Fort Laramie
Fort Laramie was established as a fur trading fort in 1834 and quickly became the largest and best known military post on the Northern Plains. The fort was abandoned in 1890, but it witnessed the entire sweeping saga of America’s western expansion and Indian resistance to encroachment on their territories. The fort was originally established as a private fur trading fort, but it soon became a key stop on the Oregon Trail. The Fort was also the site of several important treaties between the United States and various Native American tribes, most notably the Treaty of Fort Laramie (1868), which guaranteed the right of free passage for settlers on the Oregon Trail. In its later years, the fort was home to several famous figures, including “Wild Bill” Hickok, Calamity Jane, and Buffalo Bill Cody. Today, the site of the fort is a National Historic Site, and visitors can explore the ruins of the old fort as well as a variety of exhibits about its history.

Visitors to the park can learn about the history of the women's rights movement and see some of the documents that were used to spark change. The park is a reminder of how far women have come and how much work still needs to be done in order to achieve true equality.

Chickamauga and Chattanooga
Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park commemorates the Union and Confederate armies which converged on Chattanooga, TN, in the fall of 1863, in a battle for control of the strategic city known as the "Gateway to the Deep South". The Confederates were victorious at nearby Chickamauga in September, but renewed fighting in Chattanooga that November provided Union troops with a victory and control of the city. After the fighting, a Confederate soldier ominously wrote, "This . . . is the death-knell of the Confederacy." Indeed, Chattanooga proved to be a turning point in the Civil War, as it opened up the Deep South to Union invasion and helped pave the way for Lincoln's eventual victory.
