America's first declared national monument (in 1906): Devils Tower in northeast Wyoming, also known by more benign names, including Bear Lodge, by indigenous American Indians. The National Park Service, which manages the attraction, declares each June as a "climb-free" period (with mixed success), out of respect for nearby tribes, who consider the monument sacred and loathe the “Devils Tower” name.

Sanctuary of the Nativity of Mary, Blessed Virgin Catholic Church, also known as the St. Mary Catholic Church, in High Hill, a little community near Schulenberg in Fayette County, Texas.

They also painted the walls and ceiling of Saint Joseph's Catholic Church in San Antonio. Original image from Carol M. Highsmith’s America, Library of Congress collection.
