Fort Davis
Fort Davis is a national historic site located in the Davis Mountains of West Texas. The fort was established in 1854 to protect the settlers from hostile Indians. The fort was named after Jefferson Davis, who later became President of the Confederate States of America. The fort served as an important outpost for the U.S. Army during the Indian Wars. The 24th and 25th U.S. Infantry regiments and the 9th and 10th U.S. Cavalry regiments, all-black regiments (known as the buffalo soldiers), were established after the Civil War and stationed at the post. Lt. Col. Wesley Merritt led Troops C, F, H, and I of the 9th Cavalry in their first battle against the Comanche at Buffalo Wallow in 1867. The fort was finally abandoned in 1891.

Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural NHS
Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site preserves the Ansley Wilcox House, at 641 Delaware Avenue in Buffalo, New York. Here, after the assassination of William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt took the oath of office as President of the United States on September 14, 1901. The house itself is a grandiose Romanesque style mansion built in 1883-1884 for Ansley Wilcox, a prominent Buffalo attorney, and his wife Susan. Theodore Roosevelt had been vacationing at the nearby Forest Lodge in 1901 when he learned that President McKinley had been shot. He rushed back to Buffalo and was taken to the Ansley Wilcox House. The site has been restored to its 1901 appearance.
