πͺ ποΈ From Forts to Front Lines: Surprising Military History in the Parks
Published over 1 year agoΒ β’Β 2 min read
Hey Reader,
It's Memorial Day. Please take a moment to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.
Many NPS units honor the US military history from memorials in D.C. to battlefields throughout many states. For some, their military connection is obvious, and their military history is well known and covered in US history classes. The names of these sites make it obvious, such as Gettysburg National Military Park, Stones River National Battlefield, and Rosie the Riveter World War II Home Front National Historical Park.
On other sites, the military history is less obvious but no less important to the story of the United States.
Every purchase you make through these links helps cover the cost of running National Park Obsessed and allows me to continue making National Park content for you rather than going out and having to go back to a full-time engineering job.
