“It is one of my deepest desires that, as each phase of the valley is revealed, it … stir the imagination of those who visit … and transport them for a time to a world of dramatic interest, so that the Valley of the Nashaway will become for them a Valley of Inspiration, as it has for me.”
– Clara Endicott Sears, 1934
