Fort Monroe
Fort Monroe National Monument has a long and diverse history that spans the American story. The first inhabitants of the area were American Indians, and Captain John Smith's journeys brought the first English settlers to the area. The first enslaved Africans arrived in English North America at Fort Monroe, and during the American Civil War, it served as a safe haven for freedom seekers. Until disarmament in 1946, the areas protected by the fort were the entire Chesapeake Bay and Potomac River regions, including the water approaches to the cities of Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, Maryland, along with important shipyards and naval bases in the Hampton Roads area. Surrounded by a moat, the six-sided bastion fort is the largest fort by area ever built in the United States. This rich history makes Fort Monroe a unique and fascinating place to visit.

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.

The canal stretches for nearly 187 miles, from Cumberland, Maryland to Georgetown in Washington D.C. Along the way, it passes through some of the most beautiful scenery in the country, including the Great Allegheny Passage and the Shenandoah Valley. The canal parallels the Potomac River and goes by the cataracts at Great Falls. The canal is also home to a wealth of plant and animal life, making it a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts.
