My Bernheim Story: Cristy Doughty

In loving memory of James T. Ansel. Photo by Cristy Doughty.

I discovered Bernheim bringing my step-dad back from what would be his final road trip to Nashville in November 2017. He enjoyed our times in nature and we would do great self propelled adventures like our 30 parks in 30 days we dreamt up while exploring roadside America. He truly was happy when we visited this day and I took him via wheelchair from the gift shop to the grove of American Holly on the other side of the little pond. We lost him on December 5th, 2017, and Bernheim will forever be one of my fondest final memories with him.
