History has always been one of my passions. When traveling, I generally look for places of historial significance.
Do It Yourself RV has an interesting article on six best places of presidential interest. Some are presidential libraries and museums and some are homes. Of the six items listed, I've been to three of them.

If you’re limited on time, pick one of these and rest easy knowing you absolutely cannot go wrong with any option on this list.
