Seeing America

When the Incline Railway was built in 1895, the idea was to complete a cheap means for traveling to the top of Lookout Mountain.

The house, known as America’s largest private residence, is somewhat larger than a “little mountain escape.” Built between 1888 and 1895, the 175,000-square-foot house has 250 rooms, including 43 bathrooms and 34 bedrooms and sits on a four-acre site.

The museum, located at Wright Patterson Air Force Base is the oldest – and largest – museum of military aircraft. The museum features more than 400 aircraft and 17 acres of indoor exhibit space.
