Travis Kelce鈥檚 historic twin? Museum photo of 1800s tycoon goes viral
A photo taken at the Alexander Majors House Museum has gone viral for its uncanny resemblance to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
See the photo in the video player above.
Alexander Majors, born in 1814, was a business tycoon and a co-founder of The Pony Express.
"A visitor to our museum took a picture of him, and it went viral. We thought it was so funny," said Executive Director of the Alexander Majors House Museum Sarah Bader-King. "It is Alexander Majors, but [he] looks a lot like Travis Kelce."
Bader-King says that in his time, Majors was just as famous as Kelce is today.
"People really just knew him in the 19th century," Bader-King said. "He also had a massive shipping company, but he wasn't a football player."
Travis is aware of the photo, and he and his older brother, Jason, discussed it on their "New Heights" podcast. On the podcast, Travis said, as he looked at the picture of Majors, "If I'm looking at myself in this mirror, this is pretty damn good."
Another eerie coincidence: Majors was born on Oct. 4, and Travis was born on Oct. 5. They are separated by one day鈥攁nd 175 years.
Bader-King hopes the attention might draw Travis to visit the museum.
"We are such a small organization that it would be such a help to us if he would consider blessing us with a visit to learn more about the 'Frontier Travis Kelce.'"
For one day only, on Feb. 7, the museum has symbolically renamed the building the Travis Kelce House Museum.
The museum, located in Kansas City, is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $8 for adults, $6 for seniors and students, and $5 for children ages 6-12.
