While in Pa. we went to Johnstown where the famous Johnstown Flood occured in the late 1800's.The pictures are of a home that was up the hill from where the dam that caused the flood occured. Behind the dam was a lake that totally disappeared with a wall of water almost 60 ft high that wiped out the town of Johnstown with over 2,000 dead as a result If you look on the internet under google Johnstown Flood. there are several pictures of the aftermath of the flood.
While we were in Pa. we visited Flight 93 memorial very moving They are renovating the site as they made it a national park site.They were in the process of building a visitor center.At this point in time you cannt approach the spot where the plane went down but will have a road and path going arount the impact site.

We went to an area called Laural Valley which is south of New Orleans where there are several plantations including the one where Bre'r Rabbit was taken from (uncle Remus). Also an area where the remains of a plantation exists.With 60+ slave quarter housing remains at one point they were used as a WWII camp for German POW'S.
