Lincoln Home National Historic Site

"Claimed as their own by both democrats and republicans, Abraham Lincoln saved the Union and reshaped our Republic. Under Lincoln, slavery was abolished, and the United States of America took a huge step toward equality for all. The National Park Service maintains and preserves the home of Lincoln so that visitors can see where the 16th (and arguably one of the most important) presidents lived. Located in downtown Springfield, the home has been open to the public since 1887 and continues to allow visitors to take tours through the 12-bedroom house." [Travel+Leisure]

Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail

"Many know the story of Lewis and Clark but are unaware that the tale involved so much more than these two pioneers. The Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail, which stretches across the north-central and northwestern part of the country toward the Pacific Ocean, beckons visitors to walk the path of many women and men alike, including servicemen, scientists, and Native Americans. The trail can be followed by car, bicycle, or boat, as many roads parallel the route and are marked accordingly." [Travel+Leisure]
