We can't lose these relics Items in National Park archives link us to our history October 09, 2007 At first glance, a wooden box, old bottles and worn books look like items that may not have sold in the family yard sale. They are worn, gathering dust, and have a distinct musty scent. But these valuable items are just a few of the things that are part of the history of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and a key to the historic events that many families in this area include in their personal storytelling. Currently, most of these items are being stored in a facility in Oak Ridge. They are among thousands of items donated to the Park by their owners or the owners' family to be preserved for future generations and, until recently, many of the items had never been taken out of storage. Public facilities are currently being sought as a venue to display the items during the 75th anniversary of the Smokies that will be held in 2009. "These items are associated with the Park and sometimes with people that can help to tell the story of how the Park came to be and the people here and their connections to it," explained Dianne Flaugh, cultural resource manager for the Park. Among the items is a simple 4-foot-long wooden box. The container with the dovetailed corners might have once been hailed as craftsman's masterpiece, but today, it's simply a well-worn container. Getting past the look of the piece, its history is what can impress a history buff. The box belonged to Grandma King, grandmother to the Walker sisters of Little Greenbrier. The last sister died in 1964 and their family story is just one of many tied to the National Park. Before the Great Smoky Mountains National Park came into being, it was simply a beloved range of mountains that opened up its hills and valleys to the farms, businesses and communities that would occupied by generation and generation of families. These were the families who gave up their land, their homes, and their history to create what is today, the most visited national park in the country. When you think about the history and sacrifice that is connected to the mountains we look at every day, it makes sense that we put every effort into preserving those items that have survived history.
