Anasazi State Park Museum
The Anasazi State Park Museum in southern Utah displays archeological finds from an Ancestral Puebloan (Anasazi) village that dates from A.D. 1050 to 1200. One of the largest communities west of the Colorado River and located near the presumed border of the Ancestral Puebloan and Fremont cultures, the Coombs Village Site reflects a fascinating blend of traits from the two cultures. This intriguing fusion is evident not only in the recovered artifacts but also in the architecture found at the site. The presence of elements from various branches of the Ancestral Puebloan suggests a flourishing and expansive trade network during ancient times. Visitors can explore a life-sized, six-room replica of an ancient dwelling.

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.
