I'm compiling a list of fun, educational, historical places to visit, usually as day trips if we're traveling in the area. Most of our travels take us in the eastern half of the USA, but may take a few trips out west in the next few years. Here are a few on my list, any other recommendations? So far, our favorites have a farm or Civil War connection. We've been to half on this list, and will return for future visits.
Thomas Jefferson's Monticello
George Washington's Mt Vernon
Shenandoah Valley's McCormick Farm
Gettysburg
Any cave within our schedule
The Lincoln Museum, Ft Wayne IN
Abraham Lincoln birthplace, KY
Lincoln home, Illinois
