16.  Nantucket, Massachusetts

I once wrote a piece on Nantucket/If you missed it then you can just . . . Nantucket is nicknamed the “Faraway Land” because it’ll make you feel as if you’re somewhere else. Highlights here include 82 miles of scenic coastline, the highest number of pre-Civil War buildings, the whaling museum, historic lighthouses, and the White Elephant restaurant.

17.  Mackinac, Michigan

Mackinac Island is situated off the coast on lovely Lake Huron. The island is car-free. Here on this three-square-mile isle, you travel on foot, bicycle, or by horse-drawn carriage. The Victorian architecture, and Fort Mackinac, built in 1780, add to its vintage vibe. Visit Mackinac Island State Park, and sample some local homemade fudge too. Stay at the Grand Hotel.
