Historical places to visit

[heypeg]

I love to visit civil war sites and historical houses.

No I have never in my life visited anything historical  really?

One of my favorites was a trip to Tennessee where we visited Graceland in Memphis and attended a show at the Ryman Auditorium where the Grand Ol' Opry started.

Thanks for the ideas, looking to take a long weekend somewhere.  A lot of good ideas.

Go visit the Mayflower and Plymouth Rock. I miss MA so much.

Go visit the Mayflower and Plymouth Rock. I miss MA so much.

I did that and I agree, it was awesome. We went to the settlement where all the people dressed in the style of that period and even carried on conversation with us as if it was back then.

In my area St. Augustine is my favorite place to visit and it is definitely historic.  But I have such severe mobility issues haven't been able to do that in years.  I also live somewhat close to Daytona Beach and it has some historic places to visit but not as much as St. Augustine.

Southern South Carolina  area with ChArles ton and Beaufort areas  are our favorites.

Philadelphia is pretty good for history. Betsy Ross House, Ben Franklin's grave (and others), the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, Reading Terminal Market, Museum of Art (where Rocky ran up the steps in the movie), South Street, Valley Forge, the 2 cheesesteak rivals Pat's established in 1930, and Geno's right across the street who are historical icons in their own right.   I for one don't care for the melted Velvetta "sauce" on my cheesesteak. i like provolone or white American.   Oh, and the Italian Market close to Pat's.

 I googled Philly cheesesteaks and up popped a website called visitphilly.com that suggests all things Philly.

Southern South Carolina  area with ChArles ton and Beaufort areas  are our favorites.

I loved visiting there when my son graduated from Parris Island. We went to a steak house every night "somewhere around Beaufort" and it had the best steak and seafood I've ever had, plus my mom had one of the burgers and it was so big, she couldn't finish it!   

I would love to go back but can't.

I use to live in Washington, DC so I was able to explore so many historic places. I loved it! I started with a list of the top places to visit and after those were crossed off I kept finding more and more. I recommend a guided tour because some of the guides are so rich with fun and interesting facts I would have never known. It's a great place to learn, explore, and pay tribute.

Good thing about DC is that a lot of it is free of charge!
