Pacific Historic Parks

Pacific Historic Parks was founded in 1979 to protect, research, and preserve the United States' World War II heritage at four national parks and one state park in the Pacific theater. These include the World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument (the location of the USS Arizona Memorial) in Hawaii, the Kalaupapa National Historical Park in Hawaii, the Diamond Head State Monument in Hawaii, the War in the Pacific National Historical Park in Guam, and the American Memorial Park in Saipan.

Each park offers tours to the public as well as educational programming and research initiatives. Working to maintain and improve these sites, Pacific Historic Parks preserves historic vessels and offers museum exhibitions that honor American history and the soldiers who served their country. Pacific Historic Parks works closely with the National Park Service in Hawaii, Guam, and Saipan and with the Hawaii State Department of Land and Natural Resources to ensure that these critical historical sites can teach future generations about World War II while honoring the courageous people who fought for American liberty.
