    Attachment 1 R17-235 BACKGROUND REPORT The Board has identified the completion of a trail to connect Gari Melchers Home and Studio at Belmont with the George Washington boyhood home at Ferry Farm as a priority. When completed, the Belmont-Ferry Farm Trail (Trail) will connect not only these historical assets, but also allow pedestrian and bicycle access to multiple parks, Chatham Manor, Massad Family YMCA, and the City of Fredericksburg. Four of the six segments of the Trail are now complete (Phases 1, 2, 3 & 5), with Phase 4 nearing the construction stage. Phase 4 will connect at the current Trail terminus in the John Lee Pratt Park, crossing River Road, and then extending to the Chatham Bridge. The total length of Phase 4 is approximately 2,650 feet long, with 1,600 feet planned for construction on the federally owned Chatham Manor. Chatham Manor is included within the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park, one of the parks administered by the National Park Service (NPS). The NPS has determined that a Partner Design, Construction and Operation & Maintenance Agreement (Agreement), included as Attachment 3, is the appropriate document to allow the County to proceed with construction and operation of Phase 4 of the Trail on NPS property. The Agreement between the County and the NPS describes in detail the alignment, construction methods, cost, funding, and appearance of the Trail on NPS property, and identifies the responsibilities of the parties to the Agreement. Furthermore, the Agreement specifies that the County will be responsible for design, construction, operation and maintenance of the Trail on NPS property, although the section of the Trail on NPS property will be owned by the NPS.

  • An Evolved Understanding: an Examination of the National
    AN EVOLVED UNDERSTANDING: AN EXAMINATION OF THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE’S APPROACH TO THE CULTURAL LANDSCAPE AT CHATHAM MANOR, FREDERICKSBURG AND SPOTSYLVANIA NATIONAL MILITARY PARK A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Olivia Holly Heckendorf August 2019 © 2019 Olivia Holly Heckendorf ii ABSTRACT Chatham Manor became part of the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park in December 1975 after the death of its last private owner, John Lee Pratt. Constructed between 1768 and 1771, Chatham Manor has always been intertwined with the landscape and has gained significance throughout its 250-year lifespan. With each subsequent owner and period of time Chatham Manor has gained significance as a cultural landscape. Since its acquisition in 1975, the National Park Service has grappled with the significance and interpretation of Chatham Manor as a cultural landscape. This thesis provides an analysis of the National Park Service’s ideas of significance and interpretation of the cultural landscape at Chatham Manor. This is done through a discussion of several interpretive planning documents and correspondences from the staff of the National Park Service, including interpretive prospectuses, a general management plan, and long-range interpretive plan. In addition, the influence of both superintendents and staff is taken into consideration. Through the analysis of these documents, it was realized that the understanding of cultural landscapes is continuing to evolve within the National Park Service. In the 1960s and 1970s Chatham Manor was considered significant and interpreted almost solely for its association with the Civil War.

Landscapes documented through the CLI are those that individually meet criteria set forth in the National Register of Historic Places such as historic sites, historic designed landscapes, and historic vernacular landscapes or those that are contributing elements of properties that meet the criteria. In addition, landscapes that are managed as cultural resources because of law, policy, or decisions reached through the park planning process even though they do not meet the National Register criteria, are also included in the CLI. The CLI serves three major purposes. First, it provides the means to describe cultural landscapes on an individual or collective basis at the park, regional, or service-wide level. Secondly, it provides a platform to share information about cultural landscapes across programmatic areas and concerns and to integrate related data about these resources into park management. Thirdly, it provides an analytical tool to judge accomplishment and accountability. The legislative, regulatory, and policy direction for conducting the CLI include: National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 USC 470h-2(a)(1)).

LEE INTERVIEWED BY JENNIFER ROSS-NAZZAL HOUSTON, TEXAS – 15 JANUARY 2008 ROSS-NAZZAL: Today is January 15th, 2008. This oral history with John Lee is being conducted for the Johnson Space Center Oral History Project in Houston, Texas. The interviewer is Jennifer Ross-Nazzal assisted by Sandra Johnson. Thanks again for having us in your home this morning. LEE: You’re very welcome. ROSS-NAZZAL: We appreciate it. I’d like to begin by asking you about your interest in aviation and engineering as a child. LEE: Well, it goes back to the fact that I grew up on farms in Virginia and Texas during the Depression. We were a family of five children: two sisters [Beth, the oldest child, and Francis] and three brothers [Keith, my fraternal twin, myself, and Harry, the youngest child]. Most of the time my paternal grandfather and grandmother lived with us. I was named after him, John Bennett Lee. The name had been handed down for generations. When we sat down at the table to eat, there were nine of us. My grandfather and father had a dairy farm, raised apples and peaches, and also had beehives. It was named “Judyville,” and it was a real show place. In the early 1930s, they sold the farm to John Lee Pratt, so we moved down to the Rio Grande Valley in Harlingen, Texas, 15 January 2008 1 Johnson Space Center Oral History Project John B. Lee where they had just started irrigating from the Rio Grande River.
