Hampton NHS
Hampton National Historic Site preserves a remnant of a vast 18th-century estate, including a Georgian manor house, gardens, grounds, and the original stone slave quarters. The estate was owned by the Ridgely family for seven generations, from 1745 to 1948. The Hampton Mansion was the largest private home in America when it was built in 1790 and remained so for almost half a century. It is an excellent example of Georgian architecture and decorative arts, with a stunning collection of furniture and paintings. The estate also has a remarkable history of slavery and freedom, as it was one of the largest slave-holding plantations in Maryland. Today, visitors can tour the mansion, grounds, and gardens, and learn about the lives of the people who lived and worked here.

George Washington Carver NM
George Washington Carver, known as the "Plant Doctor" was one of the most significant scientists and inventors of his time. Born into slavery in Missouri in 1864, he became an accomplished agricultural scientist, educator, and humanitarian. His accomplishments were due in part to his observation of the day-to-day operations of a 19th century farm while tending his secret garden as a young child. This exposure to both nature and nurture ultimately influenced George on his quest for education and career path. In 1943, the first unit of the National Park Service dedicated to an African American was named in honor of George Washington Carver's legacy.

John D. Rockefeller Parkway
The John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway is one of America’s most scenic highways connecting two of its most visited national parks, Grand Teton and Yellowstone.

Rockefeller, Jr., who made significant contributions to several national parks, including Grand Teton, Acadia, Great Smoky Mountains, and Virgin Islands. The parkway provides a natural link between the two national parks and contains features characteristic of both areas. The parkway consists of 24,000 acres and is an integral part of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. It is bordered by Caribou-Targhee National Forest on the west and Bridger-Teton National Forest and the Teton Wilderness on the east.

Red River Gorge
Red River Gorge Geological Area, located in eastern Kentucky, covers over 29,000 acres of land and is known for its breathtaking scenery, sandstone cliffs, and unique geological formations. The gorge was formed over millions of years by the Red River and its tributaries cutting through the sandstone layers, creating a deep and rugged canyon. Archaeological evidence suggests the area was inhabited by the Shawnee, Cherokee, and Osage people for thousands of years before European settlement. The area is home to over 100 natural arches, including the iconic Natural Bridge, and numerous waterfalls. Home to several endangered species and protected by the Daniel Boone National Forest, the Red River Gorge is a federally-designated National Geological Area, National Natural Landmark, National Archaeological District and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. With its stunning natural beauty and rich geological history, the Red River Gorge Geological Area is a must-see destination for anyone visiting Kentucky.
