Take the Journey  ~  Summer 2007

 

Students are invited to move through history this summer as they hike,
bike, canoe, and pod along the Journey Through Hallowed Ground, the
Route 15 corridor in central Virginia boasting innumerable historical
treasures.  Their mission is to unlock the stories and lessons of our
nation's history as they work with expert historians, archaeologists,
and national park guides.  Along the path, students will record the
trials and triumphs of leaders from the Revolutionary period through the
Civil War using video iPods and digital cameras to create an original
vodcast.  These documentaries, which demand careful analysis of
historical information and creative expression, will then be used as an
authentic promotional tool by the Journey Through Hallowed Ground
organization.   Specific sites and activities include biking along the
C&O Canal tow path and the Gettysburg battlefield, canoeing at Ball's
Bluff, hiking Antietam, sleuthing at Montpelier and digging at Ash Lawn.
Enrollment is  limited to 24 students.
