Boards/Commissions applied for:
Historic Preservation Commission (APPLICANTS SHALL RESIDE WITHIN THE TERRITORIAL
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
I am a professional historian with a long record of work in public history and North Carolina
history. I have a growing interest in Orange County history.
Currently, I am Associate Professor of the Practice in the Social Science Research Institute and
Director of Graduate Liberal Studies MA program at Duke University. With my husband David, I
also run a small history consulting firm, Primary Source History Services. I earned my Ph.D. in
history from UNC in 1997.
My work as a historian and teacher has been concentrated in public history, where I have deep
expertise in the history and development of the U.S. National Parks. I am author of Super-Scenic
Motorway: A Blue Ridge Parkway History(UNC Press, 2006), and co-author of five other
historical studies for the National Park Service. I was the project lead for the influential 2011
study, Imperiled Promise: The State of History in the National Park Service, cosponsored by
6
Page 2 of 3 Anne Whisnant
NPS and the Organization of American Historians. In 2021, 1 completed a major National
Register of Historic Places amended documentation project for Portsmouth Village, NC, a
former Outer Banks community now at the north end of Cape Lookout National Seashore. The
project expanded the NR boundary and developed an area of significance for African American
history in the district.
My most recent project, co-written with my husband and partner David E. Whisnant, is a study
on African American history for the Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site in Flat Rock, NC.
Entitled Black Lives and Whitened Stories: From the Lowcountry to the Mountains, this study
won the 2022 Excellence in Consulting Award from the National Council on Public History.
Prior to coming to Duke, I spent a decade in administration and on the faculty at UNC-Chapel
Hill and a year on the faculty at East Carolina University. At both places, I taught North Carolina
history and public history. At UNC, I developed and taught(for a decade)the Introduction to
Public History course, which often included student projects. The most important of those was
an Orange County-focused project: Names in Brick and Stone: Histories from UNC s Built
Landscape (2015-17), which featured histories related to the building names on the UNC
campus (see https://unchistory.web.unc.edu/).
My full CV is available at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1 Eb4ii7sWdvyQuhW3LzuQ3c-
gbhk1j93x2t_IgOPpvtl/edit?usp=sharing
Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
From 2015-17, 1 and my UNC students created an expansive history project focused on the UNC
campus. This work drew me into the history of the county where I have resided permanently
since 1994.
During the pandemic, my husband and I took daily walks along Morgan Creek behind our home.
As a side project during this time, we began looking into the very specific history of the property
that became the Laurel Springs neighborhood where we live. We overlaid historical aerial
photographs on current maps, traced barbed wire around the neighborhood, and researched the
Durham and Lloyd families who previously owned this land. I realized that so much interesting
history lies within close reach.
I would like to serve on this board to contribute some of my expertise to the ongoing larger
project of discovering, preserving, and highlighting our County s history for the interest and
benefit of our citizens. I would like to engage others in the excitement of discovery that I have
experienced and help to highlight resources that make these histories more visible and relevant.
With my work described above, I am especially interested in surfacing histories that have had
less attention, including those of women, and Black and indigenous populations, and the larger
social-economic-cultural-political systems that have operated in what is now Orange County. I
think of history and its tangible remains as critical social resources that help us understand our
lives and make decisions in our own time.
I would also see serving on this board as a way to learn more about the practice of historic
preservation, which I ve taught and read about and done a little of(see discussion above of
National Register project at Portsmouth Village). But I have never had formal training in historic
preservation and would welcome the opportunity to learn more about how it works at the county
level.
Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board:
My original graduate work at UNC was in women s history, and I am always looking for ways to
highlight women s lives and how gender worked in the past. Even though I am white, I also have
expertise in researching and writing about Black history and am equipped with at least some
7
Page 3 of 3 Anne Whisnant
intellectual tools to ask good questions about who is left out of any story. I also have done a lot
of work on what I call the politics of the built environment (my Blue Ridge Parkway work,
discussed in a previous question, focuses on the class politics of the Parkway), and I am
therefore alert to ways that our built environments and even our historic presentation and
preservation activities can reinforce hierarchies and power. I therefore want to see historic
preservation as much more than just preserving grand old buildings. Instead, it should also try to
highlight histories that are under-represented on the land and find ways to help citizens see that
what is no longer readily visible may be as important as what can be seen. I would look forward
to bringing these perspectives to the board.

For the time I have served on this board, I have led its efforts to find qualified, interested

commission. Recently the Indigenous and black descendants of early Orange County residents
are finding the time and inclination to become more involved in Historic Preservation (note
