Pacific Historic Parks

Mission: Education is an important mission of World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument. Pacific Historic Parks supports the development of educational programs in cooperation with the National Park Service.

The objective of Pacific Historic Parks in supporting Park Service educational programs is to promote an understanding of the attack on Pearl Harbor and the subsequent War in the Pacific, while helping to provide a greater appreciation of the people involved in that critical history.

Description: Pacific Historic Parks supports and funds educational materials, museum exhibits, and interpretive programs for four National Parks throughout the Pacific: World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument at Pearl Harbor, Kalaupapa National Historical Park on the island of Molokai, American Memorial Park in Saipan and War in the Pacific National Historical Park in Guam. Formed as a non-profit cooperating association with the National Park Service in 1979, Pacific Historic Parks (formerly known as the Arizona Memorial Museum Association) changed its name in June 2010 to better reflect its increased scope of support.
