Here are some resources for learning about your state:
History of the 50 States
State Websites: Type in your state's abbreviation and .gov into the address bar to go to that state's page. Examples: ny.gov, ca.gov, ga.gov On these pages, look for "tourism" or "visit"
US Census Bureau Quick Facts Statistics like population, demographics, economy, business
Lonely Planet Travel site with things to do and see all over.
Brochures, Maps, and Budgets- Start creating your brochure in Pages. Go to the Template Chooser and use the "Classic" template.
- Map out your route in Google Maps. Be sure to print a screenshot of your map, rather than the map itself (otherwise it will print all the directions!).
- Create your budget in a Google Spreadsheet. Use this spreadsheet as an example.
