Is Jesse open to employment opportunities outside of Tennessee?

Yes, I am very willing to relocate to pursue my career in the museum field. I dream of working and living somewhere that I can afford an old house.

Does Jesse do programs or speaking engagements?

Yes, I am very open to community partnerships.

How are Jesse’s collection and programs financed?

This is a passion project for Jesse. The project is self-funded. He has had many opportunities to save unwanted items, and community members have donated items to his collection.

What does Jesse do with all this stuff when he’s not using it?

I have several storage buildings and would love to find a more permanent place to display my items to create a YouTube filming location.

Why did I get a letter from Jesse?

For years I have written letters to landowners who have old buildings on their property. I write for personal reasons to try to learn more about the property. To see if I can get permission to photograph a property, or to try to find someone with a old house they no longer use to let me use it for a YouTube studio in exchange for my labor for maintenance needs, or some other mutually beneficial arrangement.
