Historic Women of the National Park Service

Women have long been involved with the history of the National Park Service. Here you can explore the stories of some of these historic women and the times and places where they laid the foundation for the NPS.

Part of the history of the National Park Service also includes men, women, and children dispossessed of their homes and property (including Native Americans and Japanese Americans), as well as those excluded from park areas and programs because they were Black. You can find a list of references to explore these stories near the bottom of the page.
