Cooperative Association membership with the reciprocal discount across almost all the park stores + research expense tax write off = you can't afford not to buy ALL THE BOOKs. Basically paying you to get them at that point. #MathChecksOut #Parkchat #SourceTrustUsBro

A3: I think this counts as a city site, but I took the city bus to Pearl Harbor National Memorial (formerly World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument). Wowzers! It's amazing and overwhelming! #ParkChat

Q3: I'm content to not be in Times Square tonight. Maybe I'll hit a big city in the coming year. What’s an NPS site in a big (or biggish) city you’ve enjoyed or plan to enjoy in 2026? #ParkChat

I think I’d like to learn more about sites named for people (but not presidents) to put amore personal spin on my NPS knowledge. A documentary about the NP sites outside the 50 states would be good, too. #ParkChat

Carter G. Woodson Home National Historic Site (U.S. National Park Service)

Before Dr. Carter G. Woodson, there was very little accurate written history about the lives and experiences of Americans of African descent. Today a National Historic Site, Dr. Woodson’s home served as the headquarters for the Association for the Study of African American Life and History. Dr. Woodson established Negro History Week here in 1926, which we celebrate today as Black History Month.

Q3: What’s an NPS site (park or otherwise) about which you’d like to curl up on the couch on your day off and watch a documentary to learn more? #ParkChat

A1: The correct answer is key lime pie. Special recognition for chocolate covered key lime pie on a stick, but for that, you’d have to spend Thanksgiving at Dry Tortugas NP (or possibly near Biscayne NP). #ParkChat
