George Rogers Clark NHP
George Rogers Clark National Historical Park commemorates an important victory during the American Revolution. The park is located on the banks of the Wabash River in Vincennes, Indiana, at what is believed to be the site of Fort Sackville. On February 25, 1779, Lieutenant Colonel George Rogers Clark led the capture of Fort Sackville and British Lt. Governor Henry Hamilton as part of the celebrated Illinois Campaign. The heroic march of Clark's men from Kaskaskia on the Mississippi River in mid-winter and the subsequent victory over the British remains one of the most memorable feats of the American Revolution. Today, visitors to the park can see a replica of Fort Sackville, tour a museum that tells the story of the Illinois Campaign, and explore hiking trails that wind through the scenic riverfront.

Sitka
Sitka National Historical Park in Sitka, Alaska, consists of 53 acres of forest and wetland habitats. It is the oldest federally designated national park site in Alaska and was established in 1910 to preserve the site of the Battle of Sitka, which took place in 1804 between the Russian Empire and the united Tlingit tribes. The park also contains the Fortress of the Bear, a reconstruction of the original Russian fort that was destroyed in the battle. In addition to its historical significance, Sitka National Historical Park is an important wildlife habitat. The park's forests and wetlands are home to a variety of animals, including Sitka black-tailed deer, bald eagles, brown bears, and Steller's sea lions. Visitors can enjoy hiking, camping, bird watching, and fishing in the park.

Overland Trail
The Overland Trail, also referred to as the Overland Stage Line, played a vital role in the American West during the 19th century. While parts of the trail were used by explorers and trappers since the 1820s, its significance grew in the 1860s as an alternative route to the Oregon, California, and Mormon trails through central Wyoming. The Overland Stage Company used the trail for stagecoaches, transporting mail and passengers to Salt Lake City, Utah. Beginning in Atchison, Kansas, the trail passed through Colorado before looping back to southern Wyoming, ultimately reconnecting with the Oregon Trail at Fort Bridger. Its operation ceased in 1869 with the completion of the First Transcontinental Railroad, rendering stagecoach mail service unnecessary.

Sunset Crater Volcano
The eruption that created Sunset Crater National Monument was devastating. The date is not firm but there is evidence it occurred around 1085. The eruptions formed a 1,120 foot-high cone, and covered an 810-square-mile area with a blanket of ash and lapilli. The impact of the eruption was so profound, it forced the Sinagua people to abandon their homes. Today, visitors can explore trails winding through lava flows, lava tube caves, and ponderosa pine forests, witnessing the area’s gradual ecological recovery. The monument protects both geological wonders and ancient Indigenous sites, offering insight into the cultural and natural history of the region.
