Camp Nelson
Camp Nelson was established by the US Army during the Civil War as a fortified base and supply depot. It soon became a large recruitment and training center for African American soldiers, as well as a refugee camp for their wives and children, and civilians fleeing the war. Many enslaved people also escaped to Camp Nelson with the hope of securing freedom and controlling their futures by aiding in the destruction of slavery. Today, trails wind through the camp and the cemetery for Union dead, providing visitors with a glimpse into the important role Camp Nelson played during the Civil War.

Shiloh
Shiloh National Military Park preserves the Civil War battlefields at Shiloh and Corinth. The main section of the park is in the unincorporated town of Shiloh, about nine miles south of Savannah, Tennessee, with an additional area located in the city of Corinth, Mississippi, 23 miles southwest of Shiloh. The Battle of Shiloh (April 6–7, 1862) began a six-month struggle for control of the strategic railroad junction at Corinth that continued through the Battles of Iuka (September 19, 1862) and Corinth (October 3–4, 1862). Although Union forces ultimately succeeded in capturing Corinth, the high number of casualties on both sides – over 23,000 total – made it clear that the Civil War would be a long and bloody conflict. Today, visitors to Shiloh National Military Park can see the preserved battlefields where some of the fiercest fighting of the war took place.

In addition, the park offers a variety of educational programs that teach visitors about the history of American Impressionism.

Gila Cliff Dwellings
The Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument in New Mexico is home to a series of caves that were inhabited by ancient peoples. The first inhabitants were nomadic groups who used the caves as temporary shelter. In the late 1200s, the Mogollon culture made the caves their home. They built rooms, crafted pottery and raised children in the cliff dwellings for one or two generations. By approximately 1300, the Mogollon had moved on, leaving the walls behind. Today, the cliff dwellings are a popular tourist destination, providing a glimpse into the lives of these ancient people.

Namib Skeleton Coast
The world's oldest desert meets the Atlantic Ocean on the western shores of Namibia, creating one of the world's largest game parks - home to hyenas, leopards, baboons, bat-eared foxes and many other creatures. Along with Skeleton Coast National Park to the north, the Namib-Naukluft preserves nearly the entire coastline of this African country. A popular spot for tourism is Sossusvlei, an enormous salt and clay pan ringed by high red dunes. You'll need a four-wheel drive vehicle to get there, but it's worth the trip to visit "Big Daddy," the highest dune at around 1,065 feet tall.
