Event Description:
The Arlington Historical Society (AHS) will host author Sue Eisenfeld, who will discuss her book Shenandoah: A Story of Conservation and Betrayal at its next public program on Thursday, February 12. The book is a first-person hiking adventure through the history of the lost communities of Shenandoah National Park. More than just a favorite weekend recreation area, these southern Appalachian hills and hollows hold a hidden history of human habitation, and remnants of the people's lives can still be found in the woods: house foundations, stone walls, wagon wheels, farm equipment, and more. This is the story of displacement of a mountain culture, the government's use of eminent domain to remove people from their land, the creation of a national park as a gift to the nation in perpetuity – and the author's journey of discovery and understanding. Books will be available for signing and purchase following the presentation. The hour-long program will begin at 7:00pm at Marymount University (2807 N. Glebe Rd, Arlington, VA 22207; the talk will be held on the main floor of the university’s library, Rowley G127). Note that this is a seasonal change-of-venue from Arlington Central Library; AHS programming will return to the library in May 2015. The program is free and open to the public. For additional AHS information, please contact 703-942-9247.
