Carlsbad Caverns National Park officials debuted 20 Story Walk exhibits along the Lake Carlsbad Recreation Area.
The exhibits, unveiled in partnership with the city of Carlsbad and the Carlsbad Public Library, are part of the celebration surrounding the caverns’ 100th anniversary as a national park.
The exhibits illustrate the park’s history, cave formations, plants and animals at the park. The caverns were made a national park on October 25, 1923, by President Calvin Coolidge.
“Carlsbad Caverns’ anniversary celebrates a century of discovery, preservation and protection,” Carmen Chapin, superintendent of Lake Carlsbad Recreation Area, told KRQE News. “It’s an important time to look back on the lessons of the past as we move forward to the next 100 years of stewardship and continued partnerships with the community.”
The exhibits will be on display throughout the centennial year.
