Celebrating U.S. National Parks

August 25, 2014 Libby Zay

Today the U.S. National Parks are celebrating their 98th birthday. While I personally wish I could spend some more time in the parks (don't we all?), for now I'll have to settle with some reminders of "America's Best Idea."

(above) This print comes with a sheet of gold tree stickers so you can keep track of all the national parks you've visited (Ello There/$135).

Between 1936 and 1943, the Works Projects Administration (WPA) produced around 2,000 posters, many of which featured national parks. You can browse these posters in the Library of Congress or jumpstart your personal collection with these reproductions (Retro Planet USA/$10).

Yellowstone was established in 1872, and is widely held as the first national park in the world. This rustic sign could be a beautiful everyday reminder of the park for your home (Salvage Sign Co./$175).

While there are tons of images of the famous Delicate Arch in Arches National Park, I've never seen anything like this sewn postcard (Sew Upscale/$20).
