Visit the new Museum of the American Revolution for a theatrical, immersive walk through the beginnings of the United States.
Visiting the Liberty Bell in downtown Philadelphia is free and easy, though there is often a line to get in.
It’s free (almost) and easy to visit Independence Hall in Philadelphia, PA – park at the Visitor Center and make a day of the National Park!
I spent a weekend in Nashville and stayed at the Union Station Hotel and toured the Ryman Auditorium! Plus several bookstores.
Pikes Peak might be America’s most accessible fourteener. The drive to the top is exciting and the views are breathtaking!
Visit Santa’s Workshop at the North Pole at the base of Pikes Peak! Open from mid-May to Christmas Eve, it’s free just to walk around.
