"I view [Natural Bridge]… the most sublime of nature’s works” … “in some degree as a public trust, and would on no occasion permit the bridge to be injured, defaced or masked from public view.” -- Thomas JeffersonWith your help, 1,500 acres encompassing one of the "Seven Natural Wonders of the New World" -- Virginia's Natural Bridge -- will become the Natural Bridge State Park and continue to inspire future generations to enjoy and appreciate its natural, historic and cultural significance.
An awestruck Thomas Jefferson purchased the bridge from King George III in 1774. It remained in private ownership until 2014, when concerned citizens and the Virginia Conservation Legacy Fund rescued the property from being auctioned off in parcels for development. A campaign is underway to raise the private funding necessary to complete the state park transition in the Summer of 2016.
