The World War I Memorial honors the more than four million Americans who served in the U.S. Armed Forces during World War I. More than 116,000 Americans were killed in action during the war. The principal feature of the memorial is an 80-foot-long relief sculpture by sculptor Paul Manship entitled "Spirit of America." The sculpture depicts a winged figure representing victory carrying a laurel wreath and a shield with symbols representing liberty, justice, and friendship. Inscriptions on the memorial include quotes from President Woodrow Wilson and General John J. Pershing as well as a list of American engagements during World War I.
Go to park pageA stunning day trip from Seattle, this historical reserve on Whidbey Island was home to the Skagit Indians, who had permanent villages on the shores of Penn Cove from as early as 1300. By 1790 there were more than 1,500 Native Americans living there. Most would be displaced by the Donation Land Law of 1850, which would bring a flood of homesteaders looking for free land in Oregon Territory. Today the reserve offers an intriguing mix of history and nature – great for biking, hiking and birdwatching. Pets are welcome.
Go to park pageLocated on the edge of Lake Ontario, at the mouth of the Niagara River, Fort Niagara is one of the oldest forts in American history. Native American, French and British lived and worked at this site for centuries. In the original treaty with the Seneca, the French were allowed to build as long as it wasn’t a masonry building. It became a trading post and “house of peace”. In 1678, the French built “The Castle by the Sea” to protect its interests in the New World. The fort changed hands multiple times in the years that followed, and the British finally yielded it to the United States for the last time in 1815 at the end of the War of 1812. Today visitors to Fort Niagara State Park can see exhibits and reenactments of the lives of those who lived and fought at the site.
