Please Post: Conference: "The Valley Road of Virginia: History and Landscape, 1700-2000," June 4-5, 2004, Shenandoah University, Winchester, Virginia. From its inception as a route for Native American travel before European contact to its present form as Interstate 81, the Valley Road through the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia has proven to be one of the most important avenues for travel, trade, migration, and commerce in North America. The distinctive cultural landscapes of the Valley are the product of this road's influence in shaping social, economic, and political history. This conference explores the interconnections between road and landscape through presentations, preservation workshops, and tours. Chaired by Warren Hofstra and Karl Raitz, the conference includes James Bryant, John Heatwole, Kenneth Keller, Geraldine Kiefer, Gabrielle Lanier, Ann McCleary, Michael McConnell, and George Thompson. Sponsored by the Community History Project of Shenandoah University; The Knowledge Point: Shenandoah University's History and Tourism Center; and the Center for American Places.
