Top 10 Historical Vacations

You're here: Home : Top 10 : Top 10 Historical Vacations

As far as we know, they haven't invented a reliable time machine yet. But here's the next best thing! For a trip that takes you back - in some cases, waaay back - check out our Top 10 Historical Vacations!

Top Ten Number 1

Black Hills, South Dakota

Let the allure of natural history take you to S. Dakota where ancient fossils and Paleolithic drawings were left behind to tell us who the artists and animals were. After some great museums it will be easy for you to paint an imaginary picture of what the world was like for its inhabitants… Learn More

Top Ten Number 2

The Oregon Trail

This isn’t the Oregon Trail of video games. This is 2,000 miles of prairies to cross, mountains to scale and rivers to forge. Whether you want to road-trip through the trail or get an up-close and personal look at pioneer life, the Oregon Trail offers a top historical vacation! Learn More

Top Ten Number 3

Tulum Mayan Ruins, Mexico

For those with a taste for ancient history, Mexico’s Tulum ruins offer it up in heaping doses. Not only is this Mayan community well-preserved, but its location on a bluff overlooking the Caribbean creates a two-fold delight for the eyes. Learn More

Top Ten Number 4

Quebec City, Quebec

Quebec is celebrating its 400th anniversary in 2008, featuring the oldest city fortifications extant above the Mexican border. No wonder it was been labeled a world heritage site by UNESCO (the United Nations). This was the site of a fortified outpost built by Jacques Cartier… Learn More

Top Ten Number 5

Klondike Gold Rush Trail, Alaska

If you came to the Klondike during the Gold Rush, you would probably be one of the 100,000 men searching for their fortune; today, you can still share in this experience! It has been wonderfully preserved for you and your family to enjoy. Learn More

Top Ten Number 6

Taos Pueblo, New Mexico

There’s the archeological type of history that you can read in a book. And then there’s the other kind - real, living history that you can see today. That’s what you’ll find at Taos Pueblo, the oldest continuously inhabited community in North America. Learn More

Top Ten Number 7

The Naha Stone, Big Island, Hawaii

If you were just passing by, you might think it’s a large rock sitting in front of the Hilo Public Library on Hawaii’s Big Island. But the Naha Stone symbolizes - many believe it’s directly a part of - a long stretch of the Hawaiian Islands’ tumultuous history. Learn More

Top Ten Number 8

Selma to Montgomery Trail, Alabama

Commemorate one of the last great U.S. grassroots campaigns of our time by traveling the Selma to Montgomery National Historic Trail. Retrace the Civil Rights March with the 54-mile trek at Brown Chapel A.M.E. Church in Selma and at the State Capitol in Montgomery. Learn More

Top Ten Number 9

Kennedy Space Center, Florida

We think the calm, oceanic environs of Merritt Island are ideal for launching space shuttles. NASA, who knows best, agrees! At NASA’s Kennedy Space Center you can reflect on the impact of the space race era and examine its influence on the post-modern world—and also say… Learn More

Top Ten Number 10

Fort Ticonderoga, New York

Re-enactments, educational programs about its rich past and important American artifact collections from the colonial wars make the national historic landmark of Fort Ticonderoga a destination for history buffs, families and rugged Adirondack adventurers! Learn More
