Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield will be joining other national park sites around the country on Sunday, August 25, 2013 in celebrating the founding of the National Park Service with a fee-free day. Established on August 25, 1916, The National Park Service cares for over 400 national park areas which preserve our nation’s natural, historical and cultural heritage.
“This is a great time to come and explore your local national park. The National Park Service provides these special places, which are preserved for citizens and international travelers, to enjoy”, according to Supt Ted Hillmer.
The fee-free designation applies to entrance fees only and does not affect fees for camping, reservations, tour of use of concessions. Interagency Senior and Annual Passes are available for those who wish to purchase them.
