Its adjacent cemetery contains gravestones from the 18th and 19th centuries, reflecting the community’s diverse history. Today, the site offers tours, exhibits, and educational programs, preserving its legacy as a symbol of early American religious, political, and military life.

Shiloh
Shiloh National Military Park preserves the Civil War battlefields at Shiloh and Corinth. The main section of the park is in the unincorporated town of Shiloh, about nine miles south of Savannah, Tennessee, with an additional area located in the city of Corinth, Mississippi, 23 miles southwest of Shiloh. The Battle of Shiloh (April 6–7, 1862) began a six-month struggle for control of the strategic railroad junction at Corinth that continued through the Battles of Iuka (September 19, 1862) and Corinth (October 3–4, 1862). Although Union forces ultimately succeeded in capturing Corinth, the high number of casualties on both sides – over 23,000 total – made it clear that the Civil War would be a long and bloody conflict. Today, visitors to Shiloh National Military Park can see the preserved battlefields where some of the fiercest fighting of the war took place.

Pisgah National Forest
One of America's first national forests, Pisgah spans over 500,000 acres, set entirely in North Carolina. It was the site of the country's first school of forestry, but these days it's better known as a terrific place for hiking, fishing, rock climbing, water activities and mountain biking. There are hundreds of miles of trails passing by whitewater rivers and waterfalls. Hikers wanting a deeper experience should try out Mountains-to-the-Sea Trail or the Shut-In Trail. If you're going on two wheels, leave Farlow Gap to the experts!

Wilderness State Park
Wilderness State Park, located near Mackinaw City, is home to 26 miles of beautiful Lake Michigan shoreline, a vast trail system and unique camping opportunities. Aptly named, the 10,000-acre park offers diverse forested dune and swale complexes, wetlands, camping areas, and many miles of hiking trails. The terrain is a mixture of dense coniferous forest and mature hardwood forest, with pockets of open meadows and carpets of wildflowers in the spring. There is an abundance of small ponds mixed in with coniferous wetlands. Wilderness State Park was designated a Michigan "dark sky preserve" in 2012.
