Once an area where Native Americans\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003edwelled and perhaps cultivated the land, Massanutten boasted healing springs that blossomed to become a four-season resort. Private homes intermingle with a conference center, timeshares, and condominiums in an area of preserved woodland heritage. This volume chronicles the history and development of this part of the mountain range, from its use as a Civil War lookout point to a modern-day ski resort complete with golfing and a water park. Included are glimpses of sports, business, and political notables like Lance Armstrong, Del Webb, and Bob Mathias, who have made their marks here�either as guests or in the development of the resort itself.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e127 pages; bibliography; Arcadia Publishing, 2007.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arcadia Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46003341263023,"sku":"0641","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/5228\/5871\/files\/ImagesofAmericaMassanutten.jpg?v=1736536789","url":"https:\/\/shop.rocktownhistory.org\/products\/images-of-america-massanutten-copy","provider":"Rocktown History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
