Current Goal

Horatio's a history hound. He's looking to visit places of historical interest. This need not be Gettysburg or the Liberty Bell (though those would be fine). Places of local significance are welcome - and encouraged. Perhaps you could take him to a locale that an out-of-towner might not be likely to discover on their own.

Dropped Horatio off in historic Richmond Park - the former hunting grounds of the kings of England. Now they are the hunting grounds of joggers and cyclists - and geocachers!
