Considerable research material for the administrative history has been gathered at the park from the National Archives and state repositories. Oral histories have been collected and a former park historian wrote a draft. The purpose of this study is to use what material is available from this early effort and to produce a new administrative history. This is not simply a revision of an existing draft.The completed study will include the following elements: 1. A brief statement describing the park, etc.2. A discussion of the earlier history of the area prior to the effort to designate the site as a public park.3. A description and analysis of the origin and establishment of the park as a unit of the National Park System.4. A description and analysis of the development and administration of the park as a unit of the National Park System.5. Oral history interviews with key decision-making personnel.6. A bibliography of source materials.7. Information including, but not limited to, park legislation, maps and/or drawings, and a listing of past and present NPS personnel.8. An index which will incorporate all significant names, places, objects, activities, and programs referenced in the document.
