Kimberly Parker will present “Families of Natchez Trace State Park,” the struggle to survive, and how “The New Deal” helped these families to overcome their hardship.

She is a mother and a grandmother, and she just recently became a great-grandmother. She loves history and enjoys researching soldiers that fought in the Civil War and families of the Park.
