William Howard Taft NHS
William Howard Taft National Historic Site in Cincinnati, Ohio, preserves the birthplace and childhood home of the 27th President of the United States, who later became Chief Justice of the Supreme Court—the only person to hold both offices. The Victorian-era home offers visitors a glimpse into Taft’s early life and the influences that shaped his career. His grandfather, Alphonso Taft, served as Cincinnati's first mayor, and his father, Charles Phelps Taft, was a U.S. Senator and the 27th Governor of Ohio. From an early age, William Howard Taft was instilled with the importance of hard work and civic duty. He would go on to attend Yale University and Harvard Law School. Exhibits and guided tours provide insights into Taft’s legacy in law and public service, highlighting his contributions to progressive reforms and the judicial system in American history.

Big Hole
Big Hole National Battlefield preserves a battlefield that was the site of a fierce clash between the Nez Perce and the U.S. Army in 1877. The Nez Perce were a tribe of Native Americans trying to escape to Canada to avoid being forced onto a reservation. However, they were pursued by the U.S. Army's 7th Infantry Regiment. The two sides fought a brutal battle here on August 9 and 10, with heavy casualties on both sides. In the end, the Nez Perce were forced to retreat, and their dream of freedom was dashed. Today, visitors to Big Hole National Battlefield can see remnants of the battle, as well as the beautiful scenery of the surrounding wilderness. It is a place where history comes alive, and where the spirit of those who fought here long ago still lingers.
