A Historian's Blue Ridge Parkway

Conundrums of Commemoration: Blue Ridge Parkway’s Seventy-fifth Anniversary

Conundrums of Commemoration: Blue Ridge Parkway’s Seventy-fifth Anniversary

November 1, 2009 Anne Whisnant

In 2009, when I was involved (as a board member for Blue Ridge Parkway 75) in planning the celebration of the Blue Ridge Parkway’s 75th anniversary celebration, I wrote a reflection on “Conundrums of Commemoration:  Blue Ridge Parkway’s Seventy-fifth Anniversary” for an issue of Sitelines: A Publication of the Foundation for Landscape Studies (vol. V, no. 1, Fall 2009).

My article begins on page 11.

A locally-hosted PDF of this publication is also here.
