Parked at Home Virtual Series

Explore America’s national parks from the comfort of home!

Every park has a story. During this virtual series, we’ll connect with people from across the country to talk about special places and complex stories at National Park Service sites. Join us to learn more about a place that might be close to home, or in a destination you dream of visiting. Each hour-long program includes a presentation and opportunities for questions and answers.

All Parked at Home programs are free and open to all. Hosted on Thursday evenings at 7:00 PM (eastern) in March and April.

Thank you to our partner, Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor, for supporting this program.

April 10, 2025 – Saint Croix Island International Historic Site

The French landing of 1604 at what is today called Saint Croix Island marked the beginning of a continuous French presence in North America. This had lasting international impact on the North American continent and on the Passamaquoddy, the first inhabitants of the land. As the site transitioned from homeland, to colonial outpost, to part of the burgeoning United States, the landscape was dramatically changed. The site was home to a rich industrial history of logging, shipping, rock quarrying, and a plaster mill.

Join us as we discuss the lasting impact of this site on the United States, Canada, French/Acadians, and Passamaquoddy, and what it means to be an International Historic Site.
