Summer is underway, and if you're looking for educational experiences for your kids during the break, there's a treasure trove of low-cost options pretty close to home. They’re also great touring options for out-of-town guests.

The National Park Service and the National Park Foundation have teamed with U.S. Olympic gymnastics hero Dominique Dawes to encourage folks to learn about lesser-known Park Service monuments and sites. Dawes, a member of the celebrated 1996 “Magnificent Seven” women’s team, recently toured three NPS locations as part of the “Find Your Park” campaign: The Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, Belmont-Paul Women’s Equality Monument, and Frederick Douglass National Historic Site.
