The area surrounding Smith Mountain Lake is full of important history! Many people who live in the area year-round have visited the Booker T. Washington National Monument at some point, but many guests to the area may not know it is so close to the lake.
Visiting the Booker T. Washington National Monument is an incredible educational experience for guests of all ages.
On June 9, 2008 the Booker T. Washington National Monument was incorporated as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) to form Friends of Booker T. Washington National Monument. The purpose of this group is to support the Park in areas where federal shortages can not support programs, events and personnel. The Friends, unencumbered by Federal regulations, seek to provide the means for additional programming, community outreach, advocacy, and financial assistance. In addition to volunteer time. The Friends implement an annual program for membership and raise funds and awareness for the park.
