Resolutions and Letters of Support for The Journey Through Hallowed Ground Print E-mail

These individuals and organizations have joined The Journey Through Hallowed Ground Partnership by adopting resolutions or writing letters of support for The Journey. Many of the resolutions are also in support of two of The Journey Through Hallowed Ground Partnership's primary goals: first, gaining National Scenic Byway All American Road designation for the entire 175-mile corridor, and second, gaining National Heritage Area designation for the JTHG region. Neither of these designations includes any federal regulatory authority, nor do they affect local land use authority in any way whatsoever. These partner organizations and individuals share the goals of celebrating and honoring the American heritage within our communities, and are working together to raise national awareness of our unparalleled historic and cultural attractions.
