The National Park Service has released a revised fee-free calendar for national parks, removing Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth while adding President Trump’s birthday to the list. This change is part of an ongoing effort by the administration regarding the country’s history on federal lands.

These adjustments align with a White House executive order prioritizing American visitors and seeking to provide them “preferential treatment” and are touted by the Department of the Interior as a way to make the parks more affordable and efficient for Americans.
