Museum to the Extreme - Smithsonian American History Museum 

jacob you're so lucky that you get to go to all these places. I would love to go a road trip someday

I Wish This Video Been About HOUR LONG ... YOUR BEST VIDEO YET !!!

its missing the official carpetbagger suitcase

When I went to this museum a few years ago, I was amazed at how small people were, say 150 to 200 years ago. You can tell by the military uniforms that some of the men wore. Their bone structure was much smaller. Did you see the waists sizes on the clothing that was born back then? Crazy.

Definitely a highlight from my first trip to Washington D.C. was this place. I'm a huge museum guy, so this was like paradise to me.

Thank you for the tour! It's always been one of my favorite Museums, but I haven't been in years! So nice to see all of the displays!

I freaking LOVE the Smithsonian.... I just wish I could afford to go and see it for myself... I remember in 1976, the Smithsonian sent around the Freedom Train... I remember that Lincoln's hat, the ruby slippers, Howdy Doody and a reproduction of the Declaration of Independence among lots of other artifacts were in the traveling museum. Thanks much for going there, Jacob!

When I went to the Smithsonian American History Museum in 2004, they had the flag that was draped over the Pentagon on September 12, 2001 hanging on the wall as soon as you walked through the doors. It was high up so you had to look up to see it but it was chilling. You could see a tear or two and there was still soot and grease from the hands of the workers who'd carried it up to the roof and hung it there. Mesmerizing. Brought tears to my eyes. Curators and restoration personnel were also working on THE "Star Spangled Banner", the actual flag Francis Scott Key saw that inspired him to write our national anthem.

When you said "Harry Truman's ugly shirt" I almost chocked lol

Night at the Museum

Sensory overload for sure.

This was really fun to watch! More more more

Very interesting! And bless that horse!

Love watching your videos!!!!

Great stuff! Enjoyed the visit, thanks.

Wow! This museum has a TUN of awesome stuff! Thanks for sharing CB! That War Horse is awesome!

Fantastic video, will never be able to see it in person, thanks for letting us see a bit of all the amazing things.

At 4:40 - 4:44 those puppets used to be animated and talked....my fiance spent the night there doing the voiceover for them....

The American History Museum in DC is my favorite museum in the country.

This channel has gone such a long way

nice I have personally been to this museum so many times

I love your videos. It's so cool getting to see these things with you.

Unrelated, but my dream is to tour and film Baltimore's best and creepiest with you and Dan Bell. I admire what you both do so much, and I'm such a dweeb, so very far away...but yeah! It's one of those dreams that will never come true, but that fuels my passion to both spend a week-long vacation in Baltimore, tour the entire Route 66 on a Caravan, and spend at least 6 months living and breathing Texas, my all-time favorite place in the United Stated (of Amurica).

fantastic, thank you for sharing with us.

Wow! I would love to go there! I love old history artifacts.

So interesting man. Love every one of your videos.

CB... Got my postcard today and loved it. I'm going to do a scrapebook with the postcards. I enjoyed Jesus with the children. Thank you.

I first went there in 8th grade and then again two years ago and the Ruby Slippers are always leave me in awe because The Wizard of Oz is my all time favorite movie.

I loved the crash test dummies & i had a friend that her father looked like Abe Lincoln & i also used to watch Archie Bunker brings back memories

great. you showed the good stuff.

Really enjoy ur museum visits

that place was fantastic Jacob 😊

6:27 Dot is cute and Yakko yaks Wakko packs away the snacks while Bill Clinton plays the saxs

My mom went to see Howdy Dudy as a kid,,,she cried the whole time for her mom...she was scared..LOL :D

MIND BLOWN!!!...🤯🤯🤯

I would like to see the houses in Louisiana. The ones that inspired Anne Rice

Great video sir and I'm always happy to hear the inner Orson Wells come out in you.

Another awesome video keep up the great work. Dropping by to hit the thumbs up and show some support.

6:28 wakko packs away the snacks while bill Clinton plays the sax we’re animaniacs!

been to this museum before it’s nice to relive the memories through your videos! Much love from Oklahoma

The last time I was there, Abe’s hat was out for maintenance. I would love to see the First Wive’s gowns again.

If you're ever in Ottawa, Canada, I'd love to show you around our museums.

I visited this museum in 1994 when I was in 8th grade and it was very interesting, one of my favorite places during the trip. I remember seeing some of these like Dorothy's ruby slippers and Archie Bunker's chair. At the time they had a carousel exhibit and one on the first ladies. Not sure if you went to the Natural History museum but that was great too. I'd love to check these museums out again!

Loved this museum. Sadly, only had time to see a few of the exhibits. Wanted to make sure I saw the flag that inspired the Star Bangled Banner. Also saw the Ruby Slippers, & an amazing exhibit on the cost of war.

This was very interesting! I hope there will come some more episodes from there. I have always dreamed about visiting that museum! Of what I can understand it is enormous. According to wikipedia it houses over 156 million objects! If you watched every item for only one second it would take about five years to see them all!

This video is just incredible! Isn't it amazing that you are standing right in front of endless objects of history?! WOW! I went to the Smithsonian when I was 10 years and I was in a trance becuase ever since I was a kid I love history so much! Its so fascinating. I remember seeing Abe Lincoln's hat, Edith and Arche's chairs, on and on!

How interesting Jacob. Stuffed horse had lovely saddle. Love from Land Down Under

another great video, thank you!

Thanks Carpetbagger this video and your other videos in Washington DC was very helpful to know what to see during my first trip to DC this past July for my birthday.

how extremely cool!!!!!

this place looks so good

great video

I love that museum! I have friends there, I will send them your video. I know they love to get feedback from visitors, and you did a great job.

that was so very amazing

Cool! Im wearing a Reddy Kilowatt t-shirt right now. 😃

splendid,CB!👏👏

I love your channel. I love museums and wish I get to the different muesums of the country like you do. Keep up the good work!

What a wonderful place Jacob. The prize exhibit for me among the treasures has to be Dorothy's ruby slippers.The Wizard of Oz is the greatest film of ALL time for me.

thanks for the tag along loved it

past presidents items like fishing reel and fishing flies all looked used but that basket ball had no scuffs on it like it was never bounced . New Ball

Ayyyy I’ve been here. Absolutely amazing

I would be a dream to go on a road trip with you.

I've been there once...back in 2011 when I was pregnant. It was pretty cool!

love what u do

Great video. Have always wanted to go to Washington D.C. :)

FYI What's shown is not a "carpet bag." From Wikipedia "A carpet bag is a traveling bag made of carpet, commonly from an oriental rug. They were a popular form of luggage in the United States and Europe in the 19th century. Some modern versions serve as handbags or purses."

Mr. Peanut apparently just "had to".

Nice vid.keep up the good work.👍🏻

Greensboro Museum actually have the real sitting counter cuz I went to the Greensboro Museum and it's still there so the one you went over there and the fake one

Wow AB chair

Carpet Bagger. You should do a video where you walk up to items in the museum and start dancing.

If you like Wizard of oz artifacts, check out the Wizard of Oz Museum in Wamego Kansas

amazing stuff 😍😍😍😀

When I went there on a school trip back in, like, 2008 I think? They had a display of dresses worn by First Ladies, which I thought was really cool!

cool stuff🤘🏻

Thomas eddison is not the inventor of the light bulb ;-)

The metal detector wasn't quackery. It was assembled by Alexander Graham Bell to find the bullet and would have done so successfully if Garfield's incompetent doctor hadn't insisted it was on the wrong side of Garfield's body.

You the man fifty grand!

great job love the video thank you

You forgot about the Fonz jacket

NiceTour

You know I actually been to the Smithsonian to me it's sad that the puppet show isn't working in the American Revolution section

2:24 sesame Street brought me Here

What's that at 1:50 that made you laugh?

You really need to go to the Marine Corps Museum near Quantic VA.. really well done!!!

yesss follow the yellow brick road

I thought Lincoln's hat was at the Lincoln Presidential Library and the gun that killed him

thought this nikka was taking me too some high power Smithsonian shiznesson...

-Technically, the lightbulb was patented by Thomas Edison. He pretty much stole a lot of other people's work.-

Where's all the bones of the giants they've confiscated over the years?

Pretty sure a lot is different from 2011 😅. I did see Archie Bunker's chairs, Dorothy's red slippers and some others.

"... there's ethics involved in that" 😂

Wonderful video! I went to the Smithsonian in 1986, shortly after they had acquired the set pieces from "All InThe Family" and one of the three pairs of "ruby" slippers used in "The Wizard Of Oz". I saw both of these and I was quite impressed, I must say! I also remember seeing Hoody Doody and Charlie McCarthy and Kermit the Frog! I loved all of it! Don't remember if I saw the Hope Diamond or not-I'd "hope" not! The cursed thing gives people a lot of bad luck, and certainly no "hope"! About that piece of "medical quackery" that was used on President Garfield-I wouldn't call it "quackery". That piece was one of the very first metal detectors, and this one was developed by Alexander Graham Bell to help doctors locate the bullet inside the President. It didn't work only because the President was laying on a bed filled with metal springs which made the gadget go haywire. The President died, not from the bullet wound itself but from the infection that set in later. Once Bell figured out what had gone wrong with the gadget it became invaluable to doctors of the time, helping them to save the lives of many other gunshot victims, up until the invention of X-rays around 1895.

The ruby slippers are lost. Somebody stole the real ones

thank you!!! did you do a blog on a museum of mental disorders..?? or medical history...with oddities..

7:24 did y’all see the Washington monument?

Ever been to the mill city museum in Minnesota?

How could one fight fire in a metal hat w/o one's brain melting down? Imagine how unbearably hot that must've been!

enjoyed the vid,, planning upcoming vacation to DC to see smithsonian...any tips for the lst timer..Really enjoyed the tour...geek out is right..
