Museum Exhibition

The exhibition was organized by the National Building Museum with assistance from the Historic American Engineering Record (HAER), a division of the National Park Service, and the Federal Lands Highway Office. In collaboration with Museum Chief Curator Joseph Rosa, the exhibition is curated by Timothy Davis, who has worked on HAER's roads and bridges program since 1991 and has written extensively on America's parkways and park roads.

Funding for Lying Lightly on the Land: Building America's National Park Roads and Parkways was provided by the Federal Lands Highway Office, Federal Highway Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation and the National Park Service of the Department of the Interior. Additional support was provided by the American Hotel & Motel Association, Figg Engineering Group, IBM Corporation, National Park Hospitality Association, and the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association.
