"People need to recognize how special America is in terms of what we've accomplished in just over 200 years," said culture historian Chris Epting.

Epting suggests going to a Web site hamptonlandmarks.com, which is something he worked on in conjunction with Hampton Inn Hotels. "We kind of supercharged it with these road trips that people can go -- they're all electronically mapped and people can go print them, it doesn't cost anything to get these great trips printed out, and I think that's an easy place to start," Epting said.
