I learned about...Hello, My name is Nicole. As i travel kindston-Net York online, i learned many fascinate things. Such as the Senate House, a New York State historic site, hosted the first meeting of New York's State Senate, but was later burnt by the British during the Burning of Kingston.this limestone building housed the first meeting of New York's newly organized State Senate. Another places that i travel was the Matthew Jansen House;sometimes called "Winterthur-on-the-Hudson," this building houses the antique collection of preservationist Fred J. Johnston.Originally built before the Revolutionary War, British troops attempted to burn this home and much of the rest of Kingston on October 16, 1777. i also learned about the American Revolution. During the American Revolution, the small town of Kingston, New York, twice appears as a key location in numerous historical accounts; once as the meeting point for New York politicians, and once as the focal point of British retaliation. And the transportation during that time.Transportation technologies transformed the Kingston area in the 19th century. The reasons for Kingston's 19th-century success lie almost completely with the town's role as a transportation hub. The "canal-building era" of the early 1800s impacted the area significantly when the Delaware and Hudson Canal chose the hamlet of Rondout as the terminus of the canal. Overall, it was a nice trip, because i know more american history that i never know before. [|The picture shows the shipyar at Kingston]. [|The picture shows the Senate House State Historic Site]  //**Rose Anne** **Cabrera:** // As I experience reading the itinerary about the [|Cane River National Heritage Area], I learned a lot of things. The Cane River National Heritage Area is located in northwestern Louisiana, the heritage is well known for its spectacular Creole architecture as well as other sites that preserve the multi-cultural history of the area. The heritage area includes Cane River Creole National Historical Park, seven National Historic Landmarks, three State Historic Sites, and many other historic plantations, homes, and churches. The French and the Spanish came to this region because of the river trade routes controlled by the Caddo Indians here. It is a place where many cultures came together to create a way of life dependent on the land, river and each other. The city of Natchitoches, is the oldest permanent settlement in the Louisiana Purchase. The history of local French Creole architecture is reflected in such places as Badin-Roque House; the Prudhomme-Rouquier House and the Roque House. The U.S. presence is reflected in Fort Jesup, which guarded the American frontier with Spanish Texas. African-American history is reflected in a number of sites, including the St. Matthew High School; which was the only high school in Natchitoches to cater to rural areas. Today, the Cane River region is home to a unique blend of cultures, including French, Spanish, African, American Indian and Creole American.

When I saw the picture about the park, I think that the park is very beautiful. And I knew that there are desert, mountain and river in the park. I also knew that the park is open daily and 24 hours. I think this is good for the people who was busy because they can go there anytime they like. I learn that first inhabited 10,000 years ago by prehistoric American Indians. 10,000 years is a very long time.[|The picture of Big Bend National Park]
