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.

Found Horatio in the woods - he was enjoying the tranquility (see photo attached) but it is time for him to sniff out some new surroundings, the more historical the better! I wonder where he will get to next...
