Take a Day Trip Into History!!! Visiting the National Memorial Day Museum

A holiday meant to mourn and honor fallen soldiers has turned into a way to ring in summer each year. This holiday, of course, is Memorial Day.

The holiday of Memorial Day began after the Civil War as a way to honor the 750,000 lives lost to the war.

It has turned into a day to remember all those who have served and lost their lives since that conflict ended over 150 years ago.

As the host of The Historic Traveler blog, I wanted to highlight three of my favorite lesser-known historic gems: Taormina, Italy; Český Krumlov, Czech Republic; and Killarney, Ireland.
