New York
New York's diverse landscape depicts the history and culture of this country through stories of immigrants entering America, the nation’s only site dedicated to a first lady, the reliving of life in the 18th and 19th centuries, memorials to those who led and fought in battles, historical figures, and the early beginnings of the feminist movement. One can also escape the city to the seashore or hike its scenic trails. Through extensive cooperation between state, local and federal governments natural and cultural resources are protected.
