I'm always curious about these"best in your state" posts. I like to see if I've interacted with what's postulated to be the best, whether it be a museum, a restaurant, a tourist attraction, a state park, or a host of other things.
In this case, it's the "most iconic landmark".
The Most Iconic Landmark in Every State
OK, so two states I've visited are Florida and Arizona. (I've been to a pretty good percentage of the 50.) And I live in Maryland. So here's a listing of the most iconic landmark, according to the website, for those three states.
Arizona: The Grand Canyon. Yes, I've been there.
Florida: Walt Disney World. Yes, I've been there.
Maryland: Fort McHenry National Monument. Actually, I haven't been there, but I have driven close to it numerous times.
I guess I better visit Fort McHenry!
I wish more people participated in my blog, because I'd be curious about disputes with what's posted here. Thinking about Florida, Walt Disney World sure is famous, but is it really a landmark evocative of Florida -- a place known for sunshine and beaches? As an alternative, I'd nominate the Castillo de San Marcos in St. Augustine, or Miami's South Beach. See below for a pic of the latter.
