Yes, you read that correctly. Mar a Lago used to be a National Park. It never opened to the public and was only part of the NPS for just 8 years, but, nonetheless it was once part of the National Park System. In today's day and age, when Mar a Lago is one of the most famous properties in America, not many people know about this part of its history. As a self-proclaimed park nerd, I think it's fascinating, and so I dug into the history of Mar a Lago, how and why it became a National Park, and ultimately, what led to its deauthorization. Enjoy.
