Skyline Drive
History is personal (and therefore compelling) in the films of Ken Burns... stories and firsthand accounts by people who were present at historic events, which put you there too... in the saddle with the Buffalo Soldiers, the African-American cavalry that protected our national parks before there was a National Parks Service... on the battlefields of Gettysburg... in the box seat at Ford’s Theatre... or beside the euphoric John Muir, discovering the grandeur of Yosemite. These journeys, designed by Tauck with Ken Burns and his collaborator, writer and filmmaker Dayton Duncan, combine fascinating places and events with the fascinating people behind them (including exclusive film vignettes by Ken and Dayton, for Tauck’s guests only)... creating unique experiences where you can step into the shoes of a Civil War soldier, or hear firsthand the inspirations that created America’s national parks, about which Dayton Duncan writes: “we have found in the stories of the parks quite simply a reminder of our best selves...”
CRAFTED BY TAUCK &
