Martin Van Buren National Historic Site
Park Planning
 

The National Park Service has begun developing a General Management Plan (GMP) for Martin Van Buren National Historic Site in Kinderhook, New York. The result of our multi-year effort will be a dynamic document that provides guidance for the park’s day-to-day management as well as longer-range strategies for resource protection, visitor use, partnerships, and park operations. 

The documents and studies above provide support for specific areas of park management while the GMP establishes an overall direction for management and development of the park.  To learn more about the GMP or to make comments to be considered in preparing it click here.

Race Point, Provincetown, MA  

Did You Know?
The area at the northernmost tip of Cape Cod National Seashore in Provincetown is known as “Race Point”. It gets its name from the swift tidal “race” that swirls from ocean to bay around the point. The swimming beach is located a safe distance away in calmer waters.
