Rome, NY: Did you know that Fort Stanwix National Monument turns 75 years old in 2010? To celebrate this milestone, Fort Stanwix will host several events throughout 2010, starting with National Park Week April 18th to the 24th. Celebrate National Park Week at Fort Stanwix National Monument, and celebrate what we all have inherited as Americans — 84 million acres of the world’s most spectacular scenery, historic landmarks and cultural treasures. Together we are owners of this land, and this National Park Week, the National Park Service and National Park Foundation invite you to pass along this tradition.
Throughout the week Fort Stanwix will be providing special programs for both children and adults in honor of the Park’s 75th Anniversary and National Park Service Week:
Sunday, April 18th to Saturday, April 24th |
Sunday, April 18th to Saturday, April 24th |

"We earnestly wish to thank the people of Rome for their efforts and their patriotism to establish and keep an important National Park Service site within their community. We at Fort Stanwix National Monument are proud to serve the people of Rome and the people who visit the park from all over the United States and the world. Thank you very much."
