### Planning a Visit to Your Alabama Blackbelt Parks

### 

The National Park Service at Tuskegee Institute and Tuskegee Airmen
National Historic Sites announce policy for scheduling group visits to
the National Historic Sites.

The policy, effective immediately, requires groups of 10 or more
planning to visit the sites, call a minimum of one (1) week in advance
of their planned visit to schedule their tour. Groups not calling at
least one week ahead may still be able to visit the sites, but be unable
to receive ranger services. Videos may not be available if other groups
are pre-scheduled for the time you arrive.

Groups wanting tours in 2007 can begin making their reservations on
October 1, 2006. However, tour requests for February-May, 2007 should
call at least 2-4 weeks in advance of their desired tour date.

Keep in mind that both sites have limited space, and we operate on a
first-come, first-served basis. The Tuskegee Institute Site can
accommodate up to 60 persons in the auditorium, and the Tuskegee Airmen
site can seat 25. To schedule tours for the Tuskegee Institute National
Historic Site, call Robyn Harris at 334/727-3201 or 334/727-3200. To
tour the Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site call Carla McCurty at
334/724-0922. If they are not in, leave your name and telephone number
and your call will be returned as soon as possible.

The parks welcome groups (families, schools, churches, scouts, retired,
elder hostels, educators, etc.) to come in and tour our two unique
National Historic Sites. We have many compelling stories bundled in two
fascinating titles.

Plan now and call to schedule your family or group to visit us at
Tuskegee Institute and Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Sites. To
borrow a phrase, "Thank You for Your Support." We eagerly look forward
to hearing from you.
