The Dakota Zoo opened its gates on June 3, 1961 on 15 acres of developed land, with 75 mammals and 23 birds, and 40,000 visitors passed through the gates that first year. Today, thanks to the continued support of members, visitors, donors and volunteers, the Dakota Zoo has grown to a 90 acre facility housing 600 animals, birds, reptiles and fish representing 125 species and visited by more than 130,000 people each year.

Very few people have had a full-grown black bear look in the window of their family car, or if they have, it was not by choice. Even fewer have seen a reindeer or a elk up close. However, many people are getting experiences like these at Bear Country U.S.A. in the Black Hills of South Dakota.

A small group of people with a big dream...building a zoo. A world-class zoo that would serve as a conservation hub where people could gather to learn about animals. A place to escape from the urban world and get closer to nature, to be reminded of the diversity of the life with which we share this planet.
They had the vision, but now they needed the resources. Frank Vega, past publisher of Florida Today, recruited several community leaders and the dream started to take shape. Executives from the major aerospace companies formed teams to work on architectural designs as well as to provide the labor for the new Zoo. A. Duda and Sons generously donated the land - a prime location for the Zoo.

Mount Rushmore National Memorial is host to almost three million visitors a year from across the country and around the world.

All the cultures that make up the fabric of this country are represented by the memorial and surrounding Black Hills.

Em 16 de junho de 1950, foi inaugurado o Estádio do Maracanã, no Rio de Janeiro, para que o Brasil pudesse sediar a Copa do Mundo, já que a Europa encontrava-se abalada pela Segunda Guerra Mundial. Com grande incentivo do jornalista Mário Filho, que depois foi homenageado dando seu nome ao estádio, a obra finalmente pôde ser concretizada, contrariando a opinião pública e políticos, que defendiam a aplicação do dinheiro na construção de hospitais e escolas.
Os grandes jogadores da história do futebol brasileiro iniciaram e consagraram suas carreiras no estádio. A primeira vez que Pelé jogou pela seleção brasileira foi no Maracanã, em 1957. Em 1961, fez o primeiro “gol de placa” e, em 19 de novembro de 1969, marcou ali seu milésimo gol. O Botafogo ganhou seu primeiro título somente sete anos depois da inauguração do estádio, com uma das maiores exibições de Garrincha em todos os tempos. O maior artilheiro da história do Maracanã é Zico, com 333 gols em 435 partidas.

Fundado em 1590 por monges vindos da Bahia, o Mosteiro beneditino do Rio de Janeiro foi construído a pedido dos próprios habitantes da recém fundada cidade de São Sebastião. Em pleno Centro da grande metrópole, conserva-se aqui um lugar de silêncio, paz, oração e trabalho, que se traduz em diversas atividades mantidas regularmente. As duas principais são as celebrações diárias do Ofício Divino e da Missa, com canto gregoriano. Além disso, funcionam dentro da Abadia: o Colégio de São Bento, as Edições Lumen Christi, a Faculdade de São Bento, a Casa de retiros de Emaús e a Obra Social São Bento. O Mosteiro mantém também duas casas de retiro e encontros: a Casa de São Bento, no Alto da Boa Vista, e o Sitio Seio de Abrahão, em Teresópolis.
