Blue Ridge Parkway was the first long-distance rural parkway developed by the National Park Service (NPS). The parkway was conceived as a multiple-purpose corridor that would fulfill a variety of social, recreational, environmental, and pragmatic functions. In addition to preserving and showcasing attractive natural scenery, the parkway was designed to display the traditional cultural landscapes of the southern Appalachian highlands, providing visitors with an idealized vision of America's rural heritage. A Blue Ridge Parkway experience is unlike any other: a slow-paced and relaxing drive revealing stunning long-range vistas and close-up views of the rugged mountains and pastoral landscapes of the Appalachian Highlands. The Parkway meanders for 469 miles, protecting a diversity of plants and animals, and providing opportunities for enjoying all that makes this region of the country so special. A contributing factor to its historic character is the miles of wood fencing visible along the roadside and in recreational areas. The variety of fencing is itself an interpretive display, showcasing the primary fence types once used in the region. More than any other element, the rustic wooden fences contribute to the Appalachian character of the parkway. B.
