The Carolina Road was one of the main north-south roadways during the Civil War. Today, it runs parallel to a 175-mile stretch of road, Route 15, which winds past Civil War superstar sites, such as
Gettysburg,
Antietam and
Manassas. You can also meander through dozens of smaller sites such as
Ball's Bluff Regional Park and Battlefield and the
Battle of Kettle Run. To help plan your trip, visit
Journey Through Hallowed Ground. More than 30 small towns, such as Frederick, VA, Harper's Ferry, WV, and Leesburg, VA, lie along the Journey Through Hallowed Ground route, with histories dating back to the early 1800s.
