📍 Gettysburg National Military Park

February is a significant month for Gettysburg, not just because of its Civil War history, but because it alsos marks the birth month of Abraham Lincoln, the president who forever changed the course of our nation. It was here, just months after the brutal 1863 battle, that Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address, redefining America’s ideals of freedom and equality.

The Battle of Gettysburg was a turning point in the Civil War, one of the bloodiest battles fought on American soil. Over three days in July 1863, Union and Confederate forces clashed in a fight that would shift the momentum of the war. In the aftermath, Lincoln’s words at the dedication of the Soldiers’ National Cemetery honored the fallen and reinforced the idea that the war was about more than just preserving the Union - it was about ensuring that “government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

The monument preserves a 13th-century Great House, part of a network of interconnected communities that spanned the region. With over 400 rooms, ceremonial kivas, and a stunning Great Kiva, a reconstructed marvel that gives visitors a chance to imagine the spiritual and communal gatherings that once took place here.

Nestled near the , Aztec Ruins is conveniently located for travelers exploring the historic and scenic landscapes of New Mexico. It serves as a gateway to understanding the greater Chaco Culture, which has World Heritage status.

Today, we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

His words and actions continue to inspire us to reflect on justice, equality, and the power of love and nonviolence. MLK Jr. taught us that the fight for civil rights and human dignity is not a one-time effort but a continuous journey.

Whether it’s by standing up against injustice, lending a helping hand to those in need, or spreading kindness in your community, small actions can build a better future for everyone.

Dr. King said, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’”

📍 Hamilton Grange National Memorial in New York City.

Did you know this place was the only home ever owned by Alexander Hamilton, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States? Hamilton was such a game changer— he helped create the U.S. financial system and founded institutions like the Coast Guard and the New York Post.

Hamilton Grange was built in 1802 and named after his ancestral home in Scotland. It's a beautiful house surrounded by greenery, which might surprise you since it's now in the middle of NYC. The home has been moved twice over the years to preserve it, and today it sits in St. Nicholas Park in Harlem.

Fun fact: Hamilton designed this house as a quiet escape from the chaos of city life. Even though it's in NYC now, you can still feel that sense of peace when you visit. It's like stepping into history while surrounded by the modern world.
