Have you been to Crouse Park lately? If so, you know that Sparta is now the third stop on the Blue Ridge Heritage Trail!
The folks at the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area have built and installed 70 of these beautiful, informative historical markers around western North Carolina. See the interactive map or download the brochure.
The Sparta Revitalization Committee asked Imaging Specialists to supply photos for the sign at the Crouse House and we couldn’t be more proud of the way they turned out.
The marker features images of the Alleghany Jubilee, Robert Doughton and a northern view from Spry Road looking toward Virginia. The background is a scene of the New River taken by Piney Creek native, (and Imaging Specialists, founder) Ron Halsey. The Jubilee and the view from Spry Road are by Jeff Halsey and the Bob Doughton photo is from the U.S. Library of Congress.
We greatly appreciate being allowed to participate in the Blue Ridge Heritage Trails project.
