From the heart of Tennessee to the edge of the Great Lakes, this 2016 road trip explores the diverse history, culture, and landscapes of the Mid-Atlantic and eastern U.S. Highlights include the music cities of Memphis, Nashville, and Knoxville, the coastal charm of Charleston and Myrtle Beach, and the historical weight of Washington, DC and Gettysburg. The journey continues through Pennsylvania’s rich interior — Harrisburg, Hershey, Lancaster, and State College — before heading north to Niagara Falls and west through Erie, Ashtabula, and a scenic bypass around Cleveland. A final stretch through Columbus and Dayton rounds out this unforgettable ride through American heritage.
