New Market Civil War Tour vs Road to Freedom TN Utilisation & Stats

The Road to Freedom: Tennessee encourages visitors and Tennesseans alike to uncover histories of African American contributions, agency, and sacrifice in the cause of freedom during the broadly defined Civil War-era (1830-1890). It unleashes the power of both perspective and place and introduces historical figures that have been given little voice until now. This application allows you to interact with these stories in various ways. You can explore Road to Freedom sites at large or investigate the state’s history through tour collections for particular Tennessee cities and themes. Made possible through a grant from the Tennessee Wars Commission, by way of the Tennessee Historical Commission, the American Battlefield Trust’s Road to Freedom TN application will serve as a supplemental resource to the upcoming printed Road to Freedom TN map and brochure. Collaborative in its creation, the initiative was supported by the efforts of Civil War Trails and the African American Heritage Preservation Foundation.
