The US National Park system has been dubbed “America’s Best Idea.” In view of the fact that one good idea deserves another, National Parks Week was established to serve as a means of reinforcing our national parks as places to have fun reconnecting with nature and history offering free admission days to our country’s amazing national parks and federal lands.
While National Park Service Director Jonathan B. Jarvis considers, “Every day a great day in a national park” he calls entrance free days “An extra incentive to visit one of these amazing places.”
This year, National Parks Week runs April 18 through 26 and one popular NEPA destination is pulling full steam ahead with Entrance Fee-Free Days the 18th and 19th. Offering living history and special exhibits, Steamtown National Historic Site invites one and all to enjoy the Park grounds and museum complex on them. Conveniently located in downtown Scranton, it’s just a short drive off all major routes (81, 380, 84, 6 & 11). For more information checkout: www.nps.gov/stea/index.htm
