Fences, Blue Ridge Parkway

Split-rail fences are seen all along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Some may be left over from old homesteads, but many were built as part of the landscape design for the parkway, which was professionally designed.

You can read about landscape architect Stanley W. Abbott at National Parks Traveler and you can see my photo of a plaque honoring him at Abbott Lake on the Historical Marker Database.
