National Railway Museum (York): The first national museum to be built away from London is devoted to the locomotive that changed the face of Victorian England. Set in an original steam locomotive depot, the museum is filled with railway memorabilia left by the Victorians. More than 40 full-size locomotives are on display, plus the century-old Royal Saloon, in which Queen Victoria rode until her death (it's like a small hotel!).

Back in 1867, William Whitaker was just one of many well-bred Bostonians building a luxurious town house in a neighborhood straight out of Victorian England. Today, with their mansard roofs, double front doors, bay windows and rear gardens, these South End buildings are preserved by landmark rules. Some have been reclaimed as single-family houses, others are apartments, but the 21st century Whitaker House is a bed-and-breakfast owned by Martin Gottlieb and John Collette.
