I’ve already blogged this effort in detail, but last week, we launched the new website for the Daniel Boone Wilderness Trail and it’s probably one of our best efforts yet. Working with three great voices in Scott County, The GoTriCities Network is working with these folks to continue to help build tourism and interest into Scott County, VA with this new edutainment website that describes a historical journey made by Daniel Boone in the late 18th century.
Boone and several men forged the Wilderness Road from Tennessee into Kentucky and along the way are sites through Southwest Virginia that chronicle this expedition. Along with several historians and history buffs in the region, The Daniel Boone Wilderness Trail Association has gathered journal notes and other documents that help validate several sites along this trail that begins in Kingsport and meanders through Southwest Virginia before terminating at Cumberland Gap, TN.
Congrats to Jacob, Sam and Eric who were key participants in the design project and we look forward to helping these folks promote one of the most important tourism efforts in Southwest Virginia. I enjoyed working with Bob, David and Joe along this project very much and appreciated their insight into our regional history. Special thanks to the people who helped me along the way as I shot most of the photos along this trail and special thanks to Harold Jerril for his new photos that are making the site even more appealing.
