There are many great monuments in Miami that are mentioned on the United States list of National Historical Landmarks, a superb tool for anyone who is searching for unique places to experience and has a wish to find out lots more about the history of the U.S..

Freedom Tower

Perhaps the most widely recognized of the Miami monuments is Freedom Tower. Frequently referred to as the Ellis Island of Miami, Freedom Tower is where many Cubans came to immigrate to the United States. The tower was given to Miami Dade College and is now used often to host art items. This landmark is located in the middle of Miami is picturesque and a great spot for images.

Miami Biltmore Hotel and Country Club

The Miami Biltmore is a luxury unlike all others. The spa services, the perfectly maintained golf course, unparalleled dining experiences (like Palme d'Or, which was ranked best overall experience by Zagat), the Biltmore Culinary Academy (where celebrity chefs give hands on lessons to guests), all mix to give an elegant and refined experience for any adventuring.

Ferdinand Magellan-United States Car No. 1

One of the Miami monuments that's at the Gold Coast Railroad Museum is the Ferdinand Magellan, the 1st Presidential Rail Car. While the interior of the train isn't available for public viewing the established history of this auto makes it a very important part of American History.

Anyone with an interest in trains will have a great time having a hands on experience with the retired train cars and a great opportunity to ride some of the trains that've been restored by patrons.
