A Historical Perspective on Total Solar Eclipses in the U.S.

This page will let you look at prior total eclipses to in the US if you're interested. There have been a couple in the last century that caught slivers of the country. The 2017 and 2024 eclipses will cut a swath across much of the US but only visible within that ~124 mile wide path.
