    I was born 60 miles north of Seattle, and still love the rain and all the green. However, I transplanted myself to Colorado in 1998, and now consider it to be my home. Both states are excellent places to live. I really love when you take us to museums; keep up the great work!

    Being from Colorado, I can say the state is full of history everywhere! I find it funny that the last object in the museum is the water pipe. pretty much sums it up lol. The humor is 100 percent Colorado as well.

    There are dozens of parks in the U.S. which were built over old cemeteries because it was easier than moving all the bodies.
    Think about that next time you fluff out your blanket on the park grass for a nice little picnic with the fam. 😆

    Thank you so much for filming and sharing. I like what you said, "what a jerk". The photo op with the barrel was funny. I am sure that was difficult being in a barrel and unable to bend. But it was funny to watch. Thank you for leaving that part in. Its awesome that you take part in the exhibits. I love going to Denver for conferences. The blue bear is quite cool to see.

      On June 4th 1919 the first states to ratify the women's right to vote were Wisconsin, Illinois, and Michigan. Illinois placed their vote first but had to redo it. Michigan voted anonymously. Wisconsin was the first vote ratifying the new amendment of the time. So no. Wyoming had nothing to do with introducing womens voting rights. The only additional states on the polls within the first day were Oregon and Washington DC.
