Some of the first park rangers in America weren’t rangers at all. They were Buffalo Soldiers - Black Americans who served in the U.S. Army after the Civil War. On Buffalo Soldiers Day, we celebrate the legacy of these first-of-a-kind, trailblazing rangers.

These dedicated men protected wildlife from poachers, built trails and forged a proud legacy in our nation’s history. They made these accomplishments despite the racism and prejudice that they faced.

Interior continues to preserve and honor the history of these first rangers at places like Charles Young Buffalo Soldiers National Monument, Fort Selden National Historic Site, @YosemiteNPS and more.
