“There is nothing so American as our national parks.... The fundamental idea behind the parks...is that the country belongs to the people, that it is in process of making for the enrichment of the lives of all of us.” - Franklin D. Roosevelt
Let's begin our journey to America's 250th birthday right where the tension snapped. The Boston Massacre of 1770 was the ignition point that turned protest into a revolution.
Control of the waterways was crucial. Fort Ticonderoga was a massive stone fort that commanded the portage between Lake Champlain and Lake George.
While the early years of the Revolution were fought largely in the North, the conflict’s final, decisive chapters were written in the South. Between 1778 and 1781, the British shifted their strategy, believing they could capitalize on strong Loyalist support in Georgia and the Carolinas to "pacify" the colonies from the bottom up.
The story of America isn’t found in a textbook—it’s etched into the cobblestones of Philadelphia, the rolling hills of Saratoga, and the coastal fields of Yorktown. As we approach the 250th anniversary of the United States, there has never been a better time to rediscover the landmarks that defined a nation.
