Description
As part of our "My Other Park" series, shake the winter blues by taking an "armchair" visit to other national parks, guided by three different Rangers who worked at these other units within the National Park Service. Decide if you want to add a new park to your bucket list!
National Cemeteries around the country serve as a tangible reflection of the ultimate sacrifice made by service members in battle. Learn about the history of two of these cemeteries at the sites of notable battles of the American Civil War, now maintained by the National Park Service at Gettysburg National Military Park and Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park.
