Federal Hall
Federal Hall is a historic building at 26 Wall Street in the Financial District of Manhattan. The current Greek Revival–style building, completed in 1842 as the Custom House, is operated by the National Park Service as a national memorial called the Federal Hall National Memorial. The memorial is named after a Federal style building on the same site, completed in 1703 as City Hall and then remodeled into a neoclassical style in 1788-89. That building served as the first Capitol of the United States from 1789 until 1790, when New York City was capital of the country. Although it was originally built to house government offices, the building has also been used as a courthouse, a museum, and even a church. Today, it is open to the public for tours and events.

Hubbell Trading Post
Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site is significant as a meeting ground of two cultures, the Navajo and the settlers who came to the area to trade. In 1878, John Lorenzo Hubbell purchased this trading post, ten years after Navajos were allowed to return to the Ganado region from their U.S.-imposed exile, what the Navajo called the Long Walk. The Navajos were forced to walk from their lands in present-day Arizona and New Mexico to a prisoner of war camp at Bosque Redondo, New Mexico. During the nearly 300-mile journey, many Navajos died from starvation, exposure and disease. Those who survived the journey were imprisoned at Bosque Redondo for four years. The experience was so traumatic that it forever changed the Navajo people. Following their release from Bosque Redondo, the Navajos were allowed to return to their homeland. However, their way of life had been irrevocably changed. The Navajos had lost their herds of sheep and goats, and they were now reliant on trade for their survival. The trading post has been restored and is now a museum that houses a collection of Navajo artifacts. It is also a popular destination for hikers, as it is located near several hiking trails.

Medgar and Myrlie Evers Home
This relatively new National Monument honors the memory of the late Medgar and Myrlie Evers, a civil rights power couple if there ever was one. As the first state field secretary for the NAACP in Mississippi, Medgar helped to launch some of the first grassroots campaigns for change in the state. He also worked closely with national organizations like the NAACP to push for changes to laws and policies related to voting rights, public education, and public accommodations. His wife Myrlie continued his work after his assassination, becoming the first woman to chair the NAACP. Together, they helped to change the landscape of civil rights organizing, demonstrating that a combination of grassroots efforts and work with national organizations can be a powerful force for change.

Cuyahoga Valley
Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a natural treasure spanning 33,000 acres of woodlands, waterfalls, rolling hills and open farmland. It is the ancestral home of the Erie, Wyandot and Seneca tribes. The winding Cuyahoga River, notorious for catching fire 13 times in the 20th century due to severe pollution, has since been substantially restored, thanks to the relentless efforts of environmental activists. The Canal Exploration Center is a great place to learn about the history of the Ohio and Erie Canal. Visitors can also take a scenic train ride through the park and see Bridal Veil Falls and Brandywine Falls.

Ross Lake
Ross Lake National Recreation Area includes three reservoirs—Ross Lake, Diablo Lake, and Gorge Lake—which provide water access to more remote areas. It is the most accessible part of the North Cascades National Park. Ringed by mountains, Ross Lake NRA has been called the American Alps and offers many outdoor recreation opportunities along the upper reaches of the Skagit River. Located just south of the Canada–US border, Ross Lake NRA follows the Skagit River corridor from the border to the western foothills of the Cascades and encompasses 117,575 acres. The lake is fed by runoff from the 300 glaciers in North Cascades National Park, and fishing on the lake is a major attraction.
