The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints maintains a network of free museums, sites, monuments and markers for members and friends of the Church to interact with virtually or in person. These places show the events of the Restoration and the stories of Latter-day Saints who sacrificed to build the kingdom of God. The process of restoring, preserving, operating and sharing the Church historic sites includes making improvements and finding new ways to reach global audiences. On this episode of the Church News podcast, Jacob W. Olmstead and Benedicte Dansie with the Church History Department join Church News reporter Mary Richards to discuss how Church historic sites help visitors not only see the Church’s heritage and history but also connect with the Savior, Jesus Christ.

From cruise line bans to drone regulations, learn how breaking travel rules can have lasting consequences. Discover why 16 cruise passengers were banned and what every drone owner should know before flying. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Cruise Vacations Can End with a Lifetime Ban  Cruise Chaos Ends with Lifetime Consequences for 16 Passengers  What began as the end of a relaxing cruise turned into a chaotic scene at the Port of Miami after two families became involved in a large fight while leaving the Carnival Conquest. Video of the incident quickly spread online, showing passengers exchanging punches as shocked travelers looked on and law enforcement rushed in to restore order. According to the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office, the incident was considered a "mutual combat" situation, and no one involved chose to press charges. Even without criminal charges, Carnival Cruise Line took swift action, permanently banning 16 passengers from sailing with the company in the future. Carnival praised law enforcement for responding quickly and reiterated that violent or disruptive behavior has no place on its cruises. The incident serves as a reminder that actions taken both onboard and in cruise terminals can have lasting consequences long after a vacation ends. Reference: https://people.com/16-cruise-passengers-put-on-do-not-sail-list-after-massive-brawl-breaks-out-12005733? Can You Be Placed on a Cruise Line's "Do Not Sail" List? Many travelers don't realize cruise lines maintain their own internal "Do Not Sail" lists. Unlike the airline industry's government-managed No-Fly List, cruise companies independently decide who may be denied future bookings. Being placed on one can happen immediately following a serious incident—and in some cases, passengers don't find out until they attempt to book another cruise. Why Cruise Lines Ban Passengers Cruise vacations are designed to be safe, family-friendly experiences for thousands of guests living together in close quarters. Because of that, cruise lines enforce strict codes of conduct. Common reasons passengers find themselves permanently banned include: Physical fights or assaults onboard or in cruise terminals Threatening crew members or fellow passengers Severe intoxication leading to dangerous behavior Bringing illegal drugs or prohibited weapons onboard Damaging ship property Repeated violations of ship rules Filing fraudulent payment disputes or chargebacks after completing a cruise Even if local police do not file charges, cruise lines can still determine that a passenger violated company policy and prohibit future travel. No Criminal Charges Doesn't Mean No Consequences The Miami incident highlights an important distinction. Law enforcement determined the fight was a mutual combat situation, and none of the participants wanted to pursue criminal charges. However, Carnival still exercised its right as a private company to deny future service. Just as restaurants, hotels, airlines, and sporting venues may refuse service after violent incidents, cruise companies reserve the same authority through the passenger ticket contract every guest agrees to before boarding. Is There One Universal Cruise Blacklist? Not exactly. Unlike the federal No-Fly List used by airlines, there is no single worldwide "No Sail List" shared across every cruise company. However, several major cruise brands operate under the same corporate ownership. In serious cases involving violence, illegal activity, or significant financial losses, passenger information may be shared among affiliated cruise lines, potentially affecting future bookings across multiple brands. Know the Rules Before Flying Your Private Drone! Travel Smarter by Knowing the Rules Before You Go Flying drones in U.S. National Parks is strictly prohibited. The National Park Service enforces a federal ban on launching, landing, or operating unmanned aircraft on all lands and waters it administers. [1, 2] However, rules at State Parks vary widely depending on the specific location and state. National Parks: The ban applies to all U.S. National Parks, Monuments, and Historic Sites to protect wildlife, preserve natural quiet, and ensure visitor safety. Violating this rule can result in up to 6 months in jail and fines of up to $5,000. [1, 2, 3]  State by State: State-level rules differ dramatically. Some states ban drones entirely, others allow them only in specifically designated areas, and a few require you to apply and pay for a recreational or commercial permit in advance.  Federal Airspace: Manned or permitted flights require checking FAA regulations, including passing the TRUST test and using airspace applications.

This week on Breaking Battlegrounds, hosts Chuck Warren and Sam Stone bring listeners a special Fourth of July episode focused on America's founding principles, political hypocrisy, civic education, and a chilling unsolved Independence Day murder case. First, Sam Stone is joined by Jay Lapeyre, CEO of Laitram LLC, Board Chair of the Cato Institute and The Atlas Society, and a founding leader of the Free Society Coalition. Jay discusses the Declaration of Independence, the moral foundations of liberty, and why America's founding truths still matter today. He explains how the Declaration project grew out of a desire to move beyond partisan division by focusing on shared principles, civil discourse, human dignity, moral agency, and the pursuit of happiness. Sam and Jay also explore the Free Society Coalition's Declaration challenge, which encourages Americans to read, reflect on, and discuss the Declaration of Independence with family, friends, and neighbors. Next, Chuck Warren talks with Andrew Kerr, investigative reporter at The Washington Free Beacon, about his reporting on congressional financial disclosures and the wealth of politicians who campaign as working-class champions. Andrew explains how lawmakers can delay disclosures, why some still file in analog format, and what he found in Rep. Ro Khanna's financial records, including family interests tied to private golf clubs and wealth management. They also discuss Arizona Democrat Joanna Mendoza and questions raised after changes to her reported net worth. Follow Andrew Kerr  X: @AndrewKerrNC Then, Brenda Hafera, Assistant Director and Research Fellow in The Heritage Foundation's B. Kenneth Simon Center for American Studies, joins the show to discuss the Heritage Guide to Historic Sites. Brenda explains how the interactive guide evaluates historic sites across the country for accuracy, bias, and educational value ahead of America's 250th anniversary. She also breaks down the American Revolution, the Stamp Act, religious institutions, civic virtue, literacy, self-government, and why everyday Americans should return to primary source documents to better understand the country's founding. Explore the Heritage Guide to Historic Sites at the website below: historicsites.heritage.org Finally, B's Crime Corner closes the episode with a Fourth of July true crime story: the unsolved murders of Shane Stewart and Sally McNelly. B walks through the timeline of the 1988 case, the suspects who emerged over the years, the Satanic Panic surrounding the investigation, and the lingering questions that remain decades later.

Jonathan Sayeh and Bill Roggio investigate reports of damaged historic sites in Iran, suggesting they are Iranian information operations.

Newt talks welcomes Brenda Hafera of The Heritage Foundation to discuss the Heritage Guide to Historic Sites, an interactive website launched ahead of America's 250th anniversary that profiles historic sites across the original 13 colonies, with more states to follow. Hafera and Newt reflect on the power of visiting places like Mount Vernon, Gettysburg, and Independence Hall, where history can be felt rather than just read. The conversation turns to growing efforts to distort America's founding story, including a major foundation's push to remove monuments to figures like Washington and Lincoln in the name of "inclusivity." Hafera explains why preserving accurate, accessible history at the local level is essential to civic education and to passing on an informed, grounded patriotism to the next generation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In July of 1777, gunshots rang out over Philadelphia. At first glance, this may not be surprising, as America was still in the throes of the Revolutionary War. But it was not the redcoats who were firing that night. It was Americans, celebrating the very first anniversary of their independence. The edition fo the Philadelphia Evening Post, published on July 15 1777 described the celebration thus:  Yesterday the 4th of July, being the anniversary of the Independence of the United States of America, was celebrated in this city with demonstrations of joy and festivity. About noon all the armed ships and gallies in the river were drawn up before the city, dressed in the gayest manner, with the colors of the United States and streamers displayed. At one o'clock, the yards being properly manned, they began the celebration of the day by a discharge of thirteen cannon from each of the ships, and one from each of the thirteen gallies, in honor of the Thirteen United States … The evening was closed with the ringing of bells, and at night there was a grand exhibition of fireworks (which began and concluded with thirteen rockets) on the Commons, and the city was beautifully illuminated. Next month, our nation will celebrate the 250th anniversary of Independence. While our struggles have changed, our civic and spiritual heritage has not. I invited Brenda Hafera, the Assistant Director for the Simon Center for American Studies, to share some thoughts about Independence Day and what we are doing this Fourth of July to keep the American dream alive.    Email us with thoughts, questions, or suggestions: HeritageExplains@heritage.org   Heritage Guide to Historic Sites: https://historicsites.heritage.org/ American Founders: https://www.heritage.org/american-founders More by Brenda Hafera: https://www.heritage.org/staff/brenda-hafera

There are places in Ireland that ask travelers to slow down, look around, and settle into the rhythm of a place instead of rushing through a checklist. Clare Island and Clew Bay in County Mayo are exactly that kind of destination. Just off the coast near Westport, Clare Island offers dramatic landscapes, deep history, welcoming locals, and experiences that feel personal rather than polished for crowds. During a visit to the island, Clare Island Whiskey founder Carl O'Grady shared why this corner of Mayo leaves such a lasting impression on travelers. This article is based on podcast episode 339 featuring Carl O'Grady, owner of Clare Island Whiskey and resident of Clare Island.Use the player below to listen or scroll to continue reading the article and get resource links. Why Clare Island and Clew Bay Are Perfect for Slow Travel in Ireland For many visitors, an Ireland itinerary follows the well-known route through Dublin, Cork, Kerry, Galway, and the Cliffs of Moher. But County Mayo offers something quieter and more intentional. Carl describes the area as a place where travelers can reconnect with Ireland's stories, landscapes, and communities without feeling rushed. Instead of racing between attractions, visitors are encouraged to spend time exploring villages, talking with locals, and experiencing daily life along the Wild Atlantic Way. The journey itself becomes part of the experience. Reaching Clare Island requires a ferry crossing from Roonagh Pier, a short trip that immediately creates a sense of leaving the mainland behind and arriving somewhere distinct. What Makes Clare Island Different Unlike some of Ireland's busier offshore islands, Clare Island remains small and quiet. The island is about five miles long and home to roughly 100 year-round residents. That smaller scale means visitors won't find large crowds or packed tour groups. Instead, they'll discover: Scenic walking trails Quiet beaches Dramatic cliffs Local pubs with music sessions Historical sites connected to Grace O'Malley Opportunities to connect directly with local businesses and guides The island's slower pace is part of its appeal. Exploring Clew Bay from Westport Westport makes an excellent base for exploring Clew Bay and the wider Mayo region. With major updates underway at Westport Estate, the area is becoming an even stronger destination for travelers looking to stay longer in the west of Ireland. From Westport, visitors can easily explore: The Great Western Greenway cycling route Beaches near Louisburgh Croagh Patrick Achill Island Oyster experiences in Clew Bay Sea safaris along the Mayo coastline Clare Island ferry excursions Plan Your Trip, Not Just Your Stops Articles like this highlight a few great options — but they're just a small part of what Ireland offers. The Ireland Travel Compass brings together hundreds of places across the country and helps you understand how to combine them into a trip that feels balanced and easy to navigate. Explore the Ireland Travel Compass Experiences Around Clew Bay Carl highlighted several memorable experiences visitors should consider while exploring the area. Cycle the Great Western Greenway The Greenway follows a former railway line from Westport through Newport and onward toward Achill. Along the route, travelers pass through villages, coastal scenery, and quiet countryside that showcase everyday life in Mayo. Taste Local Seafood Clew Bay is known for exceptional oysters and seafood experiences. Visitors can learn about oyster farming, taste fresh oysters, and enjoy the bay's connection to the Atlantic. Take a Sea Safari Boat trips around Clare Island and the Mayo coastline offer views of towering sea cliffs, seabird colonies, and marine wildlife. Depending on the season, visitors may spot basking sharks, whales, dolphins, and seabirds along the coast. Visit Mayo's Beaches The beaches near Louisburgh and along the Clew Bay coastline are among the most beautiful in Ireland, offering long stretches of sand and incredible Atlantic views without large crowds. Grace O'Malley's Legacy on Clare Island Travelers arriving on Clare Island are greeted by Grace O'Malley's castle overlooking the harbor. Known as the Pirate Queen of Connacht, Grace O'Malley remains one of Ireland's most fascinating historical figures. Carl recommends Anne Chambers' book on Grace O'Malley for anyone interested in learning more about her life and influence. Historic Sites on Clare Island Beyond the castle, the island offers several important historical landmarks. Clare Island Abbey The 12th-century abbey contains rare medieval ceiling paintings dating to the 13th and 14th centuries. The abbey remains one of the island's most significant cultural sites and offers insight into centuries of island life. The Lighthouse The Clare Island Lighthouse has been restored into a unique accommodation experience overlooking the Atlantic. Carl's uncle served as the last lighthouse keeper there during the 1960s. Today, visitors can stay at the lighthouse while enjoying panoramic views of Clew Bay, Croagh Patrick, and the Mayo coastline. Clare Island Whiskey and Supporting the Island Community One of the island's most distinctive visitor experiences is Clare Island Whiskey. Carl explained that the goal is not mass production or global expansion. Instead, the focus is on creating a meaningful experience tied directly to the island and its future. Visitors can join whiskey tastings, learn about the island's history, and meet the people behind the business. The experience reflects the island's overall philosophy of thoughtful tourism and supporting local communities. Staying on Clare Island Visitors have several accommodation options on the island, including: Boutique guesthouses Bed and breakfasts Lighthouse stays Group accommodations Retreat-style experiences For families or multigenerational groups, staying overnight allows time to fully appreciate the island after day visitors depart. Planning a Visit to Clare Island Getting to Clare Island is relatively simple, but it does require a bit more planning than other destinations along the Wild Atlantic Way. Ferries depart from Roonagh Pier near Louisburgh, and weather conditions can occasionally affect crossings during winter months. That extra effort is part of what keeps Clare Island feeling authentic and connected to its community roots. Travelers who make the journey are rewarded with dramatic scenery, meaningful history, and the kind of welcome that leaves a lasting impression long after the ferry returns to the mainland. Start planning your own route The Ireland Travel Compass brings together hundreds of places across the country and helps you turn ideas like these into a trip that fits your time and travel style.

What does it take to guide visitors through histories that are genuinely contested and emotionally charged? In this episode, I'm joined by Brandon Dillard, Director of Historic Interpretation and Audience Engagement at Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, and Kelsie Paul, Director of Learning and Visitor Experience at the Frick Pittsburgh, to explore how both institutions have reimagined their guided experiences in response to the complicated legacies of their central historical figures.We talk about the long evolution of interpretation at Monticello, from the site's earliest tours to the integration of slavery and the story of Sally Hemings into the core narrative. Kelsie shares the process behind the Frick's "Gilded, Not Golden" tour - a ground-up redesign of Clayton's 30-year-old house tour that involved consultants, an advisory board, difficult internal conversations and a willingness to start from scratch.We also dig into what it means to support guides doing this work: hiring for empathy, investing in training, facilitating ongoing dialogue, and empowering guides to be facilitators rather than lecturers. And we reflect on the civic role of historic sites in a polarised moment, including how Monticello is approaching the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.Whether you're working at a historic house, leading tours in any kind of museum or cultural space, or thinking about how to hold space for complexity in your guided programmes, I think you'll find a great deal to take away from this conversation.The Art Engager is written and presented by Claire Bown.

A long‑vacant department store building on the east side of Fashion Fair Mall once home to Weinstock’s, Gottschalk’s, and most recently Forever 21 is now headed for demolition. Though its late‑modernist, almost brutalist design carries decades of Fresno retail nostalgia, the 50‑plus‑year‑old structure is not considered historically significant, clearing the way for its removal.

Spring in Georgia brings warmer weather, longer days and a renewed desire to get outdoors. SeKoixa Gonzalez, public affairs coordinator, and Austin Suhr, marketing and communications manager for Georgia State Parks and Historic Sites, join Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to share how Georgia's parks provide memorable experiences while supporting local communities and preserving natural resources. Discover Hidden Gems and Accessible Outdoor Experiences With 66 destinations across the state, Georgia's park system offers outdoor recreation, educational programs and overnight accommodations for visitors of all ages. Gonzalez highlights one of the state's lesser-known treasures: Seminole State Park. Located in southwest Georgia near the Florida and Alabama borders, the park features kayaking, geocaching and a sandy beach. Accessible cabins, picnic shelters and fishing docks ensure that all visitors can enjoy the park. A Statewide System Built for Exploration and Education From mountain trails to coastal ecosystems, Georgia's state parks provide environments for both recreation and learning. Gonzalez said, “Whether you love hiking in the mountains, relaxing along the lakeside cabins, exploring Civil War and Revolutionary history or discovering ancient archeology sites, there's something for everyone.” The park system prioritizes education through ranger-led programs, interpretive hikes and historic site tours that connect visitors to Georgia's natural and cultural heritage. Gonzalez said, “It's about creating meaningful connections, so that people leave not only refreshed, but informed and inspired to protect what they've enjoyed that day.” Family-Friendly Programs Encourage Deeper Connections During peak season, interactive programs engage visitors of all ages. The Junior Ranger program allows participants to explore a park or historic site, complete activity booklets and earn badges, often being sworn in by a ranger. The program appeals to both children and adults. “Top of my list to recommend to everybody is our Junior Ranger program,” said Suhr. “It's a way to learn a little more about which park or historic site you're at.” Ranger-led activities such as archery, fire-building and guided hikes complement themed “Park Clubs” focused on paddling, mountain biking, hiking and even exploring trails with pets. Overnight Options Go Beyond Traditional Camping Campsites remain central to the park experience, but Georgia's parks offer a variety of overnight accommodations. Visitors can reserve RV sites with upgraded hookups, try yurts for a “glamping” experience or stay in cottages for family outings. Suhr said, “We also have some great cottages around the state, and those come in a bunch of different shapes and sizes.” Spring and summer are the busiest seasons, so early booking is recommended. Georgia residents can reserve accommodations up to 14 months in advance, gaining an extra edge for popular holidays and weekends. Parks Play a Key Role in Georgia's Growth and Economy As metro areas expand, access to green space shapes community development, with parks and trails becoming important anchors for surrounding neighborhoods. State parks also drive economic growth, supporting tourism, small businesses and job creation. Preservation protects these benefits for generations. The impact of Hurricane Helene at General Coffee State Park illustrates this: significant tree loss led to reduced visitation, affecting both the park and the local economy. Expanding Access to the Outdoors for All Georgia State Parks and Historic Sites continues to expand accessibility and inclusion through initiatives such as the Outdoors Beyond Barriers program. All-terrain track chairs, colorblind glasses and adaptive equipment open outdoor experiences to more visitors. Suhr said, “We're working across the entire Department of Natural Resources to make the outdoors more accessible for more Georgians.” Don't miss the full episode for insider tips on exploring Georgia's parks, from hidden gems to family-friendly programs and accessible outdoor experiences.

About Georgia State Parks & Historic Sites Georgia State Parks and Historic Sites manages 66 destinations across the state, protecting Georgia's natural landscapes, historic landmarks and cultural heritage. The system provides opportunities for outdoor recreation and educational programs, connecting residents and visitors to the state's diverse ecosystems and history.

During World War II, the United States government rounded up over 120,000 Japanese Americans, most of whom were U.S. citizens, and sent them to remote incarceration camps across the western United States for suspected disloyalty. One of those camps was Manzanar, located in the harsh desert of eastern California. When a popular community leader was arrested without explanation, thousands of incarcerated residents gathered in protest, sparking what we now know as the Manzanar Uprising, which left two people dead and changed the course of history.

As we enter this Thanksgiving week on the eve of our nation's 250th anniversary, it is critical to understand places of historical significance in our country.

Newt talks with Brenda Hafera about the Heritage Foundation's new initiative, the Heritage Guide to Historic Sites, launched ahead of the United States' 250th anniversary. The guide, available at historicsites.heritage.org is an interactive online map designed to help tourists, especially families and educators, rediscover America’s Heritage by exploring significant historic sites across the original 13 colonies, with plans to expand nationwide by 2026. The guide provides detailed information about each site, including historical significance, book recommendations, and considerations for family visits. It also evaluates sites for historical accuracy and ideological bias, addressing concerns about the portrayal of American history. Hafera discusses the challenges of preserving historical accuracy amidst efforts to revise history through a modern ideological lens. The guide aims to foster a deeper understanding of American history and values, encouraging families to plan educational trips that celebrate the nation's heritage.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, July 14, in the United States, we celebrate the Feast Day of St. Kateri Tekakwitha (1656-1680), the first native American to be declared a Saint.Born in 1656 near Auriesville, New York, she was the daughter of a pagan Mohawk chief and a Christian Algonquin woman.When she was a child, a smallpox epidemic attacked her tribe, and both her parents and brother died. She was left with permanent scars on her face and impaired eyesight. Her uncle, who had now become chief of the tribe, adopted her, and her aunts began planning her marriage while she was still very young.A Jesuit missionary baptized Kateri (taking the name Katery after Catherine of Siena) Tekakwitha at the age of twenty. Like her namesake, she was drawn into intimate communion with God and suffered persecution for his sake, incurring the hostility of her tribe.She devoted her life to prayer, penitential practices, and caring for the sick and aged in Caughnawaga, a Jesuit mission near Montreal, where she escaped. There, she spent the last three years of her life giving herself to prayer, mortification, and works of charity.Moved by God's love for humanity, she saw the dignity in each of her people. She was devoted to the Eucharist and to Jesus Christ crucified. Known as the “Lily of the Mohawks,” Kateri spent her short life dedicating herself entirely to God through long hours of prayer and practicing severe fasting as penance for the conversion of her nation.She died at the age of 24. Witnesses reported that within minutes of her death, the scars from smallpox completely vanished, and her face shone with radiant beauty.Devotion to Kateri began immediately after her death, and her body, enshrined in Caughnawaga, near Montreal, in Quebec — where she grew in holiness and devotion to the Blessed Sacrament — is visited by many each year.Additionally, Our Lady of Martyrs Shrine, in Fultonville, NY, the birthplace of St. Kateri Tekakwitha, is a great place to make a pilgrimage. Another shrine to visit is the St. Kateri Tekakwitha National Shrine and Historic Site in Fonda, NY.She was beatified by Pope John Paul II in 1980, and canonized by Pope Benedict XVI on October 21, 2012.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!
