In celebration of our National Parks 100th Anniversary, an article from 1953 outlining the national's smallest national park located in the middle of the Mississippi River at where Wittenberg, Missouri once stood.  Wittenberg is now a ghost town after massive flooding caused residents to move inland away from the river.  The other side of the river is Grand Tower, Illinois--named after this rock formation.
