Five Unique U.S. Destinations Offer Blend of History and Outdoor Adventure
Anonymous
The articles spotlight unusual destinations for travelers: Wild Bill’s Western Town, a handcrafted frontier-style attraction tucked into the woods near Smithfield, North Carolina, and Idaho City’s Boise Basin Museum, housed in a former post office that recalls the region’s gold-rush history and Chinese miners. In southern Idaho, Three Island Crossing State Park pairs Oregon Trail wagon ruts and an interpretive center with trails, camping and river scenery. Ohio’s Perry State Forest APV area offers about 1,800 acres of rugged off-road terrain shaped by its coal-mining past.
Key Points
1
Wild Bill’s Western Town includes a bank, church, kitchen and row of storefronts, with buildings made from wood and cinder block and individually detailed to evoke a frontier main street.
2
Idaho City’s former post office took on that role after fires in 1865 and 1867; the museum’s exhibits include artifacts, photographs and papers documenting the gold rush into the early 1900s.
3
Three Island Crossing State Park spans 613 acres, and its rangers offer educational programs and tours alongside the park’s campground, trails and Oregon Trail interpretive center.
4
A separate Idaho property featured in the articles is a 1,272-square-foot cabin at 8,500 feet on Mineral Hill, listed for $625,000. Access is highly difficult: a side-by-side takes about two hours to reach it, and the home is mainly usable in summer.
