COVER STORY: More than a dozen majestic tall ships from around the world came together to reenact the Battle of Lake Erie near Put-in-Bay. Commodore Perry led the Americans to victory over the British in the battle that is often considered a key turning point in the war of 1812. | |
| SCENIC AMERICA: The beauty of the landscape in northern Michigan is especially evident along the shores of Lake Huron. The blue water of the lake and the deep green of the north woods seems to stretch as far as the eye can see. |
OFF THE BEATEN PATH: A statue of Ronald Reagan is located along the Rock River in Dixon, Illinois. It's one of several attractions honoring the former president who grew up in the northern Illinois community. | |
| ON A MUSICAL NOTE: Traditional music in Scotland is perhaps best defined by the bagpipes. The music at a Scottish festival reveals multiple styles for the bagpipes ranging from pipe and drum bands to a Celtic rock group. |
TIME CAPSULE: A grand celebration marked the 100th anniversary of the Lincoln Highway, which officially opened in 1913. We look back at the early years of the highway that stretches from coast to coast. | |
| SEASONAL FEATURE: We return to the Scottish festival in Columbus, Indiana to learn about some key aspects of Scottish culture including a Highland games competition and a celebration of clans. |
