"Hey Dad, want to go on a road trip?" asks my 29 yo daughter.... "Heck ya!!", I promptly replied.
So I'm planning a trip for 6/17 to 6/26 and could use a little help... I'm looking for a specific plantation and also some things other than CW related that she might enjoy more.
We'll start at Starved Rock SP off of I80 and end the first day near the Cahokia mounds.
Next day I want to see St Genevieve and will continue to Memphis. Graceland maybe.
Next day takes us to Vicksburg.... her idea!!
Then we'll wander down to New Orleans.
She has a librarian conference there and will fly home. I will wander back to Michigan on my own.
Here's info on the plantation I'm interested in... a few years ago I saw a presentation on CSPAN by the guy who had recently purchased it. He put a ton of money in it and the focus is the slave's experience. I'll bet someone out there know's exactly which one I'm referring to.
