After watching the videos, the public is encouraged to provide input and comments, as well as submit questions about the historic sites or park and their operations. Park team members will respond to the comments, answer questions and provide information.
The videos will be online and available for comment through the month of July for visitors to view at their leisure. Once the month ends, the comment period will be turned off, but the videos will remain online for viewing.
