Waterford, VA –On Friday, October 26, 2007, the Journey Through Hallowed Ground Partnership received Scenic Virginia’s Creative Scenic Enhancement Award at the 2007 Scenic Awards at the historic Kent-Valentine House in Richmond.

“This is a lovely honor, which we accept on behalf of our Partners,” said Beth Erickson, Marketing Director, The Journey Through Hallowed Ground Partnership. “We thank Scenic Virginia for their leadership and look forward to continuing our work with them as we move toward National Scenic Byway designation for the JTHG corridor.”
