08/26/2026

During his twenty-five-year career as the National Park Service chief photographer, George Grant took over 30,000 photos of people, landscapes, and cultural resources across the country. These images inspired millions to explore the national parks' natural wonders, yet he is not credited with these iconic works. This Park Chat will explore Grant's NPS career and his two visits to Hot Springs National Park.

This program is part of the collaborative series between Garland County Library and Hot Springs National Park, and can be attended in person or watched via livestream on the Library’s YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/user/GarlandCoLibrary or the Garland County Library page.
