West Baden, Indiana

ONE HOUR (56.7 miles from downtown Louisville)

Before you've had enough time to take in the glory of that new hit album, you find yourself on a tree-lined, grand driveway heading toward an ornate dome. You feel like Jay Gatsby without the paranoia as you swoop past vintage cars and horse-drawn carriages, and your eyes are dazzled by the old school charm around every corner when you enter the town's namesake hotel. At the bar there's a woman playing the harp, golfers stand round in plus fours and a fellow guest is swooning on a silk chaise lounge, a paperback novel clutched to her chest. Yes, you've discovered the old spring town of West Baden, famous for its French Lick casino and Pete Dye golf course but beloved for its refusal to let go of the past. You'll feel like you've gone back to the decadent 1920s and won't want to ever return to the future.

Known to be one of the most haunted places in America, you can take a ghost tour of the hotel and surrounding grounds — and cemetery — with a local historian. When your goosebumps have subsided you can ask about the famous guests that have hung out there and sip a Manhattan under the dome, which was labeled the 'eighth wonder of the world' when it was first revealed in 1902.

New Harmony, Indiana

TWO HOURS (132 miles from downtown Louisville)

Where history meets hip, this charming old town was established by the groovy, peace-loving Harmony Society in 1814. It became known as a place to advance the good things in life, its residents establishing the first free library and civic drama club. Still a picturesque place that runs on good vibes, the town has been maintained and restored to look much the way it did — but with the added bonus of its buildings now being filled with delicious places to dine.

If you're traveling with kids, Playtopia in Murphy Park, 1014 Main St., is heaven — the children will have the time of their lives darting around the miniature playhouse version of New Harmony's Main Street — and the Atheneum grounds offer wide skies and green grass for kite-flying, and the best sunset spot in town.

Chicago, Illinois

FIVE HOURS (300 miles from downtown Louisville)

The nearest place to Louisville that is sexy enough to have the same shops and restaurants as New York and Los Angeles, the third-largest U.S. city is a shiny metropolis with a heart — it can play with the big boys while keeping its Midwest charm. And this makes it epic. The home of Oprah Winfrey, a strut along the Magnificent Mile will test your eyeballs as much as your wallet. Escape from the hustle and bustle at the hottest place in town, The Langham, 330 N. Wabash Ave., – where a delightful afternoon tea is served every afternoon on Wedgwood china. Nibble at a fairytale variety of sandwiches, scones, macaroons and cakes while you sip the globe's finest teas, tap your toes to the live music swirling from the grand piano or converse next to the glowing fireplace. As an English woman and 'Downton Abbey' fanatic, I can guarantee there is no finer place to take your tea in America. If you're too stuffed to move on, the Langham's bedrooms offer floor-to-ceiling windows providing unbeatable views of the skyline and Chicago River — so you won't miss out on Windy City life while you recuperate from your food coma.

You have to climb to the top of the Willis Tower, 233 S Wacker Drive, and step out onto The Ledge — a suspended glass box 1,000 feet up — then calm your heart rate with a relaxing river cruise, taking in the city's interesting architecture. Next, snap countless selfies underneath the breathtaking Cloud Gate sculpture (known locally as 'the bean') and stroll through its home, Millennium Park. Lastly, gawp at famous paintings at The Art Institute of Chicago, 111 S Michigan Ave., home to the celebrated American Gothic by Grant Wood.
