The Journey Through Hallowed Ground is a trip along Route 15/20 from Gettysburg in Pennsylvania to Monticello in Charlottesville Virginia. Explore historic places on and near this historic route, the Old Carolina Road, a scenic and historically rich landscape that has "soaked up more of the blood, sweat, and tears of American history than any other part of the country," according to the late historian C. Vann Woodward.
