Helen Keller House

We detoured off the Natchez Trace and headed for Tuscumbia, Alabama to see where Helen Keller was born in 1881. When Helen was 19 months old she contracted a serious fever, which may have been scarlet fever or meningitis. This left her deaf and blind. Unable to communicate, she became a difficult child. You can see the room she lived in and the famous pump where Annie Sullivan spelled out water in one hand while the cool water pored over Helens other hand. Helen explained, Suddenly I felt a misty consciousness as of something forgotten, a thrill of returning thought, and somehow the mystery of language was revealed to me.

She's my biggest inspiration. Her smile and attitude is so uplifting and inspiring. I feel like I can do anything in the world when I read about or watch videos of Helen Keller

[@mauiewowie7558]

Also she fucking went to school and graduated on time and how could she learn brail if all she senses is bumps stupid fucks back then omg

[@zaibkhan4353]

You can do anything my friend,I believe in you.

[@brilovespatrickbriones5318]

I wish i couldve met Helen Keller, it's so heartbreaking to see her blind and deaf at the same time

[@sunanguyen3502]

Ikr

[@sunanguyen3502]

Its so sad to see her blind and deaf

[@diminamer]

Hellen Keller was not blind and deaf. She just had a slight cold.

[@katejanrway]

Helen Keller was totally blind in both eyes from the age of 19 months. She was also totally deaf. Anne Sullivan was, herself, legally blind. Hope this helps.

[@KingRoseArchives]

I'm sure you'll enjoy the house. She is truly inspirational. And they've done a great job restoring the house.

[@KingRoseArchives]

Thank you for helping with this. I have another clip that I'll be uploading showing Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan on a trip to Detroit.

[@edmar1528]

This made me cry ;(

[@shavaughn1980]

I went there when I was a teenager. I loved it and I really want to go back. I even got to see the play Miracle Worker in the back yard and I held books that belonged to Helen. Helen Keller was my idle growing up.

[@mammabear2545]

She was so tired of what happend to her, she fought to it, she doesn't have that problem anymore. Fly little Angel....

[@carolinebergin4633]

I’ve seen her resting place, at the national cathedral of Washington DC.

[@Spiritpup5]

[@KingRoseArchives]

thanks for watching.

[@lifestyles2482]

I went to that house, I couldn’t remember when or what state it was in it was just an old memory but I guess now knowing it was Alabama, I must’ve been under eight. Unless there’s another house or maybe they moved to another state like Connecticut or Massachusetts or New York, that was the one that I went to and I got to see the actual water pump that was in every story in the genesis

[@MysticalChicken]

She was completely blind in both eyes, as well as deaf in both ears.

[@tomhanks9413]

Je crois que c’est la qu’il sont fait le film Helen Keller

[@airelxo]

I live 10 mins from here (:

[@catherinehermansen4376]

Can you tour the house? I thought this video was about the house. I wanted to see because I just marathon rewatched 2 of 3 movies.

[@TURQUOISEEYES]

@@catherinehermansen4376 If you go to her house here in Alabama you can tour it. I have a few times since I have been here.

[@catherinehermansen4376]

@@TURQUOISEEYES thank you so much. My nephew is now in Alabama so road trip! You are very kind. ♥️

[@TURQUOISEEYES]

@@catherinehermansen4376 You're welcome. Look for the space tree as well. As a sapling they took it into space and brought it back and planted it at Helen Keller's plantation. In Huntsville, is the Space and rocket center. Worth seeing too! They used to have space camps here. I don't know if they still do.

[@TURQUOISEEYES]

@@catherinehermansen4376 FYI. There are rides at the space and rocker center.

[@cyndicoffman4175]

[@dakotathacker3821]

So many comments on this video dont make much sense or are super weird in general.
