John Muir National Historic Site with Vinay
John Muir lived in a time before national parks existed. His mission was to let everyone experience nature for themselves. I chose John Muir’s National Historic Site because I was interested in his work and inspired by how he convinced the U.S government to create the first national parks in the country.

Harriet Tubman National Historical Park with Olivia
For my art project, I decided to make a sticker for the Harriet Tubman National Historic Park. The purpose of this park is to tell Harriet’s story and all she did for slaves and her community.
Apostle Islands with Marianne
The NPS Site I chose was Apostle Islands – a group of islands in Wisconsin. I chose this site because I loved the scenery at first sight, and after I researched the location some more, I discovered all the interesting stories that these islands have to tell.
