Blue Ridge Parkway Partnerships

Stretching almost 500 miles through North Carolina and Virginia, the Blue Ridge Parkway provides visitors with a series of panoramic views, protects significant mountain landscapes, and is a "museum of the managed American countryside."

The protection of the Parkway and surrounding region is an immense task, with much at stake. The Parkway of tomorrow will be defined by the extent to which people today are willing to speak out on behalf of the Parkway and to invest in its future.

The Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail is the site for one of the largest annual Revolutionary War re-enactments near the Blue Ridge Parkway. If you’ve attended any of these events, you may have noticed some younger faces among the usual re-enactors. These young people have worked demonstrating colonial games and crafts, quill writing, music, dancing and have given some of the candlelight tours.
