The 43-room mansion is filled with history. Georgia Aquarium in Georgia. The world's largest aquarium holds eight million gallons of water and more aquatic life than any other aquarium. Winchester Mystery House in California. In 1884, a rich heiress visited a fortune-teller after the death of her husband and baby daughter. The medium told her that continuous additions to her mansion would appease evil spirits. When hammering finally stopped in 1922, there were 160 rooms and 40 staircases, some of which lead to nowhere. Whether you're planning a trip or you just want to learn about various attractions, Amazing Places to See in North America is a must-read. -- Product Description. Remainder.
