It’s National Park Week!


April 16 sees the kickoff of National Park Week, an annual promotion put on by the National Park Service (who else!) to encourage all Americans to get out and visit the nation's 394 National Park units (that includes both natural parks, like Yellowstone, as well as historical and cultural parks, like Independence).

Here's an overview of what's going on this week at the park I work at (in the summer): Independence National Historical Park.
