For our final #NationalParkWeek post we note some of the pioneers who made the NPS what it is today - along with President Harding, this image from our holdings shows SecInt Hubert Work, NPS Director Stephen Mather, and Yellowstone Supt Horace Albright at Yellowstone National Park.

The iconic #Route66 stretched from Chicago to Los Angeles and was a main artery for travelers for many years. Although the highway was officially decommissioned in 1985, the stories of the road and its incredible history still remain.

Happy #ArborDay ! Mrs. Ford planted a tree on the North Lawn of the White House to honor the American Bicentennial on Oct. 20, 1975. The seedling was specially cultivated from an American Elm planted by Pres. Adams, which was the oldest and tallest tree on the White House grounds.

It’s the perfect season to stroll through the usbotanicgarden. The First Ladies played a vital role in creating the garden we cherish today. Here, some of them are seated together at a 1994 gala in their honor. catalog.archives.gov/id/183373942 National Mall NPS #NationalParkWeek

The look of the guitar has evolved over the years! Here we have an 1831 patent drawing of a very tall guitar from E. N. Sherr. Note that the original drawing for this patent was destroyed by a fire in the Patent Office in 1836.

#DYK that the Carter Presidential Library sits on a historic site? The Augustus Hurt house that stood here in June 1864 served as General Sherman’s headquarters for a couple of days during the Battle of Atlanta. #NationalHistoricMarkerDay#ShermanWasHere

Have you ever heard of Blister Rust, also scientifically known as Cronartium ribicola? You can read all about it in this publication titled Control of White Pine Blister Rust in the Northeastern States from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. #ArborDay

It's #ArborDay ! We share this memory from 1932, with First Lady Lou Henry Hoover and President Herbert Hoover planting a cedar tree on the White House grounds. The tree was from 'Ferry Farm' in Fredericksburg, VA, across the river where George Washington spent his boyhood days!
