The perfect heritage tourism headline

They misrendered"HISTORY!!!" as "history" but otherwise it's the perfect headline: Preservation of Civil War history advances with state grants.

And where did the money go? "... to the Catoctin Center for Regional Studies at Frederick Community College, the National Museum of Civil War Medicine in Frederick and the Catoctin Aqueduct Restoration Fund." (The NMCWM appears to be the fig leaf here.)

Dive under a Civil War headline like this a year from now and the awardees will be a pet shelter, a day care for working moms, and a highway extension.
