The Biggest Park

Wrangell St. Elias National Park is the largest US National Park, and is full of history and spectacular scenery. Within the park, the impressive red wooden structure of the historic Kennecott Copper Mill stands as a sentinel to the past. The stories within the walls tell of exploration and technological innovation that were important to westward expansion, the economy, and World War I. This completely self-contained company town in a remote part of Alaska employed over 600 people.

The WPA National Park posters had a distinctive style and were designed to entice Americans to travel around the country and appreciate the many wondrous things preserved in our parks. My original art quilt is done in the style of these historic posters.
