I had no idea that the U.S. Mint was embarking on another extensive quarter program, this time featuring national parks and other sites of interest. I was even more surprised to see that Hot Springs National Park (in my own state of Arkansas) will be on the first quarter minted! The land was first set aside by the federal government in 1832, before Arkansas became a state in 1836.
Here are a couple of links about the program if you want to know more:
