Park Charles Pinckney National Historic Site Charles Pinckney's home near Charleston is preserved today to tell the story of this "forgotten founder's" life and role in the creation of the United States Constitution. Pinckney was an 18th-century politician and Southern plantation owner who first gained recognition for rejecting the Articles of Confederation, a precursor to the U.S. Constitution, in 1783. This national historic site in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, preserves Pinckney’s former home at Snee Farm, interprets his life and the lives of all the farm’s past inhabitants, including enslaved men and women, and interprets the early history of the United States and the Gullah culture of the descendants of enslaved people of the region.

Park Chickamauga And Chattanooga National Military Park This site is the nation’s oldest and largest military park. Among towering oaks, more than 600 monuments and markers invite visitors to pause and reflect on the costly battles waged here over the course of several months in 1863. Union and Confederate forces fought here for control of Chattanooga and, ultimately, nearly all of Tennessee; though Confederates claimed an initial victory at Chickamauga, Federal forces eventually overtook Confederate troops and pushed them back into Georgia. In addition to the cannons, monuments and markers, the park’s historic cabins, living history program and extensive museum collection allow visitors to gain a deeper understanding of the events that took place here more than 150 years ago.
