Description
Sweeping wildflower fields, brilliant fall foliage, cascading waterfalls, black bears, and songbirds. Mountain hollows. A meandering scenic drive stretching over 100 miles across the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Shenandoah National Park in Central Virginia has attracted visitors since the 1930s when the park first opened to the public. While the creation of the park was the successful result of persistent collaboration between business owners, local park advocates, the state of Virginia, the federal government, and the young National Park Service, it also resulted in the forced displacement of thousands of individuals residing within the new park bounds.
