Guide Promotes Civil War Sites in Appalachian Region


From ABC News: Guide Promotes Civil War Sites in Appalachian
A newly released map will guide history buffs to Civil War historical attractions all around the Appalachian region to mark the 150th commemoration of the war.

Tennessee Department of Tourism Commissioner Susan Whitaker will discuss the impact of Civil War tourism in Tennessee during the rollout of the map at the Andrew Johnson Early Home in Greeneville on Wednesday.

The Appalachian Regional Commission developed the guide to highlight the diversity of tourist attractions and boost tourism. An online interactive of the map can be found at www.visitappalachia.com .
