Freedom Riders National Monument has created a new Junior Ranger book to help our younger visitors engage with the Freedom Riders story. The NPS Junior Ranger program is an activity-based program that allows visitors the opportunity to join the National Park Service "family" as Junior Rangers. Participants complete a series of activities during a park visit, share their answers with a park ranger, and receive an official Junior Ranger badge and Junior Ranger certificate.

The Freedom Riders National Monument Junior Ranger book will launch on May 1st and will be available between 10 am and 5 pm on Saturdays and Sundays at the historic Greyhound Bus Depot (1031 Gurnee Avenue), at the Calhoun County Chamber of Commerce during normal business hours, or virtually on the FRRI website (www.nps.gov/frri/).
