Manzanar
Manzanar War Relocation Center was one of ten National Historic Sites where the US government incarcerated Japanese immigrants and Japanese American citizens during World War II. Located in Inyo County, California, Manzanar operated from March 1942 to November 1945, when over 11,000 detainees were held at the site. The center was located in a remote area, and detainees were subject to military-style discipline. The experience of detention was especially difficult for families, who were often separated from one another. Despite the challenges, many detainees made the best of their situation, forming close bonds with one another and working to create a sense of community. Today, Manzanar is a National Historic Landmark and a reminder of the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II.

Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial
The Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial is a United States presidential memorial located in Lincoln City, Indiana. The site preserves the farm where Abraham Lincoln lived with his family from 1816 to 1830. His mother, Nancy Hanks Lincoln, and at least 27 other settlers were buried here in the Pioneer Cemetery. In 1818, the Lincolns moved to a new farmstead about 1 mile away. In 1830, they left Indiana and moved west to Illinois. The Memorial includes a Visitor Center with exhibits about Lincoln's life and the Indiana frontier. The Memorial grounds also feature a replica of the cabin that Lincoln lived in as a boy, a living history farm, and the Pioneer Cemetery.

Niagara Falls
Today, the signature attraction of America’s oldest state park, the majestic Niagara Falls, is the dramatic apex of the free-flowing waters of four of the Great Lakes into the Niagara River Gorge. But that wasn’t always the case. During the Industrial Revolution of the early 19th Century, the natural beauty of Niagara Falls began to suffer as earnest industrialists built mills and factories along the river to harness its power. By the late 1860s, a small band of early environmentalists, including landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, who were concerned over the river’s waning flow, founded the Free Niagara movement. The movement believed that the natural beauty of the land surrounding the Falls should be protected from commercial interests and exploitation, and remain free to the public. After more than 15 years of pressure, the Free Niagara crusaders won their battle. The Niagara Appropriations Bill was signed into law in 1885, creating the Niagara Reservation. Frederick Law Olmsted, perhaps best known for designing New York City’s Central Park, believed that parks should be places of natural beauty, where “the masses could be renewed.” This philosophy was applied throughout Olmsted’s landscape design for Niagara Falls State Park, with an entire network of footpaths through wooded areas and along the banks of the Niagara River. Today, Olmsted’s vision continues with a commitment to maintaining native vegetation, preserving its unparalleled vistas and providing public access. Visitors from around the world are entranced by the thundering wonder of Niagara Falls, a grand tribute to the men and women who fought to preserve it for all.

Bahia Honda
If the Florida Keys conjure images of Jimmy Buffett and a lost shaker of salt, Bahia Honda State Park is the perfect backdrop. Inspired by a famous railroad bridge built by Henry Flagler in the early 1900s - which today is a trail famous for its sunset views - the park is a marvelous setting for all the outdoor activities you associate with Florida beaches. It's a terrific place to kayak, snorkel, or simply stroll along the beach birdwatching.
