## Resource

As America turns 250, some of its most fascinating history isn’t in museums—it’s tucked into historic hotels across the country. These iconic properties, recognized by Historic Hotels of America, aren’t just old buildings; they’re living time capsules brimming with art, memorabilia, and stories that connect guests to America’s past. From the Revolutionary War-era Concord Inn to the centennial La Valencia in San Diego, these hotels meet strict criteria: at least 50 years old, top-tier service, and a deep embrace of their heritage. Take Nemacolin in Pennsylvania, once a hunting lodge now owned by Maggie Hardy and PJ Magerko Liquorice, who’ve transformed it into a treasure trove of Americana—complete with Norman Rockwell paintings, Tiffany lamps, a free-to-ride 1920s carousel, and even a fully operational 1931 Pitcairn Super Mailwing plane once owned by Steve McQueen. Guests can fly in it, explore a hangar filled with presidential letters and Armstrong photos, and stay in a Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired hotel called Falling Rock. For Maggie, whose father served in WWII, it’s more than business—it’s a heartfelt tribute to the American dream, shared with pride and passion as the nation celebrates its milestone.
