The Appalachian National Park Association was formed in 1899 for the purpose of promoting the idea of a national park in the eastern U.S. One of the highlights of the group’s activities was a convention held on October 25, 1902. Two weeks prior to the event, the Asheville Citizen ran an article noting that “A Hundred Towns and Cities Are Asked to Take Part.” Indeed, the convention was a success with 1,500 people from various states attending.
