Former Sandburg Home chief chosen to accept a rump check
Tyrone Brandyburg, longtime National Park Service official and former Sandburg Home superintendent, stood with Interior Secretary Zinke as President Trump donated his first presidential paycheck of 78,333 dollars to the Interior Department. The brief ceremony highlighted a symbolic donation amid a broader debate over funding for national parks. Brandyburg recently assumed leadership at the Harpers Ferry National Historical Park in West Virginia after leaving Flat Rock. The Cradle of Forestry in America opens its 2017 season April 8 with living history events and demonstrations, weather permitting.
