ANNOUNCING THE AMERICAN ROAD® FOUNDATION!

In order to promote the preservation and economic development of America's historic roads and auto trails, AMERICAN ROAD® Magazine is proud to announce the organization of the AMERICAN ROAD® FOUNDATION. The AMERICAN ROAD® FOUNDATION will operate as a 501c3 nonprofit Corporation governed by a Board of Directors that represent a nationwide constituency and includes leadership representation from various historic highway associations. Board members may also be historians, preservationists, educators, and tourism officials.

The AMERICAN ROAD® FOUNDATION will:

Be a voice of advocacy to identify common issues and responses relevant to all historic American roads.
Actively seek grant funding that will benefit historic American roads.
Serve the historic roads community as a single point clearinghouse for information about historic roads.

As part of a strategic plan to promote and assist in the celebration of heritage tourism, the AMERICAN ROAD® FOUNDATION plans to sponsor a regular conference and festival that will both celebrate the value of historic roads and provide educational opportunities through workshops and seminars. The first AMERICAN ROAD® Festival is being planned—stay tuned for details.
