Running through Virginia and North Carolina, Blue Ridge Parkway was constructed during the Great Depression to link Shenandoah National Park with Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The parkway is renowned for its panoramic overlooks, cultural heritage, and role in early federal conservation and infrastructure projects.
Collectibility
The 2015-P Blue Ridge Parkway Quarter is favored by America the Beautiful collectors for its classic landscape design and historic importance. Circulated examples are readily available, while uncirculated coins with strong strikes and original luster are preferred for complete date-and-mint sets.
