Grand Lodges of the National Parks   

This course is intended for anyone interested in visiting the national parks and learning about the great lodges that were built to attract tourists to these national treasures. There are 15 great lodges — built between 1910 and 1938 — still operating. The course will look at the history of the lodges, their architecture, their amenities, their special features, and their relationship to the parks. Each class will include some history of the related national parks but will focus on how the lodges meld with this history. The instructors will provide tips on how to plan your visits and optimize your adventure based on their personal experiences visiting each of these lodges. The course will consist of a series of lectures supported by slide-show presentations highlighting photography of the lodges and national parks.

NOTE: There is no class on Monday, January 20, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
