    Just wanted to thank you for all of your videos. The love, passion and respect you have for American history should be taught in classrooms. American History is a forgotten subject in our schools.... thanks again.

    Wonderful shout out for local county museums. The wall of black and white photos of those that served from their hometown is humbling. That is what each little dot on a map showing each of our hometowns would represent. Men and women answering a call to help their fellow man. Thank you again JD. So much to take in.

    I found this episode and that museum to be very fascinating as well. Those personal stories about Gean MacDonald and the bomber craw we're very heartwrenching,. I'm not ashamed to admit that I she's a few years. Thank you for sharing another amazing and heartwarming video, JD.

    Quite amazing little museum packed with lots of unique, and wonderful objects. I love the way they have their trash dump items, neatly displayed with bits of this and that, yet pleasing to the eye. The pictures of lost WWII vets are amazing, so many who died and left families with broken hearts, they live on with this history in place. I think they have done an amazing job with their historical content and artifacts.

    Wow, just wow! Phenomenal! Unlike a 'national' museum, this one is the personal connection, the local connection. That's worth a long visit. I was so glad to see they have now ruined those old weapons by "rendering them safe" as California museums have done.

  • @timothyblackburn2830

    Love this video! You always find these overlooked gems. In my county museum, there is so much history and so many historic places. Few locals seem to be interested in our local, state and national history contained therein and properties owned by my county. Quite sad.
    "Those who do not remember [or study and understand] the past are surely condemned to repeat it."
    We have a 100 plus 1800s buildings and houses museum. I am proud to say my 9 greats grandfather built the oldest house in the museum in 1763 upon his return from the French and Indian War.
    My prayer is for you to continue to highlight these unknown and underappreciated museums and historic places!🙏

    I live near one of the oldest cities in the US Southeast. We have what are called “Privvy Digs” which are essentially digging up the part of your back yard where the outhouse(s) used to sit. People used to use the outhouse as a trash can, so all kinds of neat 17th - 19th century items can be found.

    While the NC4 flying boat did indeed make the first aerial Transatlantic crossing, in May 1919, it was not a non stop crossing, being done in stages over 11 days. The first true, non stop, aerial Transatlantic crossing was made a month later in June 1919 by John Alcock and Arthur Smith, in a Vickers Vimy.
