Delaware is the only state that does not have a National Park. It has
over 600 Nationally Registered Historic Places.
The National Park Service is in charge of protecting some of the most
special places in America. These places have been set aside for the
American people (and visitors from all over the world) for their natural
beauty, historic value, and unique resources.

There are over 400 parks, memorials, monuments, historic sites,
preserves, battlefields, trails, parkways, river ways, lake shores, and
sea shores in the National Park System! These special places can be
found in 49 states and in territories such as Puerto Rico, Guam,
American Samoa, and the Virgin Islands.
