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.

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.

Fossil Butte NM
The ridges of southwestern Wyoming's windswept sagebrush desert are home to some of the world's best preserved fossils. Insects, fish, plants, reptiles, birds, and mammals are remarkable for their abundance, variety, and detail of preservation. The story they tell of ancient life in the warm, wet environment in and around a freshwater lake is preserved here. The fossils provide a rare glimpse into a lost world, one that was very different from the cold, dry landscape of today. The area is now known as Fossil Lake, and it is a popular destination for paleontologists and tourists alike. Thanks to the exceptional level of preservation, Fossil Lake is an important site for understanding the history of life on Earth.
