When the 1900s arrived, this financial powerhouse had already cemented its place in America's economic backbone, fueled by explosive growth in market activity. Stock trades had surged threefold just between 1896 and 1899, then nearly doubled again as the new century took shape. The momentum demanded expansion. Rather than settle for incremental improvements, Exchange leaders orchestrated a prestigious design competition, challenging eight of Manhattan's most visionary architects to reimagine the space. The mandate was clear: craft a trading floor bathed in natural light, with breathing room for the frenetic pace of modern commerce and thoughtfully planned amenities for dealers and brokers. Today, visitors descending into that historic trading floor during winter's quiet months can feel the weight of that ambition still resonating through the soaring halls, a stark contrast to the frenetic energy of the pit during busier seasons.

Morristown National Historical Park is nationally significant as the site of the 1779-80 winter encampment of the Continental Army under General George Washington.

The historic landscapes, structures, objects, and archeological and natural resources at Morristown are tangible links to one of the most defining events in our nation's history. Here the Continental Army under Washington's leadership emerged as a cohesive and disciplined fighting force. The Morristown experience is fundamental to both American history, and remains a source of inspiration for Americans and the world.

Over 750,000 people visit the Honolulu Zoo annually. It is the largest zoo within a radius of 2,300 miles and unique in that it is the only zoo in the United States originating from a King's grant of royal lands to the people. King David Kalakaua, Monarch of Hawai`i from 1874 to 1891, made lands of the Leahi Land Holdings available in 1876 to the people for a thirty year lease. That year, a "Kapiolani Park Association" of two hundred subscriber members assumed the administration of the three hundred-acre park. The marshy parcel was a muddle of fishponds, lagoons and islands where King Kalakaua maintained his collection of exotic birds. In 1877 the area was named after the King's wife and opened as Queen Kapiolani Park.

Within the blink of a snowflake-tipped eye, a ski resort sprang up with slalom courses, toboggan slides and iceberg walkways. Then, just as quickly, the weather shifted back to hot. The whole resort started to melt. What to do? <br> An enterprising alligator saw an opportunity! Clad in a scarf and hat, this Ice Gator slid down the snow-less ski jump, shouting 'Yahoooo!' all the way. With a big splash he landed in a pool of melted snow below the mountain. It was at this moment the slushy, slippery slopes became an exhilarating Water Park with a ski theme.
