Itinerary
Day 1: Thursday
Relax and enjoy the passing scenery. In addition to rest
stops, a stop for lunch on your own will be made. Our
destination is Elkins, WV to board the Tagert Flyer for
a delightful train journey through the area while
enjoying lunch. On our return we will proceed to the
Hampton Inn to check in, relax and prepare for an
evening of entertainment with dinner and show at the
Gandy Dancers Playhouse.
Day 2: Friday
Following breakfast, we travel to Chillicothe, OH for a
one-of-a-kind experience. First, we are making a quick
“buy & return to the bus” and eat as we make our way
to the Adena Mansion to visit home and garden. We
are then off to Hopewell Mounds the ancient burial
grounds of Native Indians. We will have a porch talk
before being turned loose to walk around and take your
pictures. We will then go by the Hampton Inn to drop
your luggage and pickup your room key. This evening,
we are having an early dinner at the Longhorn
Steakhouse ($25 gift card – leave tip on table). This
evening you will be immersed in history as we witness
the spectacular musical – Tecumseh! Enjoy a Behind-
the-Scenes tour of the theatre complex led by actual
cast members. This performance which has been
labeled as one of the most mesmerizing dramas in the
nation enables you to witness the epic life story of the
legendary Shawnee leader as he struggles to defend
his sacred homelands in the Ohio country in the late
1700’s. Sit beneath the stars as the spectacle
surrounds you with a herd of galloping horses, live
military cannon in action & the most dazzling battle
sequences offered on the American stage. You will not
soon forget this experience.

Cattle Ranch, a working Texas Longhorn Cattle
Ranch. Our visit includes a narrated tour of the ranch

your camera to document this once-in-a-lifetime “Wild
West” adventure. Lunch is included at the ranch. [If
