| “The Journey Through Hallowed Ground” Corridor,
VA, MD, PA – Encompassing hundreds of historic sites including,
six homes of U.S. presidents, the largest collection of Civil
War battlefields, Native American and African American historic
sites, and numerous scenic rivers, roads and landscapes, the
land is imminently threatened by suburban sprawl. The Journey
Through Hallowed Ground initiative, a tri-state collaboration,
is a public-private effort seeking 21st century solutions to
balance growth and historic preservation in ways that celebrate
and protect the region’s heritage. If this initiative fails,
400 years of American heritage may be lost. |
