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 .

A lot of coastal towns have similar flooding during hurricane season. The locals are probably used to 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!

The hair necklace is probably a Victorian era funerary thing.

@mariebelladonna437

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 .

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

I love how open-minded, compassionate and enthusiastic you are Jacob :) xx we need more people like you on KZread xx

Wet specimens. I love taxidermy, but wet specimens are the stuff of nightmares. They look like zombies just waiting to happen!!

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.

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.

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. 👍

What a phenomenally eclectic museum! I love it and the story behind it too 😍

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.

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.

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!

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

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..

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.

Delightful museum ! Thanks for sharing one of the roadsides treasure's.They are fast disappearing .

Love the military collection.

Interesting find....Good to see ya , Jacob!🙋

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.

Dang, ive been watching your videos, and this blows my mind that you went to one of my childhood memories

I love the miniatures you went so fast it seemed.

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.

Corncobs were actually used in outhouses when the Sears catalog ran out of pages...

I really envy you brother being able to get to see these places in person thank you for sharing your experiences

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.

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!

Odd stuff for sure ... thanks for sharing

This collection seriously needs curated.

What an amazing collection of this & that, from Australia

Definitely creepy man much enjoyed

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.

Corn cobs were once commonly used in place of toilet paper, in out houses. Often, these outhouses had no pit beneath, but were instead backed against the family's chicken coup. The chickens would peck the corn cobs clean, once they dried. Then the cobs would get shoveled-up and thrown out into the fields.

Cool collection for the lady.

That was awesome! I love stuff like that . I will put it on my list! Tks, Bagger!

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. 😁

Thank you for showing so many interesting things the lady has gathered. If I go to the USA I promise I Will visit it.

You have such an amazing channel

3:40 im the world smallest doll Lego: hold my bricks

Those chicken glasses are actually to prevent cannibalism. The red lenses render the chicken color blind and unable to see open wounds and raw flesh. Basically keeps them from an uproar. Once one chicken sees another one with open wounds it attacks that one and while being attacked the injured chicken inflicts wounds on the attacking chicken causing another to seek interest. It's a huge chain reaction that is avoided by making chickens wear hipster glasses lol

The corn cob that was for emergencies is a joke. The case it was in looked like an outhouse. People wiped their butts with corncobs back in the day. Great video Jacob.

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!!!

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.

next time we go down to the coast we'll check this place out.
