On Tuesday, May 18, the new Georgia World War II Heritage Trail was presented with a TravelBlazers Award by the Georgia Association of Convention and Visitors Bureaus (GACVB) at their annual conference in Savannah.
The trail includes the Currahee Military Museum in Toccoa.
“This tourism award recognizes a variety of new destination attractions and innovative ideas that have resulted from the creativity, passion and teamwork of community leaders from various city, county, travel and business / industry sectors,” Jay Markwalter, GACVB executive director said.
“These new projects make a significant impact on the economic development of the community and enhance the vitality of a region,” he said.
“We are excited about the momentum and recognition that the Trail has received by Explore Georgia tourism and we encourage everyone in northeast Georgia to visit Currahee Military Museum, as their first stop on the Trail,” said Brenda Carlan, Currahee Military Museum executive director said.
