Brown v. Board of Education NHP
Brown v. Board of Education National Historical Park was established in Topeka, Kansas, to commemorate the landmark 1954 U.S. Supreme Court case that ended racial segregation in public schools. The unanimous decision stated that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal" and, as such, violated the 14th Amendment's guarantee of equal protection under the law. The decision was a major victory for the civil rights movement and helped pave the way for integration in education and other areas of American life. The park features exhibits and programs that illuminate the struggle for racial justice and the courageous individuals, like plaintiff Linda Brown and her sister, who contributed to this historic milestone.

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.

Cape Krusenstern
North of the Arctic Circle, Cape Krusenstern National Monument forms 70 miles of shoreline on the Chukchi Sea. Inupiat Eskimos have occupied this area for over 5,000 years and continue to do so today. The monument provides a place to hunt, fish and gather food. Vast wetlands extend beyond the shoreline and provide habitat for an abundance of wildlife, including many species of migratory birds. These birds travel here from all over the world, including South America. Hikers and boaters can see carpets of wildflowers among shrubs containing wisps of qiviut from muskoxen. The beauty and richness of this land is indescribable.
