"With nearly 800 sites already on the trails system in Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, this statewide program will create a uniform and well-designed path for travelers to follow as they explore sites and battlefields associated with the Civil War in Tennessee.  These trails will also help define and tell the Civil War story, while preserving our state’s scenic and historical landscape.  This program has been made possible by a federally funded enhancement grant administered through the Tennessee Department of Transportation and approved by Governor Bredesen.  We are very grateful for their support in making this happen."
