How about a pilgrimage to the birthplace of John Wayne. The 'western' actor who died in 1979. 
In april 2015 Winterset Ohio opened the John Wayne birthplace and museum.
Winterset? Yes, also the place from the novel The Bridges of Madison County.

Reminds me of The World of James Herriot in Thirsk (UK). I visited the James Herriot conference many years ago. A conference about James Wight. You perhaps know this British veterinary surgeon and writer as James Herriot. Author of All creatures great and small (and many others following).

As this blog is about place have a look at the Yorkshire Dales, the countryside of James Herriot.

Tried to find the grave of James Wight, but he was cremated and his ashes scattered.
