21. Welcome To Tryon Palace Historic Sites & Gardens from 1760 to 1770 at comparable estates in great britain. Williams tried several historic houses and gardens operated by Tryon Palace historic sites Gardens http://www.tryonpalace.org/pages/welcomepgs/a7_footpg.html

The Tryon Palace Gardens The Architects of the Palace Gardens: Claude Joseph Sauthier Morley Jeffers Williams ... Birds that may be seen in the Tryon Palace gardens and the lower Trent River The Tryon Palace Gardens Back to list Information about the original Tryon Palace landscape is scarce. Royal governor William Tryon expressed little interest in horticulture and made only a few references to gardens in his letters. Two maps of New Bern drawn in 1769, while the Palace was under construction, reveal two different garden plans. Yet, information about the gardens can come from the most unexpected sources. In 1783 Palace architect John Hawks gave a plan of the Palace gardens to Venezuelan traveler Francisco de Miranda, who was then in New Bern as part of his tour of the newborn United States. Only in 1991 did Tryon Palace researchers discover the plan in the collections of the Academia Nacional de la Historia in Venezuela. This plan suggests a strong French influence instead of the more expected English garden style. The lack of historical and archaeological evidence created a challenge in restoring the gardens in 1955. Landscape architect Morley Williams agreed "to create an appropriate setting for the handsome Georgian brick mansion by having gardens constructed and planted like those which flourished from 1760 to 1770 at comparable estates in Great Britain." Williams tried to balance the idea of an accurate restoration with the desire to create an aesthetically pleasing garden for the modern visitor. The result is a garden that has "an essentially eighteenth century flavor" even if it is not completely accurate in style or plant materials.

CHAPTER XX HISTORIC SITES AND MONUMENTS 1. As explained in Part I of this Report the responsibility for the preservation and marking of historic sites and monuments has been for many years entrusted to the National Parks Service of the Department of Resources and Development. The Parks Service is advised by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board, appointed by the Federal Government and composed, in the main, of historians of repute, together with the Dominion Archivist and a representative of the Parks Branch. The Board meets once a year to consider and advise upon the marking of sites which are brought to its attention by its own members and others. 2. We should like to express our admiration of the work done through the voluntary efforts of the Board, and through the interest and energy of the Parks Service of which the Historic Sites and Monuments Division operates on a limited budget ($135,000). As mentioned in Part I, many important sites have been marked, and many historic structures have been restored and are now maintained. 3. We believe, however, that the time has now come for a considerable expansion of this programme and for some modification of policy. We conceive that, without neglecting the important material consideration of attracting the tourist, the principal object of the Board should be to instruct Canadians about their history through the emotional and imaginative appeal of associated objects. Factual information can be obtained in books; the function of the monument or marker is, we assume, to convey a sense of the reality of the past. We do not ignore the entertainment value; but we consider the enjoyment of national history to be a form of entertainment not sufficiently familiar to Canadians.

Polk's father, Samuel, this Federal-style house is the only surviving home of America's eleventh President. James K. Polk lived here with his parents from 1818 to 1824, when he began his legal and political career. His rise to national prominence included serving as governor of Tennessee from 1839 to 1841, and culminated in 1844, when he was elected as a "darkhorse" Democratic candidate for the Presidency. He died of cholera in Nashville at age 53 on June 15, 1849, three months after stepping down from the White House. During his administration, the United States gained 800,000 square miles of territory by conquest, treaty, and purchase. At Polk's urging, the United States annexed the Republic of Texas. As a result of the Mexican War, which Polk advocated, Mexico ceded land which now comprises Arizona, Nevada, California, and Utah, as well as parts of New Mexico, Colorado, and Wyoming. Polk departed from his party's campaign slogan of "Fifty-four forty or fight!" and approved a compromise with Great Britain by which the United States obtained the land which is now Idaho, Oregon, and Washington and parts of Montana and Wyoming. With extension of this country's borders from the Atlantic to the Pacific came fulfillment of what some saw as its "manifest destiny," a romantic concept and rallying cry at the time.

Rod R. Blagojevich, Governor IHPA Links Director's Office Historic Sites Preservation Services Historical Library ... Home Search Illinois Cahokia Courthouse Cahokia Courthouse, built about 1740, is a unique remnant of the French in Illinois. Constructed as a dwelling about 1730, the building became a courthouse in 1793, and for twenty years it served as a center of political activity in the Old Northwest Territory. The structure was dismantled in 1901, re-erected twice, and reconstructed on its original site in 1939. The Cahokia Courthouse is an excellent example of early French log construction known as poteaux-sur-solle (post-on-sill foundation). The upright hewn logs are seated on a horizontal sill log; the spaces between logs are filled with stone and mortar chinking. The courthouse rests on its original foundation of stone nearly two feet thick. Walnut beams extend the cantilever roof over the porch. Inside are four rooms that originally functioned as a courtroom, a schoolroom, and offices for attorneys and clerks. Early Cahokia The Cahokia area was settled in 1698 by priests of the Seminary of Foreign Missions at Quebec who built a log church outpost dedicated to the Holy Family. As missionaries they Christianized local Indian tribes until Jesuit priests disputed their right to convert these tribes. The King of France recognized the Seminary missionaries as the church's sole local representatives, prompting the Jesuits to move south to Kaskaskia where they established a mission among the Kaskaskia tribe.

Rod R. Blagojevich, Governor IHPA Links Director's Office Historic Sites Preservation Services Historical Library ... Home Search Illinois Fort Kaskaskia Fort Kaskaskia State Historic Site consists of over 200 acres situated on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River. The site features the remnants of an earthen-work and timber fortification constructed by the French sometime during the mid-1700's. The parapets and dry moat are still visible. The site played a role in Illinois pre-statehood history, from its early involvement with the French to its role in the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1803. Garrison Hill Cemetery is also part of the historic site. The remains of some 3,000 gravesites were re-interred here. They were removed from several cemeteries on Kaskaskia Island as a result of the flood of 1881, which eventually destroyed the town of Kaskaskia, Illinois, the first state capital. The site offers one of the finest overlooks which affords the vistor a view of the Mississippi River, the mouth of the Kaskaskia River, present day Kaskaskia Island and the site of the original village.
