  • 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.

  • Former Beacon Mayor Joins Incline Society Board of Trustees
    For Immediate Release Contact: Mike Colarusso Date: April 26, 2010 Chief Operating Officer PR #: 2010-003 Tel: (845) 765-3262 x17 [email protected] http://www.inclinerailway.org http://www.facebook.com/inclinerailway Former Beacon Mayor Joins Incline Society Board of Trustees (Beacon, NY) – The Mount Beacon Incline Restoration Society has rapidly grown in capability and professionalism over the last year. Now former Beacon Mayor Clara Lou Gould has joined the Society’s Board of Trustees. She takes her place alongside several other prominent figures, to include Beacon Mayor Steve Gold, Town of Fishkill Supervisor Joan Pagones, and Walkway Chairman Fred Schaeffer. When asked why she accepted the board’s membership invitation, Gould responded that “Beacon is in such a beautiful area that one of my hardest decisions is which is more beautiful - to be up on the mountain looking down at the river or out on the river looking up at the mountain. The return of the Mount Beacon Incline Railway will make it possible for many more people to puzzle over that -- while enjoying the spectacular views.” A native of the Hudson Valley, Gould was born in Cold Spring, New York. She later moved to Beacon and was sworn in as the city’s first woman mayor in 1990. During her 18 years in office, she worked to have Beacon designated one of the initial model communities of the Hudson River Valley Greenway. Under her leadership, the city was also winner of the inaugural Hudson Valley Quality Community Award and was designated a Preserve America Community. She saved from development a 100-plus acre property at the base of Fishkill Ridge and collaborated with Scenic Hudson to create a park at the 80-acre former University Settlement Camp.
