Palo Alto Battlefield National Historical Park

Exhibits and battlefield interpretation examine the conflict's causes, participants, and consequences from more than one national perspective. The open coastal-prairie setting helps visitors understand the terrain on which the fighting took place.

Begin with the current National Park Service visitor information and choose a route suited to the heat and available time. Visitor-center access and ranger programs follow their own schedules. Bring water and sun protection, stay on designated paths, and leave historic objects and natural features undisturbed.
