Dr. David Brillhart - Virginia Creeper Trail - Abingdon, VA - Dedicated Benches on Waymarking.com

The engraved stainless steel plaque reads: "In Honor of Doctor David Brillhart, a Trail Founder."

From a September 18, 2007 blog (link), we learn "Dr. David Brillhart of Abingdon was the one who had the original idea to convert the rail bed to a trail, some 25 years ago. He died in February [2007] and his family was kind enough to direct those wishing to make memorial gifts to the Creeper Trail Club. Dr. Brillhart's obituary stated that he considered the Creeper Trail his greatest legacy. That's quite a statement, considering the many, many adults and children he treated in his medical practice through the years and the impact his professional skills had on families and the health of the community. Still, he saw the trail as a great part of our region."
