I would love to spend a month in DC seeing all the museums

@TheHistoryUnderground 4 года назад

You would actually need about that long.

@josephsokoloski7010 2 года назад

@@TheHistoryUnderground it would take many days to see all. Many less known places besides the Smithsonian's.. FBI museum, National Geographic HQ is huge and big museum, Naval Yard,The Pentagon, Soldiers home museum ( mostly civil war stuff), I could go on and on..

@vawterb 3 года назад

Thank you. My daughter and I had the opportunity to go to DC when she was in the 7th grade. At the time I thought I would look up information on the Smithsonian Institute as I knew we would be going there. I was amazed that it is made up of 17 museums! Spent most of our time in Air and Space!

I was at the Westminster Hall and Burial Grounds in downtown Baltimore. The Star Spangled Banners birth and some major players. I took some pictures if you would like to research for a video store.

They do have All in the Family & Archie Bunker on TV as of today - 06/08/2022 - in the Boston Area. Regular Airwaves on a Marlborough, Mass. Station. I don't know if they would have the show for you Locally. Maybe Cable. This Video is surely a 'Walk down Memory Lane'. Ted Williams was a Local Boy. Man, 'he served his Country in two Wars' - Early & Later Peaks - and still 'is considered One of the Best Base Ball Players' - Ever. Norman Rockwell's Prints raised some $132 million dollars in 1943 money = $2,205,918,381.50 - trillions (06/08/2022). Wow! Really Cool. Thanks for the Effort. God Bless.

I recognized the textbook I have used for many years now as a high school social studies teacher. It was the 3rd up from the bottom -- The Americans. We used to bring the Junior Class on a field trip to DC. I took a break from organizing it for one year, then COVID hit. I hope to visit there this summer with my family.

@@TheHistoryUnderground I really am! It's fantastic, you're living my dream life! Back in October 2018y husband was working at West Point, NY and staying at a hotel in Fort Montgomery while I and my kids were home in Panama City, FL. October 10th Panama City was hit by a massive category 5 hurricane and after being trapped for 2 days I took my kids to New York to be with my husband. We took a train into NYC and had an absolute blast. I also took a few minutes to myself and wound up going to the Fort Montgomery historic site which was burned down by the British in 1776. That was where I decided that I wanted to explore historical sites and museums like you. I got bit by the history bug big time! I only hope my content is as good as yours!

@mtibbens82 3 года назад

I noticed that dim lighting is an issue in a lot of museum videos. I think certain water based colors/dyes, woods and textiles are very light-sensitive. That might be why they're so dimly lit.. to help preserve them over time.

@WSTLDN2011 3 года назад

You are correct

@digitalblasphemy1100 2 года назад

No there are plenty of lights and films for cutting UV. The lighting is for highlighting the artifacts and keeping a calming mood.

Just started watching your videos and enjoying them. If you are ever interested in interesting and unique things try coming to the Detroit area to Greenfield Village and Henry Ford Museum. They are in the same complex but two different parts with one outside and one inside. From there had about 3 hours north to Mackinac island and check out the fort. Just a couple good stops for history in Michigan

@christinagowan8116 Год назад

I have never been to Detroit but I have been to Mackinac Island and it was amazing. And the fudge is to die for.

All in the Family is still in syndication. They show it on a channel called Antenna TV. Not sure if that channel is available everywhere though.

@TheHistoryUnderground 4 года назад

Wuzwrongwitdatdolla - WHERE?!?! I haven’t been able to find it anywhere.

@Wuzwrongwitdatdolla 4 года назад

The History Underground Antenna TV is the name of the channel. It comes with the cable service (Comcast) where I live (Oregon). I don’t know if Antenna TV is available where you live though. You can watch seasons 5 & 6 on sonycrackle.com for free and there’s also a lot of episodes that were uploaded to RU-vid.

@jonathanpasch6604 3 года назад

I think Antenna TV is only received on an actual antenna. WCIU, which is channel 26 where I live, also offers 4 other channels (26.2, 26.3, 26.4, 25.5) but you cannot get them on dish or cable, only with an antenna.

@Azw3thinkw3iz Год назад

My brother in Christ you keep saying “the room is so dark I can’t see anything!” Yet haven’t googled why. The reason why they are dark is to preserve the cloth of the pieces they have on display. Believe it or not yes light can damage cloth given time. To prevent this the museum keeps the lights dim and the temperature constant to give the cloth the best chance of survival for future generations to observe.

What's more un-American than charging some Family an astronomical amount of money for an item that costs .50 cents wholesale. Quick math says that a Family of 5 would expect to pay $100 for lunch with drinks and tax. WTF. The irony, the many many reminders of the hard fought freedoms in the museum, and the scattered reminders of the lost freedoms outside in the form of a $7 kids meal, no doubt, $9 dollars in 2022.

@TheHistoryUnderground 2 года назад

Yeah, pretty ridiculous.
