This is the website of the new group working to see The Journey Through Hallowed Ground become the next National Heritage Area (a designation which it so richly deserves to become) and provides insight into what is required if we are to see the American River Watershed someday become the Rivers of Gold National Heritage Area.
Explore the Journey
Explore the Journey's 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.
