Overview:

The National Park System contains the scenic and historic treasures of our country. Presidential homes, historic lodges and hotels, and National Park Service rustic cabins are abundant throughout the parks, whether they are shadowed by interstate highways in downtown areas of a city or discovered after miles of mountain hiking. In this guidebook, Harvey Kaiser takes readers on a tour through historic structures discussing the architectural elements and history of each building, showing how architectural form combined with history and natural beauty has created inspiring works of art.
