Although the memorial was conceived by groups wishing to preserve Confederate history, Stone Mountain Park is owned by the state and is managed by Stone Mountain Memorial Association, a Georgia state authority. Critics of the petition called Forde's proposal an attempt at revisionist history.
The revenue operations of Stone Mountain Park are managed by Herschend Family Entertainment Corporation. In 1950, the Herschend family leased Marvel Cave in Branson, Missouri. Ten years later, that property became Silver Dollar City, a small 1880's themed park. Silver Dollar City became a huge success and formed the foundation of Herschend Family Entertainment. Today, the company owns, operates, and manages 26 themed entertainment properties across ten states. Stone Mountain Park was welcomed into this great family of entertainment parks in 1998.
