This April, we need you. Thousands of volunteers will gather at historic sites across the nation for the American Battlefield Trust’s 30th annual Park Day – and there is time for you to join them.
From battlefields to historic houses to museums, sites in 27 states and the District of Columbia are preparing for a day of hands-on stewardship. This year carries special meaning: as America approaches its 250th birthday, Park Day offers each of us a direct role in preserving the places we love.

Park Day 2026 falls during Earth Week and National Volunteer Week, alongside the America Gives initiative, making this one of the most impactful single days for volunteerism. More than 110 sites across the country are participating. Whether you are part of a scout troop, a veteran's organization, a local historical society, or are simply a citizen who cares, your participation will help ensure these sites remain pristine and accessible for all.
