Abstract

Few traces of the company town of Bridal Veil exist today, and its transformation from a remnant industrial landscape to an ecologically focused scenic area caused considerable debate during the 1990s. That debate reflects a larger national discussion on evaluating significance of cultural resources. The Bridal Veil Falls Timbering Company established the town in the 1880s to support its timber harvesting efforts, which continued well into the twentieth century. The company's operations over eight decades left a historic imprint no longer visible today, a transformation that Benac argues “destroyed a valuable piece of cultural heritage, one that locals and cultural resource professionals sought to save.”
