America's National Parks Trademark Awards $250,000 to 11 National Park Service Units for Educational Programs Honoring America's 250th Anniversary

Fort Washington, Pa. - June 26th, 2025 - America's National Parks Trademark [https://americasnationalparks.org/] is excited to announce it has awarded a total of $250,000 to 11 National Park Service units through the America's National Parks Trademark 250th Grant Program - History Happens Here. This grant supports the parks' efforts in the upcoming celebrations for the 250th Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the American Revolution.

"It's amazing to be able to support the national park sites and Rangers through this grant program to enhance the visitor experience and stories told at these American Revolution sites," says Stan Anton Marketing & Communications Manager at Eastern National. "We're extremely confident that these grant funds will be put to good use, and I personally can't wait to get out there to see these programs come to life. Many of these exhibits will live well beyond 2026 and will be another tool to provide educational opportunities on our nation's history."

America's National Parks Trademark is thrilled to support these 11 parks to fulfill educational programs supporting America's 250th over the course of the next year and a half. These programs will be underway no later than Spring 2026.

The Parks and Programs Grant Recipients:

*
Andersonville National Historic Site will use the America's National Parks Trademark grant funds for travel assistance to take their new America's 250th traveling trunk program to schools and other off-site locations in the park's commuting area.

Fire Island National Seashore will use America's National Parks Trademark grant funds to develop a series of exhibits that explore the multifaceted history of the William Floyd Estate and its inhabitants as part of America's 250th commemoration. Using museum objects, archival documents, and historic photographs, these exhibits will illuminate key themes, including the role of labor at the estate, the experiences of women within the household, the military service of both the Floyd family and the laborers who lived and worked on the estate, and William Floyd's contributions to the Revolutionary War and the founding of the nation.

Fort Stanwix National Monument will use America's National Parks Trademark grant funds to create a professional development experience for local teachers, a traveling exhibit about child life/involvement at Fort Stanwix and in the Continental Army, an America's 250th ranger-led offsite education program geared towards 4th and 5th-grade students, and an America's 250th lesson plan to reach schools too far away from the park to either visit or schedule an offsite program.

Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park will use America's National Parks Trademark grant funds by installing five high-quality reproduction artworks at key locations throughout the park.

*
Longfellow House-Washington's Headquarters National Historic Site will use America's National Parks Trademark grant funds to engage the public and community partners in exploring the history and legacy of George Washington's first Revolutionary War headquarters through dynamic programming.

He became a cautionary tale for those who dared dissent.

Springfield Armory National Historic Site will use America's National Parks Trademark grant funds to stage three special events designed to recenter and reinterpret the role that the area of Springfield Armory National Historic Site played in the American Revolution.
