Gettysburg National Park
Gettysburg National Military Park stands as an honoring site for a truly important turning point in our nation’s Civil War, probably its bloodiest battle, and also the inspiration behind Lincoln’s eponymous address.
Whether you’re more a fan of living history demonstrations or you simply want to walk on the historic halls where Gettysburg Address was completed, the park is loaded with history.
Tuskegee Institute National Historic Site
The historic site honors the very first Black institution for higher education, which opened, physically AND socially, to the formerly enslaved peoples back in 1881.
The area honors Booker T. Washington’s commitment to the rich Black history and education in America, but also George Washington Carver’s legacy at the institute.
Here, he made all of his incredible agricultural strides, especially when it comes to developing thousands of products from African staple foods, such as peanuts, sweet potatoes, and soybeans.
