Many historic sites and museums are enacting new visitation guidelines and hours. We encourage you to check directly with sites for up-to-date information if you are planning a visit.
National Trust Distinctive Destinations are a group of diverse historic sites across the country that help illustrate the breadth and depth of the American story. From house museums to working farms, these places will add memorable moments to your off-the-beaten-path road trip, create new opportunities for a family vacation, or even become your new favorite gift shop.
