I'm going to be in the Belhaven area on business soon-enough, but, after hearing how few visitors they get, I might have to stop by. Great vid. Made me want to see more.
1 too 2 visitors a week is so sad. Even if there was just 1 thing you wanted to see it would be worth the visit if you lived close by. As for the corn cob in the box with the glass front, as a kid I remember seeing these in lots of bathrooms as joke. We all know where your supposed to put the corn cob but I never could figuar out why they thought that would help or why its funny .
When you said "theres miss wey right there" and the lady started talking I was so scared. Then "eureka I found it" I was like holy crap... I need to stop watching in the dark... alone 😂
Omg! Did you actually poop yourself baby girl? Out of fear? I know I did! I was so scared! I squirted liquid poo all in my man panties..."manties" if you will
It is. But that one was not a necklace. It would be hung on the wall. They did sometimes put locks of departed loved ones into a necklace, or even a belt buckle. At a time when pictures were expensive and difficult to obtain (this was also the reason for Victorian death photography, as it was oftentimes the only picture people ever had, of their loved ones), it was a way of visually remembering the loved one. Okay, Nerd out. Lol.
Belhaven is the town I grew up in. I can't believe you were there man. That's awesome. Too bad you didn't go down the road about 30 minutes to Bath, NC. They have a museum there with a lot of relics from Blackbeard the Pirate.
This was such a great vlog, I am from Western Australia Perth and we need more museums like this . Thank you for the time and energy you put in Jacob, And a big hello to, your lovely wife and daughter. Your daughter is such a beautiful girl , i really enjoy that you include your family on your travels . Take care Jacob and family .
You are correct sir. When I was a child some 60 years ago, my grandparents had a cabin in the woods that was situated on a lake that we would spend weekends fishing there. With no indoor plumbing they had an outhouse and it was always equipped with either corn cobs or the Sears catalog. Kids think they got it rough now when they have no "bars" or phone chargers.
Thankyou so much for this Jacob. I love museums. In 1999 we took our kids around Australia for 5 months. I dragged my poor family through every museum we came across. If it wasnt for you, l would never see these little gems in America. Thanks again hun, lm grateful to you xx
If you come to the UK I think you would love Horniman’s museum. It’s just outside London, Forest Hill. The Victorian gentleman had to buy another house to live in because of his obsessive collecting. Items are still being discovered at the museum. In the 90’s an entire glass and iron gazebo was discovered flat packed. It has been put together and now hosts weddings and social events at the museum. They have a web site if you are interested.
@@RebelRed Yeah! Has it settled into it's new home? I saw that some things have gone to the British Museum but I didn't get the dates or if the entire collection will be reunited, or if it already has. (got sidetracked)
Great job Jacob. I’m sure more people will come visit this amazing museum after your recommendation. My prayers and best wishes go to the strong spirited people of the Carolinas.
I’ve been here a few times and I can see it needs to be better taken care of. Not to knock the staff or town but I wish I lived closer to redo a lot of the info cards, dust and try to preserve some of the items better. I love going there. :). I was shocked to see it as a suggestion when I came on fb today. Thanks for the video!
YOU had no idea roadside attractions were even a thing...?! That is HARD to imagine... 😮 I always share your videos on my Facebook, but on this one I'm going to leave a specific note to check out this museum; it deserves more visitors. 👍
All I could think about when you showed the jar of tiny snakes and the canned fish was what if those fell and broke? Wouldn't that just be awful? Getting that stink and slime all over you? Blech!
Please keep these great videos coming, I hope that one day I will drive around the country, seeing these unique attractions in person. Thank you Carpetbagger, I love watching your videos keep up the great work.
Thanks for going to all these unique, creepy and awesome places. I can’t get out much and I love museums & roadside attractions; I love watching your channel because I can see what the museums/attractions have without having to go there (although I wish I could go there)! Thanks Jacob!
It seems so marked with destiny that your visit there come at that time. It seems significant to you as so much time, success and strife has passed since you first wanted to go as well as for them since they appreciated such an unexpected and special visitor when it might have seemed easier to just not bother opening that difficult day. So interesting.
I have had such a good time binge watching all your videos the last couple days. I love your unique style. I was going to put this on another video, but it just wasn't appropriate on that one.
@@ayajade6683 I know the differences. Caskets are run of the mill, simple rectangles containing 6 sides. Coffins are closer to the shape of a body requiring 8 sides. 6 sides and 8 sides is the easiest and most common way they are classified and built. I watch her all the time, I have family in texas near her funeral home.
There are lots of antique shops in my town. with strange little trinkets like the things in the vid. Especially old saws used for felling trees. (Snohomish is an old logging town) I’ve even spotted some antique prosthetic legs. I think you’d enjoy it. It’s known as the antique capital of the Pacific Northwest!
This museum is a labor of love and never will make a lot of money. I hope it stays open and makes enough to survive. It is tough to prosper in a highly competitive world. Best wishes to them..
Yay!! I spent every summer in belhaven growing up . my grandma took me there several times. It is very strange! Glad to see you went somewhere i spent every summer.
Cool grandma! Mine lived nearby too, but if she was aware of this museum, she never told us. It wouldn't have been her thing. We went to the fossil festival and museum in Aurora a few times though. Not as cool.
Hey Jake!! You come up with the very coolest places!! At--8:35-- the chicken red glasses were put on the chickens so they could not see blood, that's what they were really for, and basically to help keep them from fighting. 😁
Great video. One thing the museum got wrong was the chicken glasses. It was invited to stop chickens from eating one another when one was injured. never heard of anyplace having one. One hell of a collection.
Wow I wrote my comment at the beginning. It is sad because when the decent people like that lady that are happy to donate their time and care are gone so to will be so much history. Keep up that good work Mr bagger. 👍🖐🇦🇺
1-2 visitors/week is sad for sure but not surprising. Obviously there’s more than one of these kind of museums in the country, come up to the Maryhill Museum in Goldendale,WA.sometime, not only does it have interesting artifacts and collections but it’s also haunted.
i would kill to go to all these museums with you! my family never wants to stop at any of them when we go on read trips! i missed so much cool stuff driving from my home in illinois all the way to Key largo florida!
I will visit when I am on that side of the state again! Awesome spot! I am going on a one week road trip, leaving from Western NC, and I would love some suggestions for some cool places to stop and see and great places to eat as well! Thanks!
www.atlasobscura.com/things-to-do/north-carolina/outsider-art Also the Elsewhere Museum in Greensboro. www.goelsewhere.org/museum/visit/ Their site doesn't do it much justice.
I love you. I hope you are still sailing the highways for amazing delights to be charmed by or grossed out by. I tend to gravitate toward the macabre and the gothic myself.Anything unusual in treatments, or preservation of bodies. I'd love t see an early autopsy kit.I hope you're still going strong!
The corn cob in the box with a glass front would be placed in your modern bathroom as a joke from days gone by. Back in the day people had outhouses and no toilet paper. So they used dried corn cobs after the kernels were removed and processed into feed. Kind of makes two-ply look heaven-sent.
After a short Google search, it looks like this place is still open. Thankfully. I have to add this to my visit list the next time in NC. Wish it was something we could do to get this place more visitors.
its a wonder the canned foods haven't ruined by now, some of them still look good but I would be afraid to try them ....love ur videos and travels, I'm always learning something new, Thanks for all U do
9:37 you break the glass for the corn cob in case you run out of toilet paper/newspaper in the out house. They back in the day used corn cob's as toilet paper.
Nice museum, so sad that they don't get more people coming in...hopefully this vlog will help them. Wish I lived closer, I love places like that.
I from NC...kinda getting the heebie jeebies from most of this stuff, I think it's super cool though.
There was a flood so not that many people came
My favorite part is when the woman in the background goes "Eureka, i found it!"
Time stamp?
8:52
Stop
jill cheshire ?
viola carpender I got a fright. I was too busy concentrating on the antiques😂
I really like how the curators of these local museums are so helpful to you!

Robothut it’s cause back then the used corn cobs too wipe
It is funny who do u know that still uses them to wipe their butts with them so yeah it is funny .
I can honestly say I live in Belhaven and have never been in there, been meaning to
Cuz the place just isn't interesting
True, but how do you guys not know the difference between “to” and “too” lol
When you said "theres miss wey right there" and the lady started talking I was so scared. Then "eureka I found it" I was like holy crap... I need to stop watching in the dark... alone 😂

Deej Price literally what is your comment 😭
@@saanvidawnvi7737 I'm still not sure
@@saanvidawnvi7737 he doesn't have anything to say so he's just trying to shock for attention.
Deej Price wtf is ur comment
Very cool museum with a lot of great oddities. Interesting on the flood water.
A lot of coastal towns have similar flooding during hurricane season. The locals are probably used to it.
The hair necklace is probably a Victorian era funerary thing.
It is. But that one was not a necklace. It would be hung on the wall. They did sometimes put locks of departed loved ones into a necklace, or even a belt buckle. At a time when pictures were expensive and difficult to obtain (this was also the reason for Victorian death photography, as it was oftentimes the only picture people ever had, of their loved ones), it was a way of visually remembering the loved one.
Okay, Nerd out. Lol.
I'd still rather see braided hair than human skin suits. 🙈
It could very well be older than that since it was done for a few centuries. About the 14th to the early 20th
9:45 SomeBODY ONCE TOLD ME... no but seriously I was so disappointed that it wasn't Shrek inside
Museums shall evolve someday, my friend.
The lady behind this collection must've had one heck of a life!
The old lady yelling "eureka!!" Made my heart smile
This man just seems so pure and kind, I love it
This place feels like the years of my childhood spent wandering southern antique shops with my grandmother,Honey. This is a really fantastic place!

People used to use corn cobs for toliet paper i think

Wet specimens. I love taxidermy, but wet specimens are the stuff of nightmares. They look like zombies just waiting to happen!!
Well, if I'm ever in belhaven I'm visiting that museum. Maybe everyday I'm there. Love obscura and curiosities!
I’ve been here a few times and I can see it needs to be better taken care of.

@@RebelRed promising but no 😂
@@marzkell 😂
Rebel Red I’d eat every jar for 100k
I don't think those were tiny snakes as he said. They are tape worms or some other parasite.
@@RebelRed I'd eat everything for the sheer ability to say to everyone that I ate 'Century Tuna' and mean it.
Please keep these great videos coming, I hope that one day I will drive around the country, seeing these unique attractions in person. Thank you Carpetbagger, I love watching your videos keep up the great work.
Good video bro, me and my mom watched it Sunday morning.
Hi Jacob, what an awesome museum, it's not the type of museum you come across everyday and it was just so interesting. Thank you for sharing. x

I just love how casual this place is. The scene where you didn't know if you wandered into a storage area or not was hilarious.

I love the miniatures you went so fast it seemed.
2:36 yall see that flag???... okkkk..
*gags*
childs coffin not casket. coffins have 8 sides including top and bottom caskets have 6
blackwater blades not always! Google it!

Ah yes; Belhaven. My third favourite composer after Boch and Showpan.
Lol....

That was awesome! I love stuff like that . I will put it on my list! Tks, Bagger!
Very Cool...thanks Jacob. I got my 2nd POSTCARD this week! Thanks!!!
Hey check out the wirligigs park in wilson nc. Interesting back story. Think the creator was Volis Simpson.
She's like the weird mix of cute and creepy.
Do one on oregon house of mystery, oregon vortex in gold beach or gold hill oregon, cant remember which one.
Corncobs were actually used in outhouses when the Sears catalog ran out of pages...
This collection seriously needs curated.
I live here ! This is so so cool! If you are ever in eastern nc again let me know there are plenty of places that you have missed!!!
Hey Jake!! You come up with the very coolest places!! At--8:35-- the chicken red glasses were put on the chickens so they could not see blood, that's what they were really for, and basically to help keep them from fighting. 😁
