Development of Overmountain Victory Trail interpretive exhibits at the new Lake James State Park Visitor Center

The National Park Service intends to award a single source justified cooperative agreement to the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources for the development of Overmountain Victory Trail interpretive exhibits at the new Lake James State Park Visitor Center. The project aims to connect visitors to the trail and its story, promote public use of the trail, and provide interpretive information and recreational access. The recipient will be responsible for designing and creating interactive interpretive displays, ensuring ADA compliance, and building an access trail from the visitor center to the state park trail network. The NPS will provide technical assistance and work cooperatively with the recipient to ensure the project's success. Key aspects of the project include: • Design and creation of interactive interpretive displays • Ensuring ADA compliance for all user groups • Fabrication and installation of interpretive displays • Building an access trail from the visitor center to the state park trail network • Providing space in the visitor center for displays and panels • Overseeing the development of interpretive materials and trail design
