Bluffs Restaurant

Written By Renee Hartwick

Bluffs Restaurant

The Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation renovated the Bluffs Restaurant, the first dining establishment to open on the Parkway after the scenic byway was completed in 1949. The restaurant welcomed generations until its closing in 2010. After much fundraising and extensive renovations, it reopened in 2021 and appears just as many remember it.

I was hired by the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation to document the progress of the renovation.

Location: Milepost 241, Blue Ridge Parkway

 
 

Whether it’s conveying the transformation of a place of importance or just documenting for perpetuity, my work helps organizations preserve, market, fundraise, and tell their stories through visually compelling photographs.
