Harpers Ferry, West Virginia
The intersection of natural beauty and history make a person feel very insignificant and full of curiosity, while the Appalachian Trail just meanders right through the middle.
Clara Presser, Minneapolis
Acadia National Park, Maine
This park has mountains, forests, the ocean and great hiking (you can be the first to see the sun rise in the continental United States) and also is very accessible by car.

Savannah, Georgia
Savannah has it all: architecture, Revolutionary War and Civil War history, ocean 20 minutes away, art town, great for foodies, tons of green spaces, and you can walk around the historical district with an adult beverage.
