The Journey Through Hallowed Ground
Hallowed GroundExplore The Journey Through Hallowed Ground, a scenic and historically rich landscape recognized as the region which holds more American history than any other swath of land in the country.  It is home to significant and unique historical, cultural, scenic and natural legacies.  The Journey Through Hallowed Ground corridor follows US Route 15 and Route 20 on a 175-mile meandering course from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, through Frederick County, Maryland and ending in Charlottesville, Virginia.
 
"This is the ground of our Founding Fathers. These are landscapes that speak volumes--small towns, churches, fields, mountains, creeks and rivers with names such as Bull Run and Rappahannock. They are the real thing, and what shame we will bring on ourselves if we destroy them"
-- David McCullough, a Pulitzer Prize winning writer and historian
