For decades, the Statue of Liberty has been a leading attraction in the nation. She is the best representation of what America is all about. Give your students the opportunity to see this splendid icon of our country, and if you are feeling energetic you can take them on the 22-story hike to the crown of the statue. You can also enjoy a visit to the museum located in the pedestal of the statue. Here you can view exhibits on immigration that recall the arrival of millions of our ancestors.

This is an 18-acre building located on the East side of Manhattan , and it is an international zone. First Avenue is where you can see the beautiful display of all 188 members’ flags. While touring the headquarters, you can purchase a post card and mail it with a United Nations stamp. What is so special about these stamps?

We all read about it in the newspaper and magazines, and we watched it on television. The question is, “Is that comparable to visiting Ground Zero in person?” No, absolutely not. Ground Zero is a site that every American should see in person to remind them of how Americans pull together in time of need. Also, it is an excellent learning experience for children to actually be able to observe the historical site up close, as well as see the progress of the Freedom Tower.
