Happy New Year, Micah! We hope 2024 is going to be an awesome year for You, Abby, and your families! Bummer about the museum being closed, but you made the best of it! It looks like it could be a pretty cool museum!🙂
I was born in Meridian and raised in that area! Went to the Jimmy Rogers festival my entire life. My first job was at the Coca-Cola plant in Meridian. I live in Texas now, but that area will always be home.
Micah, I would like to share this with you. I still have a handful of 45s that were my mother's 45s from the 50s when she was a teenager. I grew up listening to a lot of the music from the 50s, as I was a kid in the 60s. One of the 45s that I still have today is the 45 of Jimmie Rodgers singing the song, Oh Oh I'm Falling In Love Again. How cool is that! One of my grandfather's brothers lived in Meridian until he died. I went out there with my grand parents as a kid in the 60s to visit them and my cousins. Sadly I never went back out there as an adult, so I couldn't tell you anything about which area of Meridian that they lived in. I do know and I remember this, they lived very close to a park that had a carousel in the park and we kids got to ride it. Does that ring a bell for you as to where they may have lived? I also think they lived across the street from a place that had mental patients. Anyway thanks for the video tour about Jimmie Rodgers.
Interesting video. I must admit when I think of Jimmie Rodgers, it’s the guy who sang Honeycomb and Kisses Sweeter than Wine who comes to mind, so thanks for the education.
You should explore the ruins of the old drive-in theater and baseball field on the south side of Meridian. There was a old amusement park there as well. Only thing left is the entrance.
My grandfather and great grandfather were both railroad workers in the 1920's t0 1940's I think they worked with Jimmy Rodgers at the Meridian terminal My parents were born and raised in Meridian also. I still have family there

What a shame... That museum looked so amazing. Well, thank you for taking us to the final resting place of Jimmie Rodgers, and his loved ones.
👏🏻🙏🏻🛣

HAPPY NEW YEAR to you both. Keep up the great videos. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks for sharing Micah! Shame that the museum was not open, hopefully you get to visit it again some day

My parents were also born and raised in Meridian, in the late 1930's and early 1940's
My husband is distantly related to Jimmie and I had no idea he had a museum! Looks like a future road-trip coming soon 😁

Happy New Year!
Micah just saw you last year hope to see more of you this year 😊
There's also a nice stone monument to Jimmy Rodgers in the middle of Highland Park in Meridian. Along with an old railroad steam engine
