At Markerhistory.com we are dedicated to exposing
the unique narrative historical road markers provide to as many people as possible. To do this we have created the Historical Marker Collection — a lavishly-photographed collection of pictorial guides, posters and postcards. We are committed to helping sustain historical road marker programs and historic preservation. We give back a portion of our retail sales to help fund historical marker programs and act as a fund raising partner to historical societies and schools, providing wholesale pricing in connection with fundraising campaigns.. The Historical Marker Collection series of Virginia Marker History Guides consists of eleven (11) planned volumes. Each volume contains a full page color image of each marker in that region as well as convenient marker title, marker number, gps coordinate, and geographic location indexes for easy reference. Grouped by key historic periods and arranged chronologically within each, the guides provide a unique overview of the significant places, events and people that define our past and have shaped who we are today. Virginia Marker History – Volume I is a pictorial guide of the Virginia historical road markers located in the Fredericksburg, Culpeper, Warrenton and Upper Piedmont Region.
