Book Description
The gem of the idea of this small history had its origin in the mind of Mr. J. Lee Davis, co-author of this work, who is the President of the company now owning The Bridge, and to whom much is due for the wonderful development of this large and important property, and its present high state of perfection. To Mr. Davis is also due the credit for collecting much of the material going into this undertaking. -- Preface.

Book Description
Natural Bridge, located in the historic Shenandoah Valley, is one of the most recognized and visited geologic landmarks in the country. The massive 90-foot-wide arch spans Cedar Creek, which runs 200 feet below. Legend says that George Washington, as a young land surveyor, carved his initials on its wall. In 1774, King George III granted ownership to Thomas Jefferson. Natural Bridge was often regarded as the Eighth Natural Wonder of the World during the 19th and 20th centuries. The site became a popular venue for events, ranging from conventions to the annual Easter Sunrise Service. Hotels, inns, and cottages were built to accommodate travelers, and on-site attractionsincluding a show cave, a wax museum, and a Monacan Indian villagebroadened visitor appeal. Natural Bridge remained privately owned until 2014, when the title was transferred, allowing it to become a state park; the bridge will now truly belong to the people, a concept that would have made Jefferson proud.
