In an attempt to encourage citizens to travel to
the National Parks, Franklin Roosevelt declared
1934 to be National Parks Year. Speaking from
Glacier National Park on August 5th, 1934,
Roosevelt declared “I am glad to say that there
has been a magnificent response and that the
numbers visiting our national parks has shown
a splendid increase.” Posters were heavily involved
in this campaign, as were National Parks Year
postage stamps, which were released the same year.
