2011 America the Beautiful Quarters - National Park Quarters - Chickasaw National Park (P Mint) Quarter Roll of 40pcs.
The 2011 Chickasaw National Recreation Area Quarter honors the national site found in the state of Oklahoma. These strikes should enter circulation on November 14, 2011 with an official launch ceremony held by the US Mint on or about that date.
The chosen design shows an image of the Lincoln Bridge found within the boundaries of the national recreation area. The limestone bridge was dedicated on February 12, 1909, the centennial of the birth of the 16th President of the United States Abraham Lincoln, and thus named after him. Surrounding the image are the inscriptions of CHICKASAW, OKLAHOMA, E PLURIBUS UNUM and 2011. The reverse was designed by AIP Master Designer Donna Weaver and sculpted by United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver Jim Licaretz.
Chickasaw National Recreation Area information
Chickasaw National Recreation Area was officially established on July 1, 1902, but named Sulphur Springs Reservation. The original 640 acres of the area was purchased from the Chickasaw Indian Nation and subsequently added on through the years.
On June 29, 1906, Congress redesignated Sulphur Springs to become the Platt National Park, a title which it would retain for seventy years. Finally, in 1976, Congress combined Platt with nearby Arbuckle Recreation Area and renamed it to its current designation of Chickasaw National Recreation Area.
The new area today consists today of just under 10,000 acres, with roughly 25% of that land covered in water. The rivers and lakes found there offer many unique recreational opportunities for visitors including boating, fishing, canoeing, etc.
Of interest, the National Park Service does not charge an admission fee to enter the national recreation area. This is owed to the original agreement between the United States Government and the Chickasaw Indian Nation when the national area was first created.
