Green Mountain Parkway information


1934 map of the proposed highway route and national park

The Green Mountain Parkway was a proposed scenic highway in the U.S. state of Vermont. The project was first introduced around 1934, and was proposed to run for 260 mi (420 km) over ridges of the Green Mountains. The parkway was modeled after the Blue Ridge Parkway[1] or Skyline Drive in the American South.[2] In 1935, the project was approved, and a referendum was held to choose between a 1936 or 1941 effective date; voters chose the latter date. By 1937, the parkway project became unpopular, and the 1937 legislature repealed the Green Mountain Parkway Act, effectively shuttering the proposal.
