Louisburg College Celebrates the Life of Allen de Hart Nov. 12

October 26, 2016

Allen de Hart, a genteel force whose generosity and perseverance brought culture, an appreciation for history and nature, and a legacy of environmental stewardship to Louisburg College, died Oct. 14.

De Hart, 90, professor emeritus of history, was one of the most influential people in the college’s 229-year-old history and an active advocate for the arts in Franklin County.

Three weeks before his death, he was guest of honor at the Crystal Gayle concert, part of the Allen de Hart Concert Series at Louisburg College. The audience sang Happy Birthday to the engaging nonagenarian and ate birthday cake with him at intermission.

He died at Wake Medical Center in Raleigh after a brief illness and will be buried in Virginia, where he grew up.

Born on a dairy farm in Patrick County, Va., de Hart began camping and hiking at age 5 and was building trails by the time he was 10. He planned, constructed and hiked trails for the rest of his life, conquering the Appalachian Trail and many others between Pennsylvania and Florida.

Known as “Earth Daddy” to the trail-building community, de Hart estimated in 2012 that he’d hiked more than 65,000 miles in the previous 30 years. He founded Friends of the Mountains to Sea Trail, which is overseeing the building of a 934.5-mile walking path across North Carolina. He wrote 11 trail guidebooks on hiking in North and South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia.

De Hart, who served as a warrant officer in the U.S. Army during the Korean War, is an alumnus of Ferrum College in Virginia and High Point College, according to Louisburg College archives. He earned his Master of Arts from the University of Virginia. He told a writer for the Charlotte Observer that he later earned a degree in psychology to help him understand the why and how behind history.

In 1957, de Hart accepted a job at Louisburg College teaching history, psychology and reading development. He also acted as the college’s public affairs director.

De Hart was devoted to Louisburg College. He was a full-time faculty and staff member for 36 years and served another 16 years part time. He loved teaching, mentoring, exploring with his students. He was driven.

Louisburg College’s 2012 Columns magazine outlined de Hart’s accomplishments. After studying psychology, he established the Office of Testing and Guidance, out of which grew a developmental reading course and a learning skills program.

“By 1970, he and Flora [his wife] had written a textbook entitled ‘Systems Approach to Learning.’ In the same year he published ‘Cultural Arts Programming in the Two Year Colleges in North Carolina,’ a textbook developed from a graduate course at UNC-Chapel Hill.” Columns reported that de Hart also wrote “Introduction to Experimental Psychology,” a companion to the four-hour course he taught in Louisburg’s Department of Science.

Outside the classroom, de Hart established programs for cultural arts. He started the concert series that now bears his name, as well as a lecture and foreign film series. He helped establish the College and Community Arts Council, which became the Franklin County Arts Council.

He also helped start a folk festival to honor traditional folk music and dance. Within four years, the event had become the National Whistlers Convention. De Hart marketed the festival aggressively and brought international attention to his adopted hometown for years.

De Hart, whose charm was part of his success, helped found the Franklin County Historical Society and established a short-lived museum in the old Franklin County Jail in downtown Louisburg.

Perhaps his most lasting gift was in 2012, when the de Hart family gave the college 91 acres of forests, gardens, trails, lakes and historic sites.

For more than 50 years, the family had cultivated the De Hart Botanical Gardens. The gift, Louisburg College President Mark La Branche said at the time, was “one of the greatest historic developments in the 225-year history of the college.” The Botanical Garden Nature Museum is 90 percent complete.

For the rest of his life, Allen de Hart lived in his house on the grounds, taking care of the gardens and giving tours to those who stopped to take in the beauty.

One of his final wishes, said Dr. Robert Bruck, professor of environmental science and curator of the De Hart Botanical Gardens, was to ensure that the biologically unique gardens be dedicated to a continuing legacy of scientific exploration.

Nearly 20 years ago, as de Hart walked North Carolina’s Mountain to Sea Trail, he explained the appeal of exploration: Finding the unexpected and nourishing the spirit.

“We got to meet the people,” he told an Associated Press reporter. “It’s kind of like learning what we’ve forgotten about the state when you walk through farms and they wave at you, and the dog doesn’t bite you, and the children want to know what you’re doing. … Sometimes they ask if you are hungry and ask you to stay for dinner. Or to stay for the night.

“It’s real stuff,” de Hart said. “Some of it’s integrity, some of it’s quality. Its what we see if we slow down. We’re in such a hurry.”

De Hart wanted us all to slow down, to notice the hundreds of species of plants, the 200-year-old Beech and Oak trees, the Paleozoic rock formations. The violet and ruby spring flowers. The gold and rust fall leaves.

The treasures he left for the next generation to enjoy.

De Hart was buried Oct. 19 in the Woolwine Cemetery near Stuart, Va. Louisburg College plans a celebration of de Hart's life at 11 a.m. Nov. 12 at De Hart Botanical Gardens on U.S. 401, 5 miles south of Louisburg.

Memorials may be made to the De Hart Botanical Gardens, Louisburg College, 501 N. Main St., Louisburg, NC 27549.

Allen de Hart, hiking guide author and whistling convention founder, dies at age 90.

Allen de Hart, a college professor, whistling enthusiast and avid outdoorsman who wrote several hiking guides and helped spur development of North Carolina’s Mountains-to-Sea Trail, has died at age 90.

De Hart was also the founder of two botanical gardens that bear his name, one in his native Virginia and another in Louisburg, where he taught history and psychology for more than 50 years at Louisburg College. He began and underwrote a concert series at the college that is also named for him.

De Hart and his wife, Flora, moved to Louisburg in 1957 and settled on a piece of land off U.S. 401 south of town. They began buying up surrounding land and in 1961 established the botanical garden as a nonprofit organization. Over the years, they added overlooks, benches, bridges and miles of trail.

De Hart donated the 91-acre garden to Louisburg College in 2012, the same year he donated the 172-acre DeHart Botanical Gardens in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia to Ferrum College, his alma mater.

Sheppard Allen de Hart was born in Patrick County, Va., where the family name was spelled “DeHart.” It’s not clear when he adopted “de Hart,” which appears on the botanical garden in Louisburg, the concert series and his hiking guides.

De Hart was raised on a dairy farm in the Smith River Valley. The school bus ride was an hour and a half on winding mountain roads, so when de Hart was 12 he and his two brothers hacked a two-mile trail through the woods to walk to school.

“I grew up in a world of wildlife and plants,” de Hart said in an interview in 1996.

His 11 outdoors guidebooks to the Southeast include the popular “North Carolina Hiking Trails.” He was working on the 11th edition of the book at the time of his death, according to Robert Bruck, a Louisburg College professor and curator of the botanical garden.

De Hart also founded the Friends of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail, an organization that promotes the development of a 1,150-mile hiking trail that stretches from the Great Smoky Mountains to the Outer Banks. The trail was originally a state-led effort and is a part of the state parks system, but De Hart said he recognized that a private group was needed to help it along.

The concert, film, lecture and recital series that de Hart established at Louisburg College led to other arts and cultural endeavors, including the founding of the Franklin County Arts Council in 1978. He also started the Franklin County and Louisburg College Folk Festival, which led to an event with a broader reach: The International Whistlers Convention.

At the folk festival in the early 1970s, a songwriter from Durham asked whether he could whistle his song “Little River Blues” rather than sing it, and in time more people wanted to whistle, too. So, de Hart, himself a whistle collector, organized a separate event that drew whistlers from around the world for 40 years.

Funeral services for de Hart will be held Wednesday at 2 p.m. at Moody Funeral Home in Stuart, Va., with burial to follow in the Woolwine Cemetery. De Hart was a veteran of the Army during the early 1950s, and the Patrick County Veterans Memorial Honor Guard will present a flag at the funeral.
