all the old houses there?

    I really hate clowns. I mean I sweat if I have to go near them. Awesome gaffes, some of the best I've seen. I love Homer Tate's work. The fur trouts usually have silver fox fur. Whether the shrunken head is from a microcephalic person or not doesn't matter because they sewed the mouth, neck, eyes, and nose closed and peeled the flesh away from the skull and sewed up the back and boiled until it shrunk down to nothing and they wore them on there belts. Without the skull and brain you wouldn't know if the person had microcephaly. I'd definitely go to this museum if I ever go to Pennsylvania!

    • @TheCarpetbagger
      @TheCarpetbagger  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I actually found some of Tate's work traveling with a random sideshow a few years back
