Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Association : ウィキペディア英語版
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Association
The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Association is a not-for-profit organization that supports the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park. Its charter states that the Association is "concerned with the conservation of the natural and historical environment of the C&O Canal and the Potomac River Basin."
==History==

In 1954, Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas and a group of conservation-minded fellow hikers walked the C&O Canal from Cumberland, Md., to Washington, D.C. Their aim was to head off a plan to build a highway atop the canal right-of-way. They advocated that a C&O Canal national park be created instead. Two years following the hike, Douglas proposed, and the hiking group unanimously approved, the formation of the C&O Canal Association to promote the national park proposal. The Association organized popular "Reunion" hikes on the canal to publicize the park idea; at the same time, it urged Congress to pass legislation establishing a C&O Canal National Historical Park. These efforts finally yielded fruit in 1971 when Congress enacted the legislation creating the park. In 1991 the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal Canal Association donated its papers to The George Washington University. They are currently under the care of GWU's Special Collections Research Center, located in the Estelle and Melvin Gelman Library. There have been subsequent donations from that time.〔(Guide to the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Association Records, circa 1800-2013 ), Special Collections Research Center, Estelle and Melvin Gelman Library, The George Washington University.〕
