Americana the Beautiful

The goal:
Visit all 50 States

Map progress, share your travel tips, & find ideas for your own journeys.

Celebrate agriculture, traditions, and the wacky with fried food and parades.

Discover and uncover Americana the Beautiful. Fun, funny, and a bit of history woven in so surreptitiously you won’t even notice!

I sent this to a Harley Biker couple that I know, and now they want to go here as part of his 70th birthday celebration in October. So, thanks much.
I want to go there now too! (And I totally understand the request to talk in “girl.”) re: Crayola Experience
I’m loving your posts and wishing that I were with you in these escapades. I don’t know how you are finding these unusual but interesting places to visit.
Thank you for this post. This museum is now a must-see on my travel list. Partially because of the nearly endless peels of laughter generated by the farts exhibit! Laughter is good for the soul and I’m up for increasing my quotient! re: American Visionary Art Museum
It is amazing what I care about through your eyes! Normally I would not read about the Battle of [Gettysburg], but you made the experience so…human! 🙂
You make history fun and interesting … thanks for learning us. re: Harriet Tubman Organization
Interesting. Never knew I’d actually care about such an instrument. As always, you bring such color and meaning to things we all take for granted or never knew to care about. Keep ’em coming! re: Kazoos
