My Visits to California Landmarks

Welcome to my website. The state of California has designated over 1,000 historic landmarks throughout its 58 counties. As if my life is not busy enough, I decided to embark on a journey to visit all of the historic landmarks.

I do not know whether I will be able to complete this journey or not but the goal is to enjoy the process of reaching that finish line. I will be tracking my visits on the table below. This is a great table because you can sort any of the columns or do a search by typing in keywords in the search box.

On the day that I visited the landmark, there is a link that you can click to get more information on the landmark that I visited.

I have also added a map that tracks the landmarks that I have visited for a nice visual. Since there are so many landmarks to visit, I have only put up the landmarks in my neighboring counties of Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside. As the visits become more populated on the website, I will expand the list of the landmarks.

I hope you can enjoy this site as much as I do.
