We aren't doing a big family vacation this year.  We're staying around the area.  We did want to find some things to do that wouldn't take us far from home.  Check out these historical landmarks that are a close drive.  Some you might never have noticed before.  We're doing a history hop next weekend to see how many we can visit in one day!  Print this list and let's go exploring!
