This five-year Strategic Plan has been written for one or more units of the greater National Park System administered by the National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. The National Park System preserves outstanding representations of America's natural, cultural, and recreational resources of national significance. These resources constitute a significant part of America's heritage, character, and future. The National Park Service not only directly and indirectly preserves these national treasures; it also makes them available to millions of visitors from throughout the country and the world every year. This Strategic Plan was written to fulfill the requirements of Section 104 of the National Parks Omnibus Management Act of 1998. This legislation requires all field units of the National Park System prepare Strategic Plans and Annual Performance Plans consistent with the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 and make these documents available to the public. The George Washington Birthplace National Monument is a vital part of America's national system of parks, monuments, battlefields, recreation areas, and other natural and cultural resources. Established by Act of Congress in 1930, the George Washington Birthplace National Monument is located in. Containing 550 acres, the park preserves the birthplace and family gravesite of George Washington in perpetuity and makes this valuable part of America's heritage available to over 100,000 visitors each year for their experience, enjoyment, understanding, and appreciation. The park maintains a partnership relationship with Cooperating Association Board of Directors, county officials, community groups, tourism councils and local business or civic organizations such as the George Washington Birthplace Association (formerly known as the Wakefield National Memorial Association) and Westmoreland Tourism council to obtain and foster support for the park's mission and roles as they relate to the surrounding area.
