Dr. Jolley
Makes
Committee
Dr. Harley Jolley, professor of
history and well-known regional author,
has been named to the N.C. Highway
Historical Marker advisory committee
according to William S. Price, director
of the Division of Archives and History
of the state’s Department of Cultural
Resources.
The advisory committee has statutory
authority to review and approve applica
tions for historical markers throughout
the state. The highway historical marker
program was authorized by the General
Assembly in 1935. Since then, over 1,100
markers have been approved and are
currently located in every county in the
state. Since its inception, the committee
has consisted of well-qualified historians
whose task is to review the dozens of re
quests received every year. In addition,
members are asked to confirm historical
data related to particular marker re
quests.
Dr. Jolley has been a faculty member
at Mars Hill since 1949. He has authored
a large number of articles on history of
the mountain region, and his best known
book is “The Blue Ridge Parkway,” a
history of the construction of the
parkway.
