Red Hill Patrick Henry
The final home of Patrick Henry, the Founding Father and orator of the American Revolution, Red Hill Plantation is located in Charlotte County, Virginia, near the Town of Brookneal. Patrick Henry bought the plantation at his retirement in 1794 and occupied it until 1799, when he died. In addition to the main house, there were other buildings on the property that Henry used for various purposes, including a law office, a store, and a gristmill. After Henry's death, his wife managed the plantation for several years before selling it to a relative. Today, Red Hill is a National Historic Landmark and is open to the public for tours and events.

Oklahoma City National Memorial
The Oklahoma City National Memorial is a memorial that honors the victims, survivors, rescuers, and all who were affected by the Oklahoma City bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building on April 19, 1995. The museum tells the story of the bombing and its aftermath through interactive exhibits, artifacts, and personal narratives. The outdoor symbolic memorial consists of two gates that mark the entrance to the former federal building, a reflecting pool surrounded by 168 chairs—each representing a victim of the bombing—and the Survivor Tree. The Survivor Tree is a symbol of hope and resilience; it is a live oak tree that survived the blast and continues to thrive today.

Lake Meredith
Situated in the Texas Panhandle, Lake Meredith National Recreation Area is a serene oasis for humans and wildlife alike. The centerpiece of the park is 10,000-acre Lake Meredith, a reservoir created by Sanford Dam on the Canadian River. The lake and its surroundings offer a variety of activities for visitors, including boating, fishing, swimming, camping, hiking, and hunting. Unfortunately, due to record-low water levels, many of these activities have been suspended in recent years. However, five boat launch ramps remain open, and park headquarters are still in operation. With its beautiful scenery and abundant wildlife, Lake Meredith National Recreation Area is a great place to enjoy the outdoors.

Tallgrass Prairie
The Flint Hills of Kansas are home to the last remaining tallgrass prairie in North America. This once vast ecosystem once covered 170 million acres, but within a generation most of it had been transformed into farmland. Today, less than 4% remains intact. Here, the tallgrass makes its last stand. The preserve is home to a variety of plants and animals, including many species that are rare or threatened. Since 2009 a small herd of bison have found a home here. In addition to its ecological importance, the preserve is also a place of beauty and solitude, where one can experience the wonder of the tallgrass prairie.
