Our Founding
Gerald Williams III
Long View State Park was founded by a generous outdoors man, Gerald Williams III. While originally private property, the park was heavily secured by Williams. However after some convincing he was willing to donate the land and contribute to the creation of what is now known as Long View State Park. In the last years of his life, he became drawn to his home and refused to leave his cabin.
Gerald Williams III would later die at an old age in the fall of 1914, surrounded by loved ones on the property he once owned and buried near one of our cave systems at his own request to become one with the land.
Gerald Williams III vanished one afternoon from his cabin in March 1882. His disappearance was covered up by the Rangers in order to avoid unwanted negative attention to the park.
Consider Donating
Long View State Park is able to run successfully due to our gracious doners. Consider becoming a part of the park and donate today.
