San Antonio Missions
San Antonio Missions National Historical Park preserves four of the five Spanish frontier missions in San Antonio, Texas. From north to south the missions are Mission Concepción, Mission San Jose, Mission San Juan, and Mission Espada. The Espada Aqueduct, also part of the Park, is due east of Mission San Juan, across the river. The fifth (and best known) mission in San Antonio, the Alamo, is not part of the Park. These outposts were established by Catholic religious orders to spread Christianity among the local natives. These missions formed part of a colonization system that stretched across the Spanish Southwest in the 17th and 18th centuries. They were also intended to serve as a buffer against encroachment by French and other colonists into Spanish territory. Visitors can explore the lush gardens and learn about the fascinating history of these important landmarks.

Chickamauga and Chattanooga
Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park commemorates the Union and Confederate armies which converged on Chattanooga, TN, in the fall of 1863, in a battle for control of the strategic city known as the "Gateway to the Deep South". The Confederates were victorious at nearby Chickamauga in September, but renewed fighting in Chattanooga that November provided Union troops with a victory and control of the city. After the fighting, a Confederate soldier ominously wrote, "This . . . is the death-knell of the Confederacy." Indeed, Chattanooga proved to be a turning point in the Civil War, as it opened up the Deep South to Union invasion and helped pave the way for Lincoln's eventual victory.

Point Reyes
Point Reyes National Seashore is a beautiful and unique location that has been home to several cultures over thousands of years. The Point Reyes area was first inhabited by the Coast Miwok Indians, who named it "Sun Point." The Point Reyes area was then discovered by Spanish explorer Sebastian Vizcaino in 1603, who named it "Punta de las Razas" or "Point of the Races." In 1776, Point Reyes was given its current name by British Captain George Vancouver. Point Reyes is home to over 1500 species of plants and animals, and the landscape has remained largely unchanged since it was first discovered by Europeans. The Point Reyes area is also home to a famous lighthouse, which was built in 1870 and is still in operation today. Point Reyes National Seashore is an important historical and cultural site that is worth visiting.

Cape Henlopen State Park
Cape Henlopen State Park is a 5,193-acre park at the point where the Delaware Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean. Home to six miles of coastline, including both ocean and bay beaches, the park offers maritime forests, tidal salt marshes, and dunes. Originally inhabited by the Lenape indigenous people, the area was later explored by Henry Hudson in 1609. During the 17th century, it became a strategic military outpost for the Dutch and British, shaping its historical significance. William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania and early leader of Delaware, decreed that Cape Henlopen and its natural resources be set aside for the use and enjoyment of the citizens of the Delaware Colony, making it one of the first public parks in the Thirteen Colonies. Today the park is home to over 300 species of plants and animals and is the starting point for the American Discovery Trail, the only coast to coast hiking and biking trail in the country.
