Federal Hall
Federal Hall is a historic building at 26 Wall Street in the Financial District of Manhattan. The current Greek Revival–style building, completed in 1842 as the Custom House, is operated by the National Park Service as a national memorial called the Federal Hall National Memorial. The memorial is named after a Federal style building on the same site, completed in 1703 as City Hall and then remodeled into a neoclassical style in 1788-89. That building served as the first Capitol of the United States from 1789 until 1790, when New York City was capital of the country. Although it was originally built to house government offices, the building has also been used as a courthouse, a museum, and even a church. Today, it is open to the public for tours and events.

Fort Niagara
Located on the edge of Lake Ontario, at the mouth of the Niagara River, Fort Niagara is one of the oldest forts in American history. Native American, French and British lived and worked at this site for centuries. In the original treaty with the Seneca, the French were allowed to build as long as it wasn’t a masonry building. It became a trading post and “house of peace”. In 1678, the French built “The Castle by the Sea” to protect its interests in the New World. The fort changed hands multiple times in the years that followed, and the British finally yielded it to the United States for the last time in 1815 at the end of the War of 1812. Today visitors to Fort Niagara State Park can see exhibits and reenactments of the lives of those who lived and fought at the site.

Gombe National Park
Gombe National Park, nestled along the shores of Lake Tanganyika in Tanzania, is a small but ecologically significant gem. Covering just 52 square kilometers, it boasts diverse habitats, including lush forests, grasslands, and lakeside terrain. Gombe gained worldwide acclaim due to the groundbreaking research conducted by primatologist Jane Goodall, who extensively studied chimpanzees in the park. This research reshaped our understanding of these intelligent primates. Gombe is not only a sanctuary for these endangered chimpanzees but also home to various other wildlife species, including baboons, colobus monkeys, and over 200 bird species. Its breathtaking landscapes and rich biodiversity make Gombe National Park a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts and conservationists alike.
