What We Do

America’s National Parks is a nonprofit partner of the National Park Service (NPS), operating stores at over 175 national park sites. But we’re more than a retailer. Our purpose is to educate the public about the history, landscapes, and cultures that have shaped America. We do this through the products we make and the experiences we create for our visitors. We also support the parks through our aid to the parks program. Since we started in 1947, we’ve provided more than $180 million in aid to the NPS from our retail sales.
