      My great aunt Paula was Fred’s girlfriend at the time. She fled days before the FBI shootout. She lived in the house for a bit, and I met her when I was a kid. I wonder if I could skip the wait list….

      There was a garage to the right of the building as you enter. I saw it as a child in the early 1960's. The house had been patched up (exterior) pretty well but the garage was full of poorly patched bullet holes. For many years there was a bamboo hedge blocking the view from the road. Do you know if the bamboo hedge was there during the gunfight or was it planted later to keep curious people from viewing the house?

    It took me 13 years and several attempts to try to get inside of this house, in my former hometown of Ocklawaha. Yesterday, was the day it finally went down! Thanks for joining me for this long awaited tour! I didn’t feel the need to edit down the footage as much as I normally do, because this video is very important to me. Thanks for always joining and watching, everyone!

      Thank you for this very interesting tour. I have lived in North Central Florida since I was 15 years old, that is 60 years and I did not know anything about this. I knew, of course, about the famous Ma Barker and her gang but didn't realize they lived on Lake Weir.

    They also had a home in Minnesota. We owned a bar that had a tunnel during the bootleg days. Story was the Barkers and John Dillinger used those tunnels to get away also. The gas station down the street was a hang out for Al Kapone, Dillinger etc. Th3 tunnels went down to the bluffs toward the Mississippi.

    I have lived my entire life about 45 miles away from that location I was born in 1966 .
    I would have never known this part of history had you not enlightened me.
    Excellent job my friend.

      I'm just learning today, March 24, 2024 ! I'm a Florida native - born in Orlando 1975, moved to Tampa suburbs 1984 for my dad to start a construction materials and supply company. Tampa was booming for big buildings and warehouses, which were his specialty. We still spent a lot of weekends in Orlando as that is where all the extended family was. I started showing horses and went to a trainer in Ocala every weekend. Beautiful pastures still today. At some point, my aunt bought herself some land in WEIRSDALE. Now I'm wondering what connections I may have through my cousin at the Lady Lake preservation...that could get me an "in" to Ma's. 😉 Why we've never had a party at Gator Joe's....the threat is gone! Maybe for my 50th next year. Tampa Jay, I appreciate you sharing your adventures. I dig the hat....as long as NHL postseason is complete. ⚡💙⚡

    Not the same bead. check out the slats in the head frame. There are 7 in the current frame and only 4 in the old photo. Also the guide stated that there was originally only a single bed in that room. What is amazing is that the bullet ridden chair was kept by the new occupants and survived all these years. Great Job !!!

    I can imagine as an observer, how awesome it was to be on location( well, relocated).
    Also! It's amazing how much the Tour Guide knew and retained all the information. Pretty rad! It's also amazing how all the mirrors were intact, and NOT destroyed during the long shootout. Miraculously.

    Next to your Tombstone video...THIS one is by far the best you've ever done! As a student of history, I couldn't be more happy that not only you got to visit, but that everything was kept as is! It's not that often one finds historical places with this much detail still intact. AND given that so many rounds were exchanged...that items like that lamp, the chandelier, the mirrors still survived. Also...loved the look on that guys face when you pointed to the couch where Ma Barker most likely died... Well done, Sir. Thanks for bringing us along!

    It reminds me of the Lizzie Borden House in Fall River, MA. I've been on a tour there a few times, and it was just like how this tour was. Although most of the furniture and decor at the Lizzie Borden house wasn't original to when the Bordens lived there. It was interesting and creepy at the same time, seeing the pictures of the rooms of Ma's house with the same furniture and items in them.

    It would be Interesting to see if they used a blue light in the MA Barker death room would there be any old DNA laying around, I understand that's difficult to get rid of, but the house was definitely a amazing time machine 😯😮

      Only issue being it's collection, and the availability of any sample to compare it to.

    I remember watching the Arther C Clarke’s documentary on the Ma Barker house. The elderly woman who owned it spoke about the hauntings in the summer home.

    We went to the re-enactment one time. They used the Chamber of Commerce in place of the house. Locals played all the characters. A museum was inside the Chamber of Commerce.

    Tampa Jay, this was one of your best videos my friend. I am also fascinated with the crime and gangsters of that era. This was a very informative tour and video. To see the house and the furnishings still there as was in the days of the incident is amazing! Great video. I fully enjoyed it.

    FYI: Harvey Bailey, another well-known bank robber of the era, knew the Barker gang well, and in his autobiography published in the 1970s, he agreed with Karpis, observing that Ma Barker "couldn't plan breakfast", and was certainly no mastermind behind any gang activity. It is purported that Ma Barker's entire reputation as a criminal mastermind was concocted by Hoover to protect the FBI's public image after federal agents discovered they had killed a 62-year-old mother

    You guys remind me of my son I took him from NYC(queens) to Ocala 2015 promised a business had some shady relatives in Ocala and was roped in!!! Lol what a mess?! Ocala is a strange place for people from the north!
    My son played with the "Misfits" and is a bassist Ocala isn't the place for that! Glad to see u made it out the other side just another experience in life !! Much luck to you both ❤️

    My first video of watching on your channel. This was great. You didn't miss a beat. I like how you held up the original photo to today. Awesome!
    The house is very cute. An old house indeed but looked freshly painted with beautiful colors.
    History stories are always nice to know. What the Barker's did was bad however they did get their come up ins. Lol Evil never wins.
    Thanks for the tour. I guess that means we all owe you $20. Lol.

    Thank you Tampa Jay! I wanted to travel to these places when I retired, but was in an accident within 2 years of retiring, that left me with an incomplete spinal cord injury. Your travels and others, take me to the places I wanted to go. I'm so appreciative! So interesting and beautiful.
