About the Book
From natural formations to man-made structures, National Monuments of the USA celebrates (and educates) through a diverse sampling of historically, culturally, and scientifically important landmarks in the United States. Packed with maps, facts, and rich imagery, this book takes readers on an epic journey through more than two dozen federally protected sites including caves, homes of important people, vast areas of wilderness once inhabited by indigenous peoples, forts, and the deepest depths of the ocean.
Young readers are in for a real adventure! From the Statue of Liberty and Golden Gate Bridge to lesser-known geographic wonders, National Monuments of the USA provides a diverse sampling of the country’s most protected places.
Young readers will appreciate the way this book is organized, grouping each of the featured National Monuments into eight distinct regions. Additionally, finer details like dates and historical context help readers gain a deeper understanding of the monuments and their significance. Equal parts education and fun, this book will inspire travel, conservation, and adventure!

Travel plays such an important role in our lives. It has the ability to change us for the better. It’s an experiential education that teaches us how to feel, think, act, and react in positive ways. Travel fosters creativity, builds confidence, and teaches us all to be more tolerant. My own kids benefit from travel every time we hit the open road. No amount of money can buy those life lessons.
Travelnitch is inspiring the next generation of explorers. We believe travel is a wonderful way to ignite the imagination and get kids excited about the world. However, we need your help to make this possible. Please spread the word and support our efforts to raise citizens of the world. Let’s go on this adventure together!
