Happy Birthday, NPS! 107 years young. #OnThisDay in 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed the Organic Act and established the National Park Service. Since then, more than 400 individual parks have been added to the NPS. These parks preserve and protect American history, culture, and places of natural wonder. These are places of memory, both collective and personal. The women and men who met at the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 may never have guessed that the little chapel that served as their meeting place would one day be preserved forever as a site of national importance. But we are here today; so that we can remember the people who changed the course of our history, and so that we, and future generations, can make new memories, and carry on the stories of our National Parks.
