As the USA prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary, we're looking back at the people and events that helped shape our nation's fight for independence. 🇺🇸

In this clip from Resolved To Live & Die: Revolutionary Roots of Southwest Virginia, discover the story of the Fincastle Resolutions, one of the earliest declarations of support for American liberty. Signed in January 1775 by frontier settlers in what is now Southwest Virginia, these resolutions demonstrated a steadfast commitment to freedom months before the Declaration of Independence was signed.

Join us as we explore the revolutionary spirit that ran deep in Southwest Virginia and the remarkable individuals who helped lay the foundation for a new nation.

Summer is here, and there's no better time to explore Virginia's incredible state parks! 🌞

Since opening in 1936, Douthat has been a favorite destination for outdoor adventure and mountain scenery in Virginia's Alleghany Highlands.
Today, visitors can swim at the beach, fish, or kayak on Douthat Lake, camp under the stars, and explore miles of scenic hiking and biking trails. Making it the perfect summer getaway!

Did you know? Douthat was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) during the Great Depression. Many of the park's original cabins, trails, and stone structures are still in use today, offering visitors a chance to experience a piece of Virginia history while enjoying the outdoors.

Whether you're visiting for the first time or returning to make new memories, there's never been a better time to celebrate 90 years of Douthat State Park
