Description

Our National Park Service’s 100th birthday is behind us, but the parks continue to be in the news. Parks are loved, used, and threatened from several directions. We will take a look at the early history of our National Parks and determine what makes them unique and worth preserving. Remember the parks that are a part of your own family’s past and discover which parks have appeal for your next adventures.
