Which National Historic Landmark is closest to you?

[Bicoastal]

And have you ever been there? If not, would you consider doing it this summer?

To get you started, here's a handy dandy list by state, courtesy of Wikipedia.

Mine is the Brooklyn Heights Neighborhood, just a few blocks away...but I've always wanted to visit the Jackie Robinson House.

[av8rdave]

1. Probably the JFK assassinationn site

If that is in fact a "national historic landmark.: I have visited it - very solemn, very sad.

[yellowdogintexas]

48. Dealy Plaza, followed by the Exposition Center @ Fair Park

both in Dallas.

[av8rdave]

71. Been to all of them....

wouldn't be much excuse if I hadn't, after 20 years!

[PBS Poll-435]

87. Hello fellow Dallasite!

:toast:

[yellowdogintexas]

109. Fort Worther, actually ..hello back

:toast:

[av8rdave]

2. Probably the JFK assassinationn site

If that is in fact a "national historic landmark.: I have visited it - very solemn, very sad.

[bicentennial_baby]

3. I live within a mile of 5:

John Adams Birthplace
John Quincy Adams Birthplace
Crane Memorial Library
John Quincy House
United First Parish Church

:)

[LynneSin]

4. I'm not far from Valley Forge - about an hour drive

Plus I have all that historic stuff in Philadelphia

[Longhorn]

5. The Texas Governor's Mansion (which had a major fire a couple of week ago)

and the Texas State Capitol.

[PBS Poll-435]

88. (That Governor Goodhair set himself)

:tinfoilhat:

[mainegreen]

6. There are so many...

hard to say which might be technically closest but here are the ones a few blocks from me:

Neal S. Dow House - He was the Prohibition Party candidate for U.S. president in 1880.
The McLellan-Sweat Mansion - aka 'Sweat Mansion'. Pretty place.
Victoria Mansion - one of the finest and least-altered examples of a large Italianate Villa-styled brick and brownstone town house in the United States. (It's teh sex)
Portland Observatory - The LAST maritime signal tower in the United States.
Thomas Brackett Reed House - Another fancy pancy house.
The Wadsworth-Longfellow house - The house has both historical and literary importance, as it is both the oldest standing structure on the Portland peninsula and the childhood home of famous American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

Portland: It's a slice of the new england maritime victorian era frozen in time.

Sad to say, I've never done the Porland Observatory. Probably do it this summer.

[littlebit]

7. Guilford Courthouse

Battlefield. My Ex's parents use to live right across the street. We use to go for walks there all the time.

[Labors of Hercules]

120. I love GC. It's not big, but there's just something about it...

especially at dusk when the mist is out. ahhh.

[pokerfan]

8. Lolo Trail

[DS1]

9. Cushing House Museum and Garden

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cushing_House_Museum_and_Garden

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

10. The Guilford Court House Battlefield is right up the street from me.

[tinymontgomery]

23. Took my class there for a visit

two years ago, stepped off the bus and broke my right foot, right off the bat, I was the driver also. Still did the tour, sat on the bus not moving my foot while my chaperone wife walked the battlefield with them, then I did the 3 hour drive home then over to the hospital. Thank god for pain killers by that time.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

64. I have oh so much sympathy for you.

I sprained my ankle last October and the pain was so bad that I thought it was broken.I screamed in agony when I got hurt.I thought I could walk it off - oh no I was crying and on crutches.

[lost-in-nj]

11. The Great Falls of the Passaic River

according to that site anyway....



:hi:



lost

[JVS]

12. The place where my buddy puked after drinking only 3 beers.

It was a historic event. We left a marker and everything

[Whoa_Nelly]

13. Hearst Castle, San Simeon, CA

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearst_Castle

One of my pics of it on a foggy morning

[Bennyboy]

46. A couple of mine on a sunny day......

<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/bennyboy420/SfSouthOnHiway1/photo#5133121443495632034"><img src="" /></a>

<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/bennyboy420/SfSouthOnHiway1/photo#5133121641064127666"><img src="" /></a>

I love Hearst Castle. Really interesting place. All that stone and tile and the ideas.....

[evlbstrd]

14. The Truman Home in Independence

Liberty Memorial, the only WWI memorial
Oregon Trail
Santa Fe Trail

[northzax]

20. the only WWI memorial?

there is one on the Mall in dc, well hidden and poorly cared for, but it's there.

[evlbstrd]

42. Woops.

That's the way they bill it here.

[Art_from_Ark]

96. Truman boyhood home in Lamar

George Washington Carver home in Diamond, Missouri
Pea Ridge National Battlefield, Arkansas
Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park, Arkansas
Trail of Tears (US Highway 62), Arkansas/Oklahoma

[evlbstrd]

110. Howdy, neighbor.

[Richardo]

15. Tie: San Jacinto Battlefield Monument and Battleship USS Texas

They're right next to each other. Been there several times.

[bigwillq]

16. Quite a few in New Haven, CT

which is where I work, and only 10 miles from where I live.

[KamaAina]

17. I was just in this one last week

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Place



being reconfirmed to a state council. It is presently the governor's official residence, though she now actually lives in a new home built right behind it. Queen Lili'uokalani lived there, including a period under house arrest after the Overthrow. :grr:

Actually, Kawaiaha'o Church and Mission Houses Museum are closer to my house by a few blocks, and no, I have not been. :shrug:

edit: pix

[greatauntoftriplets]

18. This one. It's also my favorite Frank Lloyd Wright house.

http://www.heurtley.com/house/

[Chan790]

19. I can't tell...I've got a bunch rather equidistant from my house.

Oliver Wolcott House (Litchfield) - Home of the soldier and politician, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and Governor of Connecticut.

Austin F. Williams Carriagehouse and House (Farmington) - Temporary quarters for the Amistad Africans and "station" on the Underground Railroad.

Stanley-Whitman House (Farmington) - Classic seventeenth century New England saltbox.

Tapping Reeve House and Law School (Litchfield) - First law school in the United States separate from a college or university, its influential graduates included Aaron Burr and John C. Calhoun.

Litchfield Historic District - Typical 18th century New England town.

Hill-Stead (Farmington) - Colonial revival house and art museum located in the Farmington Historic District.

First Church Of Christ (Farmington) - Church of the Amistad freed slaves.

I've been to all of these places.

[GOPisEvil]

21. The Texas State Capitol is slightly closer to me than the Governor's Mansion.

[tinymontgomery]

22. Kings Mountain National Battlefield

Major turning point of the Revolutionary war. Second would be CowPens National Battlefield.

[Sequoia]

123. I've been there before.

[kentauros]

24. In Houston, the first thing I thought of

was the last surviving Saturn V Rocket Booster




Then I thought of the San Jacinto Monument in Stinkadena ('scuse me, Pasadena)




But the closest such place to where I currently live would be the Astrodome :D

[Xipe Totec]

62. Houston, We Have a Stadium Site… Buff Stadium

Finger Furniture Center, 4001 Gulf Freeway, Houston

This is probably the only furniture store in the world with a marker on the floor where a home plate used to be. That's because this is where Buff Stadium used to sit. Buff Stadium, built in 1928, opened as the home of the Texas League Houston Buffalos. Damaged by Hurricane Carla in 1961, it was sold at auction an for just $19,750 and was demolished in 1963. Then, the Finger Furniture Center was built and a plaque was laid at the exact spot where the old home plate was located. It's still there, as is a small sports museum, right in the store!




http://www.roadtripamerica.com/OnTheRoad/Baseball-Parks-Across-America.htm

[Kutjara]

25. Richard Nixon's birthplace.

It's about two miles up the road.

Try to contain your envy.

[sarge43]

26. Saint Gaudens National Memorial, NH.

Visited several times.

[Lil Missy]

27. Home of Warren Buffet, and Gerald Ford birthplace.

[elvisbear]

36. Pic of Buffet's home in Omaha.

[seemunkee]

28. Rachel Carson House Silver Spring, MD

Didn't realize her home was that close to me. I ride through the Rachel Carson Conservation area on my Sunday bike ride almost every week.

[whistler162]

29. Willard Memorial Chapel in Auburn NY

About 18 miles to the west.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willard_Memorial_Chapel-Welch_Memorial_Hall

But, the town also includes the William H. Seward house, Jethro Wood House(Inventor of the Cast Iron Plow) and Harriet Tubmans final home.

[fishwax]

30. about three miles away

The Morrow Plots and the Observatory at the University of Illinois--I go by both all the time, but I've never actually been inside the observatory ...

[skygazer]

31. The Santa Cruz Carousel and Roller Coaster probably

And 2 of my favorites. I love old carousels and roller coasters are my favorite rides. The Giant Dipper is over 75 years old, a great old wooden coaster on the beach.

Been there many times. :hi:

[bluedigger]

32. Hah! I win!

I am residing in the French Quarter, or Vieux Carre, in New Orleans, which is listed as a Landmark.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vieux_Carre_Historic_District

If I were at work I could tell you how far from the many various individual buildings I am to the meter. Of course, it helps to work in Section 106 compliance (Historic Preservation) for the feds!
;):rofl:

The closest one I visit with any regularity would be Jean Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lafitte%27s_Blacksmith_Shop

"Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop is a tavern located on the corner of Bourbon Street and St. Philip Street. The tavern's building, built sometime before 1772, is one of the older still standing structures in New Orleans (the Ursuline Convent, for example, is older) and has been called the oldest continually occupied bar in the United States. According to legend the structure was once owned by the pirate Jean Lafitte, though as with many things involving Lafitte, no documentation of this exists.

It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1970."

It's around the corner and four blocks or so down Bourbon Street.

:beer:

[MorningGlow]

41. OMG I am so totally jealous

I love, love, LOVE the French Quarter! Mr. MG and I used to go there every year before MG Jr. came along. By our second visit, we were calculating how we could move there.

My elder, a great psychic, told me I had spent at least one lifetime in New Orleans, as a quadroon "kept woman" who had four kids by a retired Confederate general. Considering my passion for the place, I see no reason not to believe it!

Enjoy your wonderful city! :hi:

[Bennyboy]

58. I am so jealous......

I love New Orleans and am thinking about moving there when my long nightmare is over. Not sure what I would do but I know I'd have a hell of a lot more fun that I have now.

[cemaphonic]

33. Closest is just some boring boat...

but my favorite in Washington is the site of the Pig War, a military confrontation between the US and Great Britain where the only casualty was the eponymous pig, and which was settled by the German Kaiser!

[mentalsolstice]

34. I live in a historic house in a Nat'l Historic District, does that count?

For a site, I guess it would be the 16th Street Baptist Church. I can't drive past it without getting lump in my throat, but I'm proud at how far my city has come in race relations since the bombing.

[Zavulon]

35. At my actual home, it's Montpelier Mansion.

See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montpelier_Mansion

At my girlfriend's, where I spend 90% of my time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Myer

[AccessGranted]

37. Statue of Liberty

Kinda cool.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

38. Washington's Crossing Park

Just above Lambertville, N.J and New Hope, PA.

http://www.ushistory.org/WashingtonCrossing/index.htm

[Reverend_Smitty]

39. There are 14 in my county alone...

Not sure which is closest to my actual home

Abbott Farm Historic District- Trenton
Grover Cleveland Home- Princeton
Albert Einstein House- Princeton
Joseph Henry House- Princeton
Lawrenceville School- Lawrenceville
Maybury Hill- Princeton
Morven- Princeton
Nassau Hall- Princeton
Old Barracks- Trenton
President's House (Princeton)
Princeton Battlefield
Prospect- Princeton
William Trent House- Trenton
Washington's Crossing- Titusville

All the one's in Trenton are about 5 miles away and the ones in Princeton are about 7-10 miles away in the other direction. I've been to the Lawrenceville School, Nassau Hall, Princeton Battlefield and Washington's Crossing. The rest of them are just kind of random houses that I'm sure I've driven past at some point in my life

[Bennyboy]

40. Folsom Powerhouse...I can see it from my house......

Benn there many times, now they are building a brazillion dollar visitors center there.

[MorningGlow]

43. Oh hell, this is NYS--we're just lousy with 'em!

I guess I'm closest to Geneseo's main street--although I had no idea it was on the landmark list. All I know is it's home to one of my favorite pizza places!

Also been to the George Eastman House and the Susan B. Anthony house in Rochester, and Niagara Falls too many times to count, plus hiked and camped in the Adirondacks lots of times and hope to do more when MG Jr. is a little older.

[ok_cpu]

44. McKinley National Memorial

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McKinley_Memorial_Mausoleum

Been there a bunch of times. Used to run, er, walk the steps.

[dropkickpa]

45. Allegheny County Courthouse and Jail

[femmocrat]

47. Bushy Run Battlefield (PA)

I'm surprised that is the only one in this area. Interesting!

[DarkTirade]

49. I pass by Ganondagan at least 4 days a week on my regular errands and whatnot.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganondagan_State_Historic_Site

[Initech]

50. Nixon Library

:puke:

[GRLMGC]

53. That place is funny

Have you ever been there? Hilarious revisionism.

[Initech]

78. Yes I have.

I wish I had gone to go throw a pie in O'Reilly's face when he did a book signing there a couple months ago.

[GRLMGC]

80. You should have

That place is a trip! My friends and I went as a joke and I guess we were a little too giggly for the lady working in the gift shop. She got annoyed. I mean, I understand but it's just hard for me to see these people taking the place so seriously. In any case, I WAS a paying customer. I ended up buying paper dolls!

[YellowRubberDuckie]

51. The Oklahoma City National Memorial is a block east of me.

[LeftyMom]

52. Sutter's Fort.

The other ones in Sacramento are the Stanford House, Old Sacramento and several individual buildings in Old Sac including the Pony Express terminal, which are okay but don't regularly get staffers to dress up like dorks like the docents at the fort.

[Bullwinkle925]

54. I'm surounded by 'em . . .

in the SF Bay Area -

Oakland/Alameda & SF!

[pink-o]

55. Me, too!

..The Coolest being Muir Woods, I think!

[bluesbassman]

84. Ever been to see the USS Hornet?

Amazing ship and story. My son and I got to do a "live aboard" weekend on it a while back. Great docents for the tours.

[XemaSab]

56. Here's some that are close:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunther_Island

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tule_Lake_War_Relocation_Center

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower_Klamath_National_Wildlife_Refuge

[PeaceNikki]

57. Wow!

I didn't know that Milwaukee City Hall was the world's tallest building from 1885-1899!!

[SoxFan]

59. Robert Frost Homestead

Derry, NH, about 10 miles south of here.

[zanne]

101. I visited that farm the day after they cut down the big tree...

I was only a day late--got there in time to see a big stump.

[Xipe Totec]

60. Boston - Nuff said

Well, maybe not enough said...

This is just a few blocks away from my house...

Suffolk Resolves House

Once the home of Daniel and Rachel Smith Vose, it long had stood at the present site of the Citizens Bank on Adams Street, in Milton Village. A commodious colonial house, it was referred to as the “Birthplace of American Liberty” when the Suffolk Resolves were ratified in the house in 1774, then were carried by courier Paul Revere to the Provincial Congress, and became a key influence in the development of our nation’s independence from England.




http://www.miltonhistoricalsociety.org/postcard1.html

[Flaxbee]

61. The Biltmore Estate and the Thomas Wolfe House in Asheville, NC

I'm about an hour southwest of A'ville...

[stuntcat]

76. *Jealousy*

It's one of the most beautiful places on the whole Earth.

[Starry Messenger]

63. Paramount Theater

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramount_Theater_%28Oakland%2C_California%29">here

not only did I see Tom Waits here, my graduation was held here so I got to see backstage.

MPK

[Bennyboy]

65. Oct 2,1976! Bruce Springsteen!

Man oh man. What an incredible night. I looked back at the balcony from the floor and it was moving up and down about 5 feet. You could really see it.

[greendog]

66. Going-to-the-Sun Road

[begin_within]

73. I'm planning to go there this September or October

Thanks for the splendid photos! You're lucky to live there.

[greendog]

75. September/October is normally the best time to visit Glacier.

Crowds are down and the weather is usually very nice.

[begin_within]

83. Any suggestions on good places to stay around there?

Or good places to eat? Must see/do? I'll have my Mom with me who is in a wheelchair, so that limits our activities to places that are accessible.
Thanks

[greendog]

111. A few random thoughts...

Bring a jacket. It'll be chilly in the mornings and evenings.

Bring binoculars if you can. Your chances of getting a good look at bears, elk, moose, goats, and bighorn sheep are better with binoculars.

There are some pretty nice lodges in the park. I think some are handicap accessible. They might close for the season in September so check in advance.

La Quinta Inn in Kalispell is handicap accessible (my folks stayed there a couple years ago and they liked it). There's a Super 8 in Columbia Falls (closer to the park - not sure if they have accessible rooms).

Belton Chalet (a historic landmark) in West Glacier is rumored to have a nice restaurant.

Many Glacier, on the east side of the park is a great place to look for grizzly bears. They like to forage up on the hills on the north side of the road. Sometimes they'll cross the road and go for a swim in the lake. Two Sisters Restaurant in Babb (near Many Glacier) is rumored to be good but I think they tend to close sometime in September.

Trail of the Cedars is wheelchair accessible (nice old growth cedar forest).

When you drive the road, take stuff to make sandwiches along the way. The food you'll get from the Park's official vendors is mediocre. Handicap accessible restrooms are available along the way in a few locations and marked on the park map. The restrooms at the Logan Pass Visitor Center are accessible via a lo-o-o-o-o-ng wheelchair ramp. You'll be able to park right next to all the other restrooms.

They've been doing some major re-construction on the road these past few years and sometimes they'll close a short section in the Fall. This means you'll have to drive from one side of the park to the other via US 2. Not a big deal. Marias Pass is a nice drive but it will take a lot longer and you'll have to do Going-To-The-Sun in two sections.

I hope this helps a little.

[begin_within]

112. Thanks!

[Diana Prince]

67. Pikes Peak

I live in Colorado Springs and it takes about 30 min. to get to the base of it.

I just looked online and found out the Air Force Academy was made into one in 2004. This is about 5 minutes from my house.

[Tektonik]

68. I'm closest to the Old Scripps Building

It's a mile away, if that.

[jobycom]

69. The Texas State Capitol or the Governor's Mansion, but the really under-rated one to me

is the Espada Aqueduct. It's not very big, and it's hidden down a little residential road, but if you studied the cultural interactions of Islam and Christendom in the Middle Ages, it is fascinating.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espada_Acequia

I'm surprised by how many of these I've been too.

[nytemare]

70. Heck, it used the be the Washington Memorial, now it is Disney World.

I've moved down in the world. Literally, and geographically.

[begin_within]

72. It's incorrectly listed as "San Diego Mission Church"

the correct name of it is "Mission Basilica San Diego de Alcalá" and it's about 3 miles from our house. I took my Mom there yesterday for Sunday mass. It was the first of the string of 21 California missions and it was started in 1769.

[Brigid]

74. Eugene V. Debs House

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_V._Debs_Home

[sakabatou]

77. The Pakard's Garage

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packard's_garage

[Connonym]

79. Ten Chimneys

I see the sign all the time but have never seen the house

[bluesbassman]

81. Tao House

I've lived around here all my life, and never knew this. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to learn something about my area Bicoastal!


From Wikipedia,

Tao House in spring. The Eugene O'Neill National Historic Site, located in Danville, California, preserves Tao House, the hillside home of America's only Nobel Prize-winning playwright, Eugene O'Neill, where he and his wife lived from 1937 to 1944. At this home, O'Neill wrote his final and most memorable plays: The Iceman Cometh, Long Day's Journey Into Night, and A Moon for the Misbegotten.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

82. Oooh, I'm in the mood for handy dandy.

Hmm... the Capitol building in Raleigh, North Cackalacky.

[unsavedtrash]

85. Within three miles of Foster's Auditorium

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foster_Auditorium

Very close to several others.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_National_Historic_Landmarks_in_Alabama

[ScreamingMeemie]

86. The Fox Theater in Detroit.

[HEyHEY]

89. As far as my country goes.... I'd say the IronWorkers memorial bridge

Or Pacific Central Station. As for your nation... Space Needle.

[Fox Mulder]

90. Sinclair Lewis's Boyhood Home in the town I'm living in...

here in Minnesota. :)

[CC]

91. I live on one of the original

Nottingham Lots even if it isn't on the list. Evans owned part of it and they were also the only other people that made Rolled Copper (Paul Revere was the other) during the Revolutionary War. There are lots of historic places around here but not one on the list you provided. Then again Maryland tends to forget we are part of the state more often than not. The Mason Dixon Line run about a half mile from my house and a few friends have markers on their property. With in an hour's drive of both Baltimore and Philadelphia and only two hours drive from DC so have seen a lot of Historic stuff in both. Then there is Valley Forge and Antietam, Gettysburg etc. Also have to include some favs from other states, Fort Bent in CO, Old New Castle in DE and St. Augustine in FL.

[csziggy]

92. Does a National Register of Historic Place count?

Hands down the best smoked sausage I have ever had.

http://www.bradleyscountrystore.com/

If not, then Mission San Luis de Apalachee (also known as San Luis de Talimali)

The picture is actually a re-creation of what the original may have looked like from archaeological clues.

My next favorite local National Register Place is the Carnegie Library on the campus of Florida A&M. The story I was told is that when Andrew Carnegie was going around giving away libraries, the worthies of Tallahassee turned him down because they would have to let everybody in. Tallahassee at that time had a private subscription lending library, the Library for the State Legislature and the library at the Florida Women's College (now Florida State University). So they saw no need for a library where everyone in the community could access books.

Andrew Carnegie disagreed and gave his library to then all black university. Tallahassee/Leon County Florida did not get a real public library until the 1950s due to the prejudice of the "leading" citizens....

[galledgoblin]

93. 6 in Albany, NY

the state capitol building is just a couple blocks away.

[newmajority]

94. Nice thread, Osama!

Making a list of terra targets, are you? :nuke:






























































(I really don't need the :sarcasm: thing here, do I? :evilgrin: )

[Yukari Yakumo]

95. Charles M. Russell House and Studio {nt}

uguu

[YankeyMCC]

97. Closest and most familiar to everyone would be Lexington Green

where the shot was heard round the world.

But as someone else on the thread noted - Boston - nuff said. I'm outside Boston close enough that I often ride my bike past the Lexington Green and other spots along the Battle Road including the Jason Russel house.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Russell_House

[madrchsod]

98. ronny reagan`s house

about a mile and half from my home.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

99. Site of the Raisin River Massacre

Like most areas, this area is littered with historic buildings. But the Raisin River massacre was an interesting catastrophe in the War of 1812. Not a good outcome for the U.S., especially bad for Kentucky militia. Bad enough they had to winter in Michigan. Losing their scalps was just icing on the cake.

Another site in the area, the Rouge Plant complex, site of the Battle of the Overpass between union organizers and Ford "security". More cracked scalps.

:hi:

[RebelOne]

100. It's not in the Wikipedia list, but I live

just a few miles away from Kennesaw Mountain in Georgia. It's a historical Civil War site.

[LibraLiz1973]

102. The Liberty Bell

& a few others

[BulletproofLandshark]

103. The Strasburg Historic District in Strasburg,VA

It's half of my town, basically.

[Phillycat]

104. In Philadelphia? I think we have a couple around here somewhere...

:D

[Burma Jones]

105. The Gaithersburg Latitude Observatory

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaithersburg_Latitude_Observatory


I used to live about 70 yards from another one, the Old Main building at Knox College, Galesburg, IL:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Main%2C_Knox_College

[Rosie1223]

106. The Lincoln sites in Springfield, IL

The new Lincoln Presidential Library is great if anyone is in the neighborhood.

[PVnRT]

107. The Eugene V. Debs home

[bertha katzenengel]

108. Live closest to St. Mary's City Historic District.

Work closest to Ford's Theatre.

[WinkyDink]

113. Equidistant from Statue of Liberty and Liberty Bell.

[From The Ashes]

114. The Alamo...

...downtown San Antonio. I've been here almost a year. Still haven't seen it. :shrug:

[Saphire]

115. The Alamo....been there many times.

[ForrestGump]

116. Wayne Newton

Actually, Hoover Dam.

[raptor_rider]

117. Shiprock, Aztec Ruins, 4 Corners point

Salmon Ruins, Aztec UFO Site, just a few.

[fight4my3sons]

118. I would have to say that Fort Popham is mine (not on that list)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Popham

It's only about 4 miles from where we live. Fort Baldwin is right across from it and we got there all the time. My kids love exploring the forts.

[One_Life_To_Give]

119. Not on the List, Old North Bridge

Old North Bridge is in the Minuteman National Park. Site where on April 19th 1775 the Militia (Minutemen) were given the order to open fire and turned back the British Regulars advance.

[Lyric]

121. This one:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Wade_House

[Sequoia]

122. Fort Ross, CA

[ceile]

124. State Capital and the Gov.'s mansion

well, what's left of the Gov.'s mansion.

[noonwitch]

125. The Fox Theater, the Guardian Building

As far as parks go, Sleeping Bear Dunes and Isle Royal.
