6 U.S. Presidential Landmarks Every History Buff Should Visit

America has no shortage of stunning national parks, but only one of them is named after a single person.

Theodore Roosevelt National Park, located in western North Dakota, was established to honor the memory of the nation's 26th President, an avid outdoorsman and dedicated conservationist. The sprawling site encompasses the great plains and rugged badlands that Roosevelt once explored — and where he found solace following the deaths of his wife and mother on the same day in 1884. Remnants of Roosevelt's Elkhorn Ranch homestead still stand today, where visitors can take in the vast remoteness of this wilderness that was a major part of the President's life.
