San Juan Island National Historical Park preserves and protects nearly 1,800 acres on San Juan Island, including prairies, lagoons, forests, and mountains, and more than six miles of saltwater shoreline. Under the park's protective watch are seven historic structures dating to the 1860s and a rich archaeological resource of prehistorical and historical objects, as well as habitats rich with plants and animals. In addition, from 1859 through 1872, Great Britain and the United States jointly occupied San Juan Island while the water boundary between the two nations was settled. During this time, the "pig war," a dispute which nearly escalated to war, occurred. In 1872, Kaiser Wilhelm I of Germany, given the right to choose ownership of the island, determined that it would become a U.S. possession, officially creating the boundary between the U.S. and Canada. San Juan Island National Historical Park tells the story of the island through the British and American camp sites, during the joint occupation and the years prior, inclusive of island prehistory.

The park offers exhibits, pig war traveling trunks and curriculum, self-guided walks, ranger-led talks and tours, reenactments, and demonstrations.

The Palo Alto Battlefield National Historic Site preserves the site of the May 8, 1846 battle which officially initiated the U.S.-Mexican War. The war was fought to determine the boundary of Texas. During this battle, Mexican forces effectively delayed the advancement of U.S. troops and continued their siege of Fort Texas. However, these benefits had a high cost in casualties—102, as opposed to nine U.S. deaths.

The site offers a 15-minute introductory film, exhibits, wayside interpretive panels, a half-mile trail, Junior Ranger activities, educational programs for students, and one-hour outreach programs for students. The film is available in English and Spanish. All educational programs require at least two weeks advance notice.

Six officers killed during the battle—three American and three British—are interred on site.

The memorial offers an observation deck, talks, and musket and carronade firing demonstrations. Talks are offered between mid-June and August, and the demonstrations take place on weekends.

The Castillo de San Marcos National Monument contains the original Castillo de San Marcos, a fortification built by the Spanish to defend their position in America.
