Notes
  • See also HALS Nos. VA-12-15 for related documentation.
  • Significance: GWMP is a landmark in the history of American landscape design, highway construction, and regional planning. The parkway serves as a memorial to the first president and provides an attractive approach to his home at Mount Vernon, one of the nation's most popular historic sites. The original MVMH section was the first comprehensively designed modern motorway built by the federal government. It strongly influenced parkway and highway construction throughout the United States. In addition to providing an indispensable link in the regional transportation system, GWMP preserves invaluable historic, recreational and natural resources along the Potomac River. MVMH is also the most prominent reminder of the 1932 celebration of the bicentennial of Washington's birth. The Mount Vernon Memorial Highway segment is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and the Virginia Landmarks Register.
