In celebration of the National Park Service’s 104th birthday and to encourage people to get outside and visit America’s beautiful national parks, the National Park Service is waiving entrance fees to all parks on August 25.
In a press release, the NPS said, “On August 25, 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed the legislation establishing the National Park Service. At the same time, women across the country were fighting to guarantee their right to vote throughout the United States, a right that would finally be recognized when the 19th Amendment became part of the US Constitution on August 26, 1920, the day after the fourth birthday of the National Park Service.”
