American Experience: Mapping History

*Now with twice the content!*

What history exists in your neighborhood? Mapping History helps you explore your local environment or browse the country for the history behind some of America's most significant landmarks.

Mapping History now features two curated maps with thousands of pins.
• The Engineering Map of America highlights the most significant engineering feats across the United States. Learn more about the major building projects that have transformed cities and towns across the country, and in turn have transformed the way we live and work.
• The Abolitionist Map of America features sites central to the abolitionist movement in the United States.

KEY FEATURES
→Find the most significant locations, read about their roles in history, and compare archival images with how the sites look today.
