There are increasing reports of sign removals from National Park Service sites. Please submit both before and after photos of NPS signs and displays to our SOS submission form.

Save Our Signs: Celebrate All-American History
Save Our Signs: Celebrate All-American History
The National Park Service is the nation’s largest outdoor history classroom. Spanning over 400 sites, the Parks work tirelessly to fulfill their legal mandate to steward our nation’s stories and make them accessible to all Americans.
Real history is not just happy stories.
The Secretary of the Interior has asked people to report signs in the Parks that “inappropriately disparage Americans past or living.” This grows out of Executive Order 14253, “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History,” which seeks to erase “negative” stories from public view. Content deemed inappropriate was ordered to be removed by September 17, 2025, but we know the process is ongoing. Some signs have already been removed.
Join our effort to build a community archive of the signs, exhibits, and texts that could soon disappear from our national parks.
We must act quickly to preserve all Americans’ stories.
