If you're trying to construct a one-of-a-kind vacation itinerary, you may want to take a trip through the realm of American know-how.
The National Engineers Week Foundation has developed the Sightseers Guide to Engineering, with nearly 300 attractions that tell the story of American engineering ingenuity through intriguing and often offbeat tourist sights. Recent additions to the guide include:
? Fontana Dam in Robbinsville, N.C. The tallest concrete dam east of the Rockies was built in record time.
? International Spy Museum in Washington, D.C., which features such engineering oddities as a solar-powered listening device disguised as a tree stump; and
? Highland Park Dentzel Carousel, a massive 1896 carousel in Meridian, Miss., the largest of its kind in the world.
