I’ve visited a lot of supposedly haunted places ov I’ve visited a lot of supposedly haunted places over the years, but these are seven I’d absolutely go back to.

📍Fort Mifflin, Philadelphia, PA: The fort saw death during the Revolutionary War and later served as a Civil War prison, so there are plenty of stories from both eras.

📍Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary, Petros, TN: This former prison is often called one of the most haunted prisons in America. It was known as the “End of the Line” and “Hell on Earth” because of its brutal 113-year history.

📍Hales Bar Dam & Powerhouse, Guild, TN: The old powerhouse and especially its tunnels have a reputation for some seriously creepy activity.

📍Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, Weston, WV: Opened to patients in 1864 and operated until 1994, this massive former psychiatric hospital is now considered one of West Virginia’s most haunted places.

📍 Wyoming Territorial Prison, Laramie, WY: One of Wyoming’s oldest buildings, this site served first as a federal prison and later as a state prison.

📍Cape Henlopen, Lewes, DE: Tower 12, a World War II spotting tower, is said to be the most haunted part of the park.

📍Valley Forge, King of Prussia, PA: The Continental Army spent the winter here during the Revolutionary War, and stories of phantom soldiers are part of the site's haunted history.

I have to admit, I don't really like Walmart. But I have to admit, I don't really like Walmart. But as full-time RVers, who spend a lot of time in small towns, we've gotten used to shopping there. So when we visited Bentonville, AR and saw that there was a Walmart Museum, we had to check it out. And it actually turned out to be a pretty fun little museum.

The Walmart Museum is housed in Walton's 5 & 10, the original Bentonville store where Sam Walton started building what would eventually become Walmart. Inside you'll find old products and advertisements, memorabilia, Sam Walton's pickup truck and office, and some genuinely weird and fun pieces of Walmart history.

It's also completely free, which makes it an especially easy stop if you're exploring Bentonville.

The museum definitely tells Walmart's version of its own history, which is worth keeping in mind as you walk through it, but even if you're not a Walmart person, I think there's enough interesting history and nostalgia here to make it worth an hour or so.

I've got more photos, history, and details about visiting in the full post, but in the meantime, save this for your next trip to Bentonville. Because yes, there really is a Walmart museum.

Another travel day, another new state! Today we’re Another travel day, another new state! Today we’re moving our house on wheels 160 miles from Woodford, Vermont, to Tamworth, New Hampshire. If you’re new here, we’re Josh and Jen, and we’ve been living full-time in our 30-foot travel trailer for almost three years, along with our cat Betsey and our snake Orin.

This fall we’re spending a lot of time exploring New England and the Northwest, and both Vermont and New Hampshire were completely new states for us. By the time we finish this trip, we’ll each have visited 44 states, which feels pretty wild considering this all started with us deciding to move into a travel trailer full time.

Travel days aren't always the most exciting part of RV life, but moving our entire house 160 miles definitely makes for an interesting day.

One of the Best FREE Things to Do at Niagara Falls One of the Best FREE Things to Do at Niagara Falls

If you're visiting Niagara Falls, don't skip the Niagara Power Vista Visitor Center! It's completely free and is a surprisingly fun way to learn about the massive amount of energy and power being generated by the Niagara River.

The visitor center has tons of interactive exhibits and games where you can learn how hydroelectric power works, experiment with electricity, and explore the history of Niagara's role in power generation. And even if you're not particularly interested in energy, there's a great scenic overlook where you can look out over the Niagara River and the surrounding area.
