Ninety Six NHS
Ninety Six National Historic Site gets its unusual name from Charleston traders in the early 1700s, who thought it was the estimated remaining number of miles from here to the Cherokee village of Keowee in the upper South Carolina foothills. By the mid-1700s, European colonists had found the area to be a favorable place to settle, and it soon became an important stronghold for British Loyalists. A stockade was constructed in the shape of “Star Fort,” and tunnels dug under the command of Colonel Tadeusz Kosciusko, a Polish military engineer. The fort became the site of two main battles during the American Revolution. Visitors can explore the Star Fort, historic paths, and learn about the lives of early settlers. It offers a glimpse into South Carolina's colonial history and the struggle for American independence.

Thomas Cole NHS
The Thomas Cole National Historic Site includes the home and studio of painter Thomas Cole, founder of the Hudson River School of American painting. Located in Catskill, New York, it provided Cole with a residence and studio from 1833 until his death in 1848. Cole was an early environmentalist, and he painted numerous scenes of the Catskill mountains and nearby landscapes. The property includes Cole's home, Cedar Grove, as well as his studio and a barn. In 2019, in partnership with Olana State Historic Site and the New York State Bridge Authority, the Thomas Cole National Historic Site opened the Hudson River Skywalk, a pedestrian walkway across the Rip Van Winkle Bridge aiming to connect the two historic sites.

Ohio Senator Howard Metzenbaum led the effort to create the memorial. Made of a type of steel that oxidizes over time, it portrays the five Olympic Rings broken in half. Each of the 11 segments represents one of the victims.
