Park expands adventure offerings

As Breaks Interstate Park prepares for an increase in visitation with the arrival of warmer weather, park offi- cials are focused not neces- sarily on new offerings but more so on what’s already there in a new way. “These days we’re trying to focus more on using the park’s natural resources and connecting to those more,” noted park Superintendent Austin Bradley in a recent The Dickenson County Historical Society is lobbying for the DMHS building to be preserved because of interview. its historic significance as a monument to the 16 Dickenson County men who died in World War I.

PAGE 2 ■ WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 2016 ■ THE DICKENSON STAR First automobiles recorded in county around 1914 SUBMITTED BY EDITH FAYE REDDEN ★ DICKENSON COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY PRESIDENT

A few months ago, someone suggested that Dickenson County Historical Society research the automobile dealerships in Dickenson County. Historical society member Dennis Reedy enjoys studying and collecting infor- mation on old vehicles. And from time to time, he even collects old automobiles. Reedy started our research with the his- tory of the first automobiles in the county. Then, we tried to sort the hodgepodge of information that we found on automobiles and auto dealerships in Dickenson County.

According to page 276 of the book “Meet Virginia’s Baby,” the first automo- biles were owned by “Creed French and others at Clintwood in 1914.” The book “Pioneer Recollectios” fea- tures on page 145 a statement made to E. J. Sutherland on Feb. 5, 1954 by Ayers Friend, son of Gallie Friend, regarding the first E. J. Sutherland is pictured on March 5, 1924 in front of Perkins and automobiles in Clintwood.
