MUSEUMS AND OTHER PLACES TO VISIT--COMPLETE REGIONAL LISTINGS

About the "Complete Regional Listing"

The "Complete Regional Listing" provides the names and locations (city and state) of about 550 facilities in the United States and several in Canada. The "Part 4 Overview" lists the criteria used in the selection of these facilities (see p. 307).

The "Complete Regional Listing" is arranged as follows:

  • It is divided into nine geographical regions, arranged in a roughly west-to-east array, as shown on the map in this box.

  • The states within each region are listed alphabetically; each state in the "Complete Regional Listing" has an entry number--e.g., 10.1 for Alaska.

  • The facilities in each state are arranged alphabetically.

  • Facilities whose names appear in boldface type in the "Complete Regional Listing" are annotated in the second section of chapter 10--the "Select Annotated Listing," on pages 320-71.


    • Use the buttons above to access the hypertextually-linked chapter-specific Complete Regional Listings or Select Regional Listings, the buttons below to switch to a different chapter, or the buttons at the bottom to use any of the other indexes listed.
