Cowpens National Battlefield
Located east of Chesnee, South Carolina, Cowpens National Battlefield is a site that commemorates a major victory of the American Revolutionary War. On January 17, 1781, Brigadier General Daniel Morgan and his ragtag group of American irregulars dealt a humiliating defeat to British Lieutenant Colonel Banastre Tarleton and his highly disciplined force of Redcoats. The battle was considered decisive in the war effort and was one of Morgan's most well-known triumphs. Today, the site of the battlefield is preserved as a national monument where visitors can learn about the history of the battle and see the historical marker that denotes the location of Morgan's famous triumph.

Mackinac Island
Once a national park, now a state one, Mackinac Island is a fascinating destination on Lake Huron in Michigan, bristling with history. A statue and small park honor Father Jacque Marquette, who founded a Jesuit Mission on the Island in 1670-71. During the War of 1812, Americans invaded and attempted to take the island from the British. The attack failed, but the US got the island back in the Treaty of Ghent. There are over 70 miles of trails to explore by foot, bike or horseback. Be sure to check out the Native American Cultural History Trail.

Bighorn Canyon
Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, which straddles the border between Wyoming and Montana, was created following the construction of the Yellowtail Dam in the 1960s by the Bureau of Reclamation. The dam, named after the famous Crow leader Robert Yellowtail--who fought against its construction--harnesses the waters of the Bighorn River, 55 miles of which lie within the national recreation area. About one third of the park unit is located on the Crow Indian Reservation. Nearly one-quarter of the Pryor Mountains Wild Horse Range is also protected within the recreation area. Bighorn Canyon provides a number of recreational opportunities including boating, camping, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, and wildlife watching.
