It has been almost 80 years since close to 500 Virginia families were forced from their homes so the Shenandoah National Park could be created.

Guests:
Claire Comer - Park Service Interpretative Specialist at Shenandoah National Park.
Bill Henry - Volunteer organizer with the Blue Ridge Heritage Project.
Mark Purington - Digital Content Coordinator for James Madison University’s Carrier Library, which houses the Shenandoah National Park Oral History collection.
