Theodore Roosevelt Island
Theodore Roosevelt Island is an 88.5-acre island and national memorial located in the Potomac River in Washington, D.C. During the Civil War, it was used as a training camp for the United States Colored Troops. The island was given to the federal government by the Theodore Roosevelt Association in memory of President Theodore Roosevelt. In the 1930s landscape architect Charles Downing Lay designed a plan for the island that would feature a monument to American Presidents. After several failed efforts to implement Lay's vision, landscape architect John Carl Warnecke was brought on to the project. Today, the island is home to a 17-foot statue of Roosevelt, as well as hiking trails and scenic views of the Potomac River.

Gettysburg
The Gettysburg National Military Park (GNMP) was established in 1895 as a way to protect and interpret the landscape of the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg. The GNMP properties include most of the Gettysburg Battlefield, many of the battle's support areas during the battle (e.g., reserve, supply, and hospital locations), and several other non-battle areas associated with the battle's "aftermath and commemoration", including the Gettysburg National Cemetery and Soldier's National Monument. The park has more wooded land than in 1863, and the National Park Service has an ongoing program to restore portions of the battlefield to their historical non-wooded conditions, as well as to replant historic orchards and woodlots that are now missing.

Chaco Culture
Chaco Culture National Historical Park preserves one of the most important pre-Columbian cultural and historical areas in the US. The canyon that the Park is situated in was cut by the Chaco Wash over millions of years. Sacred to the Chacoan people, the landscape includes mountains, mesas and shrines that still have deep significance to their descendants. By 1050 Chaco was the center of a thriving economic center of the San Juan basin. It is suspected that climate change ended Chaco as the center of a widespread trading culture. The remains of massive stone architecture including elevated kivas and great houses are still visible, but many have been pillaged over the centuries. Today many of the mysteries of Chaco remain unanswered, but it is an important site to several Navajo clans.

Dinosaur NM
This massive monument covers over 800 square miles of land in Colorado and Utah, and it's filled with fascinating geological features, incredible wildlife, and a rich history. The rocks here date back millions of years, and many of them are embedded with the fossils of dinosaurs that once roamed the earth. Today, the landscape is very different, but no less impressive. Towering mountains, wide open desert plains, and untamed rivers flowing through deep canyons all create a breathtaking backdrop for exploration. And if you're interested in the cultures that have called this place home, you'll find evidence of earlier Native American cultures in the form of petroglyphs, as well as homesteads and outlaw hideouts from more recent history.

Hovenweep NM
Hovenweep National Monument is largely known for six groups of Ancestral Puebloan villages, a collection of well-preserved stone structures, including towers, kivas, and cliff dwellings, dating back to the 13th century. There is evidence of occupation by hunter-gatherers from 8,000 to 6,000 B.C. until about AD 200. Later, a succession of early Puebloan cultures settled in the area and remained until the 14th century. Archaeologists speculate that climate change forced these groups to migrate south into present day New Mexico and Arizona. While no one knows for sure why they left, what remains are the fascinating ruins of their villages.
