National

[edit]
  • 2013 – Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial: Dedicated in 2011, this is the newest memorial on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. It pays tribute to the civil rights leader who believed in hope, justice, democracy, and love. Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a tireless advocate for oppressed peoples of the world. Part of Dr. King's famous "I Have a Dream" speech is reflected as the major art piece of the memoirist: "Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope." Dr. King gave his inspiring speech at the Lincoln Memorial 50 years ago, on August 28, 1963.
  • 2014 – Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine commemorates the 200th anniversary of the bombardment of the fort in 2014. Issues relating to free trade and citizens' rights led the U.S. to declare war on England in 1812. In August 1814, British forces marched on Washington, D.C., and burned the White House and Capitol. On September 13-14, 1814, the British bombarded Fort McHenry in Baltimore. The failure of the attack and sight of the American flag flying over the fort inspired Francis Scott Key to compose "The Star-Spangled Banner," which became America's national anthem.
  • 2016 – The National Park Service turns 100 on August 25, 2016. Fueled by the efforts of Stephen T. Mather and Horace M. Albright, the Service's first and second directors, respectively, Congress created the National Park Service to "conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wildlife therein," of America's national parks, monuments, and historic places. The NPS works to leave more than 400 sites under its care unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations. Congratulations to the National Park Service for 100 years of protecting the best of America!
  • 2017 – Denali National Park and Preserve in Alaska celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2017. Featuring North America's highest mountain, 20,310-foot Denali, the park is as wild and wonderful as it was when hunter and naturalist Charles Sheldon first visited the area more than a century ago. It was Sheldon's drive and determination to protect this American treasure that made it possible for Denali to reach this important milestone. Glaciers, Dall sheep, caribou, grizzly bears, and wolves can be found in this breathtakingly unique environment of six million acres.
  • 2018 – Appalachian National Scenic Trail: In 2018, the trail will celebrate its 50th anniversary as a unit of the National Park System. It is the oldest, continuously marked, and publicly protected trail in the United States. Traversing 14 states, from Georgia to Maine, hikers can experience breathtaking vistas, wilderness areas untouched by development, and the significance of history along the nearly 2,200-mile trail. Since 1921, volunteers have contributed countless hours to the conservation of the Appalachian Trail. 2018 also marks the 50th anniversary of the National Trails System Act.
  • 2019 – Grand Canyon National Park celebrates 100 years of designation as a national park in 2019. A World Heritage Site, Grand Canyon is more than a landscape - it's a place of residence and worship for America's first people, a collection of geologic record and natural resources, and a place of learning. The canyon is up to 18 miles wide and a mile deep. After 100 years, whether it's hiking a trail, walking the rim, or enjoying the Colorado River, Grand Canyon National Park hopes you are inspired to connect with the outdoors. Come, be inspired, and Go Grand.
  • 2020 – Women's Rights National Historical Park: On July 19 and 20, 1848, around 300 people gathered in the Wesleyan Chapel in Seneca Falls, NY for the First Women's Rights Convention. This convention produced the Declaration of Sentiments, which called for equal rights for women, including suffrage, and provided the framework for the women's rights movement. In 2020, Women's Rights NHP - and the National Park Service as a whole - commemorates 100 years since the adoption of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which officially recognized women's right to vote.
  • 2021 – Golden Gate National Recreation Area, established in 1972, was at the forefront of the National Park Service effort to make "parks for the people, where people are." In creating it, the NPS broke new ground in both public involvement and preserving accessible open space in the densely populated San Francisco Bay Area. Today, it is America's most-visited national park. Each year, more than 17 million people explore its dramatic coastal parklands and sites as diverse as Alcatraz Island, Fort Baker, and Muir Woods National Monument.
  • 2022 – Lake Mead National Recreation Area was established in 1964, and was the nation's first National Park Service unit that featured an entirely new focus for public lands: recreation. As the nation's first and largest national recreation area, this year-round playground encompasses 1.5 million acres across both Arizona and Nevada. Composed of striking landscapes including mountains, canyons, valleys, and two vast lakes, the park receives over 7.5 million annual visitors who come to enjoy a variety of outdoor adventures.
