The McKinley Library seems pretty interesting. I always wondered why they called them libraries. Love how you find amazing things along the way Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤
Hi Debbie! I work at the McKinley Library and Museum. It is a wonderful place! Presidential Libraries all contain documents related to that President and other history. Our presidential library is unique because it also contains a science center. William McKinley was a big advocate of education, so that is why a science center was added. We also have a planetarium!
I grew up in Canton, Mother Gooseland & Meyers Lake Park were wonderful places back in the days when I was growing up! Really miss them The McKinley Museum is another gem! My sister works there & she said she got to meet you! Enjoy your travels!
Awww you writing the postcard to Jenn melted my heart 🥰 so cute! ❤️ I enjoyed seeing the cherry pie with ice cream washed down with tasty cola! I could almost taste it 😍 Your videos are thoroughly enjoyable and always brighten my day. Thanks so much Jacob! Best wishes and safe travels ☀️
I enjoyed the video. I plan on following your progress and watching your videos each day. I like the idea of taking your time and seeing all the sites along the way.
Really enjoying your drive on the Lincoln Hwy and all stops. In 1973 I drove from NJ to CA on the Rt 66 trek and stayed exclusively at Travel Lodges and they were great.
When you get to Fort Wayne, IN you'll have a decision to make. The Lincoln Highway splits into two different alignments here: the original 1913 alignment takes a northerly route through Goshen, Elkhart, and South Bend, while the 1928 alignment takes a southerly route through Columbia City, Warsaw, and Plymouth. The 1913 route goes through more populated cities with bigger downtown areas, while the 1928 route goes through more quiet, rural areas. Both are enjoyable in their own ways. Either alignment you take, you will end up in Valparaiso, where I live! If you're hungry when you pass through, there are plenty of good restaurants in the downtown area. Not a whole lot of Lincoln Highway stuff to see though, admittedly. Enjoy your trip!
Welcome to my hometown! I missed this posting somewhere, damned YT algorithm! I watched a bit of catchup on your live stream post-car in Cleveland tonight and realized you had came here and I missed it! I feel like a bad fan!
The tea cup as you called it is a lovely "ride" where you hit the button, pull yourself around in circles like silly then wait for the power to reset and do it again. That's why there was the issue with it when you tried. The vacuum cleaner chair, aka Hoover, was placed there because the Hoover Company was founded here in Stark County/Canton/North Canton and manufacturered their vacuums and other products for decades funding the exhibit in the museum. I'm surprised you didn't mention the pendulum clock at the front door. It's one of my mid-list favorite things in the museum. My favorite thing IS the tea cup. The second is the general store in the Street of Shops. If anyone does make it to Canton and wants to visit the monument sans stairs, there's a back access road for people that can't make it up the stairs. Don't feel back, Jacob. I've been here 54 years and never had been able to the "Rocky thing" with the stairs. There hasn't been many Canton kids though that haven't used the sides as slides though! :D Tradition. William and Ida's two daughters are also buried in the mausoleum with their parents. There are a lot of things that you just have to come to see; beyond the dinosaurs are so many scientific things on the back section of the basement, there's a planetarium that has a theater just between the two upper floors, and there's a tomb stone in the cemetery snuggled against the monument that has Frankenstein buried there! Comments, don't believe me? Google it! :D As for Mother Gooseland, Willie/Willy was a display in a pond with seal around him. There were aquariums inside him. His paint job was simple, a powder blue pleasant paint was soothing and his eye was just a white O and a black o. This new paint job drives the freaking hell out of me. The mural and the "improved paint job" happened when they dredged his pond and improved the park. The issue with the pond is that the creek behind Willy tends to overflow it's banks and backwash into the pond so no matter how hard the parks department tries to tidy it, it ends up looking like a swamp. Many years ago, the city bricked up the inside of Willy's mouth to prevent people from entering, but afterwhile, the bricks went away. Not sure what prompted either decision, but I can guess. Hopefully you can come back and look at the rest of what Canton has to offer. There are a LOT of things--ESPECIALLY in late September and October for the Haunted Factory! :D
It was cool to see McKinley's tomb. I have been to Lincoln and Grant's tomb. I hope I can visit more presidential tombs in the future. I hope you have a safe trip and make it all the way to San Fransisco.
That Laughing Sal is named Beulah if I remember correctly. She used to stand outside the Laff in the Dark at Meyer's Lake and scared the crap out of me as a child!
Hey Jacob, if you come through Oklahoma on your way back East, I highly recommend a stop at the Washington Irving Trail Museum near Stillwater. It's right up your alley! Lots of interesting and strange artifacts.
Looking forward to when you get to Iowa. That is where I live. Should be much different than your last visit in winter, lol. I still respect you for having done that. Not many do,
I've lived here for 25yrs and never been to any of these places, lol. Now I have been to mother goose land a few times over the years but none of the mckinley stuff. I can't count the times I've been a foot away but never gone in. I guess I have to go now. Great video, thanks for the introduction to stuff I overlooked.
Jacob I know a place you will enjoy! It is a little off of lincoln highway but worth a visit. It is a wrestling themed hotdogs place in marshalltown iowa! The dogs are great and they have wrestling names and interesting ingredients. It is called The Flying Elbow!
Official driving ages vary by state and over time.The rules were not set when the car was invented. Sometimes, 12 year olds have been allowed to drive. That may still be on the books in some areas.
The Lincoln highway used to go through Stockton, CA before it was reoriented north with the I 80…Stockton has a storybook park called Pixie Woods that would be awesome to get The Carpetbagger treatment.
At the bar scene on the street of shops on the Ohio McKinley Museum the card game set up on the table was called cribbage, as you can see from the wooden cribbage board on the table with the pegs in it with the cards, a game my Grandparents taught us kids back in the 1960's, fyi.
Jacob!! I have some ideas for future road trips! For a longer one, you could do Highway 61 (known as the Blues Highway) and for a shorter one, you could do the Natchez Trace!
This McKinley Presidential Library and Museum has been well-funded with exceptional exhibits and facilities. Then you go to places like that former park with the whale and wonder how many homeless might have been living there.
24:53 The colorful set of tubes is also a xylophone-like percussion instrument. The longer the tube, the lower the note and vice versa. It's a shame that has fallen into disrepair b/c that would be a colorful, fun thing to play music on., although you'd have to have the right kind of mallet to get a good sound.
Been playing catch up a binge watching, I love your road tours they are great ! Keep up 5he great work! Oh that diner you had the cherry pie and vintage cola, reminded me of the movie Road to Perdition where Tom Hanks pulls into this diner. The diner looks like it's in the middle of nowhere. But, any who keep up t he great vid3os
Love your videos. Can't wait for them to come out. You take us places most of us will never get to see. Great choice for t-shirt on this one. lol I am from Minnesota. Have you done the Lewis and Clark Trail? Medora is amazing. I am new to your channel so sorry if you have. Still getting caught up on videos. House on the Rock is my favorite. Would love to go there.
I went to Mother Goose Land as a child. Loved it! It had a big shoe for the little old lady that you could climb around in. A sliding board themed to a giant piece of cheese for the 3 blind mice. And of course Willy! Thanks Jacob 😃
So cool thing. There is a statue of McKinley that came from a city in my county of Humboldt in California. It is the reason why the town I live in was named after him in tribute,McKinleyville. BTW that whale has definitely seen things that would pucker your butt.🤣
Loved the Museums, the whole Toad thing was a storybook long before the ride or Cartoon existed called Wind in the Willows and I think is even Public domain now. If you liked Ribbon I reccomend a brand called Fentimans, it's UK based but they make a Cola like that with a Cherry variant and a whole host of other vintag style drinks, their most famous being Ginger beer.
Well, this area is so cool! It has interesting museums and stuff. I like the McKinley Library and Museum for sure. I love history. It’s so interesting to me. And I like science too. Dinosaurs are definitely cool. McKinley loved kids and he loved science. That’s probably why he has a dinosaur in his museum. That little ecosystem is cool too. Poor Willy the Whale. He has people who are destroying his mouth. I bet it hurts him. At least they have a mural left. Well, thanks for sharing! Have a great day!
When you get to the Salt Lake City area you should check out antelope island also if you want a great place to go for breakfast go to sills cafe and be sure to get the scones. Have a safe trip 😊
You didn’t stop at the Tea Pot in Chester WV! But the detour probably took you a different way. Stay safe Carpetbagger! Missed you again, right in my backyard 😩
Every abandoned place Jacob comes across has a can of beans. 😂. He never disappoints.
I feel asleep and when I woke up you where in Georgetown Kentucky looking at a animatronic black bird that didn't work
At 1:19 for a split second i was confused because he said "so please, lets check this out!" instead of "so please, follow me" (then he said it) haha
Come to Kentucky!! Lincoln was born here!!
TCB getting emotional seeing abandoned roadside figures makes me want to cry myself 😢 Poor Ole Willy the Whale 🐳
No way! You're literally in my backyard! I live in Akron and you're stopping by Canton. That's incredible!!!
Well "literally" in your backyard would be him standing in your actual backyard but I understand.

Aren't the glassmen from Canton? Or the bluecoats?

Having a blast Jacob !!!! Btw...I learn sooo much from you. 😉✌️❤️🙂 safe travels my friend.
You are so entertaining and cool😎 Thanks for all you give!!!
I like that you are able to take your time and show the roadside attractions. TY, another great video Jacob.
Enjoyed the McKinley Library Jacob, shame Jenn’s not with you, those were some dodgy looking bed sheets Jacob, brown, and shiny 😳😬😳
Poor Willie the whale has gone to drugs.

This is kewl! I feel like I'm in the front seat with you on this trip 🤘
Glad to see you are up the road from me. Hope you are enjoying your time here
That stretch through Wyoming is also referred to I-80 and it's super dangerous.
Lots of deer there if I remember. I drove through it at night (very slowly)
@@allensherrill850 exactly 💯
Your road trips are truly inspirational! Thank you for sharing another awesome adventure
Awww, you writing that postcard to Jenn was so cute! ❤️ I've recently received my 2nd patreon postcard from you, all the way over here in the UK!
glad to see you are enjoying your self in my homestate
i did have the chance to see the ship hotel a few times before it brunt
Willy has seen some stuff that no one should see lol
Hello CB. Love your channel keep up the good work.
Jake is having soo much fun in those small town museums. I would be there if I was in the area. Have fun Jake!
That Laughing Sal is named Beulah if I remember correctly. She used to stand outside the Laff in the Dark at Meyer's Lake and scared the crap out of me as a child!
Another great video. Looking forward to tomorrow.
Thanks!
I trip to see all the presidential libraries would be fun
Carpetbagger needs to run for president
Hotel rooms are more expensive than they normally would be, that figures. Same could be said for literally everything nowadays lol.
Thanks Jacob!
Can we get confirmation when Jenn gets the postcard? Hope to see more of her, love seeing you two together.
I know. . .she's hilarious! So happy for jacob.
Truly a beautiful & wonderful women!
Didn't know this existed. And your coming right thur iowa!
Smoking Willie!,😂. Entertaining video.
You can feel the burn
Lol, I was so confused when you showed the dinosaurs! I was thinking, wait, didn't he just say he was in a Presidential library?
You are in my neighborhood!!! Safe travels!!!
Thank you so much for always taking everyone on your road trips. ❤ You are doing awesome work 👏 I appreciate all you do.
Hey Jacob, if you come through Oklahoma on your way back East, I highly recommend a stop at the Washington Irving Trail Museum near Stillwater. It's right up your alley! Lots of interesting and strange artifacts.
I roared with laughter at the teacup/ball bearing segment. You are so entertaining.
Love the motel room reveals, perfect end to an interesting day
Looking forward to when you get to Iowa. That is where I live. Should be much different than your last visit in winter, lol. I still respect you for having done that. Not many do,
My husband is from Canton OH and I've been there to the McKinley library. I've been to the monument too. I slid down the sides. It's normal.
I'm 58 an still Rember mother goose land. it was fun back in the day.
Hey Jac, you missed shanksville flight 93 on your way by to ohio.
I've lived here for 25yrs and never been to any of these places, lol. Now I have been to mother goose land a few times over the years but none of the mckinley stuff.

Epic
I've been to the Eisenhower and Kennedy Presidential Libraries.

@@angela1la3guera Don't worry, if underage drivers got hurt, there was always gin and cocaine-based painkiller solutions available 😂
When you get to Iowa stop in west branch for the Herbert Hoover historic site
The Lincoln highway used to go through Stockton, CA before it was reoriented north with the I 80…Stockton has a storybook park called Pixie Woods that would be awesome to get The Carpetbagger treatment.
Willy the Whale.....instant classic Carpetbagger moment
Looks like you will be going by my house in Valparaiso Indiana.
I was born and raised in Latrobe PA. That was awesome to watch. Thanks
I am originally from Greensburg.
Always fun being a passenger with The Carpetbagger! Happy Travels! Be Well Be Safe & Stay Blessed.

Willy has seem things man just look at those eyes 👀
Abandoned videos from Jacob, Oh how I've missed thee.
Was wondering when you'd go to my hometown ❤️
we had the Disney Channel and I remember looking in the magazine every month to see if they put my favorite movies on. The good old days.
Mural Willy looks like what I imagine the people that hang out in the actual Willy look like.

This is amazing
always love when jacob do room review lol
Awesome 😎
Love it 💞
I’m a canton local and we would go speak down the McKinley monument hill when it would snow a lot
Really enjoying this journey!!
It's not good for a whale's digestive system- jacob the carpetbagger summer 2022
