Every month, a letter arrives in your mailbox written by someone who was just there — standing at the rim of the Grand Canyon, feeling the mist of Yosemite Falls, watching the sun set over the Smoky Mountains. This isn't a guidebook. This isn't a documentary. It's a letter from a friend who goes everywhere you've always wanted to go — and writes to tell you every detail.

What arrives in your mailbox every month

Each monthly letter includes four things:

Lizzy Jane's illustrated adventure letter — A full two-page letter written in Lizzy Jane's voice, fresh from the trail. Original hand-drawn artwork covers the page — every illustration is created specifically for that park, in Lizzy Jane's signature style.

A park postcard — Beautiful double-sided postcard featuring the park's original artwork, ready to display, send, or keep.

An original hand-drawn sketchbook page — A postcard-sized sketchbook illustration of the park, drawn by hand and designed to be kept as a small piece of original art.

Audio narration via QR code — Scan the code and listen to Lizzy Jane read the letter aloud. The same warm voice, every month, every park.

And in your very first order, something extra:
A postcard-sized map of all 12 parks — so you can track your journey as each letter arrives — plus a personal introduction from Lizzy Jane, with its own audio narration to welcome you to the adventure.

This collection is for anyone who loves America's wild places

For yourself

If you've ever driven through Yellowstone at dawn, hiked to a Zion overlook, or stood at the edge of the Grand Canyon and felt genuinely small — this collection was made for you. Every month a letter arrives that takes you back to that feeling, or takes you somewhere new entirely.

As a gift

For the person who has a National Parks passport. For the hiker, the road tripper, the nature lover, the photographer who fills memory cards at every trailhead. For anyone whose face lights up when you mention the Smokies or Glacier or Acadia. Simply enter their address at checkout — their first letter ships after Mother's Day, and you'll receive a printable gift certificate immediately to share on the day.

For your family

Each letter brings a national park to life through storytelling, original artwork, and audio narration — making it a natural fit for family read-alouds, American geography study, and morning baskets. The full 12-park lineup is fixed and known in advance, making it easy to plan a homeschool year around — and potentially eligible for state homeschool curriculum funding.

About Lizzy Jane

Lizzy Jane goes everywhere.

She hikes the trails most people only see on screensavers. She watches sunsets from canyon rims and wakes up to the sound of geysers and waterfalls. And every time she visits one of America's great wild places, she writes you a letter about it — in her own words, with her own drawings, so you feel like you were right there with her.

The American Icons Collection is Lizzy Jane's journey through twelve of America's most iconic national parks. You'll hear about the blue mist over the Smokies, the granite walls of Yosemite, the thermal pools of Yellowstone, and eleven more parks that stop you in your tracks.

Every letter is written in Lizzy Jane's voice. Every illustration is drawn by her hand. And every month, she can't wait to tell you where she's been.

All of the letters at Heritage Letter are created by Julie, a former educator and homeschooling mom based in Oklahoma. Every letter, every illustration, and every word is crafted with care — because we believe America's wild places deserve to be experienced, not just visited.
