The following press release was published by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service on Jan. 4, 2016. It is reproduced in full below.

Harpers Ferry National Historical Park invites you to volunteer on Jan. 18, 2016, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, for a “Day of Service." Join us in mulching a popular hiking trail on School House Ridge South in the morning, and then volunteers can enjoy visiting Harpers Ferry NHP on this National Park fee-free day. A limited number of volunteers are needed for this project, so please RSVP to Samantha Zielinski (samantha_zielinski@nps.gov) to ensure you have the opportunity to volunteer.

In anticipation of the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service, Harpers Ferry National Historical Park is planning a number of centennial events in 2016, the first of which will take place on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. To honor Dr. King, this holiday has been named as a National Day of Service and Harpers Ferry NHP is providing this opportunity for volunteers to help out in their community.
