Washable US presidents placemat for history buffs

For all history fans this U.S. presidents placemat is washable and has color portraits of all the U.S. presidents.

Your family can draw on it and it easily washes off. If you have a lot of history items in your house, like I do, it's a must have.

The placemat helps anyone see all of the men who were in the executive office. I love it because I can never remember the order and the years of each person in office.

Best destinations for history buffs

http://www.10best.com/awards/travel/best-destination-for-history-buffs/

I just saw this article on the top 10 destinations for history buffs.  I've did my history road trip to each destination except Montogomery, Alabama.

My favorite travel destinations are probably Boston and Philadelphia.  You can go to each city in the morning and spend your whole day just walking through the city just seeing historical sites all day. Most of the historical sites are located close together also.  I like Gettysburg except its getting a little too commercialized.

Top US Landmarks

I just love travelling the country and I have most of these places in person.  I don't like to relax on vacation.  I just like to see as many museums and historical sites as I can see in a day.  Who knows if you will ever get back there.

Anietam battlefield

I have visited Antietam battlefield.many times.  Gettysburg and Antietam battlefields are the closest battlefields to my Ohio house. Its a lot less commercialized than Gettysburg, so I find its easier to imagine the Civil War battle there with a lot less traffic and tourist buildings.  It was an important battle.  The outcome helped Lincoln issue the Emancipation Proclamation.

Presidential libraries video

This is an interesting video that goes into the history of presidential libraries.  I've been to many presidential libraries and homes.  They are always fascinating places to visit.  The libraries are always full of information of artifacts from their term in office.  The tours of the presidential homes are a great place to learn a history of the president and his family.  The docents usually give an entertaining  and knowledgeable tour of the significance of each room on that presidential home.
