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.

John F. Kennedy NHS
The John Fitzgerald Kennedy National Historic Site is the birthplace and childhood home of John F. Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States. The house in Brookline, Massachusetts, is where young Jack took his first steps, and where he would learn the values that would shape his life in public service. At the time of his birth on May 29, 1917, Brookline was a quiet and comfortable suburb, close to Boston but not part of the city. The Kennedys had seven of their nine children in Brookline, before moving to New York in 1927. Owned by the National Park Service, the site includes a museum with exhibits on Kennedy's life and accomplishments.

Prince William Forest
Prince William Forest Park is a serene oasis in northern Virginia, located adjacent to the Marine Corps Base Quantico. It is the largest example of Eastern Piedmont forest in the National Park System. Established in 1936 as Chopawamsic Recreation Area, and developed by the Works Progress Administration, it served as a refuge for children's "relief" camps during the Great Depression. From 1942-45, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the precursor to the CIA, converted the sleepy summer camps into a secret training area. For four years, thousands went there to learn the art of spying. Today it offers 37 miles of hiking trails, 21 miles of biking trails and roads, campsites, and abundant wildlife.

Rainbow Bridge
The Rainbow Bridge is a stunning natural rock rainbow-like arc that spans a section of Lake Powell. This massive sandstone structure stands 290 feet tall and spans 270 feet across. For the Navajo people, the Rainbow Bridge is a symbol of great meaning and importance. It represents the deities that are responsible for creating clouds, rainbows and rain - all things that are essential to life in the desert. The Navajo believe that if you admire the Rainbow Bridge from afar, you will be blessed with good luck and fortune. Accessible by boat from Lake Powell or through a challenging hike, Rainbow Bridge is a testament to the region’s natural beauty and ancient geological forces.
