National Parks' second fee-free weekend ahead
The second of three fee-free weekends at National Parks this summer is this weekend, July 18-19. The third fee-free weekend is August 15-16.
Entrance fees will be waived at 147 sites that usually charge admission ranging from $3 to $25. The 244 other parks do not charge entrance fees.
Among North Carolina's nine national parks, entrance fees will be waived this weekend at the Wright Brothers National Memorial at Kitty Hawk and at the Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site at Flat Rock.
The Wright Brothers Memorial charges people 16 years old or older $4 for entry, and the Sandburg Home charges $5 to tour the house if you're 16 or older ($3 if you're 62 or older).
Entry to the grounds at the Sandburg Home, which include five miles of trails and the goat barn (below), is always free.
