Monument

  3. My personal favorite, being something of a naval buff, is the battleship USS North Carolina, moored at Wilmington. She’s been well kept up and these days is painted in her wartime camo pattern. Most of the ship is open to tourists.

    Little Big Horn Battlefield National Monument is another good choice. Unlike most old battlefields you can stand there and actually see what happened and you can actually walk it down in a day. Gettysburg is another good choice, although that’s bigger and takes longer to see.

  5. The USS Arizona Memorial was very good. I would definitely recommend seeing that if you get the opportunity.

  7. The Legacy Museum & Memorial in Montgomery

    I’ve been to museums all over this country, DC, Chicago, St. Louis… and by FAR the Legacy Museum was the most impactful.

    If you’re specifically looking for a “monument” make sure to go to the Memorial portion. As you walk through you’ll be overwhelmed.

    I’m a grown emotionless man and I cried. Everyone I know who visited the Memorial for Peace and Justice cried.

  8. There’s the National D-Day Memorial which is extremely impressive and would be right at home on the Washington Mall in D.C, but it’s a little town called Bedford Virginia. It was located here because the town lost nineteen people on D-Day.

  12. Everything in DC the Smithsonian, the air and space museum, mlk memorial, Lincoln memorial, Washington memorial, ww2 memorial, Vietnam memorial, Korean memorial, Jefferson memorial and many more.

  13. Mount Rushmore is really cool. Civil War battlefields are a must. Gettysburg is the best that I’ve been to, but the others are good too. Antietam is really great if you want to see the medical side of the war. The barn that was used for an operating room still has stains on the floor. Andersonville isn’t a battlefield but has a very good museum.
