Located in the center of the island of Saipan, the American Memorial Park honors the U.S. service men and women and people of the Marianas who perished during the Battle for Saipan and Tinian. Today the park serves as the major venue for community gatherings and island wide events. American Memorial Park provides visitors with year-round cultural, natural, historical, and recreational opportunities. The Pacific Historic Parks bookstore features an extensive collection of local and World War II books for adults and children.  All proceeds from bookstore sales go to supporting educational activities.
