At the turn of the century, millions of people immigrated to the USA and the busiest entry points was New York's Ellis Island. Take a tour of the historical grounds and the symbol for arriving to America, The Statue of Liberty.
On April 19, 1775, the first shots of the American Revolution rang out when British troops and colonial militias clashed at the Battles of Lexington and Concord in Massachusetts. Travel to Lexington and Concord on this expedition to learn about the minutemen, visit the Lexington Common, and see the place where Paul Revere’s famous midnight ride ended. Explore the Old North Bridge to learn about the shot heard ‘round the world, walk along the Battle Road Trail, and visit the Bloody Angle battle site.
- The Voting Rights Act of 1965 granted access to voting for all Americans. This Expedition gives insight to the Selma to Montgomery March, the VRM, and SVRC, and the subsequent political action in Lowndes County, all of which were direct causes for President Lyndon B. Johnson’s push of voting rights legislation through Congress. The National Park Service tells these stories in two interpretive centers along the original 54-mile route taken by marchers from March 21 to March 25, 1965.
