NICODEMUS – Nicodemus National Historic Site joins parks, programs and partners across the country to encourage everyone to find their park and share their stories online at FindYourPark.com. Launched last week by the National Park Service and the National Park Foundation, Find Your Park is a public awareness and education campaign celebrating the milestone centennial anniversary of the National Park Service in 2016 and setting the stage for its second century of service.

Find Your Park invites the public to see that a national park can be more than a place — it can be a feeling, a state of mind, or a sense of American pride. Beyond vast landscapes, the campaign highlights historical, urban, and cultural parks, as well as the National Park Service programs that protect, preserve and share nature, culture, and history in communities nationwide.

“Find Your Park” is also being the theme for this year’s National Park Week, April 18 – 26. Join the fun at Nicodemus National Historic Site, on Saturday April 25 for National Junior Ranger Day from 10-3. There will be all kinds of fun and educational activities to introduce your kids to the history of Nicodemus and to the National Park Service as a whole. For more information, contact Education Technician Jonathan Winskie at (785) 839-4321 or [email protected]

“This is an exciting time for the National Park Service as it enters its second century in 2016. In celebration of National Park Week, I encourage everyone to bring their children to Junior Ranger Day on April 25. Come experience the history in your backyard and “Find Your Park” at Nicodemus National Historic Site,” said Angela Wetz, Superintendent.
