St. Louis
This midwestern city made the cut due to their Gateway Arch, a memorial that commemorates America’s westward expansion. The arch also pays homage to Thomas Jefferson’s role in encouraging people to venture into the West following the Louisiana Purchase, the National Park Service reported. A museum is also opening July 2018 about American pioneers and Native Americans, the Gateway Arch’s tourist site reported.

Boston
This New England city is the birthplace of freedom and American political thought.
