Oh thank you I learn something new each time I watch your videos.we may have things in our history we aren't proud of but it's our history.God Bless the USA.🖒🇺🇸💗
Thank you for wearing a mask despite not wanting to. Modeling positive response to the pandemic is very important. After all, we want you and others at these historic places to stay alive! I'm a loyal watcher and you've helped cement my faith that we will all get through this, but only if we're together in the fight! Be sure to wash your hands! Peace.
Thanx JD. My health isnt good anymore so my traveling days are about over. These tours you do are very helpful, bringing things to me that I cant get to. Great work man. ;-)
I have so MANY artifacts from TN and MS. I love Native American artifacts. Yeah.. Middle is drill. Bone for sewing. Arrowhead shape for cutting or mending to a bone arrow
Before the pandemic, showing up in that mask would make someone think it was a stick up. Loved the museum. Sergeant York the movie is wonderful. York wpuld only allow Gary Cooper to play him and the girl who played his wife had to be a young good girl. Cooper won the Oscar for it.
Glad you talked about my ancestor Sgt York! I read a WW1 book & it didn’t mention him & it made me sad! I grew up just up the hill from his house in Pall mall TN & grew up talking to his Sons. So it made me happy to see you talk about him. His house & farm are a National Park now. They are very cool
@@doughill3396 that’s great to hear! You should go to pall mall soon…. They have made a lot of improvements & made his home & farm a lot more in-depth & accessible in just the last few years
Very interesting and well made video as always. That clacker at 13:56 - when I was living in the UK as a teenager these were known as a football rattle - fans used them to make noise when cheering on their teams. I actually made one in woodworking class when I was around 13. I believe they were banned as they could be used as weapon and in those days "football hooligans" and mass fights were common at games. Interesting that they used them in the trenches...I didn't know that!
Great Visit. Thanks. They have a Music Museum and display of various farm building and the Cabin that Mark Twain and his extended family lived in when he was a boy in Tennessee. Nice people in Tennessee. Good place to visit.
I have never heard about Martin van Buren! And the name sounded really dutch to me... i looked him up. And his familie is dutch! His first language was also dutch! Fun to learn about this! Thanks for sharing! 🙏
I always enjoy your video traveloges so much. Thank you. Seeing the KKK robe brought back a very disturbing memory. I'm 67 now, but when I was 19 and fairly newly married, my ex and I lived just off downtown Dallas, TX. One weekend he went camping with some friends, so I was home alone. About 2:00 AM I woke up to the sound of a repetitive drumbeat and saw a flickering light outside our duplex window. I peeked out and marching down the middle of the street was a KKK clan, beating drums and carrying torches. Other than that it was eerily quiet. The area we lived in was very racially diverse and I can only imagine how frightening it was to some of my neighbors. I'm white, but my parents raised me to understand the evil of slavery, racism and the KKK. To say I was disturbed is definitely an understatement. I wasn't normally afraid of being alone, but I didn't sleep another wink that night.
Appreciate how the curators of the museum accurately refer to him as "David" Crockett. David=The real man is as good as "Davy"=the myth. Thanks for another great video JD
Darn. Almost missed this one. I must be getting old. (I blame everything I do on old age). Museums are great. Every time I see one I have to go in. My next trip is going to be the Civil war museum in Jefferson Barracks, MO.
This is my back yard, how did I not know this was open!?! All the years of taking scouts across our state, did not know about this. We did go to the Alvin York's house and smallish museum. Thanks for sharing, I will have to plan a trip!!
That black with gold buttoned dress coat owned by gidden pillow is absolutely stunning. If only people dressed so amazing today.. tell u right now I ll rather be dressed up in my Sundays finest everyday rather than board shorts. Like my dad always said.... "nothing wrong with taking pride in how you look when you leave the house"
Loved it brother , i am hoping you might do more on Alvin York , as a child i was really interested in him , what a great American story his is . Thank You
I live and am from Nashville. There is also an ancient Egyptian mummy in the museum. Also in addition to mastodons, sabertooth tigers once roamed around here a long time ago, and inspired the Nashville Predators NHL hockey team logo. :)
Love your videos. Places I may never get to but who knows, maybe one day. If not, at least I can pick up some things from your videos. Thank you. Be glad to show you around "enemy territory" here in Canada
@@TheHistoryUnderground Be glad to have you. Have a spare room and car you can use. Don't mind touring in a Corvette would you? If I'm away, the house is yours. The cat will keep an eye on you. (lol)
Since your close by, in Owensboro, Kentucky there is a memorial to the last P.O.W from Vietnam- Col. Charles E. Shelton. One day, I am going to go up there to pay my respects. Another awesome video thank you so much JD.
I am amazed to find someone who views the past as I do. History teaches us about ourselves and forewarning of the results our paths may be. Keep up the good work. Tx.
Be prepared to have the hairs go up on your neck. I'm not a follower of these things but there is a presence at Civil War battle grounds. Ghosts? I don't know but....
Just started watching your videos. Recommended by Sidestep Great videos love traveling and learning with you. Plus you look like a young Gerald McRaney. One of my favorite actors. Thanks again looking forward to bing watching.
Enjoyed the video very much! I do think it's worth mentioning that the clan was/is not exclusive to Southern states. It's diseased ideologies spread to many Northern states, and really all over the country in the 1920s.
Your videos are great! However, linen isn’t made from cotton. It is made from the flax plant. You are correct in saying the slaves were involved in linen production.
Not sure what day you visited the TN State Museum but the siren was probably the monthly test. In Williamson County (Franklin), they test the first Saturday of every month.
I’m not totally sure about this, but I believe Santa Anna’s prosthetic leg was captured by a regiment out of Indiana or Illinois and I believe it is on display in one of those states
Alvin York's Medal of Honor may be at the National Medal of Honor Heritage Center in Chattanooga, TN. I recently visited there and they had several MOHs on display but I can't remember if York's was one of them.
Interesting history note for Tennessee residents . My County of Burke North Carolina was largest in Colonial times reached all the way to Mississippi which is now your state . Daniel Boon started his trek here going thought the west . If fan of show Daniel Boon hear reference Yadkin is River around Sailsbury . NC also were ( Old Hickory ) Andrew Jackson had his Lawyer office which still standing in Salisbury . NC home of Cheerwine first made . Allot history transcended from our states that's so cool . JD we had Civil War training camp near me also used railroad for camp in railroad museum in Morganton . NC in old Southern railway depot there rail called Pearl rail was found kept in museum . History around us if know we're to look .
Would love to see you do a peice on the CCC. You showed a pennant of theirs @ 15:34. That would be awesome for a future video! It's forgotten history unfortunately.
Very cool. If you swing back into Virginia on your quest for American presidents graves, look up camps Roosevelt and Powell's fort camp. One still has buildings to explore, Be it they are run down. But it is still cool to see what these men built with nothing but shovels.
The History Underground Which mask of theirs are you wearing? They have several. Is it denim? Also, have you been to The Hermitage, Andrew Jackson’s home, just outside of Nashville? It’s outstanding. I love going to presidents’ house museums. I was particularly impressed with James Madison’s home in Virginia. It’s not as grand as The Hermitage or Monticello, but the docents’ stories are way better.
JP M - The mask that I have is the Model 4. It’s made from a super light stretchy material. As far as the Hermitage, I’ve got an episode on this channel where I visit there. Had a chance to see some cool behind the scenes stuff.
Andrew Jackson didn't just have a tendency to challenge others to duel, he was known for trying to kill his opponents. In at least one case, he took an improper second shot after misfiring.
Hey man with the pieces of barbed wire. Alot of guys in the trenches use to take these pieces of metal back to their trenches cutoff the actual piece that was used to run barbed wire through then straighten out the piece towards the end they cut leaving the piece that the barbed wire was run through curved like a handle and straighten out the piece the cut into a blade. This was know as a French Nail.
Correction: Cotton becomes cotton cloth. Flax becomes linen cloth. And, the museum's label of "crucifix" was incorrect, it is the 'corpus' from a crucifix.
Wow J.D., you are the luckiest man in the world in my opinion. Idk really but if you actually get paid and make this channel an actual occupation, but if so, this has got to be a wonderful opportunity. I dream of someday walking the beaches of Normandy, the fields of Gettysburg or just being close to Eric dorr and his absolutely wonderful museum. Count this as a blessing,because if you are at all as interested in this type of stuff as me,you are a very blessed individual. I absolutely love it man!
Does your chronic asthma make you more susceptible to illness? I’m just curious. I don’t know anyone close to me with it, so I know next to nothing about it. Be well, my friend. ✌️
JD, Sgt. York's Medal of Honor is back on display at this museum. It gets put on display from time to time at his former residence in Pall Mall, TN.
"Alvin, Maw wants ya" lol. Best movie of it's time. I admire the man and what he did.
Karin 🇺🇸
Oh thank you I learn something new each time I watch your videos.we may have things in our history we aren't proud of but it's our history.God Bless the USA.🖒🇺🇸💗
Thanks! I've learned a lot too while putting them together.
Agreed. Very cool to be learning something new everyday

Yeah, I don't get too spun up about the mask stuff. There are bigger things for me to get worked up about :) Thanks for watching!
Thanx JD. My health isnt good anymore so my traveling days are about over. These tours you do are very helpful, bringing things to me that I cant get to. Great work man. ;-)
That means a lot. So glad that you are enjoying it.
As a Nashville native, I approve this message!
Oh, Man! Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett and Alvin York! Thank you!
All kinds of crazy stuff there.
I have so MANY artifacts from TN and MS.
I love Native American artifacts.
Yeah.. Middle is drill. Bone for sewing. Arrowhead shape for cutting or mending to a bone arrow
Next time you are in the Nashville area you should go to Rock Castle. It is just north of Nashville in Hendersonville.
Hmmm.....I'll have to check that out. Can't say that I know anything about that. Thanks!

Dang. That is awful. Thanks for sharing that.
If u were there on a Wed at 3:30 they test the sirens... in my area of Tennessee anyway. Every Wed at 3:30. Thank you 🙏 for the tour. 🤍
Interesting. Didn't know that.

Thanks 👍🏻
What an interesting museum!! We really enjoyed this !! Thankyou so much 🤩🤩
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks :)

Thanks! Glad that you enjoyed it!
Incredible stuff in there was surprised how much was still around good history lesson.Great video Thankyou
Glad you enjoyed it! Pretty interesting story.
Boone,Jackson, York wow what a great museum. Cool vlog JD 👍🏻😎
Yeah, I was pretty blown away by what all they have in there. Lots of rich history in that state.
Strange times indeed. Mask required. But at least places are opening up so we can experience these great adventures. Thank you.
Agreed.
I agree, I'm in Washington State & we also have the fires, it's horrible!
Darn. Almost missed this one. I must be getting old. (I blame everything I do on old age). Museums are great. Every time I see one I have to go in. My next trip is going to be the Civil war museum in Jefferson Barracks, MO.
That one is one my list as well. Glad that you caught this one :)
I would love to look over Jefferson barracks also, as Ulysses S. Grant served there. Cheers from Australia. 🇦🇺
Nice tour bro! I can't beleive that we did the mask thing. What a time!
This is my back yard, how did I not know this was open!?! All the years of taking scouts across our state, did not know about this. We did go to the Alvin York's house and smallish museum. Thanks for sharing, I will have to plan a trip!!

That covered wagon- I see several at Pendleton Oregon Roundup! (Usually in the Westward Ho Parade !
Loved it brother , i am hoping you might do more on Alvin York , as a child i was really interested in him , what a great American story his is .
Thank You
Yeah, I'm really wanting to do a video that focuses more specifically on him. Quite the guy.
I live and am from Nashville. There is also an ancient Egyptian mummy in the museum. Also in addition to mastodons, sabertooth tigers once roamed around here a long time ago, and inspired the Nashville Predators NHL hockey team logo. :)
Watching from new Zealand so was really interesting for me
Glad that you enjoyed it! Thanks!
I absolutely love this channel! I wish I could travel along with all of you. But then, I guess I already can!
Always enjoy the new videos. I love the "here is a chair"...lol....awesome.
😅
Very cool tour of this museum. Came to you from Robert and side step adventures. Can’t wait to see all your videos.
Awesome! Thank you! Robert has a top notch channel. One of my favorites.
Love your videos. Places I may never get to but who knows, maybe one day. If not, at least I can pick up some things from your videos. Thank you. Be glad to show you around "enemy territory" here in Canada
Ha! Thanks. I'd love to get back up there one of these days.
@@TheHistoryUnderground Be glad to have you. Have a spare room and car you can use. Don't mind touring in a
Corvette would you? If I'm away, the house is yours. The cat will keep an eye on you. (lol)
Amazing museum and tour. You can imagine I love that WWI section, very very awesome
Glad you enjoyed it! Hope to do some more WWI stuff in the future. Preferably in France and Belgium :)
That was cool. Love walking through Museums. Although you did the walking. Thanks for sharing.
So I am watching this while wearing my History Traveler shirt~Am I officially 😎 cool 😎 or what?
Ha! Awesome!
Fascinating place, great video mate. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!

Julie Roberts - Thanks! I’ll need to get over there sometime.
Great video!!! Love all of the videos about the great state of TN!!!
Thanks! Tons of rich history there.
I am amazed to find someone who views the past as I do. History teaches us about ourselves and forewarning of the results our paths may be. Keep up the good work. Tx.
Fantastic video! I would love to see you go through Gettysburg. It's a cool place.
Top Cat - That’s definitely high on the list. I’ve got a bunch of Civil War content coming up soon.

Ahhhhh.......nailed it. Thanks for the info.
Thank you again, sir. The Santana chest rates almost as high as the Cornwallis candle at Old Hickory's Hermitage. Way cool for sure.
Timothy Ogden - Yeah, that was a cool one for sure.
I’m not totally sure about this, but I believe Santa Anna’s prosthetic leg was captured by a regiment out of Indiana or Illinois and I believe it is on display in one of those states

Codi Holst - yup, that’s where it had been sent. And by the time I got to Chattanooga, they had sent it back 🤦🏻♂️
Thank you
My pleasure! Thanks for watching.
Great video would love to see you do Gettysburg and the Alamo
I'm working on that as we speak :)
Education good good! Love it!
Thank you!
Another great video and super cool museum ! Nice work Mr. History Traveler !
Excellent.....Thanks....

We keep and care for these things to rember what we did wrong and what we did right. To learn is the main thing. Do not revert or return.
Well said. Thanks for watching!
Love your show learn lots
Awesome, thank you!
I like that mask. Your voice is very clear. I speak with too many people whose voices are muffled by masks.

A view from the UK. JD, small correction regarding those trousers. Linen comes from the Flax plant, not cotton.

Amazing Adventure of history, Thank You for sharing and keeping it alive. Regarding the mask 😷 Lol 😝 it’s always something 🇺🇸

The Tennessee State Museum is very interesting, enjoyed visiting it. Did you also visit the nearby military museum, small but worth a visit.

Men during that time period wore corsets
I'm actually embarrassed for them.
Love the videos, but I have never worn a mask since all this started cuz I can't wear a mask due to my chronic asthma
Thanks. That mask came from Origin (www.originmaine.com). As far as masks go, it's about the best that I've found. Super light.
Does your chronic asthma make you more susceptible to illness? I’m just curious. I don’t know anyone close to me with it, so I know next to nothing about it. Be well, my friend. ✌️
Did u ever figure out what the deal is with the chair?
Get video as always
JR D 👊🏻
That’s it! I want my own “pig sticker”! Where do I get one?
Ha! You and me both.
Is it just me or does anyone else see a resemblance between the painting of A. Jackson and Christopher Walker at 4:18?
What kind of mask did you buy and where?
It's the Model 4 by Origin. Best one that I've found so far.

What's a snuff box?
A box that holds snuff tobacco. Pretty interesting.
My grandmother used snuff from the age of four until she died at 85.
Tamara Figge 😳
@@Figgatella 😳
Thank you for telling me what snuff is.😁
My mask is a political billboard, then after Nov 3, no more mask for me.
