Great job, ACHP - Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, and thank you for sharing all of these wonderful sites today! 🥰It is the International Day for Monuments and Sites, which brings global attention to the need to conserve monuments and sites as our cultural heritage and to “celebrate the diversity of this heritage.” To commemorate the day, the ACHP wants to test your knowledge of World Heritage sites in the U.S. Our first stop was keeping pirates (and the British and the Dutch) away for hundreds of years before becoming a World Heritage Site. Guess the name of this site and others throughout the day in the comments and let us know if you have visited that site, what was your experience, and what history did you learn.
