Summary

One-Day Trip Books make the familiar seem new and fascinating. Whether you're a visitor or a resident, you'll find interesting, fun-filled places to visit on a day's excursion, whatever your age, income, and interests. Directions, admission details, and telephone numbers are included for each site, and calendars list special events.

This favorite of parents and teachers is organized chronologically from prehistory to modern times. Days of fun and education will take you to prehistoric artifacts that you can handle, a colonial kitchen where you can help with the work, an authentic whiskey still, or a famous WWII submarine.
