The Grand History Trail is gaining some more momentum.
The York Dispatch recently posted an article about the Grand History Trail. Here’s an excerpt:
“It would be a 250-mile loop, a giant, vaguely ovoid route connecting some of the most historical landmarks in the mid-Atlantic region.
The Grand History Trail would run from York City to Gettysburg to Frederick, Maryland, to Washington, D.C., to Annapolis and then Baltimore before finally returning to York.
Some of these routes already exist and others are planned, but there are some big gaps in the conceptual mega-trail. For example, the areas around Gettysburg and between that town and Frederick don’t really have a whole lot in the way of existing multipurpose trails, meaning routes for cyclists, walkers and runners.
Angela Edris, of West Manchester Township, heard about the idea and wanted to get involved. She’ll be one of the group.
‘I have a lot of conditioning to do in the next two weeks,’ she said with a laugh.
She said they’ll talk about, among other things, the economic and health benefits of the trail.
‘We’re trying to raise awareness of what the trail concept is,’ she said.”
