History Historic sites are an ever-present part of the landscape. Not only can you step back in time, you can choose which time; early Dutch and Quaker days, Colonial or Gilded Age, or the early 20th century and the World War II era of FDR. Our history museums have great stories to tell, from the daily life in a Dutch Colonial homestead, to the history of WWI and barnstorming-era airplanes. Be part of the scene at the Little Red School House, a 1914 railroad station, or the FDR Presidential Library.

Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum On June 30, 2016, the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum – the first Presidential Library in America – will observe its 75th Anniversary. President Roosevelt’s belief that the government’s purpose is to serve the people launched an institution that has educated and inspired generations. It truly was an “Act of Faith” as he so eloquently put it. The 75th anniversary of the opening of the first Presidential Library is also a celebration of the Presidential Library System’s value to the nation – and an opportunity to recognize the importance of preserving our history, making that history accessible to the American people, and promoting public service.

100 Years: Let's Celebrate!

The National Park Service turns 100 on August 25, 2016, and everyone can take part in the celebration!

The centennial will kick off a second century of stewardship of America's national parks and engaging communities through recreation, conservation, and historic preservation programs. We invite you to find your park and discover the national parks and programs in your own backyard!
