What is a Landmark?
When you're on a road trip or walking through a town, you may notice sculptures or statues alongside the road, in a park, or next to you on the sidewalk. You may notice buildings or structures that look really old or unique. It can be fun to search for landmarks like these when you travel, even on your morning route to school.
A landmark is an object or a feature of a landscape or town that has importance or makes a place easily recognizable. Landmarks will often have a sign with information explaining their importance. When you travel, pay close attention to finding new landmarks everywhere you go.
