Honoring the Residents Displaced to Create Shenandoah National Park

This month we bring you the story of the people who once lived in the mountains that create our scenic view, less than 6 miles to the west. Paul Cantrell, chair of the Albemarle Blue Ridge Heritage Project will share the backstory behind the Park’s creation and what happened to the displaced families. Paul will also discuss the latest efforts to honor their sacrifices with a monument and the on-going educational efforts to keep their culture alive. Paul’s presentation will include pictures and crafts along with a little mountain music. We’ll also be hosting a silent auction to help support this amazing project. Don’t miss this opportunity to take a step back in time. RSVP to 434.823.9100 or rsvp@lodgeatoldtrail.com
