The Monocacy National Battlefield commemorates a Civil War battle fought 9 July, 1864, between the troops of Confederate Lieutenant General Jubal Early and Union General Lew Wallace. The Battle of Monocacy, or "The Battle that Saved D.C.," prevented Early from completing his campaign to relieve pressure from General Robert E. Lee and to capture Washington, D.C. Although the Confederates won the battle, the time lost permitted the Union to send reinforcements to the capital. The battle aside, Native Americans have been present in the area since the earliest human occupation of North America, nearly 10,000 years ago; and European explorers and traders arrived in the region in the early 1700s.

The park offers a self-guided six mile auto tour, a number of self-guided interpretive walking trails, exhibits, an introductory audio-visual presentation, guided tours, in-classroom speakers, and traveling trunks.

Maine Acadian Culture is a National Park Service project in which the NPS supports the efforts of the Maine Acadian Heritage Council to preserve Acadian culture in Maine. The Acadians were 17th-century French settlers who colonized parts of Maine, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island—the latter three being Canadian regions. These settlers arrived from different areas within France.

The National Park Service does not maintain any relevant sites. However, they do support 11 sites within Maine's St. John Valley. These sites are the Acadian Landing and Tante Blanche Museum, Acadian Village, Allagash Wilderness Waterway, B and A Caboose and Green Water Tank, B and A Railroad Turntable, Fort Kent Blockhouse, Fort Kent Railroad Station, Historic Governor Brann Schoolhouse, Le Club Français, Musée culturel du Mont-Carmel, and Pelletier-Marquis House.
