Blue Ridge Parkway
Virginia and North Carolina
leaflet cover

The Blue Ridge Parkway (BLRI) was documented in 1996-97 by the Historic American Engineering Record (HAER), a division of the National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. This recording project was cosponsored by the the Federal Highway Administration's Federal Lands Highway Office, through the NPS Park Roads and Parkways Program. The collection of drawings, photographs and historical reports is available through the Prints and Photographs Division at the Library of Congress.

This leaflet was produced by HAER in 2000-02 in cooperation with the National Park Foundation.
