The airship Roma and the Hindenburg have a very common and tragic history. America learned from the Roma crash and turned away from hydrogen-filled airships...and Hindenburg learned the same lesson 15 years later.

Visiting the Washington DC Mall during the cherry blossom season made our visit that much more enjoyable. It is needless to say there is more than enough history for us to film and share with you! We even had a surprise celebrity sighting right on the Lincoln Memorial.

In the late 1700s, George Washington ordered the building of Army Forts at key locations throughout Virginia...Fort Norfolk was one of those locations. While the buildings didn't come along until 1810, the history and constant usage of this fort is one of a kind, and the stories we learned you couldn't make up!

Flashdance had a profound impact through fashion, dance, and as an example of woman's rights and independence. As a Steeltown girl myself, this was one of my favorite movies growing up and I hope that you enjoy seeing the modern-day locations of this iconic 80s movie.

Henrietta Lacks is the closest thing this world has ever had to a superhero. Her cells are so unique that they have been used in biomedical research ever since her fateful visit to her doctors in 1951. It is because of her that the world has things like the Polio Vaccine, COVID Vaccine, In vitro fertilization, and so many more medical wonders.

I was honored to visit her hometown of Clover, Virginia as well as visit her gravesite.

Arlington National Cemetery has so much history and so many stories to tell...we have visited multiple times, with two YouTube videos, and we still have only scratched the surface.

While there, we decided to visit the gravesites of presidents, movie stars, world-famous athletes, and people who impacted Jenn's life and helped inspire her military service.

This was the first video we recorded at a cemetery and it was much more interesting than we imagined!

Best known as the lead singer of the 80s hair band, Poison, Bret Michaels had a big impact on Jenn's life. We took an opportunity to do something a little different and film a Walk With History video from his hometown of Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania!

Walking through small-town Pennsylvania was that much more fun as we explored where he grew up, went to high school, played, and eventually put his father to rest.
