Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial
Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial commemorates the Battle of Lake Erie that took place near Ohio's South Bass Island. The battle was a decisive victory for Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry and his fleet, and it is considered one of the most important naval battles of the War of 1812. The memorial is located on an isthmus on the island, and it celebrates the lasting peace between Britain, Canada, and the United States. The monument is composed of a granite shaft that rises to a height of 302 feet, making it one of the tallest monuments in the United States. The monument is open to the public, and visitors can take an elevator to the top for a panoramic view of Lake Erie.

Gettysburg
The Gettysburg National Military Park (GNMP) was established in 1895 as a way to protect and interpret the landscape of the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg. The GNMP properties include most of the Gettysburg Battlefield, many of the battle's support areas during the battle (e.g., reserve, supply, and hospital locations), and several other non-battle areas associated with the battle's "aftermath and commemoration", including the Gettysburg National Cemetery and Soldier's National Monument. The park has more wooded land than in 1863, and the National Park Service has an ongoing program to restore portions of the battlefield to their historical non-wooded conditions, as well as to replant historic orchards and woodlots that are now missing.

Clara Barton NHS
Clara Barton was an American pioneer teacher, nurse, and humanitarian who was the founder of the American Red Cross. The site is located 2 miles northwest of Washington D.C. in Glen Echo, Maryland. The Clara Barton House is the centerpiece of the site, and it has been restored to look as it did when Barton lived there from 1897 until her death in 1912. Visitors to the site can learn about Barton's work during the Civil War, when she helped to organize relief efforts for soldiers wounded in battle, and her subsequent efforts to provide assistance during natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, and wildfires. The site also includes a museum with exhibits on Barton's life and work, as well as a film about her contributions to American history.

Theodore Roosevelt NP
When Theodore Roosevelt came to Dakota Territory to hunt bison in 1883, he was a skinny, young, spectacled fellow from New York. He could not have imagined how his adventure in this remote and unfamiliar place would forever alter the course of the nation. The rugged landscape and strenuous life that TR experienced here would help shape a conservation policy that we still benefit from today.

Haleakalā
Haleakala National Park is one of the most unique and beautiful places on Earth. Situated on the Hawaiian island of Maui, Haleakala is home to a dormant volcano, Haleakala, as well as endangered Hawaiian geese.

In the coastal area of Kīpahulu, visitors can find the Pools of Ohe’o, a series of freshwater pools and waterfalls that are simply breathtaking. Haleakala National Park is a must-see for anyone lucky enough to visit Maui.

Scotts Bluff
Scotts Bluff has served as a landmark for peoples from Native Americans to emigrants on the Oregon, California and Mormon Trails, to modern travelers. The two bluffs, Scotts Bluff and South Bluff, provide hikers with plenty of options to get their fill of fresh air. The north bluff of the monument is named after Hiram Scott, who was a clerk for the Rocky Mountain Fur Company. The bluff served as an important landmark on the Oregon Trail, California Trail and Pony Express Trail. Over 250,000 westward emigrants passed by Scotts Bluff between 1843 and 1869. Being visible at a distance from the Mormon Trail, it was the second most important landmark for westward emigrants after Chimney Rock.
