National Parks, conserving resources, preserving a nation. Throughout the early 1900's, environmentalism began to emerge as a national symbol of unity - to protect our country and it's resources. However, only one decade later, the country halted the discussion of these ideals. What happened to this ideology? And how did the country turn from environmental preservation to destroying land and resources? It was war. This environmental museum will walk you through this change, and answer these questions.
