10. Fort Jefferson in Key West, Florida.
What has 16 million bricks and sits in the middle of stunning blue waters? Fort Jefferson in Key West! It’s the biggest masonry structure in the United States, situated around 70 miles west of Key West yet despite that, it remains unfinished.
The juxtaposition of the glistening water and the haunting sight of the unfinished fortress makes this the perfect destination for fans of the uncanny and bizarre.
Join a 45- to 60-minute guided tour to learn about the fort’s history, both rich and cut short. Most surprisingly of all is the fact that up to 2,000 people lived within this remote city on the sea at one point!

I have recently moved to Tennessee and am constantly awed by its beauty!!
they are all incredible!
I visited the Byodo In Temple in Hawaii 3 or 4 times. Very peaceful place.
Also made it the Chapel in Arkansas, another peaceful, serene place.
Tho I didn’t see the cave, I saw the Mendenhall glacier area twice.
Wish I had known about a few of the other places listed as we were in some of the other States.

Been there years ago. Worth going!
Unfortunately I’ve been to a small number of these sites. The Temple in Hawaii was really impressive to me and my dear lady. Thanks.
