New FMR Film About Our Local National Park — Watch the Trailer and Sign Up for the Premiere!
Saturday, October 31, 2015 at 8:26AMVia an October 31 Friends of the Mississippi (FMR) e-newsletter:
Ask most Twin Citians where our nearest national park is and they'll scratch their head and suggest Voyageurs or perhaps the Apostle Islands. But there is only one national park on the entire length of the Mississippi River whose focus is the great river, and that park is right here in the Twin Cities.
To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service in 2016, FMR is making a documentary about our very own national park, the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area.
The film tells the story of the effort to get Congress to designate the park, explores the meaning of this legacy, and stresses the need for continued stewardship and advocacy on the park's behalf.
