Deyerle Program Series on Local History Session III: The Lewis Mountain Story
Shenandoah National Park was established in 1935. At the time, Virginia was a "Jim Crow" state with laws that legalized racial segregation. By 1940, a segregated area that included a campground, picnic area, lodge, and cabins was developed at Lewis Mountain. Learn about Shenandoah National Park in the Jim Crow Era from Park Rangers Allysah Fox and Karl Rand. This session is part three of our annual four-part Deyerle Program Series on Local History.
