This week, PBS is airing the Ken Burns documentary, The National Parks: America's Best Idea on stations around the country. If you meant to watch, and forgot, or couldn't get to a TV when it was airing, never fear! PBS has the episodes available for online viewing through October 9th. Just start at the website for the series and follow the links for viewing full episodes.
We will soon have the accompanying book available for checkout. In the meantime, we also have travel guides and other materials about the National Parks available in the library.
If the show is inspiring you to go out and visit some parks, or do some hiking, start at the U.S. National Park Service. There you will find maps, podcasts, photographs, and links to all of the national parks, including Little Rock Central High School and the Pea Ridge National Military Park.
