Marker History VOLUME III
Richmond Region
At Markerhistory.com, we are dedicated to increasing
the number of people exposed to the unique narrative provided by historical road markers. To do this we have created the Historical Marker Collection – a lavishly-photographed series of pictorial guidebooks, posters and postcards. We are also committed to helping sustain historical road marker programs and historic preservation. We help sustain historical road marker programs by giving back a portion of our retail sales to fund historical road marker programs. We promote historic preservation by acting as a fund raising partner with historical societies and schools, providing wholesale pricing in connection with fundraising campaigns. The Historical Marker Collection guidebook series consists of eleven (11) planned volumes. Each guide contains a full page color image of the markers relating to a specific geographic region or subject, as well as convenient marker title, marker number, gps coordinate, and geographic location indexes for easy reference. The marker images are grouped by key historic periods and arranged chronologically within each, providing a unique regional/subject overview of the significant places, events and people that define our past and have shaped who we are today. Virginia Marker History – Volume III is a guide to the Virginia historical road markers located in the Richmond Region.
