If you’re a fan of American literature, you may already know the area is also home of American novelist Herman Melville, who is most known for his book The Whale, aka Moby Dick. Visitors can tour the Herman Melville Arrowhead Museum and surrounding grounds and trails.

Calling all Hamilton fans! Schuyler Mansion State Historic Site is located in Albany, New York, and was the venue of Elizabeth Schuyler and Alexander Hamilton’s wedding in 1780. Tours are available by reservation only and topics include the American Revolution.
