For some time, rural areas have seen a marked decrease in economic potential as a result of the urbanization of most areas in the United States. Unlike many of the more populated areas, rural areas are home to small communities that exist over a vast amount of land. Farmers, cattle herders and the like often suffer from a lack of economic certainty whereas their profits hinge on the conditions around them. It has become increasingly necessary to implement new methods of revitalizing the economies of rural areas in order to create a more equally profitable nation. There are many historical landmarks, key events and persons of interest all over the United States and that appeal only appreciates over time.
