The handprints outside the museum are 4 munchkins - Karl Slover, Margaret Pellegrini, Ruth Duccini, and Jerry Maren. So honored to have met all 4 before they passed away. The munchkins got no credit until the 1990s when Oz festivals started inviting them. Such incredible people with amazing stories! Check out Memories of a Munchkin by Meinhardt Raabe. He was the coroner, first Buster Brown, and first to drive the Weiner mobile!

Adam, I love how you gently take us through these old towns. You have a great eye for detail and your calm demeanor is a joy to start my day.. thanks

Thank you for giving Kansas some attention.

Excellent effort, Adam. Sometimes, less is more. No walk and talk. No Disney talk. No Ra,pa Bay Rays talk. No weight loss struggles talk. Just a very well done and gentle video about small Kansas towns. Your grade: A+

I’m from Kansas, Adam… I was so happy you were here! Thank you for visiting and being kind!❤

Adam, We've come full circle my friend. The first video I saw of yours was your visit to the old Joyland that is now long gone. Now you have travelled my own Kansas stomping grounds! That storm that you see just went through my town and destroyed my home. We have a long road ahead, but seeing your video tonight has really cheered me up immensely. Thanks for always being here for me and the hubby during hard times and good.

These are your best type of videos. Always so enjoyable.

I'm wilding out that you visited The Oz Museum in Wamego. My family and I were coming back from a trip to Texas in 2019 and stopped there on the way back. It's out of the way, but it's really good!

Adam Thank you for coming to the town that I call home. I now this town well. The Quantrill Raid and a lot of history in my town. Thank yo for stopping by.

Never get tired of small town America. Thanks Adam!

This is your best type of video. Just touring the country using the roads less traveled. Love it!

You are living my dream. I'm so glad someone is documenting all the beautiful old towns before they disappear.

Keep fascinating your fans Adam! Never boring! The BEST!

Wow, my dad grew up in Holyrood (pronounced "Holly-rude"), and I spent time in my childhood there, so it was a total surprise seeing it randomly pop up in a youtube video! It's sad to see these small towns so boarded up but also great to see the ones that are staying alive. Thanks for sharing, Adam

those teepees were cool, my friend MishaLea went to the Oz museum, she lives in Kansas, she's a veteran, along with her hubby, thanks for sharing the museum

I do love these lost/small town videos. What stood out to me on this one most was the art. Good, bad, bizarre, that's what art is all about, making you have an opinion on it. And that Oz museum (and subsequently finding the house!)was amazing! I didn't have the highest expectations for it, and it seemed like a great place to stop for any Oz fan 💚

Seeing you travel through these small towns I just marvel how much alike they all are. Seeing you pass through Hollyrood I immediately think of you passing through Commerce and Quapaw Oklahoma. Marvelous to see them all still standing.

Four years ago, I was in that same Oz museum! It was on a trip home to Missouri, and didn’t even know this place existed! One of my all time favorite movies, and it was so good to see and read the history! Thanks for bringing back memories!

The Wizard of Oz is my all time favorite movie. ATW thank you. I love a lot of your vlogs, but this one was absolute to my most delight. Thank you.

I've been to that museum in Wamego!!! my mom and I made a detour there while on a big road trip last year. I've been obsessed with the Wizard of Oz since I was three years old. finally getting to see the museum was one of the most magical experiences I've ever had.

Adam watch out for any children of the corn standing by road as you drive by🙀🙀🙀🌽

I lived in Topeka KS from 2001 til 2010 and used to go to Wamego every yr. The Surviving Munckins would come to an OZ meet and greet each year. Now they are all passed away.

I wish we had more quirky stuff in the UK ❤ Adam you and some of your youtube buddies have really made me see the USA in a different way. I have fallen in love with your country. ❤from UK 🇬🇧

Adam!!!! My hometown is Larned!!!! My relatives lived in Pawnee Rock, too!! I am so excited you were there!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤❤❤❤❤

I love Wamego! Such a cool little town. Was lucky enough to go a couple years ago. The people couldn’t of been nicer. Keep up the awesome adventures Adam! Safe Travels!

Hey Adam good vlog and thank you and keep up the good you do love jarl

Man I am a huge Wizard of Oz fan!! I’ve got to get out here sooner rather than later! Awesome video Adam.

Hah! My boss sent me the video and I wasn't sure why until the "I'm Melting" sign. I work there and maintain what goes up. The time after the 4th of July/Boomtown Fireworks holiday until about the start of school is pretty uneventful so I tend to go between this or "Now Showing, Summer Part 2, The Sweltering." Melting gets more attention from tourists when they come in so I've gone with it more over the years. Maybe I should put it up also for Oztoberfest in the fall. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for coming through town! Couple answers for questions I heard while you were in Wamego: --The Totos are part of a project started a few years ago that gave out 15 or 16 statues to various artists and are scattered throughout town. The "orignal" Toto sits across the street from my sign in the little park. Originally it was supposed to have a Ruby Slipper in it's mouth but the Kansas weather never cooperated. --The Eagle statue you saw after being at the Oz Museum is on top of the Columbian theatre and Art Gallery. Run by the same organization that oversees the museum they put on several community plays/musicals throughout the year. I haven't been in there for some time but they also had artifacts from the 1892 World's Fair where L. Frank Baum got the idea for the Emerald City. If you are ever back through and they are open I'd recommend a stop. --The house with the witches legs used to be called the Chrysler house since it was supposed to have been the childhood home of Walter Chrysler (the man pictured in the front door). It was in town nearer to the river before it was moved out there with the intention of being a visitor's center or something similar (depends on whom you ask). Never have been 100% sure why it never got finished but it works as is.

Love the OZ tour, One of the Greatest Movies Ever Made....Sad when you see what was, and now gone in time; You wonder where did all these people moved to? those small towns had a lot of love and closeness within the communities; Good Memories. & Summer Tours...☕☕

I shall and I did join you on your adventure through the coll looking places in Kansas, my friend Adam. The wizard of Oz has got to be one of the top favorite in my list of all time greatest movies & musicals of all time. I love Judy Garland. It had a nice cast of good actors & actresses of that time in Hollywood. Dorothy and Toto being my favorite characters in that film along with the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion. I got to go to that museum in person and enjoy all the memories of that iconic film. Thanks again, Adam the Woo! You're great!! 🙏🏼

Your attention to detail on your road trip is absolutely amazing please keep up the amazing work 👍

There is a field north of Lawrence where they grow sunflowers. The farmer opens it up to visitors. If is quite the site

Oh man now I have the wizard of oz song stuck in my head !! Thanks to you Adam ... thanks to you :-)

Awesome adventure and no Tornado 🌪️ that’s a win

Were you reminded of The Great Movie Ride being there? Wow! Cool place!

I live in a small town about 30 minutes from truckhenge and never heard of it. I was born and have lived most of my life here. The only tornado I was involved in was when I was leaving Nashville, TN at the airport. They closed it down and when I was flying out the next day I could see buildings that were blown down! Nice video Adam! I'm glad I found it. I hope you'll come back and do some more!

Wow, Adam! The last portion of your vlog-when you went through Midway. It was like one of those science fiction and suddenly everyone was gone movies. That town was spooky! There was nothing! No parked cars, nobody crossing the road or walking the sidewalk. "And then there were none.." 😱paging Agatha Christie! Nice one. Enjoy! Be careful too.

Thanks Adam! These little towns remind me of our vacations going from Chicago to California. I loved these towns.

Good day Mr Adam Woo. Enjoyable vlog - thank you.😊

Really enjoyed the Wizard of Oz museum, and the walk down the yellow brick road!!

This was so cool... such diverse places. Thanks for taking us with you, Adam... ***Soon you'll be quoting, 'Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore!'

My brother was in the army, stationed at Junction city, believe it was, just south of Lawrence i think. Anyway close to it!! I love to hear the summer music sounds,birds singing, bugs chirring-locusts, grasshoppers, katydids,crickets! I love the old brick roads!!

Thank you so very much for these travel videos!

The RC cola sign was amazing. Even faded I still love it.

Love that farmhouse. It was so quirky. Great vlog Adam x

Wizard Of Oz is seriously my favourite movie of all time I watch it all the time so this was so awesome to see the museum thank you so much Adam 😊

Thanks for sharing😎💜

Love videos like this of old towns that people just up and left everything as it was.It's amazing to think how people live back then with no big box stores.

That museum was terrific. Thanks.

We have the smaller Judy Garland museum up north in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, where the ruby slippers were infamously stolen. There’s still a horse carriage that was used in the film, among other Judy Garland items. It’s nearby Hibbing, which is Bob Dylan’s hometown (and allegedly, you can get a tour of his home if you ask the owner) and Duluth, of course. Might need to head north when you do Target Field in the future!

Flying monkeys have always been my biggest fear!!! All I saw was your thumbnail and I got the chills lol.

Adam, what a awesome and cool video and I really enjoyed it! Again, thank you for taking me along with you on your travels! Love those little towns with the old buildings and especially The Wizard of Oz museum and the cool old farmhouse! Love those old signs too! Looking forward to your next awesome vlog! I had a pipping hot caffeinated beverage in the wee hours of the morning this morning.

Great video, some different that visiting Disney in California and Orlando. The peace and quiet of those small towns and what was once was. I grew up in a small town, and when I visit it now, so little retail is left. The movie theater is now an antique shop and the town once had 2 super markets, car dealer, and now just convenience store/gas station and the ever present Dollar General. I visited the Wizard of Oz museum once while traveling on business and bought a brick painted yellow. Nothing like carrying a heavy yellow brick on a plane, but I have it on display in my living room.

gotta love small town America

Quite an OZ Museum!! Thanks for the video

Wamego!!!! Was at museum few years ago. Love the WOO - Wizard of Oz and Adam 😂

Amazing Wizard of Oz museum. Truck Henge is also unique.

Thank you for the tour of The Wizard Of Oz Museum. I've been a fan since I was little. The museum was awesome. Love watching your vlogs.

Thank You Adam for sharing this video. Really cool museum.😊

My wife and I did this museum about ten years ago on a side trip when traveling to Topeka. Such a cool little museum out in the middle of absolutely nowhere!

Dang! I live right across the street from the wishing bench! Wish I would've known you were stopping by my neighborhood! Hope you had a good time in Lawrence.

Absolutely love when you do vlogs like this one. Truckhenge was awesome! Since I'm not the biggest Oz fan, i probably wouldnt have stopped at that museum, but it was pretty cool. Glad I got to see it and the other Oz stuff you featured. 😊

Classic Adam the Woo video. I love it. When your at a place like this especially out in the middle of nowhere, do you sit and think about where your at or think about how they started a place like that truck henge thing and how many people been through it? When I traveled in the past I'd be out in the middle of nowhere and think about where I was just a day or so ago and the miles I put in etc. Sadly I won't be able to travel ever again it's a very hard personal story it's hard for me to talk about but I'm sick. I've been fan of yours for years now and thankfully I've been able to live through you and enjoy your travels. Thank you

I love my sleepy dusty western Kansas home. Wouldn't live anywhere else. I've lived in Montana and Colorado for most of my life and people are real here.

Legendary barbecue ! Hosted the best NFL draft I have ever seen. Really enjoyed the outdoor venue and th energy of the fans.

this is my favorite movie followed be willy.wonka and the chocolate factory..have fun on your endeavors..Adam.

We love Americana!! Thank you Adam!!

Lol....love the farmhouse on the legs..lol.😊p.s. my father is from Herington, Kansas.

Thanks Adam! I have no intentions or plans to head that way, but it is always great to see new things!

Good video. The yellow brick road is gold 💛 what the story really means and is about is a good story itself

My dog is named Toto! The Wizard of Oz is my all time favorite movie! Thank you for this video!

Adam, I'm so glad you drive around and take us to all these different and unique places that most of us can't get to. Personally, I'm not keen on the baseball games but I still watch them because you took the time to record it.

You can not imagine how delighted I was to see you explore this area 😍 I’m from Wamego!

Good morning Adam the woo ☺️🌅 i been to Kansas years ago in the 90s with my family about 1994 it was hot 🥵 but was fun, we also went to Colorado Denver and Boulder, we were in the location that Mork and Mindy was film at. I saw the football stadium it looks like a college stadium. Thanks for sharing Adam. The back roads of Kansas 😊

It's a good thing you found the balloon 🎈 to transport you back to Kansas! 😀

I love the videos with out baseball, Disney and **cons, just the real world, some of your best even if they don't get as many views, we all love them.

It's so cool to see all these old school roadside attractions. Especially for me because due to anxiety issues I can't drive so with the train or planes, I never get a chance to see stuff like this.

Love my Daily WOO fix each morning!! AND in my home state!! ❤ Some of that live in KS haven't even seen these little towns! Thank you for your vlogs! 🙋🏽‍♀️❤️🌻

Ahhhh!!! Lawrence, KS - home of my alma mater. Rock Chalk Jayhawk!!!

Good morning Adam!! Fun times on your journey!!

great video Adam, I love these travel videos !!

Thank you for the Oz Museum tour!! The movie came out once a year when I was a kid 📺Watched every single year.

hello again Adam , another interesting explore around cool places on the back roads , enjoyed the Oz Museum that was real cool , really well done and thank you for this 😊

The memorabilia in the trees and all around that area reminds me of what happens when tornadoes go through.

Adam I know this is late so you might not see it but there’s another Wizard of Oz museum in Liberal Kansas. I went there as a kid. They have an annual festival there. There’s a yellow brick road and a bunch of props that were in the movie including the model of the family’s house that was used for the tornado scene. If you’re going that way I’d love to see it again as an adult with your spin on it.

Fun Facts: I recently read The Wizard of Oz. Its similar to the movie. Theyre were no ruby slippers, they were silver shoes! I read it and then read it again! Lots of different things in the movie than the book.

Wamego is a cool, little town. There was a movie filmed there, around 2005, called Firecracker that stars Karen Black and Mike Patton (from Faith No More).

Lawrence!!! I graduated from KU and love that town so much. Lucky Adam!!

I love the Wizard of Oz museum! My aunt’s hometown. There’s a delicious diner there too.

If you have the time, I can highly recommend Strataca, and the Cosmosphere in Hutchinson KS.

Looks like part of a Wigwam Village. There is still one in operation in Cave City, KY.

Yeas, I'm going to visit 🎉🎉

Thanks for the scenic tour of the backroads of Kansas quite nice just wish there was some sort of activity out there with people also the Oz Museum was a very nice place to visit well all and all it was a fun day hanging out with you now with that peace ☮️ love ❤️ and happiness to you Adam and I’ll see you on the next awesome Adam the daily woo adventure peace ☮️ out ✌️

Adam finds the most interesting places. It's so awesome 👍

Awesome vlog, love this kind of stuff!

Thanks Adam for your travels on Kansas. I travel to New Mexico every fall for the winter and always go by way of Kansas. The Oz Museum looks like a great stop in Wamego. Plus Lawrence. Keep travelin'.

I was laughing when you said the Wicked Witch display was "slightly frightening" while slowly moving away from it🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for video I'm from Kingman Kansas and have been to this museum I love that they have stuff from the wiz! If you have time you might like visiting the cosmosphere it's in Hutchinson Kansas

Welcome to Kansas Adam
