Fallen Timbers and Fort Miamis
Fallen Timbers Battlefield and Fort Miamis National Historic Site are affiliate units of the National Park Service. The British defeat in the American Revolution left them with a problem: what to do with their vast holdings in the Old Northwest Territory, which stretched from the Great Lakes to the Mississippi River. At first, they attempted to keep the area off-limits to American settlers, but the rich farmland and abundant natural resources proved too tempting. In 1787, Congress passed the Northwest Ordinance, which provided for the surveying and sale of land in the territory. The British responded by tightening their grip on the area, constructing a series of forts to protect their interests. This only served to heighten tensions, and in 1794, those tensions erupted into violence. The Battle of Fallen Timbers was the culmination of this conflict, and it resulted in a resounding victory for the Americans. The events resulted in the dispossession of American Indian tribes and a loss of colonial territory for the British military and settlers.

Foothills Parkway
The Foothills Parkway is a national parkway which traverses the foothills of the northern Great Smoky Mountains in East Tennessee. The 72.1-mile parkway connects the Little Tennessee River in the west with Interstate 40 (I-40) along the Pigeon River in the east. Large sections cross a series of high ridges running roughly parallel to the Tennessee boundary of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and offer unobstructed views of the Great Smokies to the south and the Tennessee Valley to the north. The oldest unfinished highway project in Tennessee, the Foothills Parkway project has been continuously stalled by funding difficulties since Congress authorized its construction in 1944. As of 2018, just over one-half of the parkway has been completed and opened to vehicular traffic; however, completion of the full parkway is not expected until 2027 at the earliest. Despite its long history of delays, the Foothills Parkway remains one of the most scenic drives in Tennessee, and is well worth a visit for anyone looking to enjoy unparalleled views of the Great Smoky Mountains.

Fire Island
Fire Island National Seashore protects a 26-mile section of Fire Island, an approximately 30-mile long and 0.5-mile wide barrier island separated from Long Island by the Great South Bay. The island has 17 private communities within the seashore including Saltaire, Fire Island Pines, and Ocean Beach. Only two bridges lead to Fire Island and the national seashore. There are no public roads within the seashore itself, and private cars are forbidden. The Robert Moses Causeway leads to Robert Moses State Park on the western end of Fire Island while the William Floyd Parkway leads to the eastern end of the island. The seashore can also be accessed by private boat or by ferry from the communities of Patchogue, Sayville, and Bay Shore on Long Island. The wilderness area of the island includes pine forests, sand dunes that serve as habitat for white-tailed deer, herons and migratory waterfowl and miles of unspoiled beaches which are perfect for swimming, sunbathing, fishing, and hiking. Visitors can also enjoy scenic views from the many nature trails or take a leisurely stroll through one of the quaint seaside villages.
