I always wanted to visit Meade. I know the Dalton Gang robbed banks in Cimmaron, Kansas and Woodward, Oklahoma. So they very well could have hid out in Meade.
Yes you're right. There are no known robberies in Meade which also could make it a good spot to hide. Thank you for watching Chris!
@@RhettyforHistory You do a great job Rhetty, I like your intro. I think the Dalton Gang robbed a train in Cimmaron -- not a bank -- my bad.
I can't remember all the places or spots right off hand. I know they were active for awhile.
COOL PLACE TO VISIT GO WHEN YOU HAVE TIME TO SEE ALL THE SIGHTS THEN HIT DODGE CITY
@@184876ela Yes Dodge is interesting, I have been there many times. Hays, Kansas is also an interesting place, great natural history museum there.
I stopped the video 6:21 where you were showing the room upstairs. I will probably comment later after I watch all the way through. I stopped it because I wanted to comment now on what I see in that room. It is bringing back a lot of memories. The organ in the corner, when I was four years old my neighbors had one exactly like it and the boy and girl who lived there taught me to play it. My short little legs couldn't reach the pumps so the boy pumped while I played. And that treadle sewing machine....my grandmother had one and sewed my wedding dress on it in 1975. Oh my, the memories. 😍 I just saw the table. My grandmother had one just like that also. She was born in 1889 and married in the 19teens. My grandfather bought all of their furniture for her wedding present. She took very good care of it and still had all of it in factory shape when she passed in 1985.
That does sound like you have some special memories with those items. My grandmother had an organ that she played but it was more modern than this one. I remember her car loved to walk across the keys. The items in this house seemed to come from all over but I was told that they were of the time period. It was a tiny house but fascinating to visit. Thank you for watching and sharing some of your special memories with the sewing machine and organ!
Rhetty, thank you so so so much for sharing this. It was a very interesting tour. And brought back so many lovely memories of my grandmother and my childhood ❤
You're welcome and that's really neat that it brought back some memories for you!
@@RhettyforHistory Thank you 💟
Why would a gang put up a sign advertising their hideout? Lol just kidding. Great video. Going to need to visit there.
Haha! Imagine these old outlaws with Instagram, Facebook and Twitter? Thank you for watching and I hope you get the opportunity to visit some day.
You will also want to visit the county museum in town-one of the better county museum's that I've visited across the country!
I've heard it is good. I didn't have the time to do so but I spoke to a gentleman that works in there. Thank you for watching!
Fantastic video thankyou for putting it up here. I appreciate it.
You're welcome and thank you so much for watching William!
Enjoyed this very much. We have gone up to Garden City many times in the past and never known about this stop on the way. I think we will go by there next time we head that way. Thanks for once again making an interesting video. I really like your Wild West videos.
Thank you for watching and I'm glad to hear you are enjoying the Wild West videos. Garden City is pretty close to this so I hope you get the chance to visit this hideout. I definitely think it's worth a stop.
I am a Dalton and proud of my heritage as I am a descendant of Bob Dalton on my grandfather's side and a descendant of John L Sullivan on my grandmother's side and have heard about memories from both sides
My family and I visited this house in 1960. I was 9, and still remember every detail. I was into cops and robbers at that time.
That would be very memorable at that time! Thanks for watching and sharing your memory!
This was a very interesting and historical informative video about the Dalton Gang.I enjoyed the tour of their home, tunnel, and the museum. You really did an awesome job explaining everything to us, Rhett. Also, it was interesting about the cemetery, as well. I've seen your videos about the Daltons, they're great. Take care 🐎
Thank you so much for watching all of the Dalton Videos. I have more to tell on the family and will at some point. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed this video though.
Excellent Job Again...Thanks....
You're welcome my friend. Thank you for watching!
Sure do wish I could teleport over there and visit it! Super cool!
It really was a fascinating place to visit. I'm glad the city decided to purchase the property and preserve it. Thank you for watching Melanie!
Hi Rhett 🙋🏽. This is a awesome video 👍🏽 I love looking at ALL of the furnishings from back than. That's One awesome tunnel. I need one of those ‼️🤣😅😃😆 the house is really cool. Rhett how did the house feel ❓ were there any creepy or weird feeling As you walked through it ❓🤔 Kansas is really a beautiful place. I love what I'm seeing.
I didn't feel anything other than the low clearance when I hit my head!😁 I really enjoyed the way they had it set up in that you had to go thru the tunnel in order to see the house. It was a lot longer than I thought it would be. Thank you for watching!
Sometimes i wish i could time travel back to the 1890s and livre, but then i remember that air conditioning did not yet exist then and I suddenly not so interested in the idea
Very fascinating, Thank you for the story/history.
You're welcome and thank you so much for watching!
Imagine finding people using a hidden tunnel entrance inside a house you recently bought. Lawdy! And I thought only fictitious characters like Pugsly Addams did that kind of thing in fictitious TV shows.
It's certainly the type of thing that would probably give you nightmares the rest of your life. The guy was lucky he didn't get shot. Thank you for watching!
Been there several times when i was a kid as a matter of fact almost most of family has too great place to see if on vaction still have a postcard from there love the tunnel escape to cool
I lived in Meade and was privileged to work at the hideout...
Oh how awesome! It would be a great place to work! Thank you got watching Rhonda!
HEY, RHETTY AND Family Hope you all are doing well Yeah I really enjoy all Of the old western towns and the old west attractions you take me to all the videos are all very interesting and give alot of information on how people lived back in the old west
OK take care stay safe and see you on the next adventure
We are doing great and I hope you are as well. I'm glad you are enjoying the old west adventures! I'm certainly not done! Thank you for watching Mark!
The Dalton gang is in my family history. Believe to be some kin.
That is quite a heritage you have then. I've done two other videos on your family and they are also mentioned in another which is the top gunfights of the west. Thank you for watching!
How interesting! But I was a stepchild, so no blood relation
They related to me too. My nannies great cousins.
I remember seeing the signs for the Dalton Hideout but never had time to stop. Thanks for Sharing 🇺🇸
Wasn't this the same Dalton gang that was affiliated with Bill Doolin? Also great video as always man.
Thank you and I appreciate you watching and commenting! Yes Bill Doolin was in the Dalton Gang. As the story goes he was supposed to go to Coffeyville with the gang but had a bad feeling about it. It's been stated that he had a problem with his horse but he could have stated that just to get out of it. He was supposedly very vocal about that Coffeyville trip being a bad idea. Afterwards he formed his own gang known as the Wild Bunch. One of the Daltons who was not in Coffeyville joined the gang. That was Bill Dalton. Those two are the ones that inspired The Eagles album Desperado and more specifically the Doolin Dalton song.
@@RhettyforHistory He dodged several bullets by not going to Coffeyville. Also love how the Doolin/Dalton gang connects to the Three Gaurdsmen.
Yes he did. Those are all big names in Oklahoma from the outlaws to the lawmen you have mentioned.
My grandmother's brother, Riley Jackson Crane died in that hospital in Ft. Supply in 1956. Fortunately, they brought him home to Mt. Carmel Cemetery in Perry, Ok. where he is buried next to his mother, grandfather and sister (who was my grandmother).
I think he is certainly in a better location where he is in Perry. Thank you for watching and sharing about your great uncle.
As always, an excellent video. Very informative. Would like to just follow you around for about a year. lol
Thank you so much for watching Harry!
The challenging part about names and the spelling and pronunciation is people are from different parts of the world. Ellis Island bookkeeping is the same way and yes then there is human error. I would have never seen this place if you would not have shown it to me! Thank You. Friend
I'm glad you were able to see something new! Thank you so much for watching!
You find some interesting places that are off the beaten path. 😁👍
I certainly try to. This one us out pretty much all by itself. It was a good stop on the way back from Dodge City and both of them are places that I have wanted to go to for a long time. Thank you for watching Paul!
Great vid 👍
Thank you for watching!
I do love western movies since I was a kid I'm 63 now get up every morning to watch some kind of Western series but thank you for your show I really enjoy it getting all this history and thank you for all your hard work continue doing a awesome job and God bless you and your family
I've always loved westerns as well and I think that's what got me into wanted to see and know more of real life outlaws and lawmen. Thank you for watching!
I lived in Meade from age 4 to age 9, we used to go to the museum and play on the grounds. The park on the east side of Meade has the same type of stone walls around it. Probably built around the same time.
I bet you're right on that. The WPA did a lot all over the place. Thank you for watching and sharing more about the town.
My last name is Dalton but no relation to the gang. I grew up in the 60’s & 70’s and kids were always asking me that, today most kids never heard of them.
It's funny how that has changed. I think television and movies have changed though. The genre was much more popular back then. Thank you for watching!
Very interesting . Thanks for the great video
You're welcome and thank you for watching Ruby!
im from brazil and i love your channel with docmentaries like this
Thank you and I'm glad you are enjoying the content. I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Dad used to talk a lot about Bell Star and The Hole I The Wall Gang. They were good to the farmers.
Thank you for watching!
Excellent report ☺️ thanks 👍😊
Thank you so much for watching Philip!
Hello Rhetty, This looks to be a really cool place to stop and check out! Was the Dalton house near town or out in the country back in their day? Did they dig the tunnel before or after they were outlaws? I also wonder if the law ever came looking for them there. Sorry for all the questions but this place really fires my curiosity. Thanks man!
I'm not entirely sure on those questions. The house now is right in town. I'm sure it was slightly out of town when it was built but it's still walking distance to where Whipple's store would have been. As far as the tunnel no one really knows. If the law knew about it then they probably would have staked it out more. It was pretty secret when the Whipple family was there. Thank you for watching!
Great video !!
Another great video, thank you! I would have a claustrophobic time walking through that tunnel, having to crawl would be my idea of a nightmare.
It's actually nice to walk thru there being clean with enough room to walk plus lighting. I can't imaging having to crawl thru that on dirt in the dark. Thank you for watching Jared!
Cool!😎
I can't watch it right now but I will a little later. Looks interesting.
I hope you enjoy it and I appreciate you watching!
PEOPLE AND HOUSES WERE SMALLER BACK THEN.
ENJOYED, EXCEPT ALL THE ADS.
I don't control what ads are played but they help support the channel and keep it going. Thank you for watching!
I wonder if the tunnel was for accessing the barn during winter snow?? The son would be sent through.
Very cool place! 😊
Thank you for watching Retha!
They are my nannies who is my great grandmother they were her great cousins . This is cool to see.
That is quite the relation. Thank you for watching!
Not 100% sure, I have never researched this, but It's my understanding from what I've been told, but my step father was somehow related to the Dalton brothers. Us kids were told to never speak of it. And we didn't.
That's interesting. It's quite a large family I know. Thank you for watching!
The If so, We are related
Another great bit of history shown Rhatty Thankyou very much loved it
I'm happy you enjoyed it and thank you for watching Lindsay!
Another awesome video Rhetty .Sad note o n our mental health system not much has changed
It has certainly gotten better but still needs some improvement. Thank you for watching!
It's kind of funny, it seems no one could get his name right. His stone say's, Charles V. Calton, news paper say's Charles B. Dalton. Great video, I have been riding around Fort Supply, but didn't know about the cemetery at the time. That's been over 40 years ago. Enjoyed the tour of homes, and tunnel of the Dalton's. Thanks Rhetty.
My pleasure and thank you for watching! There are a lot of misspellings in that cemetery. Some markers may have the date of birth wrong or just a name or number. Memorializing the patients wad not a high priority for the hospital. It's really not uncommon for any hospital cemetery like that.
I have friends up in freedom okla. They have and old dalton gang hide out on their property, they used to take us there when we were there
Rhetty, Don't go knockin those snakes now. Rattle snake is a fine meal.
I leave that for you. I tried it but not impressed. I'm not a fan of any snake.
@@RhettyforHistory, Perhaps it was not cooked the right way. LOL
Oh no it wad but I'm not a fan. I'm not really a fan of turtle either.
Great video, always love a bit of Dalton gang history
Thank you for watching Lee
Very Interesting, I Love the Cutte Yellow House..
They have really done a great job in maintaining this little house. There isn't much in the way of Meade, Kansas so they are certainly dependent on people visiting to fund that. Thank you for watching!
Cool Museum! You were brave to go out in that overgrown cemetery!
I didn't want to go too far because I have definitely seen rattlers in there and that was when the grass was short.
My husband work with descendants of the Dalton. James, and Younger.
That's pretty interesting. Thank you for watching and sharing that.
The tunnel would make a very fine storm shelter.
Yes it would and I thought the same exact thing. Thank you for watching Linda!
@@RhettyforHistory Great minds think alike LOL.
Yes they do!
very nice documentary. wonderfull
Thank you and I appreciate you watching!
Good I am only 4’11”, so I ll pass. Love old homes with the big windows for allowing air to circulate. Old wall paper was toxic.
Thank you for watching! Was it the adhesive that was toxic or possibly lead in the coloring or paper?
@@RhettyforHistory I think both were. My pleasure
It makes sense but I never thought about it. I know the old parts had lead in them.
My family dating back to my great, great grandparents are from Coffeyville, KS. I grew up hearing all the stories about the Daltons and have visited the museum in Garden City.
At the time that I’m watching this there are 505 likes and 3 dislikes. I think you do a fine job of showing history in each of your videos. Don’t let the negatives (even though they are few) get you down. I think some people just try to tear others down every minute of everyday.
You're right about the fact that some people just want to be negative and bring others down. What they don't realize is that the thumbs down and even clicking on the video to watch actually help me out! If they really want to hurt the channel then they just shouldn't watch. So since they did watch even if a little and they clicked dislike I would like to thank them for the help! I really appreciate you watching and giving positive words!
I'm going to have to visit Meade KS
It's definitely worth a visit if you get the chance! Thank you for watching Kirk!
You're most welcome I'm sure.
Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome and thank you for watching!
Yes really enjoyed this history lesson. The tunnel was amazing and the whole place was great to see
Thank you for watching Sally and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Another great video,,Thank you!
My pleasure and thank you for watching Victoria!
I live in the town they tried robbing the 2 banks
I did not know that. I tried asking the historical society and they said that they never did anything in town but towns away they did.
My last name is Dalton I go by and McKee my brother has told me that we are descendants of the Dalton Gang I would love to find out it would be so cool my father's last name is Dalton my mother's maiden name is Mickey
Oh wow... it's change so much since last time I was there (could barely get through it) and the walls were just dirt...
Hey Rhett, nice hideout. Park your horse in the barn. Walk through the tunnel and sit yourself down to dinner. Nice.
You'd love the Robbers' Roost hideout where Butch Cassidy and the Sun Dance Kid gang hung out along with the Wild Bunch and other outlaws frequented what was known as The Outlaw Trail.
Robbers' Roost near the Southeast corner of Utah on the mouth of the Dirty Devil river.
Look up Robbers' Roost trail in Utah.
I would love to visit that area and do some stories on him. I have just barely been in Utah so it's time I go back and cover some of those. Thank you for watching!
So sad to see the cemetery overgrown..
I guess those poor people were just "out of sight, out of mind" to their families once they were admitted
to the hospital..
My great grandpa told me his great uncle was a brother of these guys and how my family got the Dollar last name...
Another great video Rhetty I never knew much about the Dalton gang until I watched about a 45 minute or hour long video on the history Channel about 10 years ago. I would like to go to Coffeyville myself someday.
Coffeyville is a great place to visit. They have embraced the history in town as well as in the cemetery. I really enjoyed going there. Thank you for watching!
I VISITED THIS ON MY ROAD TRIP VERY COOL
It is a great little place to stop! Thank you for watching!
Thank you. Enjoyed this.
You're welcome and thank you for watching!
Thank you so much for this lovely video and history lesson. I have really enjoyed this wonderful video !!😀♥️🇺🇸
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the video and I appreciate you watching Retha!
sign on wall said 'horse hair BRIDAL' instead of " bridle "
Great content as always Rhetty !
Thank you and I appreciate you watching!
Wow looks like they would’ve been pretty short 😂 great video like always Rhetty!
They must have been. Definitely a low clearance in areas. Thank you for watching!
My question is could they of hid their loot anywhere other than Onion creek in Coffeyville? Where else in the State of Kansas? The $20 grand they stole from the banks do you think someone else found the location??? I just wished that the legend of these guys hidden loot would end soo you'd atleast know where it was or where it went to if someone else dug it up and found it.
From what I heard from Coffeyville themselves the money was pretty well all recovered except $20 or some amount.
I feeel so sorry for you Rhetty you must have had a whopping headache.
It did give me a pretty good one. Thank you for watching Janis!
I'm going to have to visit Meade KS
It's certainly worth a visit if you get the chance! Thank you for watching!
@@RhettyforHistory It is my pleasure, my friend. Your videos are always enjoyable and a pleasure to watch.
@@RhettyforHistory Oh if you need a wireless adapter Amazon screwed up and sent me an extra and said "Keep it"
I appreciate it but don't really need one. Sounds like you made out good on that though!
@@RhettyforHistory Yep, but it will take a while to get to using it, so if you do just Hollar..it will be here and it is a nice one. It can do the max speed on both bands even gaming
Did anyone notice the orb top left when he walked into the bathroom of the 2nd white house? Start at the end of 13:38 into 13:49 then zips off to the right. It's just above the white and pink towel hanging up.
I think that is just the light on the lens.
That's freckin' sweet. Thanks for another great video.
You're welcome my friend. Thank you for watching!
I really enjoyed this one. I drive a semi and have been driving though many times. No way I could park but always wanted to see this.
Yeah there is really no place for you to park. Thank you for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I bet if you stopped at the chuckwagon probably you could find a local that'd haul you over there
What a nice little tour, thanks Rhetty.
The tunnel was amazing, it looked very narrow. Lucky no one was coming from the other direction, don’t think you could of squeezed past each other. Imagine finding out you had a tunnel, because a cowboy 🤠 come through into your house. ❤️🇦🇺
I can't imagine some stranger popping in your house that way. It might give you nightmares forever. It is pretty narrow and I got lucky with the filming because there were quite a few visitors there. Thank you for watching!
@@RhettyforHistory thanks for the tour. 😀
My pleasure!
We did the tour which was told differently. We were told by a lady in the gift shop that happens with whoever tells the story on the tour. It is really neat to see tho.
I'm sure it was probably the same lady. An older lady who was from Coffeyville but married a man there. Her husband works at the museum in town.
Was there in the late 80s. Really neat place.
Looks like it was probably a white house when you were there? Thank you for watching!
@@RhettyforHistory I don’t recall. It was closed and we just walked up and read the sign that was up on it. Stuck in my mind how clever it was to have a tunnel so you could escape.
It is clever. From what I understand they hid out in the tunnel when the local law came. It's a neat little place to visit.
My Uncle's Aunt was married to one of the Dalton Gang.
Do you you happen to know which one?
Very interesting video!
I love cookies!
Thanks for watching!
Just curious though. How would you not know theres a tunnel?
Was that a flat floor over it?
Yes the tunnel was a low lying tunnel that you would have had to crawl through. The entrance would have been a tiny hole in the floor of the closet and not a staircase. I'm sure the hole in the barn would have been much more discreet as well. Thank you for watching!
@@RhettyforHistory ahh gotcha!
Wow that would of been creepy to hear.
Honey do you hear something?
Sounds like a person is under our closet.
I actually watched a couple of your vids to help me solve red dead Redemption.
Lol!
In the game I found an old place that had a chicken coop like object but it has a small er hole towards the top of it. But obviously not a chicken coop
Turns out it's an indian spirit box.
And everything in this game is based off real life happenings. So its alot of research to solve mysteries lol.
I also found a indian burial ground with a set of beds up about 8 ft in this game.
So we have been doing alot of research lol
As the story goes it freaked the family out because they didn't know about it.
Awesome video. 👌 so much history that I would not know or see where they lived if it was not for you. Thanks for all the work you put into these intetesting video's.
You're welcome and thank you for watching! I'm glad I'm introducing you to some new places!
Me too love history watch history Channel almost everyday.
I'm right there with you!
