John D. Rockefeller Jr. & America’s National Parks: A Lecture
Advertisement
Colonial Williamsburg was not John D. Rockefeller Jr.’s only conservation crusade. Concurrent with Williamsburg, Rockefeller collaborated with the National Park Service to create or enhance parks like Acadia, Grand Tetons, Great Smoky Mountains, Redwoods, Shenandoah, Yellowstone, Yosemite and others. Explore the motives of one of the world’s greatest philanthropists and discover what his national parks and Williamsburg projects had in common.
Steve Kemp worked as a park ranger in Yellowstone and Denali national parks and served for many years as a writer and editor for a non-profit partner of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. His most recent books include “An Exaltation of Parks: John D. Rockefeller Jr.’s Crusade to Save America’s Wonderlands” and “The Blue Ridge Parkway: In Celebration of the American Landscape."
Included with CW Admission.
