  • We are proud to celebrate this anniversary because of our County's close relationship with it. A few notable ties are:

    1. Work was begun on the Parkway at Cumberland Knob, Alleghany County, N.C. September 11, 1935.
    2. Midpoint of the Parkway is in Alleghany County near Mahogany Rock Overlook, elevation 3436′, mile marker 235 of 469 total miles. (Mahogany Rock is also a popular hawk watching site.)
    3. First section of Parkway to be completed and open was 7.641 mile stretch from U.S. Highway 21 to Air Bellows Gap in Alleghany County, N.C.
    4. Alleghany native, U.S. Representative Bob Doughton sponsored original bill
    5. Doughton Park in Alleghany & Wilkes Counties is the largest recreational area in the entire park
    6. The Blue Ridge Parkway is the most visited U.S. National Park.
