    The school that is at Knotts berry farm in Buena Park California...was originally in the city I live in...Pico Rivera California...
    Was named Maizeland school...as a kid, we used to pass by the old school often, to go to the old town store, which, unfortunately has been torn down.
    But I'm left with good memories.

    Fascinating discovery! I’m amazed they allow you hands on access to all the relics. Oh, the glass top coffin served two purposes. First, to view the deceased. And secondly, to make sure the individual was indeed dead. If they were comatose their breathing would fog up the glass. Very interesting video. Thanks you two!

    The Mock Frontier Town reminded me that when I did solo route 66 trip during the pandemic, I stopped in Red Oak II Missouri. It is a replica of 1930 town Red Oak that was built in 1987. I really enjoyed walking through the town. I felt like I was in the 1991 movie Fried Green Tomatoes with Kathy Bates.

It's not on our path to the Farmstead in North Dakota, & we're always in a hurry to get there & spend as much time as possible before getting back to California, but I would sure love to spend all day at Dobby's. ---The La Purisima Mission here outside of town also holds historical tours with the 5th graders(?) from all the region. I'm impressed that the grade schoolers get a real taste of American history at Dobby's.

    This is a fun and interesting place. Stumbling on these little “finds” while road tripping is refreshing. These old gentlemen are a hoot! I can understand why it is taking them years to build a livery stable. since it is free and they operate on donations it seems that someone would organize a group to donate their time.

    Most historic places don't let you actually go inside the buildings and touch things. This was pretty cool. Thanks for sharing this little discovery with us.

    That was a fun video. Sarah ringing the bell reminded me that this summer, my daughter and I went up to Old Town in Santa Fe and did the tourist thing. There is a church called the San Miguel chapel that has the bell inside. The sign out front had on it that it is the oldest Catholic church in the U.S. The docent handed my daughter the hammer and said to ring it. She did it very softly and the docent said to hit it harder. By then a group of people had come in and were snapping pictures of her ringing the bell. She was embarrassed, but was a good sport about it. It was a fun day. My family and I are from NM and have been there several times, but it's still fun.

    This was interesting. Some of the things that you saw and touched were really old. You both were pretty freaked out when you went into the Funeral Home. I laughed! It is great when older people back in the day, would go to all of the trouble of finding and building these types of locations. We are fortunate to be able to still to go see them. If you remember that in the movie, "Silverado" with Kevin Costner, the jail cell that they had him in was also a flat bar type of cell. Remember how Costner's character was hanging and swinging around on the overhead portion. When I saw the jail cell in your video I immediately went and watched some of "Silverado" to confirm the cell in the movie was made from the same type of flat steel. I really enjoyed this show and am glad that you and Sarah had stopped and checked it out. Thanks for doing that and then showing us. Howdy from Texas!!
