Become a Junior Ranger!

Participate in this classic National Park Service program at Martin Van Buren National Historic Site! Our Junior Ranger booklet is made to use onsite and features a special pop-up activity book. If you wish to keep your Jr Ranger booklet than a printed copy is available.
By exploring both the historic house and Van Buren's farm, children are encouraged to draw connections between the past and their own lives.

 

Learning about President Martin Van Buren is lots of fun!
