McCroskey Park #425 - Idaho Historical Markers on Waymarking.com

McCroskey Park

Dedicated in memory of pioneer women, Mary Minerva McCroskey State Park has a forested skyline drive that offers spectacular views of forest, farms, and distant mountains.

Virgil T. McCroskey devoted his life to preserving trees and scenery.  Purchasing and donating 4,500 acres of cedar, pine and fire, he developed and endowed a magnificent state park by 1954.  Surviving until he was 95 years old, he maintained and enlarged it for 16 more years. ~ text of marker
