The 179-mile Journey Through Hallowed Ground byway corridor from Gettysburg, PA, to Monticello, VA, is “Where America Happened.” It is said that this route, spanning three states, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, holds more historic sites than any other in the U.S. It was an active transportation route during the Revolutionary War, a critical transition zone for the Underground Railroad, and a key battleground during the Civil War. This early corridor was the literal “roadbed” for the creation of our country and American ideals.
