Q3: We tell the story of the #HomesteadAct of 1862. It's a HUGE story for a "little" park as the Homestead Act gave away 270 million acres in 30 states over 123 yrs.
What is another "little" @NatlParkService site you've been to with a big story?

replying to @HomesteadNM @HomesteadNM @NatlParkService #parkchat A3 how about another favorite @AgateFossilBeds? Big on how long of a story their fossils cover over history! Or any of the Fossil parks, really, have big stories!

A3. Although it’s larger in size, it’s not as well known on the radars of many. @CumberlandGapNP and it’s sorry is just fantastic. #ParkChat

@ParksandPoints @HomesteadNM @NatlParkService @SagamoreHillNHS A3. Ditto his birthplace in the city. #parkchat
And the east coast meetup spot of the @mvb_nps site comes to mind as well. A number of others in between do too.

replying to @HomesteadNM @HomesteadNM @NatlParkService A3 @WomensRightsNPS, though multiple sites, fits this bill for me. Probably goes below the radar for many due to its location in Central NY. But it tells a story that absolutely needs to be remembered and reflected upon. #parkchat

A3. Definitely Reconstruction Era NM in South Carolina. Tells the story of how we began to answer the “And now what?” Question after Emancipation, as well as the amazing heroism of Robert Smalls #ParkChat https://t.co/Emr2vYFbdw https://t.co/JV64kTsMkI
