The story of the men who served as President of the United
States is much greater than just the houses where they were born, or where
they lived as president, or a memorial in their honor. The story of these
men is a story of American History- the birth of a nation and wars fought
to defend it and assure its prosperity. Many were successful in other
ventures, some were failures in almost everything they did, and not all
were defined by their presidency. The National Park Service cares for
more than just the homes of Presidents; it manages sites that tell the
story of the events and circumstances that led these men to the presidency.
Many of the sites are battlefields where future presidents fought for
their country, some are sites related to the independence of the nation.
The list below will help you find National Park Service sites associated
with a specific president.
* Unfortunately, not all of our Presidents
are commemorated or memorialized in areas managed by the National Park
