Interested in collaborating with the podcast?

The American History Road Trip is designed to support and promote heritage tourism through narrative storytelling.

We partner with:

• Tourism organizations (DMOs)

• Historical societies and museums

• Cultural and heritage organizations

Together, we create story-driven content that connects audiences to real places — and inspires them to visit.

Why This Matters

For heritage travelers, stories are the destination.

They’re not just looking for places to go — they’re looking for experiences that offer meaning, variety, education, and authenticity.

According to the U.S. Cultural & Heritage Traveler Report:

• 78% of U.S. leisure travelers participate in cultural or heritage activities

• These travelers spend an average of $1,480 per trip, compared to $915 for non-heritage travelers. That’s about 62% more per trip!

• They are more likely to stay longer, visit multiple sites, and return to destinations that offer layered, authentic experiences

How the Podcast Supports Partners

The American History Road Trip helps bring those travelers to your community by:

• Telling compelling, place-based stories that highlight your site or region

• Connecting local history to broader American themes

• Creating evergreen content that continues to promote destinations over time

• Encouraging listeners to turn stories into real-world visits

This is public history meets travel and tourism — designed to inspire exploration and deepen engagement.
