In commemoration of the nationâs 250th anniversary of independence in 2026, this book explores what makes America distinctive from other countriesâ"its ideals, ingenuity, culture, and creativity. Through experiences at 250 places and events across the U.S., readers can discover the countryâs authentic attributes and inventions that inspire visitors worldwide. Rather than a historical timeline or collection of sites to visit, this book uses places to tell Americaâs story. Where to learn about the birth of jazz in New Orleans, how the first shopping mall changed our retail habits, how the chocolate chip cookie was invented in a Massachusetts restaurant, and where to explore the evolution of architectureâ"from Frank Lloyd Wrightâs Prairie Style to the modern skyscraper. Some places and events are well known, while others are quirky, off-the-beaten-path locations worth a detour. Our country was founded on revolutionary ideas; delve into this exploration of how to experience them still today across authentic America.

The book includes 100 photographs and directory information for all sites covered.
