Establish Yorktown Road as a Heritage Road
Present-day Yorktown Road exists as a timeline, marking the course
of history over the road’s lifetime of existence. Structures
along its length have come and gone, but the road has remained relatively
unchanged for over 100 years. As such, Yorktown Road is a relic of
history that should be preserved. Through design, policy and management,
the road should be treated with the level of respect and care ascribed
to any other cultural resource. The Rural Heritage Program of The
National Trust for Historic Preservation has been in the forefront
of the movement to recognize and preserve the nation’s heritage
roadways. With their guidance, Yorktown Road can become one as well.
