George Washington Carver NM
George Washington Carver, known as the "Plant Doctor" was one of the most significant scientists and inventors of his time. Born into slavery in Missouri in 1864, he became an accomplished agricultural scientist, educator, and humanitarian. His accomplishments were due in part to his observation of the day-to-day operations of a 19th century farm while tending his secret garden as a young child. This exposure to both nature and nurture ultimately influenced George on his quest for education and career path. In 1943, the first unit of the National Park Service dedicated to an African American was named in honor of George Washington Carver's legacy.

Abraham Lincoln Birthplace
Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park is two separate farm sites in LaRue County, Kentucky, where Abraham Lincoln was born and lived early in his childhood. He was born at the Sinking Spring site south of Hodgenville and remained there until the family moved to the Knob Creek Farm northeast of Hodgenville when he was 2 years old, living there until he was 7. The parks include both the farmsteads associated with each residence as well as collaborating sites nearby, which recall other chapters from Lincoln's life in Kentucky. These parks tell the story of Abraham Lincoln's formative years and include historic structures, artifact collections, living history demonstrations and educational programs. Visitors can tour both the birth cabin site and Knob Creek Farm. It’s a great place to walk in the footsteps of one of America's most beloved presidents, and gain a better understanding of the man who shaped our nation's destiny.

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.

Pinnacles

Travelers journey through chaparral, oak woodlands, and canyon bottoms. Hikers enter rare talus caves and emerge to towering rock spires teeming with life: prairie and peregrine falcons, golden eagles, and the inspiring California condor.

Katmai
Katmai National Park and Preserve is a unique and special place. Not only is it home to an active volcano, but it also protects 9,000 years of human history. The park was established in 1918 to protect the region surrounding Novarupta, which had been devastated by a volcanic eruption. Today, Katmai is also home to thousands of brown bears, as well as important habitat for salmon. The park offers visitors the chance to see these creatures in their natural habitat and to learn about their vital role in the ecosystem. In addition, the landscape itself is alive with underfoot creatures that remind us of what it is to be wild. Experiencing Katmai National Park and Preserve is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
