= Ken Burns Partnership

=
In September 2010, Tauck announced a partnership with the documentary filmmaker Ken Burns and his longtime collaborator Dayton Duncan to tailor land journeys and special events to topics covered in Burns’ films, including the Civil War, America's national parks, jazz, and baseball.
The partnership had several components:

Tours designed by Tauck, Burns and Duncan, including itineraries exploring New England, New York's Hudson Valley, Yosemite National Park, Yellowstone National Park in wintertime, and the parks of the U.S. Southwest.
Themed events in which Burn himself delivered a keynote address. Subjects included the history of New York City, the cultural roots of Chicago, jazz in New Orleans, and baseball in Cooperstown, NY.
Original short films produced by Burns and Duncan that provide their perspectives on people and places featured in their documentaries, while travelers are visiting the areas under discussion. Ken Burns created a film specifically on the history of Tauck, called Tauck: An American Story.
