Underground Tunnels of Welbeck Abbey, Weird Andrew Jackson Facts, and Abandoned Presidential Statues


Listen Later

This week learn all about some very obscure changes that were made to Welbeck Abbey by the Duke of Portland. An elaborate network of underground tunnels, galleries, and ballrooms were constructed so the Duke could interact with as few people as possible! Also this week learn about President Andrew Jackson's 1400 lb. wheel of cheese he kept in the White House and about his foul mouthed pet parrot. This episode's side dish includes the abandoned field of large presidential statues in Virginia. Listen and enjoy!
