The United States is home to a diverse array of holidays. The nation’s most popular include Memorial Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Patriotic sentiments soar on Independence Day, when backyard barbecues and street parties honor America’s break from Britain. Halloween on October 31 is a time for children to dress in costumes and go trick-or-treating.

Despite the fact that this state is the largest, only about 730 thousand people live on such a vast territory. In terms of population, Alaska ranks last among other states, the reason for this may be adverse weather conditions. At the same time, tourism is constantly developing. The number of foreign tourists many times exceeds the living local population. A large number of tourists come from Europe.

Church Brew Works was opened in 1996 in Lawrenceville Historic District. This is the first and only pub in the US that is located right in the historic church. Church of St. John the Baptist was built in 1902 but was damaged by fire in 1915. The church building has been converted into a microbrewery and restaurant with great attention to detail. The original benches were cut and hand-finished to accommodate the dining tables, while the oak from the benches was used to build the bar. There are original fir floors, original lanterns and bricks that survived the demolition of the confessional. Steel and copper tanks gleam at the altar.
