| Independence NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK |
Assembly Room
Within this room American independence was declared, a successful war was directed, and the U.S. Constitution was written. Delegates to the Second Continental Congress (1776) and the Constitutional Convention (1787) sat in Windsor chairs around baize-covered tables. The President's chair is the original one occupied by George Washington as he presided over the Constitutional Convention.

| L’Anse aux Meadows,Newfoundland |
Canada’s inaugural UNESCO site, the Viking settlement at the tip of Newfoundland’s Great Northern Peninsula, was the first real evidence that these European adventurers had reached the new world over 1,000 years ago – long before Columbus. The excavated remains of wood-framed, peat-turf buildings are similar to those found in Norse Greenland and Iceland, and are the only authenticated site in North America. You will be able to see how the Vikings lived and enjoy tales of their adventures long ago.
