Driving the 23 miles of the Colonial Parkway, visitors travel through nearly 400 years of American colonial history, and a variety of natural habitats. • The park hosted more than 3.4 million visitors in 2010—including drivers on the Colonial Parkway. Some 363,000 of these stopped in at park visitor centers and participated in programs. • In 2010, $42.5 million in park visitor spending supported 1,184 local, private-sector jobs.† • In 2009, the National Park Service employed 81 staff members, whose wages supported an additional 39 local jobs.† • Portions of the park are located in the City of Williamsburg and in two counties: York and James City. † See p. 6 of this report for more detail.

By the 1920s, however, many of these memorials to America’s formative years had fallen into disrepair. A convergence of private and public interest then put the area on the road to renewal. Inspired by efforts of the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities and others to preserve and promote interest in historical sites such as Jamestown, state leaders began to see tourism as a pathway to economic growth. Under the leadership of Virginia businessman William Carson—not- ed for proclamations such as, “Scenery will be Virginia’s next big cash crop”— the Virginia Conservation and Development Commission (CDC) focused on developing the state’s natural and historic treasures into visitor attractions. At the same time, philanthropist and national parks activist John D. Rockefeller committed to restore Williamsburg, Virginia’s colonial capital. Public and private support began to coalesce around the vision of national recognition for the sites encompassed within the Historic Triangle.

A facilitator skilled in interpretive planning works with park staff, partners, and outside consultants to prepare a plan that is consistent with other current planning documents. Part 1 of the LRIP establishes criteria against which existing and proposed personal services and media can be measured. It identifies themes, audiences, audience experiences, and issues. Part 2 describes the mix of services and facilities that are necessary to achieve management goals and interpretive mission. It includes implementation charts that plot a course of action, assign responsibilities, and offer a schedule of activity. When appropriate, Appendices provide more detailed discussions of specific topics. The completed LRIP forms a critical part of the more inclusive Comprehensive Interpretive Plan (CIP).
