Description
Every park has a story. Learn about one of your local national parks and six other unique National Park Service (NPS) sites this winter through the “Parked at Home” virtual series.
Blackstone River Valley National Historical Park is made up of six different sites in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Through “Parked at Home” programs, Blackstone Valley rangers take virtual participants on a journey that stretches the continent and includes one of the country’s newer NPS sites. These talks offer Blackstone Valley residents a chance to learn about their local park communities as well as fascinating places far beyond New England. Participants are encouraged to discover the histories of hidden gems in their own backyard—or destinations they may dream of visiting. Each hour-long program includes a presentation and opportunities for questions and answers.
March 7, 2024 - Featuring First State National Historical Park Some national parks have just one entry and exit point. Others are spread out over entire communities and even cross state lines. This talk will bring staff together from two historical parks with unique boundaries: First State National Historical Park and Blackstone River Valley National Historical Park. First State is made up of six sites located in Delaware, the First State to ratify the Constitution. Blackstone River Valley NHP, a bi-state unit of the National Park Service, is also made up of six separate historic areas. Rangers will discuss some common themes across the parks, with a focus on the movers and shakers who made the country’s First State and the birthplace of industry into unique corridors of innovation.
