Connecting Parks to Pensions

Many of the events of the American Revolution happened at places that would become part of the National Park Service.

Thanks to the incredible transcription and tagging work of Citizen Archivists, we are now able to connect the stories of Revolutionary War veterans and their widows with the parks that preserve and interpret the events they experienced.

Click on the links below to be taken to National Archives catalog, and explore the pension files associated with National Park Service sites from New England to the Carolinas. New files are tagged and added regularly – and by becoming a Citizen Archivist yourself, you can help to connect even more parks to pensions!
