A Century of Design in the Parks: Preserving the Built Environment in National and State Parks
June 21-23, 2016 |
The three-day symposium discusses the preservation of National Park Service (NPS) designed buildings and landscapes, and focuses on issues related to the preservation of these features. NPS built environments span one hundred years of development from the early rustic period when railroad transported tourists to large western parks; through a period of major construction and land conservation during the Great Depression completed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and Works Progress Administration (WPA); into the post-WWII era and the NPS Mission 66 campaign and up through contemporary development. The NPS also played a major role in the improvement and development of state parks nationwide, through their administration and supervision of CCC and WPA crews working in these parks.
