Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., renowned hero of the

achieving social change, even in the face of brutal and murderous
repression. He led the United States into a new (if still imperfect) era of
equal rights for its citizens and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and the
Presidential Medal of Freedom for his work. This statue honoring him stands

Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site
Collinsville, Illinois
12 panoramas; December 22, 2012
A thousand years
ago, centuries before Columbus’ voyage, a city of over 10,000 people sprang
up just a few miles east of present day St Louis, Missouri. Today, a set of
massive grassy mounds and a wealth of artifacts pay tribute to the culture
that once thrived there. The centerpiece of the community, Monks Mound, is
the largest man-made earthen structure in North America. A set of
astronomical calendars, nicknamed “Woodhenge”, have also been uncovered at
the site. In addition to being an Illinois State Historic Site, Cahokia
Mounds has also been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Transpolar Flight Historical Marker
1 panorama; November 11, 2012
On a quiet day in
1937, a strange aircraft with massive red wings and only a single engine
suddenly appeared in the sky over the small town of San Jacinto California.
It promptly landed in a cow pasture. Any aircraft dropping in
unannounced like this would have caused a stir among the local population but
this one carried with it a truly amazing story. The aircraft was a Tupolev
ANT-25 and it had just completed a record-setting 6,305 mile, 62 hour
non-stop flight from Moscow. The crew were given a hero’s welcome and
treated to a ticker tape parade through Los Angeles. There’s
only the one panorama and not a lot to see here, but still a fascinating
part of aviation history.
