Thank you for your interest in and support for Ninety Six National Historic Site. You see the National Park Service (NPS) rangers and park staff that help make these parks "America's Best Places," but often you don't see the many partners, supporters, and volunteers that are just as critical, if not more so, than the NPS staff in making these parks exceptional. You and other supports are so critical to the success of our national parks. We hope that you will continue to support us in as many ways as possible.

Public Support is a critical component of the management of NPS lands. No other federal agency relies as heavily on the generosity and kindness of its visitors. We thank you for your past support and look forward to future partnerships.

Here are some of the ways you can help support Ninety Six National Historic Site:

  • You can volunteer your time, talents, enthusiasm, and expertise to the park.

  • You can become a member and donate to Friends of Ninety Six, the park's friends group.
