Throughout September, National Park Service sites in the National Capital Area will feature a series of programs that bring the region’s military past to life. Visitors can watch artillery demonstrations, join ranger‑guided hikes and experience living‑history reenactments that cover events from 1775 through World War II. These activities are part of the service’s celebration of the nation’s 250th anniversary and are open to the public. Hunters visiting the parks can enjoy the historical events while planning their own outings.
