Event Date and Time

Which of our state’s national parks has a Road to Nowhere? Where is Torpedo Junction and how did it get its name? In which park can you walk in the footsteps of Revolutionary War patriots? North Carolina is home to ten national park units stretching from the Great Smoky Mountains to the Cape Hatteras shores. These parks offer diverse opportunities to spark students’ desire to learn more about the rich science and history of our state. Discover how park resources, including informational texts and supplemental materials, can enhance literacy skills. Learn ways your students can experience our parks both physically and virtually. As the National Park Service celebrates its 100-year birthday this year, partner with national park rangers and literacy experts to create lessons that will engage student learning in your classroom.
