    The Spot Where World War One Ended

    Historic Site
    Open Details
    When did the First World War end? Any schoolchild will tell you that it was in 1918. However, this isn't quite right. In fact, the United States didn't ratify and sign the Treaty of Versailles until 1921.
    And it happened here, on the golf course, where President Warren Harding signed the document ending World War I.
    Now there's only a memorial plaque, installed at the place of the document signing, to remind us of this significant event.
    You can stop here for a few minutes. A photograph of this memorial will serve as a testament to the historical event that ended the First World War for the United States, three years later than most people think.
    Be careful! The memorial is located very close to a busy highway.

    "War Of The Worlds" by Orson Welles

    Open Details
    Did you know that aliens attacked Earth in 1938? It didn't really happen, but thousands of people in the US were convinced it did when they heard HG Wells' radio show, War of the Worlds, performed by Orson Welles. The radio show made the whole nation shudder, and perhaps never has a performance had such a strong impact on an audience.
    In memory of this historical event, a monument has been erected in Van Nest Park with the image of a frightened family of radio listeners and Orson Welles reading the famous science fiction novel.
