 Author did not get to those places yet either April 28, 2008

If she had, she never would've lumped the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village into a category labeled AUTO MUSEUMS. It deserves a full, explanatory entry. Ms. Schultz is probably unaware that Henry Ford purchased and moved buildings such as the Wright Brothers' bicycle shop, Thomas Edison's Menlo Park laboratory, Stephen Foster's house, Noah Webster's house, and so many more to Dearborn, Michigan. Lincoln's Illinois courthouse used to feature his chair from the Ford Theater (it has been moved into the Henry Ford museum). The Henry Ford museum does offer an incredible collection of automobiles but also so much more. I definately would've made different choices than Ms. Schultz. In this book and in her 1,000 Places to See in the World, she gives Shelburne Farm in Vermont a full entry. Shelburne Farm is a nice, living history museum but it does not compare to Greenfield Village. Now I wonder if her other recommendations are worthwhile. I have both books. I understand some places would get missed, but I definately would've make many different choices.

This was a great addition to our library. Now that our children are old enough to enjoy and get something out of vacations, we will be using this more often. It's a great way to have the kids help choose the next destination-adventure.
Good book April 2, 2008

I tend to be very cautious about traveling in the US especially when I heard that California is in the top 15 most dangerous states in the US but this book helps me pinpoint where I want to go. I feel that if it's in the book, it must be safe enough to visit.
Great ideas! February 22, 2008

This book has some great ideas for planning vacations or looking for things to do in a place you are already planning to visit. Lots of fun!

I received the "1,000 Places to See Before You Die" book for a gift and bought this one as a whim. I am very glad I did there is a lot of amazing sites in North America that I was unaware of and now I can not wait to go explore them. I have already planned to visit a few of the places mentioned. The book has good, through information on each site and offers places that appeal to all travelers. It is definitely an awesome book to have if you love to travel.
