State: Florida
Beautiful Place? Ca d’Zan
This glittering residence happens to be inspired by the palazzos of Venice and was built in the Venetian-Gothic style sometime during the Roaring Twenties. It used to be the home of notorious circus master John Ringling and his family.
The eccentric ring leader lived here right up until he died in 1936. Since then, this house has been donated to the state of Florida and has undergone many extensive renovations.
Today visitors can enjoy tours of the elaborate space, peering into private bedrooms and lavish communal areas. You can also walk the grounds and drink in the tile-embellished terra cotta façade too.
None of these are in my state. I was looking forward to seeing 11 beautiful places I did not know were in my state. Maryland!
I’ve been at White Sands National Park 2 times. I’m from Illinois so driving on the roads through there, it was like driving after a big snow storm. The sand dunes are very high. We had snow saucers. We had to wax them up real good then we went down like we were on snow. Beautiful… God made!!!
I haven’t been to any of those beautiful places, but you can bet my wife and I are ready to go to some of them anytime now. Thanks so much for the education.
my state did not make the list . my city there is nothing to do here.
