The park's bookstore is located in the Visitor Center and is open during normal operating hours.

The bookstore is supported by Eastern National, a 501(c)3 nonprofit cooperating association of the National Park Service. Eastern National supports interpretive, educational, and scientific programming by donating a percentage of their sales to parks. A percentage of the profits made by the park bookstore will go toward funding interpretive programs at Prince William Forest Park.

The park's bookstore represents the many general stores that once dotted the landscape that later became Prince William Forest Park. Some of those stores, for example, the store on the Taylor Farm, supplied more than food and housewares to area residents. They were a local gathering place for news and gossip. Folks would gather at the store to read letters or to hear the local newspaper read aloud.

The store offers a selection of books, patches, keepsakes, and Passport to Your National Parks books and accessories. Select bookstore items can be purchased online, but the store itself does not ship any items from the park location. Passport stamps are also available at the store.

The following items are not sold within the park: firewood, food and beverages, ice, and camping and hiking supplies. The park store does sell trail mix and candies.

Park Publications

In 2009, Eastern National helped publish the park's first-ever book - Prince William Forest Park: Experience a Place Where History and Nature Unite. This book is 48-page, full-color overview of the inexpensive family fun, fascinating history, and natural beauty that is the park.

The book is currently available to purchase in the park bookstore.

 

Passport Stamps

The park bookstore offers several Passport to Your National Parks books and accessories. Passport stamps for Prince William Forest Park, the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail, and the Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route National Historic Trail are also available at the bookstore.
