As soon as we stepped foot into the visitor center they offered us a private tour of the mansion, and how could we say no?

This was the first National Park we got to visit in 2016.

This small park is located at Olmsted’s landscape architecture office.

In an unassuming neighborhood we came across the birthplace of our 35th President.

Charles Pinckney National Historic Site

We enjoyed a rainy afternoon learning about Snee Farm.

Washita Battlefield National Historic Site

Oklahoma only has a few parks but we made sure to visit them all.

Springfield Armory National Historic Site

This was the site of first national armory and it supplied muskets during the Revolutionary War to General George Washington and his troops.

While we love big, well-known parks, finding little gems like this Site are what this journey is all about.

The property is complete with art galleries, workshops, gardens, and a walking path through a ravine to a man made swimming hole.
