Book Description
The most visited site in the National Park system, the 469-mile Blue Ridge Parkway winds along the ridges of the Appalachian mountains in Virginia and North Carolina. According to most accounts, the Parkway was a New Deal "Godsend for the needy," built without conflict or opposition by landscape architects and planners who traced their vision along a scenic, isolated southern landscape. The historical archives relating to this massive public project, however, tell a different and much more complicated story, which Anne Mitchell Whisnant relates in this revealing history of the beloved roadway.

Book Description
Using five self-guided auto loop tours, Blue Ridge Roadways introduces its readers to a sixteen-county area in the Blue Ridge region of Virginia. Following a format similar to those used in publications from HandMade in America, the tours, or "trails," include "stops" every 15 minutes and larger cultural "hubs" for visits of two to four hours. The sites offer insight into the history and culture of rural Virginia and display some of America's most dramatic scenery. These stops include historic buildings, parks, museums, restaurants serving local fare, natural phenomena, and commercial businesses that function as windows into the past. - Publisher.
