20th century. The total solar eclipse of June 8, 1918 crossed the United States from Washington State to Florida. This path is roughly similar to the August 21, 2017 total solar eclipse and was the last time totality crossed the nation from the Pacific to the Atlantic.
By the time the Great American Eclipse arrives next August, it will have been 38 years since the last total solar eclipse on the U.S. mainland, but Americans won't have to wait as long for a followup. A total solar eclipse will travel north through Mexico and across the eastern United States in April 2024. The next one to visit the West, however, will not arrive until August 2045. So for some, the Great American Eclipse may well be the experience of a lifetime.
