Historic/Cultural Sites

Our national public lands offer many opportunities for visiting historic and cultural sites. You can learn about the founding of our country, the lives of noted individuals, the development of American culture and much more. Learning from books and movies is important but actually seeing the location where history was made adds new dimensions to historical understanding. Actually, many historic sites were the very reason that a park was developed to protect the site. The idea is that historical and cultural sites should be accessible by everyone and taken care of for future generations. So go and learn. Fees and schedules vary from park to park so check ahead. Tips and Ideas for Visiting Historic Sites: - Read and research prior to visiting the historic site.
- Take notebooks and pencils for everyone.
- Consider making a list for a scavenger hunt at the historical location. You won't be able to gather anything of course but each participant could take digital photos and the first person who finds everything on the list winds.
