The National Parks Service is the nation’s largest outdoor history classroom. Spanning 400 sites, the Parks work tirelessly to fulfill their legal mandate to steward our nation’s stories and make them accessible to all Americans.
Real history is not just happy stories. But the Secretary of the Interior is asking Americans to report signs in the Parks that “inappropriately disparage Americans past or living.” This grows out of Executive Order 14253, “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History,” which seeks to erase “negative” stories from public view. Content deemed inappropriate has been ordered to be removed by September 17, 2025.
Join our effort to build a community archive of the signs, exhibits, and texts that could soon disappear from our national parks.
