John, 

Did you know that national monuments are more than statues and
historic markers? They encompass iconic landscapes, underwater realms,
and sites of profound cultural and historical
significance.  

Here are a few interesting details about national monuments that might
surprise you from our latest story, "Seven Facts You Should Know
about National Monuments:"

1. Presidential Power: Unlike national parks, which Congress creates,
a president can establish or expand a national monument by using the
Antiquities Act of 1906. This means that with a single executive
action, a president can protect federal land for its historical,
scientific, or cultural importance.

2. Monumental Diversity: Our national monuments include many sites,
from the iconic Statue of Liberty to the vast landscapes of
Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument in Hawai'i.
These protected areas can be found on land and underwater, preserving
everything from cultural landmarks to natural wonders.

3. Multifaceted Uses: National monuments offer various activities,
from camping and hiking to fishing and horseback riding. Some
monuments even permit uses such as cattle grazing, protecting rights
that predate their designation.

Curious to see all seven facts? Dive deeper into the captivating world
of national monuments by reading the full story.
