Latest Goin6 Tour Encourages Travelers to Explore American History

June 17, 2008 // Franchising.com // - In an ongoing effort to offer fun, affordable travel amidst soaring fuel prices, Motel 6 has launched the Cradles of Liberty tour as the next featured road trip on its new trip-planning Web site, Goin6.com. The Cradles of Liberty tour is designed to guide travelers on a journey through destinations brimming with unforgettable American history like Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Virginia, and more. By planning ahead and staying with Motel 6, which offers the lowest price of any national chain, road trippers can find accommodations for less than many will spend on a tank of gas.

"The summer months are a great time to visit the region that is America's birthplace," said Jeff Palmer, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Motel 6 and Studio 6. "These are historic sites every American and visitor to America should see. And staying at Motel 6 along the way will help you stretch your vacation dollars and enjoy more."

The tour will guide travelers on a journey through the origins of American liberty by way of a Philadelphia-to-Washington D.C. loop. Travelers will visit the sites of many of our nation's most revered buildings and monuments, and see where our founding fathers risked their lives in declaring independence from the British monarchy. Visit Historic Philadelphia, and see where the United States Constitution was drafted. Design a trip to Washington D.C., and encounter an almost limitless string of museums, monuments and memorials. Take a turn through Pennsylvania, Virginia and Maryland, and visit Revolutionary War battlegrounds and the sites of some of America's earliest colonies.

The Motel 6 Cradles of Liberty tour features highlights in and around each of these regions, including:

  • Philadelphia – visit Independence National Historical Park, and experience the story of Benjamin Franklin; visit the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, the First and Second Banks of the United States and Congress Hall.

  • Washington D.C. – the nation's capital; visit the Washington Monument, the Smithsonian Institution, the Vietnam War Memorial, and The United States Capitol.

  • Virginia – experience the solemn reverence of Arlington National Cemetery; visit Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington; and travel to Historic Jamestown, where 104 settlers established one of America's first European settlements.
