Iconic Inspiration: Photographing the National Parks

From bison to battlefields, starry skies to deep canyons, and Presidents’ homes to historic objects, photographers have captured the essence of America’s natural and cultural heritage as preserved by the national park system. Join photographers Jacob W. Frank, Carol M. Highsmith, and Jim Peaco, whose works are featured in the exhibit, 100 Years of America’s National Park Service, at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History through August 2017. National Park Service Historian Timothy Davis and Curator Ann Hitchcock will facilitate a discussion on the challenges and rewards of photographing the parks.
