n American Memoir From the Hearts of Our Ancestors... Into the Hands of Our Children
to
Cumberland Gap National Historic Park Cumberland, Virginia
Hear the echoes of 18th Century Colonial America...speak with Native
Americans and oncoming Europeans as they whisper to us their values
and dreams. This is your moment to witness why our ancestors made decisions that
would alter the course of American history. Guarding against the death of our cultural heritage and natural treasures, this event recognizes the value in remembering the past and its connection to the present. Then, reflect upon your role in the
future of America, and the legacies that we will leave to our grandchildren. The true questions are: “What will we preserve?” “What do we most value?” For the answers to these questions will fuel the passion required to defend them.
