(2/4/2010) Southwest Virginia's "Crooked Road" region has been named one of the 2010 America’s Dozen Distinctive Destinations by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. For ten years the National Trust has used the Dozen Distinctive Destinations program to highlight how historic preservation helps communities create a sustainable future and a strong economy through heritage tourism. We’re proud to share with the world what you no doubt already know -- that this 253-mile route through Virginia's Appalachian region, winding through 10 counties, three cities, and 19 towns, offers heritage travelers a unique opportunity to (among other things) experience authentic mountain music in the region where it was born. The Crooked Road joins 11 other great destinations on the 2010 list. And for the first time, the public will determine which of the 12 destinations will be the 2010 Fan Favorite. Starting today you can vote for your favorite city or town on this year’s list. And when you vote, you can enter to win a complimentary two-night stay at any Historic Hotel of America (no purchase necessary). You can vote as often as you’d like at www.preservationnation.org/ddd from today through February 28 (open to legal residents of the U.S., 18 years of age or older). We hope you’ll take this opportunity to support Southwest Virginia's "Crooked Road" region with your vote. We also hope that you’ll share the link with friends, colleagues and family who share your interest in experiencing America’s authentic heritage when you travel for business or pleasure. PS - Did we mention that you can vote for us as often as you like? You can read more here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35201170?pg=1#DistinctiveDestinations_Lovitt_100203 |
