I think the one and a half hour drive outta the way was well worth it to see Mr. Cornwallis Bunyan...💯✔️ I also enjoyed seeing the little Chapple too...❤️
It was great to see you in our home state of Minnesota! You were sooo close to the headwaters of the Mississippi River in Itasca. It was only 30 miles from Bemidgi.
Minnesotan here. I have pictures of me and my DH at those cut outs in Treasure City. Too fun! P.S. It's the Land of 10,000 Lakes, Jacob and Bemidji is pronounced Buh-midge-ee ; )
That taxidermy display was amazing. They really did a great job putting those things in life-like, dynamic action poses. I love dioramas that include a look under water.
From Minnesota here....the Paul Bunyan Center that used to be in Brainerd was a terrific place to take kids with an animated and speaking Paul gian statue as you entered. Catails are also refered to as Paul Bunyan wiskars. The headwaters of the Mississippi River is actusly in Itasca Mn. The way we pronounce Bemidji here in Mn is "Burr-midji" for how cold it gets in the winter.
Welcome to Minnesota! You almost pronounced Bemidji correctly, it’s closer to sounding like ‘Bahmidge’. You’ve seen more of the area then I and I went to high school close to Bemidji.
Paul Bunyan is the man!! Growing up I felt the same way, they really should do a new movie on him. Your excitement in each of your videos is the reason I come back. Our family just loves weird & wacky places.
Awh man! I am so sad I missed you while you were here! I told myself I'd catch you next time you came around lol but I am glad you had such a great time visiting the wonderful state of MN! :)
I don't know about that being the world's biggest Paul Bunyan statue. The one at Klamath CA. at Tree's of Mystery Is a lot bigger I do believe. And Babe is standing right next to him is just as big. Paul even waves his hand and speaks if they have someone operating him when you're there. They also have a trail that has some amazing tree's that grow in odd ways. And along the trail they have chainsaw carved depictions of his friends and his story. As well as a narration that goes with it as you walk along
Thanks for the video Jacob. Don't believe that Paul Bunyan is dead at the "Paul Bunyan Memorial Park" you visited. Paul is alive and still entertaining the youngsters at Paul Bunyan Land in Brainerd, Minnesota where you once visited him. I love visiting Paul there.
We don't have a Pigeon Forge, or whatever it is called. We don't have a Wisconsin Dells. But I, for years, have though that all the travels across America have neglected a lot of treasures in northern MN, as well as the metro area and areas of Wisconsin. I know Jacob has been here before, and others have, too. But it seems like our northern location and climate results in less exploration than states like Illinois, Indiana or Missouri. Great to see Jacob hitting up these nifty outposts of Minnesota. While he is in the metro area I'm hoping he'll check out Hot Sam's. It's an art park, essentially, and it's nifty. That's the one place in the metro I'd vote for over all others.
I tell people Minnesota is an underrated tourist location and while working at Hard Rock at Mall of America I've heard many out of towners agree with me.
@@michaelrodriguez2784 irony, I just left Mall of America, where I only learned a couple of months ago that the hard rock is now gone. Not shocked, given the current climate, but I was there more than once, although for work-related purposes. Given we get less pass through traffic than states to the south, it's not a shock we don't have as many roadside attractions to choose from in these parts, but as Jacob has proven on his trips in the past, there are still plenty to be found. I hope we see more of them from him in the future.
Welcome to Minnesota. Its not as cool as other states but were proud of Paul for carrying Minnesota on his back. everyone should just move to Minne tbh
I've been on a big Paul Bunyan kick, so this was fun. It was neat to see my home, Winona, featured prominently in that fireplace. I'll definitely be checking out your older Paul video.
IIRC The Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago used to have a section on Paul. I recall a cabin you'd walk into that was angled as Paul had picked it up and was looking in one of the windows.
Hi Jacob, loved this little reminder of a Great fabled man. So much so, when I got done I searched TH-cam and FOUND the original 1958 Walt Disney's Paul Bunyan. I grew up with this, it will always be my Favorite rendition of the story of Paul. By the way, I believe Babe was male, according to that cartoon anyway. Not real sure, lol. Keep on keepin' on Jacob! LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!! 🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oddly enough I think I was exposed to Paul Bunyan through that Disney cartoon about him that was made in what the sixties or seventies? But yeah that little cartoon made me love Paul and his big blue ox.
That was really fun to watch! I'm from Minnesota and I had no idea that we had all of that Paul Bunyan stuff. I was really surprised that there's a gravesite. Next time I'm in your live stream I leave a little something for gas money. I know that was a lot of driving.
You should go to Northern California and check out the Trees of Mystery! They have a HUUUUUGE Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox Statue and a gondola ride through the redwoods. It’s located in Klamath, CA I believe
I remember seeing a lot of Paul Bunyan statues on the West Coast during the 80's. Oregon and Washington mostly. I think that most of those Paul Bunyan's are gone now.
Jus to get too Brainard from the Iowa state line is forever. Used to go fishing up there every yr with my father an younger brother, Toby, who passed of brain cancer in dec 2014. Haven't been up there since.
Great to see you stomping around many MN points of interest. Seems like a return trip has been long overdue. I've got a feeling you're headed to a point about 7 miles from a cabin I stay at every summer.
In my hometown back in the day we had a restaurant called East Park that had a Paul Bunyan Burger. It was like a Big Mac but twice as big. They were so good! Alas the place was torn down to make a gas station. ☹️
Paul Bunyan is also part of French Canadian culture too. There’s a few statues of him up here. A 20 foot one in Porquis Junction Ontario and one in BC called Sam the Ax Man. He’s basically Paul. The Porquis one is Paul.
23:25 Paul Bunyan's arch nemesis looks like the Native American from Enchanted Forest. It was an amusement park in some part of Indiana. I think the statue was at the entrance of Enchanted Forest. I had so much fun going there as a kid. That place is long gone now. It closed in the early '90s, in fact there's a video from the early '90s when they were auctioning off the rides that's been posted on TH-cam. Some guy videotaped the areas of the amusement park. There's also an old commercial from the '80s posted on here. I only know part of the jungle that went something like this, 🎶Come right along to Enchanted Foorest.🎶 Anyway, the only place I know with Paul Bunyan involved is Wisconsin Dells. And I did see you go to Paul Bunyan's Cook Shanty. That's the place my family always go to eat on the last day at Wisconsin Dells. One time we went there twice. One time for dinner and one time for breakfast. Yum yum! And that happened in the early '2000s. I love Wisconsin Dells. Paul Bunyan is a neat little story you can learn about.
I think the one and a half hour drive outta the way was well worth it to see Mr. Cornwallis Bunyan...💯✔️ I also enjoyed seeing the little Chapple too...❤️
There's a huge Paul Bunyan in the Mall of America on the flume ride.
Welcome back to Minnesota. We do love Paul Bunyan here.
Rest stop taxidermy! Cordwood Pete! Fireplace of the States! The grave of Paul Bunyan! What a video, really enjoyed it. Appreciate your dedication.

Is DH dead husband?
@@melisagilbert4486 ok
I knew Paul Bunyan from your channel, and love him since! Thank you for the hardwork for this video, Mr. Jacob! A really wonderful trip!
Thanks for the history of Paul great video Jacob

Yay you're in Minnesota! We are the best state ever lol woot woot!! Hope u have (or had rather) a great time. 😁👍👍
Love seeing all the Paul Bunyan Statues but I think you need to look up the start of the Mississippi River in Itasca State Park
Welcome to Minnesota! Born and raised here, Paul Bunyan brings back wonderful childhood memories. Thanks for sharing. Excellent video
As a born and raised Minnesotan I love this video!
It’s the land of 10,000 lakes. Love your shows. Fun to see you in Minnesota
Eau Claire has a pretty solid Paul Bunyan statue near their heritage museum, and is a short drive from the Minnesota border.
From Minnesota here....the Paul Bunyan Center that used to be in Brainerd was a terrific place to take kids with an animated and speaking Paul gian statue as you entered.

@@markwitte303 You are the type of person that shouldn't be commenting on TH-cam.
yes
That mini Paul is hilarious on the dash, and in other photo ops, lol love it! Say cheese little Paul! Lol
Cord wood is also a measurement for stacking firewood.
Paul Bunyan is the man!! Growing up I felt the same way, they really should do a new movie on him. Your excitement in each of your videos is the reason I come back. Our family just loves weird & wacky places.
Lol. I want to see the composite photo with your face in every position of the photo-op.
Awh man! I am so sad I missed you while you were here! I told myself I'd catch you next time you came around lol but I am glad you had such a great time visiting the wonderful state of MN! :)

Good morning Jacob Thanks for the trip.
thanks from 🇮🇹
Paul Bunyan was a big dude!
I heard the Bunyan legend growing up, but I never heard this much detail. Interesting 🤔
Water safari in old forge new york
@@tonyp2875 And?
ty for telling about his story
Never been this early, keep up the great work, and to everyone reading this. Have a great day :)
Cool episode. Wouldn't want to be there in February!
It’s so cool 😎 that Paul Bunyan had a beautiful family and detailed on everything he did growing up
PAUL FREAKIN' BUNYAN - LOVED the show you've made of MIGHTY PAUL
Cool vid. Love these roadside attractions

Land of Lakes butter is my favorite!
Oh awesome! My neck of the woods!
There is a Paul Bunyan statue at Enchanted Forest in Old Forge NY along with tons of other fiberglass characters!

Your right. Its cooler.
This is my kind of content! Always love your videos 😊

Stop in Moorhead Minnesota see the Hjemkomst museum. You’d really enjoy.
And here I thought Paul Bunyan was just Minnesota lore. The stories fascinated me as a child.
Paul Bunyan was inspired by a man here in Michigan called Fabian foreigner ( Saginaw Joe) he was killed in bay city Michigan.
Maybe you can complete the mythology trinity with John Henry and Pecos Bill. Oops, I see you did an earlier John Henry statue video a few years ago.
You should go to Northern California and check out the Trees of Mystery! They have a HUUUUUGE Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox Statue and a gondola ride through the redwoods. It’s located in Klamath, CA I believe

@@englishatheart OK. You must be fun at a party.......
Jus to get too Brainard from the Iowa state line is forever. Used to go fishing up there every yr with my father an younger brother, Toby, who passed of brain cancer in dec 2014. Haven't been up there since.
There's also a wooden statue of Johnny Appleseed in the Glenbrook Mall in Fort Wayne, IN. :)
Born and raised in the U.P. of Michigan and as a child my friends and I were convinced Paul Bunyan and fur bearing trout were real. 😄
The Bemidji Paul and Babe are my favorites.
There is a really nice Paul Bunyan statue in Bangor, ME. You should try to check it out sometime.
Was on that one when I was a kid and loved seeing it! I'm from and in New Brunswick
Great to see you stomping around many MN points of interest. Seems like a return trip has been long overdue.
I've got a feeling you're headed to a point about 7 miles from a cabin I stay at every summer.
Bam. You made it to Akeley. Not surprised to see you found it.
Good to see the Bemidji Bunyan's arm has been repaired.
"That's a license to print money." This joke made me laugh, and I rarely laugh while watching videos.
Jacob, there's a Kewpie Doll museum outside of Branson, MO at the birthplace of the creator, Rosie O'Neiil.
I Went and stayed on Duck lake in Minn. and went to Deer Town where the begining of the Mississippi river start.
In my hometown back in the day we had a restaurant called East Park that had a Paul Bunyan Burger. It was like a Big Mac but twice as big. They were so good! Alas the place was torn down to make a gas station. ☹️
You should come back at the end of the month for the State Fair.
Everything's so large in that place
Goodmorning hope you just sat in the car and rest before you went to the hotel. Safety First
I'm so excited about this episode!😄
This is my home state and I'm currently very close to the places he went to!
There are some Paul Bunyan footprints in Pequot Lakes, MN.
Paul Bunyan is also part of French Canadian culture too.

We have a Paul Bunyan burger joint in post falls idaho! Pretty good burgers!
Not sure if you’ve been up there- but there is a Paul Bunyan statue in Bangor, Maine! 😁
Wow that's amazing
A cord is a stack of wood, 4 ft x 4 ft x 8 ft. It is a standard for selling firewood.
Hi Jacob 🙋🏽. Didn't you do a Paul Bunyan tour before ❓🤔 never mind, you just answered my question.😃 Really Jacob 😂😅😂🤣😅😂😁 LoL.
My high school in powder springs Georgia has a giant fiberglass native American like that one
I love your channel and I love how you explain everything in detail
Come to Alexandria, MN and meet Big Ole!
That would be a hoop skirt. I love these vlogs. But Jacob, you gotta clean that windshield
The word you're hunting for is a bustle.
Love your omega mart shirt!
Have you seen Pierre “the pantsless” Voyager up in Two Harbors, Minnesota? There is also a giant chicken.
There are taller statues of him in California. Love Paul. :)
I'm for Cordwood Pete
Lucette is wearing a bustle.
Paul Bunyan is a kaiju. 100%. If king Kong is a kaiju then so is Paul Bunyan.
You like to see how courd wood fits together look at a log cabin

Where did Paula go? 😆 ...Yup, we used to really like Paul Bunyan in Michigan, years ago.
Have you been to all the Paul Bunyan statues in NC? Battleboro and Rocky Mount NC.
