A vast majority of historic sites in Washington DC are dedicated to men in history.

In this episode you&#39;ll hear from Kaitlin Calogera &amp; Rebecca Grawl, authors of the book <a href="https://www.111places.com/111-places-in-womens-history-in-washingtondc">111 Places in Woman&#39;s History in Washington, DC That You Must Not Miss</a>. Kaitlin and Rebecca are professional tour guides and entrepreneurs. The mission of their company <a href="https://www.atourofherown.com/">A Tour of Her Own</a> is to elevate women’s stories into a more prominent place in American history and culture.

A Complete Guide To Stonehenge

On episode 76, we travel to the Manzanar National Historic Site. This is a part 2 to our prior podcast where we took you to <a href="https://theplaceswherewego.podbean.com/e/lone-pine/">Lone Pine California</a>.
In 1942, the United States government ordered more than 110,000 men, women, and children to leave their homes and detained them in remote, military-style camps. Manzanar War Relocation Center was one of ten camps where the US government incarcerated Japanese immigrants ineligible for citizenship and Japanese American citizens during World War II.
Today, <a href="https://www.nps.gov/manz/index.htm">Manzanar National Historic Site</a> provides an opportunity to learn about the experience of over 10,000 Japanese Americans who spent all or part of World War II at Manzanar.   
Visiting Manzanar
Among the highlights on this episode, we&#39;ll take you through what we see and our impressions in both the visitor center (actually more of a museum).  We also spent many hours on the grounds visiting each of the stops that are available for visitors.

UNESCO World Heritage Sites You Must Visit

We like it when things go according to plan. Even when it comes to death, we long to have some semblance of control over our path. So when those best-laid plans are disrupted by the unexpected, it’s only natural to assume the worst.————————————Episode Resources:<li>
