Description
Join a Park Ranger to learn more about the Buffalo Soldiers and their contributions to National Parks.
Before the creation of the National Park Service, the US Army were assigned to manage national parks. This included the Buffalo Soldiers who were assigned to protect parks such as Yosemite, General Grant, and Sequoia National Parks.
Discover the legacy of the Buffalo Soldiers in our National Parks and how their contribution across the American landscape continues to be captured and preserved for future generations to learn and explore.
