You could say they nailed it. (And also sanded it, painted it, and rebuilt it.) National Park Service staff from across the country are working hard to make DC safe and beautiful, installing and repairing more than 1,000 benches this year. Their work may happen behind the scenes, but the results are on display every day in the shared spaces that help to tell our nation’s story. 🇺🇸
