In observance of Mental Health Awareness Month, Park Rangers will offer a 60-minute walk called Muster in for Mental Health! At each stop on the program, a Park Ranger will highlight ways the hardship of war affected the physical and mental health of soldiers in the American Revolutionary War. In the process, rangers will share ways visitors of national parks may care for their health and well-being by spending time outdoors. This program will be presented every Saturday for the month of May at 2:30 pm, weather permitting. Please meet at the benches located directly behind the visitor center.
