The Board of Supervisors has been requested to seek
nomination of Route 15 in Fauquier County for a State Scenic
Byway. Route 15 in Fauquier County is a portion of the
Journey Through Hallowed Ground corridor that begins in
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and ends at Thomas Jefferson’s
Monticello near Charlottesville, Virginia. This historic
corridor is a gateway to some of the most important places
in our country’s history, including Native American and
African American historic sites, the homes of our nation’s
founders, numerous Civil War battlefields and dozens of
historic towns and villages. The portion of Route 15 north
of Route 50 to the Potomac River in Loudoun County already
has been designated as a Scenic Byway. |
