Itinerary
LOUISVILLE | Kentucky
Named after King Louis XVI of France, Louisville is best known for 'The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports.' The famed Kentucky Derby is the first leg of the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing.
MADISON | Indiana
This colorful, once bustling river port, known as the '19th-century Williamsburg of America,' is a veritable who's who of historic places and intriguing Federal and Greek Revival-style architecture.
CINCINNATI | Ohio
With the largest collection of nineteenth-century Italianate architecture in the country, primarily concentrated in the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood, you can see one National Historic Site after another.
MAYSVILLE | Kentucky
Stand in a home that gave refuge to more than 2,000 runaway slaves and explore an authentic 1790s log cabin, home to intrepid Ohio Valley pioneers. The picturesque city skyline punctuated by a gilded cupola and lofty steeples is one you won't soon forget.
POINT PLEASANT | West Virginia
As local legend would have it, bizarre happenings in Point Pleasant foreshadowed the tragic collapse of the Silver Bridge in 1967. The book and movie, The Mothman Prophecies, is based on the havoc wreaked by alleged moth-like creatures found in this region.
MARIETTA | Ohio
A young George Washington was one of the first Americans to sing the praises of the town named after Marie Antoinette. The Queen of France was celebrated for aiding the young country in its battle for independence against Great Britain.
WHEELING | West Virginia
Perhaps the most memorable feature of this Ohio River city with a charming Victorian center is its dramatic suspension bridge-once the longest in the world.
PITTSBURGH | Pennsylvania
Beautifully situated on the Allegheny, Ohio and Monongahela rivers, Pittsburgh grew into a world-class city rich with old money and new ideas. The largest inland port in the U.S. was home, after all, to Andrew Carnegie, Andy Warhol and Rachel Carson.
