NC: Chimney Rock For Sale!
NC.- From Save Chimney Rock: The North Carolina State Parks is negotiating with the owners of Chimney Rock Park for purchase of their property. This would then be the centerpiece property for the new Hickory Nut Gorge State Park. The owners of Chimney Rock Park have also decided to list the park with Sotheby's International Realty. The most important national icon of North Carolina is at risk. There is a very real possibility of the park falling into the hands of a private developer with unknown intentions.
