Journey
Through Hallowed Ground Executive Director to Speak at Northern Virginia
Community College Historic Preservation Open House on Aug. 15
Washington, D.C.
(July22, 2005) – The Journey Through Hallowed Ground’s Executive Director,
Cate Magennis Wyatt will discuss “The Journey past, present and future” in a
special presentation at the Northern Virginia Community College Historic
Preservation Certificate Program Open House on Monday, Aug. 15, at its
Loudoun campus, 1000 Byrd Highway in Sterling, VA.
The Open House will
introduce the curriculum for a new college-credit course which will survey
the American history represented along The Journey Through Hallowed Ground,
the 175-mile historic corridor from Gettysburg, Pa., to Monticello, Va.,
which was recently named one of America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places by the
National Trust for Historic Preservation.
“We expect this course to attract a myriad of students
from elementary and secondary teachers in the region to budding historians to
members of the community who want to learn more about the historic corridor
in which they live,” said Beverly Blois Ph.D, Dean of the Humanities
Division, Program Head for Historic Preservation, NOVA Loudoun.
The NVCC Open House is located in room LW 116 from 6-7:30
p.m. For more information, visit: www.nvcc.edu/loudoun/preserve

The Journey
Through Hallowed Ground is a public–private partnership and
501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to raising national awareness of the
heritage and cultural resources along the Old Carolina Road, from Gettysburg,
Pa., to Monticello, Va. This 175-mile historic corridor was designated as one of America’s 11 Most Endangered
Historic Places by The National Trust for Historic Preservation in
2005. The Journey Through Hallowed Ground is Where America
Happened – a corridor that holds more American history than any other swath
of land in the United States. For more information, visit The Journey Through

Study the History of America Through Its Architecture
at the NVCC Loudoun Campus
This fall, the
Loudoun Campus of Northern Virginia Community College (NVCC) offers a class
that gives students a unique look at American homes from the colonial era to
today. Survey of American Architecture (HIS 298) provides a comprehensive
overview of the styles, origins and history of American domestic
architecture.
Students will learn
about the style evolution of American architecture and the architects and
builders that shaped that evolution. Guest lecturers will discuss building
techniques and the history of specific structures, and field trips to sites
such as the 18th century village of Waterford and the 20th
century town of Reston allow students to analyze structures from different
time periods.
In addition to
studying homes, buildings such as the Dulles airport terminal designed by
Eero Sarinen will also be examined. The course is taught by Dana Shoaf,
editor of America’s Civil War magazine and a member of the NVCC Historic
Preservation Advisory Board.
Registration for
fall classes at the Reston Center and all six NVCC campuses is going on now.
Apply for admission online at www.nvcc.edu/novaconnect, or visit any
