Washington: Klondike Gold Rush - Seattle Unit National Historical Park

I have a new state to tell you about.  Last year in April 2019, I went to Washington state to see my sister graduate from college.

We went to Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park.  The visitor center was very interesting.  They have a video that talks about the gold rush.  Learn about the trail and the town in Alaska.  Seattle is the place where you could buy all your supplies before heading up there.  I found out there was quite a few women went on this trail.  One of the men that did this was the owner of Nordstrom.

There were great pictures to look at.  Rooms that had stuff that they bought for their travels.

Virginia: Colonial National Historical Park - Jamestown

I went to one of the Colonial Historical Parks and that was Jamestown.  It was cool to see all the buildings and the boats.  It was interesting on how they lived.

Texas: San Antonio Missions National Historical Park

Seeing the Missions in Texas was pretty cool.  I would like to go back to San Antonio, TX.  They was a lot of history there.

Pennsylvania: Valley Forge National Historical Park

Valley Forge National Historical Park was a add on to our trip.  I didn't know this park was here.  It was beautiful.  We got there when the visitor center was closed but the park was still open.  I got a flyer and walked around.  Valley Forge was the site of the 1777-78 winter encampment of the Continental Army.

Pennsylvania: Independence National Historical Park

Independence National Historical Park was awesome.  See the Independence Hall, Liberty Bell, and Ben Franklin Museum.

I would go see it all again.  Just in this neighborhood you can see so many places.  We took a train and subway to go there.  It drops you right there.
