David Berger National Memorial
One of 11 athletes murdered at the 1972 Olympic Games, David Berger was an Israeli-American citizen born in Shaker Heights, Ohio. He won the NCAA weightlifting title as a student at Tulane University, then a silver medal at the 1971 Asian Games before winning a spot on the Israeli Olympic team. Ohio Senator Howard Metzenbaum led the effort to create the memorial. Made of a type of steel that oxidizes over time, it portrays the five Olympic Rings broken in half. Each of the 11 segments represents one of the victims.

Cedar Creek and Belle Grove
Cedar Creek and Belle Grove National Historical Park was created to protect several historically significant locations in the Shenandoah Valley of Northern Virginia, most notably the site of the Civil War Battle of Cedar Creek and the Belle Grove Plantation. The park also includes a number of other features of historical importance, such as the Belmont estate, which was used as a headquarters by both Generals Philip Sheridan and George Custer during the war. In total, there are over 3,700 acres within the park's authorized boundary. However, over half of this land is still privately owned. Much of the battle ground at Cedar Creek has been preserved as part of the park. The same is true for Belle Grove Plantation, which has been restored to its appearance during the Civil War era. Visitors to the park can explore a number of trails and driving tours that wind through these and other historically significant sites.

Camp Nelson
Camp Nelson was established by the US Army during the Civil War as a fortified base and supply depot. It soon became a large recruitment and training center for African American soldiers, as well as a refugee camp for their wives and children, and civilians fleeing the war. Many enslaved people also escaped to Camp Nelson with the hope of securing freedom and controlling their futures by aiding in the destruction of slavery. Today, trails wind through the camp and the cemetery for Union dead, providing visitors with a glimpse into the important role Camp Nelson played during the Civil War.
