replying to @HomesteadNM @HomesteadNM A9) Agricultural is probably one of if not the key factor of the Homestead Act that is still felt to this day. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @HomesteadNM Oh great and everyone can hate me since I brought it up. Sounds like a win for you! 😂#ParkChat

replying to @naturetechfam @naturetechfam Yes, we have to acknowledge the negative side of the #HomesteadAct in addition to the good. #ParkChat

replying to @HomesteadNM @HomesteadNM @NatlParkService A10: Hot Springs National Park. Small bit beautiful, rich in history and its baseball culture is a plus around these parts too #ParkChat

replying to @HomesteadNM @HomesteadNM @NatlParkService A10. Hm, maybe the FDR site because it started me visiting presidential sites. Weir Farm is another great close one. Fort Davis was another gem worth a mention tonight #parkchat

replying to @HomesteadNM @HomesteadNM @NatlParkService #parkchat A10 our most recent favorite is @CapulinNPS ! Drive up the side of a volcano? Yes! Sweeping vistas? Yes! No crowds? YES! 😁

replying to @HomesteadNM @HomesteadNM @NatlParkService A10) Besides @JohnMuirNPS it might be @WeirFarmNPS in my birth state of Connecticut, it not only has beautiful grounds & buildings but the family history linking the Weir & (Brigham) Young families is interesting. #ParkChat

replying to @naturetechfam @naturetechfam @HomesteadNM @NatlParkService @CapulinNPS Regret not stopping here. Looks beautiful #ParkChat

Q11. “Little Parks” are the nation’s peanut butter to its jelly, focusing on the underscored fabric of who we are as a country. Whether you’ve been or not, what smaller park is an interesting inclusion to the NPS? Conversely, is there an interesting/ notable exclusion? #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute @HomesteadNM I’m up to 320 NPS Units visited, but I’ve sadly never made it to the gem that is @HomesteadNM - maybe if someday we ever make a family Oregon NHT trip we’ll make a side trip there! #ParkChat

replying to @HomesteadNM @HomesteadNM @NatlParkService A10 I’m going with Fort Davis...I had zero idea what to expect and just absolutely loved this “little” NPS site #ParkChat

replying to @HomesteadNM @HomesteadNM A6 #parkchat yes, I have volunteered more than you might guess from my age.

replying to @tthrash @tthrash @HomesteadNM @NatlParkService Absolutely agree about Fort Davis #ParkChat

replying to @Parkasaur @Parkasaur @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute Yes! AND we have passport stamps not only for the Oregon NHT but also Pony Express and California Trail! #ParkChat

replying to @TomBremer @TomBremer @HomesteadNM @NatlParkService Yes & no, they might be less stressed from the fewer crowds of people but they also tend to wear more than one hat which can be a bit stressful as well. #ParkChat

A10: So many great ones - it’s hard to choose just one! I agree with all that have been mentioned already and will toss in Grant Kohr’s Ranch NHS. That & @HomesteadNM are the only 2 small parks we’ve visited twice 😊 #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A11: I think our National Seashores are an overlooked collection of our NPS as a whole. Without those protected areas, how long do the interior ones last? #ParkChat
