This Historic Structure/Cultural Landscape Report has been prepared to fulfill the primary goals and requirements as outlined in NPS-28: Cultural Resources Management Guideline. Specifically, this report addresses the Trump-Lilly Farm, a 202-acre former farm complex consisting of ten buildings, yard fences and field fences located along county route 26/3, about 2.5 miles from county route 26 in Raleigh and Summers counties, West Virginia. This report is to be included in programmed activities that affect the qualities and characteristics of the site, structures and their setting. Although this report contains a cultural landscape component, its primary focus is historic structures; therefore, a more detailed and focused Cultural Landscape Report may be needed in the future. Primary sources of data utilized in completion of this report included on-site field investigations, historic photographs, maps, architectural and engineering drawings, census data, county deeds, records, and interviews with local citizens and former residents of the farm itself. In addition to primary sources, some secondary references were consulted for general historical information. Many people were asked to offer their knowledge and expertise during the course of this project. Their generous participation was invaluable and does not go unnoticed or without appreciation. Finally, a special thanks to the staff of the New River Gorge National River for their assistance in the successful completion of this report.
