100 Years: Let's celebrate!

The National Park Service turned 100 on August 25, 2016, and we're celebrating all year long!

The centennial kicks off a second century of stewardship of America's national parks and engaging communities through recreation, conservation, and historic preservation programs.

All year -- and beyond! -- we invite you to find your park and discover the national parks and programs in your own back yard!
