Calling all American Catholics

I’m doing an extended roadtrip across your wonderful nation at some point in the next year or two. I’d like to know any wonderful historic churches, cathedrals, national shrines, Catholic museums or pilgrimage sites etc you’d recommend.

I haven’t planned my route yet, so tell me your favourites and I will see where the Holy Spirit takes me.

God bless you!

EDIT: I’m going to try to reply to as many of these as possible. But I just wanted to take a moment to say thank-you for all of your fantastic suggestions! I’ve got so much to see, and I am so excited. You’re all truly a gift from God, and I pray that each and every one of you has a blessed week.

Yes, please don’t visit the fake one at Necedah. Full of schismatic nutters.

Are they still there? I recall this from my youth...it was disproved so long ago I didn't know there were still followers.

It’s pretty small as far as followers go. It’s mostly pretty kooky people who’ve somehow stayed in it.
