Item: David Wills House
Location: 6 Lincoln Square, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
by Lacie
Review: A few years ago I visited the David Wills House in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Though the museum has since expanded, it consisted of a few Victorian rooms, the Lincoln Room (made it look as it did when President Abraham Lincoln stayed there in November 1863) […]

Review: Although I usually enjoy every museum I visit during my trips to St. Augustine, Florida, I wasn’t impressed with the Government House Museum. The museum area isn’t exceedingly small but there isn’t much to see and do despite the nice look of the […]

Item: General Lee’s Headquarters
Location: 401 Buford Avenue, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
by Lacie
Review: When I visited General Lee’s Headquarters in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania a few years ago, I had mixed feelings. Though the quaint stone building is quite beautiful and eye-catching, the museum itself is small, so at first I wasn’t sure if it was worth the trip. […]

Item: Soldiers’ National Cemetery
Location: Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
by Lacie
Review: It seems strange that a place like Gettysburg, full of war, strife, and contention, should have a peaceful haven like the Soldiers’ National Cemetery. Despite the circumstances of the horrible battle of July 1863, the place where Union soldiers found their eternal rest is a calm and […]

Item: St. Augustine Visitor Information Center
Location: Just off Castillo Drive, St. Augustine, Florida

Review: The St. Augustine Visitor Information Center changed drastically between the fourth and fifth times I visited the city; it was once crowded, full of pamphlets and coupons of all kinds, a huge Spanish galleon replica, and many brochures for visitors. […]

Item: Kennedy Space Center
Location: Titusville, Florida
by Lacie
Review: When a trip to the NASA center in Titusville was discussed, I immediately contested it. I wasn’t interested in anything space-related and thought it would be a boring day, but I was very wrong! Even for someone who has no knowledge of NASA, space travel, or the […]

Item: Disney World
Location: Orlando, Florida

Review: When I was just starting to cultivate an interest in colonial history, I enjoyed a visit to Ephrata Cloister in Ephrata, PA.
