Long before Google Maps, maps were conversation pieces, status symbols, works of art, and crucial tools in identifying the land and community of the developing American nation. "Common Destinations" features selections from Winterthur's collection of traditional maps on paper, as well as map-related objects such as ceramics, geographic playing cards, and printed handkerchiefs.
