Past Lane Travels

Escape the present. Discover the past.

Welcome To Past Lane Travels

History Fills My Heart. Traveling Fills My Soul.

Thank you for stopping by my history and travel blog!

I am Jessica James, an award-winning historical fiction author who loves exploring the back roads of this great country and discovering off-the-beaten-path historic sites.

Although there are many travel blogs that provide information on historical destinations, I try to seek out the ones that are lesser known — but no less important to our nation’s heritage.

Take a look around. You never know what you’ll find in the past lane.
