Within the founding of any nation, there are a series of important events that stand out particularly as “history in the making.” This is especially true in the United States, which began over 200 years ago in totally virgin territory. No nation had ever been founded on the same principles, which appeared to some to be highly experimental. But it all worked. Today, you can stand in the room where American Independence was declared and imagine the courage and power these men felt, believing they were changing the world for the better. You can experience the silence of the battlefield where a monstrous battle determined the course of the Civil War and the future of the United States. Try to envision the cannons, chaos and carnage while the battle raged at Gettysburg. You can walk the streets that George Washington trod as a Virginia farmer and feel the pride of this little colonial town when he became President. Further south in Virginia, you can stand on the street corner where three of America’s founding fathers stopped to greet each other as lawyers long before each became President of the United States and visit Monticello, Thomas Jefferson’s home that has been declared a World Heritage treasure.
The more rural parts of your trip will be complemented by visits to New York, Philadelphia and Washington, DC, three of America’s premier cities, where history is a very integral part of modern life, and Colonial Williamsburg, which is history itself. Visit all this and more in one trip though the most historic region of the United States. Experience the momentous events, triumphs and wonders that shaped American history. As you travel through this amazing region, you’ll find the drives are short and pleasant and the scenery is beautiful. It’s a great way to put America’s most important history into perspective.
