There is much to learn about the smallest unit of the National Park Service. At .02 acres, the Thaddeus Kosciuszko National Memorial tells an expansive story about an international champion of human rights. Read more about Kosciuszko's devotion to liberty in the History and Culture section.

Looking for something for kids? The park offers a Junior Ranger program on-site, and the Junior Ranger Challenge for kids at home.
