Overview
Discover the Great Lakes and how they connect people and places—and why that matters for the future.
In Our Great Lakes, children discover the history, importance, and beauty of the world’s largest group of freshwater lakes. Clear explanations and stunning photographs help kids see how the Great Lakes formed, what makes them unique, and how they support ecosystems, provide drinking water, and connect states and nations. Along the way, kids build early social studies and geography skills as they investigate how the Great Lakes region has changed over time—and why protecting freshwater resources is a shared responsibility.
Our Great Lakes:

From drinking water and ecosystems to trade, travel, and conservation, the Great Lakes are a remarkable landmark and an essential natural resource.
The Remarkable Landmarks series helps children connect places to the stories and ideas that shaped the United States.
