Racial segregation was practiced in the national parks within living memory. Where in the National Park System will you find this reminder of that pre-Civil Rights era?

Now you're getting really picky. Since the sign looks nice and clean it was clearly rehabbed. In that case it must be on exhibit. Therefore it is in a Visitor Center. Finally, for the sheer irony of it, and based upon your clues, I will have to conclude (guess) it is in the Byrd Visitor Center. Am I close?
Yes, we can be picky. Particularly the professor;-)
That said, you're right, Eric, it's in the visitor center. Tomorrow the professor will explain why.
That's right, Anon 1:39 and Eric. The mystery photo shows part of an exhibit sign at the Byrd Visitor Center at Big Meadow. The sign is not a rehab job, Eric. It's just a sign that was made for exhibit purposes. It was never displayed at Lewis Mountain. Indeed, to the best of my knowledge it has never been displayed outdoors.
Aside to Anon 1:29. Nothing to see here? Gosh, I suspect that the quizmeister's feelings might have been hurt.
Anon 1:29 - There is something to see here. It's important to remember our history (not ignore it) so that we (Americans) can learn from our mistakes and not repeat them.
