Pisgah National Forest -- Buck Spring Lodge -- Early years of Pisgah National Forest Inn -- The Blue Ridge Parkway brings changes. |
| Abstract |
"Around 1919 ... The US government had recently established the Pisgah National Forest by purchasing 80,000 acres from Edith, George Vanderbilt's widow; lands deserted by logging companies; and other tracts ... About two miles from Mount Pisgah and a mile from Vanderbilt's private Buck Spring Lodge, [George] Weston constructed Pisgah Inn on property leased from the US Forest Service. Visitors came from across the country and around the world to stay and dine at Pisgah Inn ...Today a more modern 1960s lodge welcomes guests to its grand views and preserves the history, charm, and natural setting of the original Pisgah Inn."--Page 4 of cover. |
