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.

San Juan Island NHP
San Juan Island National Historical Park is located on San Juan Island in Puget Sound. The islands are divided between US and Canadian Territories, and were the site of an infamous dispute between the British and Americans who both laid claim to San Juan Island. The islands were settled more than 11,000 years ago, and the original inhabitants were ancestors of the Coast Salish tribes. Today the park commemorates the history of the islands, and preserves 2,000 acres and one of the last known habitats of the island marble butterfly and rare open prairie land. The main feature of the park are the British and U.S. Army camps during the Pig War, a boundary dispute over the ownership of the island in the mid 1800s.
