Historic Towns Of America Timeline:

October 2019 - Historic Towns

Historic Towns Of America was established in October 2019 during our very first historic excursion to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.


The idea of our travel discovery website came about when exploring Gettysburg and falling in love with its history. 


We decided then and there, we wanted to do our part to help expand the education and awareness of American history. 

March 2020 - Oldest Places

During our excursions of America's most historic towns, we discovered that these towns were also home to some of the oldest sites in the Nation. 


As a result, we expanded our brand to include the oldest places in America. 


The Pennypack Creek Bridge in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (America's oldest bridge) was officially the first oldest site we documented.
