Participate in Voting For Heritage Trail Sites in Anguilla

 

You Have the Opportunity to Participate in Voting For Heritage Trail Sites in Anguilla

The Heritage Trail will be a self-guided driving tour of the island which incorporates sites of historic interest and significance, with scope in the future to include scenic overlooks and places of natural interest. Anyone can vote for their top 12 sites. From these, a committee will choose the most suitable 10 (based on a set of criteria including location, accessibility, etc). The public is being solicited at this stage before the committee moves forward with the actual creation of the signs. Some funds have been designated to start the process and additional funds are needed to cover the creation and erection of small, directional signs and yearly maintenance. Please send your votes, feedback or interest in donating to Lilli at maritimearcheology@gmail.com.
