Philadelphia - National Park Service (NPS) Regional Director Gay Vietzke has named Cinda Waldbuesser as the new superintendent of First State National Historical Park in Delaware. Waldbuesser will begin her new assignment in January.“Cinda combines a strong sense of the National Park Service mission with the knowledge and skills needed to shepherd this new national park through its early years of development,” said Vietzke.
“I’m thrilled to return to First State to work with the park's wonderful staff and partners during this exciting time in the park's development,” said Waldbuesser. “One of my top priorities is to move the rehabilitation of the Sheriff's House forward. This project will address critical deferred maintenance needs and also give the park its first visitor center to better serve visitors and more completely tell the park's important story."
Waldbuesser comes to First State National Historical Park from the Interior Region 1 Office in Philadelphia. As chief of staff, she works closely with parks and regional staff on a wide range of issues. During her career with the NPS, she served as the region’s partnership program coordinator where she oversaw the region’s philanthropic and cooperating association programs. She has also served in temporary assignments as the chief of interpretation and education for the Outer Banks Group, which includes Cape Hatteras National Seashore, Wright Brothers National Memorial, and Fort Raleigh National Historic Site; as superintendent of First State National Historical Park, and; as the public affairs officer at Independence National Historical Park. Prior to coming to the NPS, Waldbuesser worked on Capitol Hill, for a public affairs firm, and for a nonprofit park partner.
Waldbuesser graduated from Cornell University with a degree in American Studies and completed graduate course work at Duke University. She resides in Villanova, Pennsylvania with her husband, Kyle, three kids, Nola, August, and Pippa, and two rescue dogs, Cookie and Lulu.
