Panorama Resort
Opened in 1924 at Thornton Gap, Panorama was a private mountain resort taken by eminent domain when Shenandoah National Park was created. The original resort was bulldozed in 1958 for a replacement, which later ran as a restaurant. After visitors fell off in the 1990s, the park announced in 2006 that costs were too high to keep it, and the building was demolished in 2008.
