Historical Site or Center

Visit a local historical site or historic house. Each learn one story you didn't know.

Visit a local history center, historic house or landmark. Read the plaques, ask a docent a question, and each hunt for one story about the place you didn't know before. On the way home, tell each other your favorite. The photo to get: the two of you in the oldest-looking doorway you can find.

More about this mission

Almost every town has more history than you'd think. The National Register of Historic Places lists tens of thousands of buildings and sites across the country, and the Historical Marker Database (hmdb.org) maps roadside markers near you.

Docents and volunteers usually know the best stories that aren't on the signs, so it's worth asking, "What's your favorite thing about this place?"
