America has an illustrious history and is full of hope—as well as some severely dark times that our country continually has to reckon with. Visiting our country's landmarks, be it a national park or city-center memorial, is a way to help American history come to life and better educate ourselves on the founding principles and legacy of the U.S. of A., that we may pave a way for a better and brighter future.

From Black-owned plantations to the very rooms where our Declaration of Independence was signed, these 24 landmarks are just some of the must-see sights that help us appreciate America's beauty and resiliency while reconciling its past and honoring those who lived here before the New World was built.
