Trip: 9
(Rain and fog didn't dampen the trip.)
Visited from Jun 6, 2023 to Jun 23, 2023
(Group 4)
This was my most ambitious trip to date, taking in 19 sites. To be fair, three of them are within 5 miles of the others in Hyde Park, NY, while three others consist of various "parks" along the Delaware River in northern Pennsylvania.
Several houses played centerpiece to many sites including one where a President was inaugurated, two for a President and his wife, one for a millionaire and two others.
There was probably a lot of great scenery in Maine, but rain and fog obscured much of it for me. And a few sites satisfied my history interest.
