“Small Cave No More”: Jewel Cave National Monument
Learn about one of the longest caves in the world! Hundreds of feet beneath our tour
routes, Jewel Cave’s passageways descend deep enough to intersect the Madison
Aquifer. At these points, cave explorers have discovered 14 underground lakes! When
our exploration teams add new mileage to the cave, they encounter passageways and
formations that have never before been seen by human eyes. The first lake discovered
in Jewel Cave, Hourglass Lake, was encountered by an exploration team in 2015. Over
220 miles long, Jewel Cave is known for its length and the unique crystal formations
that cover the cave walls. Join a ranger to learn about the cave’s formation, discovery,
and modern exploration. Call COA at 603 526-6368 to register. Space is limited!

Martin Van Buren National Historic Site
“All in all, he’s a riddle that must puzzle the devil.”— Davy Crockett
Today, Martin Van Buren is an obscure man, often little more than a footnote. In pre-
Civil War America, however, it was impossible not to have an opinion of him. Van Buren
was central to the creation of America’s political parties and to the largest crisis of his
time, slavery. The above quote is from Davy Crockett, one of many Americans trying to
understand the Red Fox of Kinderhook. When Martin Van Buren was born in 1782, the
Founding Fathers had just laid the foundations for the new nation in the Constitution
and Bill of Rights. The actual workings of the government were far from settled. Issues
that separated political activists included states’ rights, the establishment of a National
Bank, a standing army, international commerce and the powers of the Federal
Government, to name a few. Join us as we learn about this historic site, Lindenwald, an
estate he purchased in his hometown of Kinderhook in 1839. After his presidency,
Lindenwald became not only a family home, but a political base.

“Freer in Egypt”: National Museum of Asian Art
Charles Lang Freer developed an interest in Ancient Near Eastern objects in 1902 when
he began to collect examples of the region’s ceramic vessels, such as glazed jars from
the Parthian period (247 BCE–224 CE) and ancient Egyptian statuettes in faience (e.g.,
F1902.24 ). His interest increased over the years and culminated in 1906 when he
embarked on his first trip to Egypt. The journey started in Detroit in November and after
a stop in New York and Philadelphia, he reached Naples on November 29, 1906. From
there he sailed with the SS Oceana and reached Alexandria on December 8, 1906.
Freer traveled throughout Egypt for about two months until January 1907, allowing him
to develop his first impressions of the country. Call COA at 603 526-6368 to register.
