Just want to say that as a senior citizen with mobility issues I so appreciate you taking me along on your walks! Very cool!
That is one of major reasons we do this channel. Thank you for watching and for the comment. We appreciate your support.
Since I've started watching your channel, my bucket list of places to visit has grown tremendously! Keep up the amazing work! Can Do!
That’s great! That’s part of our goal with this…let us know what you visit next. 😁🙌🏻
According to National Geographic a few years ago, Washington is 1st because he was the 1st President, Lincoln 3rd because of saving the national and Andrew Jackson was front in center because he has a man crush on him and always thought he looked like a president should look.
This is so cool. I never knew this place even existed. Awesome!
super fun indeed 😁
Here’s a fun personal history fact for you……. I actually visited President’s Park in either 2005 or 2006 and have pictures of myself with many of these statues. I had many pictures from that day, but now are lost to history. But, I visited. Thanks for sharing.
No way! That’s so cool…do you know what happened to the pictures? How funny you are now part of a select group of people that visited the original Presidents Park. 😂
@@WalkwithHistoryI have no idea what happened to them. Gone forever I’m sure. I just happened to go to Williamsburg and I’m guessing saw a brochure or something. The statues were along a concrete walking path and there were little plaques beside of each telling about them. I really enjoyed it. When I visited Williamsburg last year, I almost visited the ruins. But it had rained solid for several days and actually rained every day we were there. And I read the conditions were insanely muddy, or I would’ve went. They were actually open the weekend I was there.
@@Whittdocs Bummer! That's neat though that you saw the original park!
Never heard of this place, thanks for sharing!!
Our pleasure!
It is sad that Presidents' Park is no more. And sad that the busts are deteriorating. I do hope they can find a way to at least preserve what they have left.
Would be interested in seeing the ones that the original sculptor saved that are in Texas somewhere
Very cool. I really hope they can do something to save them
Us too…they are so neat
It is so hard to pick just one. I love John Adams, Abraham Lincoln, Grant, Eisenhower and Reagan. Lincoln because he helped to abolish slavery within the United States. I think people forget the good Grant did while in office because his time as president is overshadowed by the corruption that his political advisors (and son-in-law) were apart of.
There is actually another president park in the black hills of South Dakota but it is also closed but no one is aloud to see it. I have seen CZcams videos of people flying their drones over it.
We heard that! That would be cool to see
Teddy would not like being that close to Woody
Ha! Didn’t think of that.
Teddy looks like he wants to headbutt Woody
😂
Are you allowed to just go there or do you have to have permission? I wouldn’t want to trespass on private property. That’s really cool. I'd like to see it.
You have to buy tickets through the Presidents Heads website. They give you a time slot to come visit as it is on private property.
I would think it is that Washington is on the $ 1.00 Lincoln is on the $5 and Jackson is on the $20 Don't know why Jefferson would be in the back
That's a good guess...never thought of that one!
I've heard about this place, wild.
It was super cool!
I bet, you and Scott find all the cool places, lol. @@WalkwithHistory
