Description

Discover the rich history and natural beauty of Virginia's state parks. Established in 1936, this pioneering system has grown to become one of the most diverse and award-winning park systems in the country.

The idea for the state park system was born out of a partnership between the Virginia Conservation Commission and President Franklin Roosevelt's Civilian Conservation Corps. The first six parks were opened on June 15, 1936, marking a significant milestone in Virginia's conservation efforts. Today, the commonwealth is home to over 35 state parks, each offering a unique glimpse into the state's natural and cultural heritage.

From the seashore to the mountains, Virginia's state parks showcase a vast array of landscapes and unrivaled natural and cultural resources. This book takes you on a journey across the state, exploring its rich history and stunning natural beauty.
