William Howard Taft NHS
William Howard Taft National Historic Site in Cincinnati, Ohio, preserves the birthplace and childhood home of the 27th President of the United States, who later became Chief Justice of the Supreme Court—the only person to hold both offices. The Victorian-era home offers visitors a glimpse into Taft’s early life and the influences that shaped his career. His grandfather, Alphonso Taft, served as Cincinnati's first mayor, and his father, Charles Phelps Taft, was a U.S. Senator and the 27th Governor of Ohio. From an early age, William Howard Taft was instilled with the importance of hard work and civic duty. He would go on to attend Yale University and Harvard Law School. Exhibits and guided tours provide insights into Taft’s legacy in law and public service, highlighting his contributions to progressive reforms and the judicial system in American history.

Highland Recreation Area
Highland Recreation Area offers 5,900 acres of forest, marshes and lakes in the rolling hills of Southern Michigan with 45 miles of trails to accommodate equestrian riders, mountain bikers, hikers and skiers. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR), which owns and operates Highland, describes the recreation area as a parcel of forest, wetland, and kettle lakes primarily operated for light camping and drive-in/drive-out recreational day use. The 721-acre Haven Hill Natural Area and National Natural Landmark is an area within the park that, according to MDNR, contains "all of southern Michigan's principal forest types within one small area, including swamp forest of tamarack, cedar, beech-maple forest, oak-hickory forest, and mixed hardwood forest." Haven Hill was the estate of auto magnate Edsel Ford, who preserved it as a natural area until his death in 1943 when MDNR took over.
