“Ken Burns American Journeys,” Tauck’s Landmark Partnership with Award-Winning Documentary Filmmaker Ken Burns


Since we began our ongoing partnership with documentary filmmaker Ken Burns and his frequent co-producer Dayton Duncan in 2011, these premier American storytellers have been working alongside Tauck’s team of tour architects to craft experiences that bring the stories and themes from their films and books to life in firsthand travel experiences for Tauck guests – Ken Burns American Journeys. In 2012, Ken and Dayton bring their unique perspectives, knowledge and behind-the-scenes insights about the American West, the Civil War and America’s national parks to you via Stories by Ken Burns, filmed narratives on select 2012 U.S. Tauck trips, as well as select U.S. Tauck Bridges and Culturious trips; on Ken Burns Events like The Tauck Winter in Yellowstone Event in January 2012; and on tours Crafted by Tauck and Ken Burns – including Most Hallowed Ground and Spirit of the Desert: The National Parks of the West, featured here.

MOST HALLOWED GROUND


“To understand who we are as Americans,” Ken Burns has said, “we must understand the four horrible years in our national life when we tore ourselves in two.” 150 years after the tragic events of the Civil War made Antietam, Gettysburg and Appomattox household names, we’ll take you to discover them and more on an 11-day trip filled with unique access and insights from


Ken Burns in the spirit of his groundbreaking documentary, The Civil War. Tauck Exclusives include a behind-the-scenes experience at the National Archives and a keynote address by a noted historian in Washington, DC; a private visit to the Jacob Weikert Farm at Gettysburg; a private presentation on slavery and plantation life by a Monticello historian; a private gospel choir concert; and a private meeting with a historian in Richmond. You’ll visit some of the war’s “most hallowed ground” including Arlington National Cemetery and the battlefields of Antietam, Gettysburg and Petersburg, plus key sites such as Harpers Ferry, Appomattox, Ford’s Theatre, Historic Tredegar and the Confederate White House.
