President Bush Signs Journey Through Hallowed
Ground National Heritage Area Into Law
On May 8, President Bush endorsed legislation to create the Journey

Heritage Area in the nation. The JTHG NHA encompasses the entire JTHG

for economic development, particularly within the heritage tourism industry,
as well as the educational programs for students of every age.
