Albert Einstein visits Petrified Forest National Monument, Petrified Forest National Park, 1931.

NPS Collection photo: from the superintendent’s report of March 2, 1931: “On March 1 the monument was visited by one of the most distinguished persons who ever came to view its wonders, perhaps the greatest thinkers in the world, Dr. Albert Einstein, with Frau Einstein , and party. He was great interested in all that he saw here and they proved to be a charming couple. Dr. Einstein fired a multitude of questions at us evidencing the greatest interest in the ‘whys’ and ‘hows’, posing gracefully for the official photographer as well as a considerable number of amateurs, finally being almost taken away by force by the Santa Fe officials who were charged with the duty of getting him back to his train on time.”
