Want to know more about the places you can visit while studying Notgrass History? Check out this field trip guide for Notgrass History.
It’s not a secret that we absolutely LOVE Notgrass History. This past year studying America the Beautiful has been SO much fun! We are eagerly awaiting the study of From Adam to Us next year.
Another thing that our family loves is field trips. As we have gone through America the Beautiful this year we have been making a list of amazing sites we actually want to go see someday. Many locations we had never heard of until America the Beautiful. In anticipation of next years study I have been planning ahead and doing the same with Uncle Sam and Me.
In creating this list I thought that many of YOU may also want to know more about the places you can visit while studying Notgrass. So, I created this field trip guide for Notgrass History for YOU.
A few things to consider while looking over this guide:
- I am listing the places to visit by state.
- Next to each field trip idea, there will be the name of the guide that corresponds with that location.
- My goal is to add to this as we go through the different Notgrass History guides.

So, if you live or plan on traveling near any of these places, I HIGHLY recommend making plans to visit while you are studying Notgrass History. Vacationing this summer? Consider stopping by one of these landmarks on your way to your destination. We have done this before and it’s a great way to add learning into your vacation. Another idea is to consider planning your vacation AROUND your studies this year. A few years ago we spent the year studying ocean animals so that year we ended the school year with a trip to the ocean and a marine life aquarium.
Field trips provide your children with a hands-on, enriching experience where they can actually SEE the information they learned about in their studies. This is something that even a program as wonderful as Notgrass CAN’T do.
