A unique opportunity to see the beginnings of a national park at its earliest planning stages! Explore the historical (but largely intact and original) industrial remnants upon which a new national park, authorized by Congress in December of 2014, will soon be established. Built in 1855 and named after its founder, inventor and businessman Samuel Colt, Coltsville was the headquarters of Colt’s Patent Firearms Manufacturing Company and encompassed the neighborhood where its employees lived and worked. This National Park Service-led tour will explore the park's physical spaces and talk about some of the emerging interpretive and logistical challenges.
