Historic Jamestowne
Located on Jamestown Island in Virginia, Historic Jamestowne is the cultural heritage site that includes the remains of the original 1607 James Fort as well as the later 17th-century town of Jamestown. Operated as a partnership between Preservation Virginia and the National Park Service, Historic Jamestowne is a living history museum where visitors can explore the archaeological remains of the fort, learn about the daily life of the colonists, and see demonstrations of traditional 17th-century crafts. When Queen Elizabeth II visited the site in 2007, she noted Virginia was not just the site of the first English colony in North America, but also the beginning of the British Empire. In addition to its rich history, Historic Jamestowne is also home to a variety of plant and animal species, making it a popular destination for birders and nature lovers alike.

Santee Indian Mound and Fort Watson
Santee Indian Mound was part of a village complex built some time between 1200-1500. Fort Watson was a British fortification built during the American Revolution, strategically located on a burial ground of the Santee Indians overlooking the nearby Santee River. It was a crucial link in the British supply chain to their troops in the southern colonies. In 1781, the fort was captured by American forces led by General Francis Marion and Lieutenant Colonel Henry Lee after a week-long siege. The victory at Fort Watson enabled the Americans to gain control of the region and disrupt British supply lines, ultimately contributing to the British surrender at Yorktown later that year. Today it is located in the Santee National Wildlife Refuge.

White Sands NP
Rising from the heart of the Tularosa Basin is one of the world's great natural wonders - the glistening white sands of New Mexico. Great wave-like dunes of gypsum sand have engulfed 275 square miles of desert, creating the world's largest gypsum dunefield. White Sands National Park preserves a major portion of this unique dunefield, along with the plants and animals that live here. Occasionally the Dunes Drive may be closed on short notice when a missle test is scheduled. Keep an eye on the skies and check with NPS before you go.
