Exploring the National Parks

91: Small Park Spotlight - Pearl Harbor National Memorial


Listen Later

We give a lot of love to the big national parks, but we also love visiting smaller and off-the-beaten-path sites run by the NPS.  

In today’s Small Park Spotlight, we are taking you on a tour of Pearl Harbor National Memorial in Hawai’i!

Most of us know the history of what happened at Pearl Harbor, but immersing yourself in the events of December 7, 1941, is an unforgettable experience. Standing in this place, you can feel the bravery, courage, and valor that this site now represents. It's a place that leaves a lasting impact, and we're excited to explore its significance with you today!

In this episode, we discuss: 

  • The history of Pearl Harbor
  • What you can do at this national memorial
  • The ultimate can’t-miss sight at Pearl Harbor
  • We hope you enjoy learning a bit more about Pearl Harbor. This is an incredible small park to visit—an experience you'll never forget. 

    It’s one of those sites that fills you with pride, both as an American and knowing that our National Park Service is preserving the story of the brave men and women who fought and died here during World War 2.

    Pearl Harbor – We Will Never Forget.
