The challenge for the National Park Service (NPS) is to provide opportunities for all audiences to connect to their national heritage as embodied by national parks. The Teacher to Ranger to Teacher (TRT) program focuses on the education community and engages teachers from schools that are not currently being reached with park programs, paying particular attention to areas with large, ethnically diverse populations.
Join us in summer 2008 and become a teacher-ranger at Valley Forge NHP. TRT opportunities are available in both history and science.
Valley Forge National Historical Park offers educational programs at the historic site to enhance your students' academic experiences. Student participation is encouraged through use of the inquiry method and hands-on activities. There are free and fee based programs which can be reserved on weekdays from October through the end of May.

Access to many National Park Library catalogs is available on-line. Valley Forge NHP is currently in the process of creating an electronic catalog. We will use this site to keep you up-to-date on our progress. Until then you might wish to access other national park libraries currently on-line.
