🎂 Tuesday, August 25: NPS 110th Birthday & Fee-Free Day - Today marks 110 years since President Woodrow Wilson signed the National Park Service Organic Act, establishing the National Park Service.

And since all sites around Arabia Mountain (with the exception of Panola Mountain State Park) are fee-free already, we decided to give a sneak peak of some of our own upcoming birthday festivities: Arabia Mountain NHA is turning 20 in October! To celebrate we are throwing a big 20th Birthday & Community Thank You Party at Vaughters’ Farm on Sunday, October 11, 2-5pm. Expect BBQ, live blues and bluegrass performances, FREE ice cream, AWARE animal ambassadors, guided hikes, a pop-up museum and more! Also, meet the founders of the NHA at Panola Mountain State Park for NHA Founders Coffee on Friday, October 30, 12:30am-12pm. Have coffee, tea and a light breakfast and hear the fascinating story of the Heritage Area’s conception! Stay tuned for more info coming soon. #NationalParksWeek #NPSWeek #ArabiaMountain
