The Historic Traveler Archives A Collection of Great Articles to Take You There
"All Quiet on the Northern Plains" At North Dakota's Knife River Indian Villages you can glimpse a long-vanished way of life. "America's 25 Essential Historic Sites" History's Top Landmarks "As Old as the Hills" Man-made hills shaped like bears, birds, a snake or simply round or oval can be found in at least 17 states from Florida to West Virginia to Minnesota to Texas. "Bad King Herod" Israel is just over half a century old, so it is a relatively young country. But visitors there can find traces of events that occurred in the region some 2,000 years ago, when Herod was King of Judea. "Born a Slave" The life and times of Frederick Douglass "The Cigar Capital of the World" Ybor City, Florida "East Meets West" Discovery why some of Montana's history was written in Chinese. "A Highway Up from Darkness" On the road to civil rights. "Humble Beginnings" New York City's Tenement Museum: A place born of necessity becomes a place to remember the troubled times of the past. "Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania" Folks in Carbon County, Pennsylvania, don't lightly throw anything away, it seems. It may just be obsessiveness, but I think there's more to it—it's a recognition that even dusty old objects have value if you know where to look. "John Smith's Virginia Village" Inside Colonial Jamestown "North Carolina's Native Heritage" Cherokee in the Smokey Mountains "St. Augustine" As one shopkeeper pointed out, "St. Augustine was founded when Shakespeare was but a suckling babe." "Trail of Battles" Traveling the Nez Perce National Historic Trail. "Virginia City" If the words Ponderosa and Bonanza sound familiar, chances are you know this Nevada town.
