Inside the Parks: A Revolutionary Road Trip

Tune in for a lively conversation between Jamie Kelley, Chief Philanthropy Officer, NPF and award-winning travel expert and storyteller Darley Newman for a journey through Revolutionary-era America — where national parks and lesser-known landmarks preserve the stories that shaped our nation. From tasting Martha Washington’s Cherry Bounce to walking the Camden Battlefield with a military historian, Darley will blend vivid storytelling with historical insight and “must-see” travel ideas.

She will share firsthand stories from colonial taverns, hidden fortresses, and hallowed battlefields across the thirteen original colonies, offering a first look at her upcoming book, Revolutionary Road Trip. As our nation celebrates its 250th anniversary, discover why exploring these places matters even more today — and how America’s national parks continue to connect generations through history, nature, and culture.
