Biographical Note
Gary Eugene Everhardt was born on July 8, 1934 in Lenoir, North Carolina. He attended North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering (now North Carolina State University) and graduated in 1957 with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. He married Nancy Poovey and they had two children: Karen, in 1959, and Phil, in 1963.
Everhardt started working with the National Park Service (NPS) as a student engineer surveying lands in the Blue Ridge area near Grandfather Mountain. After graduation the NPS offered Everhardt a job as a civil engineer. After serving 6 months in the Army in 1958, Everhardt continued with his civil engineering job until he was promoted to general engineer in the Southeast Regional Office, Richmond, Virginia in 1962. He was then promoted to Regional Coordinator of Engineering in 1964 and transferred to the Southwest Regional Office in Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1966 with a similar position as the Regional Chief of Maintenance.
In 1969, Everhardt moved to Yellowstone National Park to serve as the Assistant Superintendent. He stayed there until 1972, when he was promoted to be the Superintendent of Grand Teton National Park. It was at Grand Teton where he was awarded the Department of the Interior’s Meritorious Service Award for planning and executing a global conference for national parks.
Everhardt was nominated out of the NPS ranks and became the ninth Director of the National Park Service in January 1975 under President Gerald Ford. As Director, Everhardt oversaw the park- wide celebration of the national Bicentennial and doubled the acreage of lands belonging to the NPS. Throughout his directorship, he promoted land preservation and conservation. In May of 1977, he stepped down from the Directorship and served briefly as the Special Assistant to the National Park Service Director until he started work as the Superintendent of the Blue Ridge Parkway in October 1977.
- Page 4- Gary Everhardt Papers, 1936-2005 Mss.0344
As the fifth Superintendent of the Blue Ridge Parkway, Everhardt revived construction and oversaw the completion of the parkway with the construction of the Linn Cove Viaduct around Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina. He sought to improve interpretative programming, develop trails and attract visitors to the Parkway. Everhardt supervised and supported the construction of the Asheville Folk Art Center, Parkway Headquarters and the Blue Ridge Music Center.
For his service as the Superintendent of the Blue Ridge Parkway, Gary E. Everhardt was awarded the Department of the Interior’s highest honor on April 24, 1985: the Distinguished Service Award. In 1990, he was awarded the Cornelius Amory Pugsley National Medal Award for his dedication to park conservation. The Blue Ridge Parkway Headquarters in North Carolina is named after him. Everhardt retired in 2000 to Arden, North Carolina.

Photographs Series, 1957-2001 (bulk, box 1-3 1975-2000) Physical Description: 1.3 Cubic Feet (3 document boxes, 10 oversize photographs) Scope and Contents
The photographs were generally created due to Everhardt’s National Park Service activities although there are a few personal photographs included in the series. While there are photographs documenting his service at Yellowstone National Park, Grand Teton National Park, and as Park Service Director, the bulk of the photographs were taken while he was Superintendent of the Blue Ridge Parkway. In addition to documenting events such as the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Parkway in 1985 and the dedication of the Parkway in 1987, there are also photographs showing the Parkway itself, particularly the Linn Cove Viaduct. This series contains photographs dating from 1957 to 2001, with most of the photographs created in the period 1975-2000. They are arranged chronologically, with photographs transferred from the Pre-Director, Director, and Blue Ridge Parkway series and a sound recording from the Blue Ridge Parkway series filed at the end.
Among the individuals appearing in photographs in this series are Paul H. Broyhill, owner of Broyhill Furniture; Queen Elizabeth II; U.S. Secretary of Transportation Elizabeth Dole; North Carolina Governors James Hunt and James Martin
