Michael Creasey, National Parks of Boston General Superintendent said, “the generosity from the Boston community and the many partners that supported the National Parks of Boston during the lapse in Federal appropriations has been incredible and very much appreciated. So many people offered all types of support to park staff and their families during the period of the government shutdown, we are most grateful.” The nearly 100 National Park employees are happy to be back at work, serving the American people and welcoming visitors to their national parks.
