Jamestown, Virginia
The city of Jamestown is the second-oldest city in the United States in North America. It was founded on April 26, 1607. By the end of 1865, most of the settlement had fallen into ruin. Preservation efforts began in the 1900s. In 2007, Queen ElizabethⅡ of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland was a guest for the 400th-anniversary celebration of Jamestown’s founding.

Santa Fe holds the distinction of being the oldest state capital in the United States as well as New Mexico’s oldest city. Santa Fe (and present-day New Mexico) didn’t become a part of the United States until 1848. Today, Santa Fe is known for its Spanish territorial style of architecture.

Idaho is America’s first International Dark Sky Reserve. The designation, built in 2017, is a result of nearly twenty years of local efforts to reduce light pollution in the area. In the summer, the reserve offers hiking, biking, fishing, and camping. And in the winter, visitors can ski and go to the mountains.
Great Sand Dunes (沙丘) National Park and Preserve, Colorado
