I would love to spend a month in DC seeing all the museums
You would actually need about that long.
@@TheHistoryUnderground it would take many days to see all. Many less known places besides the Smithsonian's.. FBI museum, National Geographic HQ is huge and big museum, Naval Yard,The Pentagon, Soldiers home museum ( mostly civil war stuff), I could go on and on..
Did anybody else think about the eye holes scene from Django unchained when he showed the kkk mask LMAO 😂
Ha! I thought the same thing.
Yes sir.
Immediately lol
So django unchained was right about the kkk hoods eye holes was right
Ha!
Thank you. My daughter and I had the opportunity to go to DC when she was in the 7th grade. At the time I thought I would look up information on the Smithsonian Institute as I knew we would be going there. I was amazed that it is made up of 17 museums! Spent most of our time in Air and Space!
i always enjoy discovering old but new videos to me that you post. Thanks friend
Glad you like them!
@@TheHistoryUnderground JD is there a email or youtube area we can send you some photos of interesting revolutionary war Generals and others that played a big part in the war and the countries birth. I was at the Westminster Hall and Burial Grounds in downtown Baltimore. The Star Spangled Banners birth and some major players. I took some pictures if you would like to research for a video store.
Did you go to the DC Naval Yard? If not you should, lots of history.. Love the 16 -20 inch plates of steel used for Naval cannons. Too much to mention, must see..
Thanks!
I'm from Winston-salem North Carolina. Shout out to my fellow North Carolinians!

Abraham Lincoln's top hat.
As a fellow history teacher, your channel is addicting. Great stuff!
That really means a lot. Thank you. I've been working on creating some viewing guides for students as well. Hope that this and other episodes are useful to you.
No Wonder you're a history fanatic.
$7 for a PB&J combo? Greatest diet plan ever??? The price of food!!! Wow!
Brutal. 😅
Great videos.. keep up the good work.. smashing the like button
Much appreciated
Watching some of your older videos, wishing you well as much as I can from Seattle WA, while you're doing work with your boy for the people of Poland and Ukraine. I want nothing but the best for all of you!
I noticed that dim lighting is an issue in a lot of museum videos. I think certain water based colors/dyes, woods and textiles are very light-sensitive. That might be why they're so dimly lit.. to help preserve them over time.
You are correct
No there are plenty of lights and films for cutting UV. The lighting is for highlighting the artifacts and keeping a calming mood.
Just started watching your videos and enjoying them. If you are ever interested in interesting and unique things try coming to the Detroit area to Greenfield Village and Henry Ford Museum. They are in the same complex but two different parts with one outside and one inside. From there had about 3 hours north to Mackinac island and check out the fort. Just a couple good stops for history in Michigan
I have never been to Detroit but I have been to Mackinac Island and it was amazing. And the fudge is to die for.
YT just put this in my feed. Pretty cool video!
Cool, thanks!
They do have All in the Family & Archie Bunker on TV as of today - 06/08/2022 - in the Boston Area. Regular Airwaves on a Marlborough, Mass. Station. I don't know if they would have the show for you Locally. Maybe Cable. This Video is surely a 'Walk down Memory Lane'. Ted Williams was a Local Boy. Man, 'he served his Country in two Wars' - Early & Later Peaks - and still 'is considered One of the Best Base Ball Players' - Ever. Norman Rockwell's Prints raised some $132 million dollars in 1943 money = $2,205,918,381.50 - trillions (06/08/2022). Wow! Really Cool. Thanks for the Effort. God Bless.
All in the Family is still in syndication. They show it on a channel called Antenna TV. Not sure if that channel is available everywhere though.
Wuzwrongwitdatdolla - WHERE?!?! I haven’t been able to find it anywhere.
The History Underground Antenna TV is the name of the channel. It comes with the cable service (Comcast) where I live (Oregon). I don’t know if Antenna TV is available where you live though. You can watch seasons 5 & 6 on sonycrackle.com for free and there’s also a lot of episodes that were uploaded to TH-cam.
Wuzwrongwitdatdolla - Awesome. Thanks for the info. If you haven’t had a chance, I’d appreciate if you subscribed. I always appreciate the extra knowledge that I get from people when I upload these videos.
The History Underground You’re welcomed and subscribed...great channel!
I think Antenna TV is only received on an actual antenna. WCIU, which is channel 26 where I live, also offers 4 other channels (26.2, 26.3, 26.4, 25.5) but you cannot get them on dish or cable, only with an antenna.
I remember the Archie Bunker chairs and the Ruby Red Slippers being on the Freedom Train that toured the US on the bicentennial in 1976.
Love the Swedish chef, can´t understand what he is saying - even though I am Swedish, but hey, it is still funny! ^^
Ha! That’s funny.
@@TheHistoryUnderground I think it is some gibberish, it is not Swedish ata ll. ;)
Hey mr.huitt I was just wanted to let you know that i told Aaron deadmond to give you a shout out for your account but he said that he isn't going to because he says that it would be pointless to do so and for that I believe that he should be a right up and a few days of detention.
What was the name of the book you used? At 6:04, my screen is too small~wanna see if I need to buy that or if I have already?
Another great video buddy thanks for sharing
Thanks! Glad that you're enjoying them. Don't forget to sign up for the 5K Giveaway if you haven't already.
Just a minor point, the hand pumping fire engine was hand drawn, not horse drawn. Excellent video as always.
Bob Tracey - Oh man. My bad. Thanks for the clarification and thanks for watching!
Im guessing the guy who wore the klan hood was like the one in Django that kept complaining about not being able to see lol
If I had my way, all lobbyists would have to do their business outside the beltway.
Just discovered your channel, absolutely love your videos. Can't wait to visit some of the places in your videos. Thank you for the excellent information!!
Thanks! I really do appreciate that. Feel free to share the channel out so that others can discover it as well 🙂
What's more un-American than charging some Family an astronomical amount of money for an item that costs .50 cents wholesale. Quick math says that a Family of 5 would expect to pay $100 for lunch with drinks and tax. WTF. The irony, the many many reminders of the hard fought freedoms in the museum, and the scattered reminders of the lost freedoms outside in the form of a $7 kids meal, no doubt, $9 dollars in 2022.
Yeah, pretty ridiculous.
my coworkers dad was part of that Greensboro set in
Wow! That is amazing.
@@TheHistoryUnderground she tells me stories that her dad told her and its fascinating
That intro made me giggle
Ha!
Loved the video. Thank you for bringing us history. You have an awesome channel. We love the same stuff. I do some of the same things on my channel. One day we may meet up vlogging something historical.
Thank you for your tour. Really enjoyed it.
I am a lobbyist in Missouri and a Travel Agent. I would love to play that "Lobby" game! :)
Ha!
Got to put it on my bucket list. I love history
Archie Bunker's jacket showed up on Antique's Roadshow. The appraiser said it was worth about $10,000. I think the appraiser was off a bit.
Those prices at the end and people talk about ball game food prices
Ha!
What museums would you recommend when visiting DC?
This episode probably gives my best answer: th-cam.com/video/Uyez3vtQehc/w-d-xo.html
Random, but you can watch All in the Family on Pluto TV
Thanks!
I recognized the textbook I have used for many years now as a high school social studies teacher. It was the 3rd up from the bottom -- The Americans. We used to bring the Junior Class on a field trip to DC. I took a break from organizing it for one year, then COVID hit. I hope to visit there this summer with my family.
I just discovered your channel yesterday and I'm binging it now and making notes for the trip I'm taking in a couple years! Also watching this in 2021 and seeing a couple of the places you are in the videos hits a little differently these days. I'm loving your content!
Thanks! So glad that you are enjoying the content :)
@@TheHistoryUnderground I really am! It's fantastic, you're living my dream life!
Back in October 2018y husband was working at West Point, NY and staying at a hotel in Fort Montgomery while I and my kids were home in Panama City, FL. October 10th Panama City was hit by a massive category 5 hurricane and after being trapped for 2 days I took my kids to New York to be with my husband. We took a train into NYC and had an absolute blast. I also took a few minutes to myself and wound up going to the Fort Montgomery historic site which was burned down by the British in 1776. That was where I decided that I wanted to explore historical sites and museums like you. I got bit by the history bug big time! I only hope my content is as good as yours!
If you love the muppets then you need to visit the museum of the moving image in Queens NY
I loved the Muppets! And I've never been to New York, so that gives me another excuse to go.
Was/is there still a display from the tv show MASH?
Thanks for sharing.
If it was there when I was, I missed it. That stinks because I really liked that show and would've like to have seen that display.
@@TheHistoryUnderground That's ok. It was WAY back in the mid-90's when I went and saw it. It's one of my favs too.
Thief’s! PBJ $7!!!
I grew up near Greensboro NC, been to that same place where the sit in happened at a few times. It’s in the heart of downtown Greensboro.
I'm wondering if the have anything there about the lost battalion a World War 1 Argonne Forest
To be honest, they didn’t really have much on WWI. At least not when I was there. Pretty disappointing.
@@TheHistoryUnderground yes sir love your videos great stuff I share them and plan on watching them all
They may not have it on display. They have a huge annex in Maryland where they store things
Lmfao 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great video 👍 I truly enjoyed it.
Daniel Gonzalez - Thanks! Appreciate that.
who is the host of History Underground?
My brother in Christ you keep saying “the room is so dark I can’t see anything!” Yet haven’t googled why. The reason why they are dark is to preserve the cloth of the pieces they have on display. Believe it or not yes light can damage cloth given time. To prevent this the museum keeps the lights dim and the temperature constant to give the cloth the best chance of survival for future generations to observe.
