Additional Description: Top Photo Caption:
Iowa Congressman John Fletcher Lacey strongly advocated the protection of public lands. The Antiquities Act of 1906, which protects “objects of historic or scientific interest” on federal lands, is often called “The Lacey Act.”

One of the first areas to be protected under the Antiquities Act was Petrified Forest National Monument in 1906. Fittingly, Lacey Point with its broad vistas was named in honor of this visionary conservationist.
