President Obama will designate five new national monuments on Monday, March 25th, using his power under the Antiquities Act, the 1906 law that enables presidents to set aside important natural, cultural, and historical sites for permanent protection.

The five sites are the First State National Monument in Delaware and Pennsylvania (1,100-acre property that lies on the Brandywine River, Delaware and extending north into Pennsylvania), the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument in New Mexico, the San Juan Islands National Monument in Washington State, the Charles Young Buffalo Soldiers National Monument in Ohio and a monument commemorating Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad in Maryland.

President Obama dedicated four monuments under the same act in his first term: the César E. Chávez National Monument (California), the Fort Monroe National Monument (Virginia), the Fort Ord National Monument (California) and the Chimney Rock National Monument in the San Juan National Forest (Colorado). See the map below to locate the National Monuments designated under President Obama.
