State: Delaware
Beautiful Place? Fort Delaware
This beautiful place is a Union fortress that dates back to 1859. Fort Delaware is where Confederate prisoners of war were once housed.
You can get to the fort and its Confederate prison from Delaware City by a short ferry ride, and the moment you arrive, you’ll be taken back in time!
You can see the granite and brick fortress and be welcomed by tour guides that are dressed in period costumes and whose tales about life in Delaware during the Civil War will make you feel like you went back to 1864.
If you’re a fan of American history, you’ll appreciate the attention to detail in these Civil War battle re-enactments they have here.

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!!!
