His home he had before that is in corbin ky where the original restaurant is. I am just a few miles away from the original restaurant and museum. Col.Sanders was a very nice man, i use to see him all the time.

What a great museum. I wish they all tasted like they did when I was a kid. He would not be pleased with a lot of them now.

The same thing with Mc Donald and Pizza Hut. As a kid, I remember the quality was much better than it is now

There is alot of terrific memorabilia in this museum. Great storytelling, Jordan. You always find unique museums. My favorite is the 45 record, clock, and photos with famous people. Glad it is still open.

Thank you Jordan, for this wonderful vlog about Colonel Sanders. What a great museum tour! I really enjoyed this.

Thank you for the history of Colonel Sanders, I had no idea he started when he was older, I had always thought he started in his 20's. I am glad they have a museum!

Found a few of those lights on line thank you I use to be asst manager there in the 80’s

Jordan you were looking at that bucket light in the case. When I was little, that's the lighting they had in the restaurants. That was a nice blast from the pass. I remember the packets of honey, the paper hats, and stuff too. Thanks for the video. 🥰

Its true what you said about Christmas in Japan. My son was stationed there, and he said they have to preorder because it always sells out at Christmas. 😂

I ate where it all began in Corbin Kentucky. It's a nice museum as well.

I had no idea what a handful , and a fighter he was. I love it !! Awesome place ❤

I was in Japan on business in 1991. Our first night we had Kentucky Fried Chicken. My engineer’s daughter worked next door at a place called “Penny Rain” it had a British pub setting and they played Beatle music. Great night.

That's awesome the robot col. sanders and all those cool artifacts

That place was awesome I really enjoyed watching it thanks

Thank you, that was a great video and cute museum.

In Japan Fried Chicken is a big thing for Christmas. You have to put your order in in November to get it for Christmas. Most places run out of chicken. I love this museum. Scott Michaels should come visit it. He'll never want to leave. Lol. Thanks for sharing this with us. Take care.

So nostalgic. Thank you for taking us. Merry Christmas!

His grave is also in Louisville, in Cave Hill Cemetery and the original restaurant/gas station is about 2 1/2 hours southeast of Louisville.

So I guess I'm having KFC for dinner now. Cravings are strong after watching this video! LOL

Once the sit down restaurants went away, it was over for quality 😢

Great video as always Jordan-our family's first fast food-no Mcd's in those days-does anyone else think the bust in the front yard is creepy?

Yes, I didn’t think the bust looked like the colonel at all. It is creepy looking.

I'm so glad you took us along! Thanks again, Jordan!❤

My partner and I went to the Corbin KY KFC museum recently. Honestly wasn't expecting a modern museum.

There was an old TV show based out of NYNY in the late '60s to early '70s called Wonderama hosted by a man named Bob MacCallster, and I remember him being on that show. He told the children how he started with hard work and that they needed to work hard to succeed.

8:15 It's a little more complicated than that, he shot the guy in self defense. The same guy was later shot and killed by a deputy. 14:05 Also true! People order their chicken ahead of time, and stand in line to pick it up, you can see the commercials here on KZread. The Japanese call him 'Kenta-kun' (Kenta = Kentucky). Japan used to have statues of the Colonel outside the stores. One of these statues was thrown in a river when some sports fans got too rowdy, and 'The Curse of the Colonel' supposedly led to that team's subsequent 18-year pennant drought and 38 year title drought

Great video, Jordan. The animatronic Colonel is a cool way to greet visitors but, in my younger years, I got to meet Colonel Sanders personally. I was a teenager and the Colonel was appearing as a guest on a TV game show at NBC Studios in Burbank. I waited next to his limo after the show and, when he came out, he gave me a big smile, a warm handshake and an autographed picture that I still have to this day. He couldn't have been nicer. I'll definitely have to visit the museum sometime.

Colonel Sanders was also at one point, living in Shelbyville, Ky. There is a restaurant there, The Colonels Lady. 😊

His sister worked for my grandpa and my great uncle in a business they had as a book keeper...... and one of my jobs when I was younger.. I worked at a KFC in Indianapolis, IN.

In Japan in the 2000s they threw any statue of the colonel, they could find into canals about 50% of them have been recovered and are proudly preserved water damage and all the recovered statues are seen as great monuments in history and honored in Japanese tradition!

Miraculously, the curse of the Japanese baseball team Hanshin Tigers was broken this year, after had lost many times before. They won the Japan series championship. "The curse was said to be placed on the team because of the Colonel's anger over treatment of one of his store-front statues, which was thrown into the Dōtonbori River by celebrating Hanshin fans before their team's 1985 Central League pennant. As is common with sports-related curses, the Curse of the Colonel was used to explain the team's subsequent 18-year pennant drought and 38 year title drought. Some fans believed the team would never win another Japan Series until the statue had been recovered." It has been a tradition to eat American Fried Chicken every Christmas in Japan. The queue to their KFC is usually record-breaking.

Hey Jordan your coming towards my neck of the woods in Louisville. I used to work at Winston Industries and we made the collectramatic pressure fryers Col Sanders used for KFC. He and the owner Winston Shelton were good friends and worked together to build the pressure fryers that are used by most KFC stores to this day. Winston just passed away a few years ago. Also we did alot of business with the Claudia Sanders restaurant and actually had company dinners there several times as well. Anyway one time when your in Louisville it would be cool to meet you and say hi.

I'm glad it didn't close. I forgot about that cool amatronic. Thanks for bringing back memories of my childhood with the light-up bucket. Those buckets were lights in the restaurants back in the early 70s. Surprise, they didn't have the Playskool Kentucky Fired Chicken playset in there. We got one in Toyland that I still play with. 😅

I still need to make it to your place.. ive just been on major time restraints when I've been in the area.. even in Metropolis, it was kind of a I have one hour time things..

I've built a small model kit on the KFC restaurant as it looked back in the 1970s still got it today a Great display piece

Jerry Lewis must have been a fan of the Colonel. Colonel Sanders made a guest appearance in Jerry’s movie, “The Big Mouth” as himself.

That Colonel robot is a dead ringer. Very lifelike.

Oh my! When he started talking I screamed 😂 he looks so real! Amazing! KFC does not have his high standards today😢

Thank You for all the history. Great museum. Thank You.

I like KFC chicken a lot and it's amazing story of col sanders like always it's amazing story thank you for sharing this

Awesome tour! I had no idea this museum existed. Thanks!

This is so great Jordan. He was a true Icon.

Thats so cool. I had been there once and found it really interesting. Jordan you was just a hop,skip and a jump from me. Glad you enjoyed your visit.😊

This Museum is actually cool! Thanks for showing this.

That red hat toward the end means the Colonel was a Shriner which means he was also a Freemason. Many successful businessmen were Freemasons.

This was great. So glad we got to see the museum. Lots of very interesting things there. Thanks, Jordan.

Josephine is buried with their son at Walnut Ridge Cemetery right off Hamburg Pike. Their son died at the age of 20 from complications when getting his tonsils out.

🙂 awesome tour!!!

Very enjoyable. Well done, Jordan! Thanks for sharing this colorful museum, especially for some of us who aren't able to travel there in person.

Great vlog! Great chicken!

Awesome video. Thank you for sharing. 😊

I love KFC! It tasted a lot better back in the 70 & 80's. It was always a treat when Mom would come home from work on a Friday night with those red and white box dinners for us. I remember they used to have a buttered corn on the cob wrapped in foil with with the chicken, biscuit and mashed potatoes in the box. And also the little butter packets for the biscuits. Not anymore on that and the corn! Also back in the early 80's the had desserts which were these parfaits of either strawberry or chocolate....so good! You could also get chicken livers and gizzards if you asked (since it wasn't on the menu)...which were really good with that original recipe coating on them! That went away also by the late 80's. At least in CA. On a road trip thru TN back in 2007, me and a friend stopped in at a KFC there and they had them on their menu there! Yeah, love KFC. Just wish it tasted like it used to back in the day!

Yes, you're right. I remember how it tasted back in the 70s & 80s, and you could smell the aroma of the fried chicken 2 to 3 blocks away from the restaurant 😋👏👏. Now, I can't smell anything whenever I pass by a KFC 😂👎.

Like his food great nice museum

My favorites were the crispy chicken breast and the coleslaw,,,, anyone also remember the turning bucket up above the sign by the street??

You should visit his "shrine" gravesite at Cave Hill Cemetery. He gets a lot of visitors, along with Ali.

That was really cool to see. Thanks Jordan!

Colonel first restaurant for Kentucky fried chicken was in Corbin Kentucky. The Kentucky candies are delicious not everyone can make it properly, it is so creamy and melts in your mouth. I do think that is my favorite candy of all time it’s so rich you can’t eat very much.

My home state!!! If you are ever around Harlan County, KY let me know. We do have awesome stuff n places in our small ex coal town! Love your videos!🌹💜

Great video Jordan! I love your enthusiasm! Fun travels to you!😊

Enjoyed again Jordan,

Fascinating museum great job Jordan

I love your excitement for these attractions I would be the exact same.

Very historic history of the Colonel, obvious KFC became a hit cause it was used in movies such as Grown Ups, Dr.Dolittle 2, a deleted scene in Click, Edtv etc

So glad this is still there & open. Really fun vlog & now on that note we'll be having some KFC for dinner! Thanks J. 🐓🐓🐓

I started working their in 1967 ,15 years old...

He also had a very modest 3 bedroom house in Mississauga, Ontario on Melton Drive (Canada) and I met him at a local mall. In the end, he felt so betrayed by the USA that he left for Canada. Once here, he created, "Scott's Chicken Villa" in Canada and did quite well. He was very happy here! He is still revered here for eternity. In the end, he hated the USA (so he told me in person) and would be ashamed of this museum if still alive. He embraced Canada and we in turn embraced him. SHAME! This museum should be here in Canada.

KFC is loved & very popular in South Africa.

I have a Polaroid photo of him in 1976 in the Indy 500 festival parade...my ex wife ran up to the float him was on startling him 😂

I remember watching an episode of Little House on the Prairie when the Olson's opened up a restaurant and as time passed on it the restaurant had it up's and down and it eventually closed and while Mr.Olson was on the porch a man in awagon pulled up and offered him a deal in having a restaurant that served chicken only. And they laughed and said a restaurant that serves only chicken that will never catch on.If they only knew the out come of that thought.

Jordan that was a great video. Thanks again for taking us along on another amazing adventure. Merry Christmas to you, your family and the most beautiful fur baby.

Favorite 😊❤😊

Its true regarding Japan, I love japan so haha! The Colonel is very popular there,

This video is awesome thank you for doing it Jordan. I hope you have a great holidays with Katie and your family.

Thank you so much for making these videos & for your humour 😃 I have a Great Time Seeing everywhere you go because I’m in Australia.

Jordan, I’ve loved Colonel Sanders since I was a small child even though I’ve been a vegetarian since 5 yrs old. 😂 There was just something about him, not to mention the fact he has the best potato and gravy in the world. 😋 Now thanks to u tube you can check out the best commercial ever. Which was made for Aussie tv in 1977, featuring 2 chubby kids called Hugo and Holly. ❤️Jodie 🇦🇺

There are some cool southern Indiana places to visit if you ever get the time Jordan or make time

Bravo!!

Craving the KFC mashed potatoes and gravy now..

Your the best at this. Awesome info. Thank you.

Interesting! I remembered around 1980 that he passed. I still love KFC.

This was great, every Friday night when my Mother got paid we went to the “Ritz” as she called it for dinner, this was in the 60’s prices were so reasonable. Great nostalgia ty Jordan Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 to you and yours 🤗🥰

Wow, never knew about this

“Looove that chicken from Popeyes!” 🎶

Might not be the best food to eat but like all fast food places…. no matter where you go it’s very much the same standard everywhere 👍🏻

hi jordan......we love that chicken....

THE 11 SECRET SPICES ARE ......salt/pepper/salt /pepper /garlic powder/thyme/salt/pepper /salt/pepper and a pinch more of salt to taste

Good video Jordan

what I love are the biscuits wish I had the formula

I love this. I bet Scott Michaels is licking his fingers. I hope you got him a brick. Happy Holidays Jordan.

Thank you for sharing this video with everyone. It was great to see and hear the history of his life and business. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you. From Gail Van Miert, East Rutherford, New Jersey

His house looks like the white House. My family love's KFC 🍗

Awesome ❤

i love all of your awesome videos

A heated argument ensued with guns on both sides being pulled and the whole thing devolving into a firefight in which Sanders successfully shot Stewart, but not before one of the Shell managers, Robert Gibson, was himself shot and killed. Luckily for Sanders and all of us who enjoy KFC, however, as Stewart had shot at the trio first, Sanders would get off scot-free. It was self-defense, you see… Despite, you know, the trio being the ones to approach the lone Stewart packing their guns. And so it was that Stewart went to jail for murdering Gibson

Cool!

This place looks awesome!! I definitely hope you visit Corbin, KY now after visiting here.
