In honor of the debut of Ken Burns and Dayton Duncan’s The National Parks, America’s Best Idea on PBS, a couple images of one of the many places we still have thanks to such a system of preservation being in place.
Montezuma Castle National Monument, near Camp Verde, Arizona; one of the four sites that on December 8, 1906 then president Theodore Roosevelt declared to be “of historic and cultural significance” in celebration of the passage of the Antiquities Act.
May the castle, the Act, the park system, and the memory of all those who made these things possible long remain.
