Note from 10Best: Someday, we’ll all be ready to pack our suitcases again and head out on our next adventures. In the meantime, here’s some inspiration for the future.
We all know national parks are famous for their natural beauty and abundant wildlife, but many of the properties managed by the National Park Service are of great historic importance as well.
With the help of the National Park Foundation, 10Best has come up with 10 national parks that will allow you to brush up on your history and deepen your understanding and appreciation of America the beautiful.

Belmont-Paul Women’s Equality National Monument – Washington, D.C.
President Barack Obama designated this a national monument on April 12, 2016, making it only the second national monument to specifically commemorate women’s history. For 90 years, the National Woman’s Party made this house, in the shadow of the U.S. Capitol, its headquarters.
It was from here that Alice Paul and the other members of the organization helped secure passage of the 19th amendment, granting women the right to vote.
