Augusta County Library to host local author, discussion of history of Route 11

Author Michael McCray will be at the Augusta County Library in Fishersville on Tuesday to discuss his book, From Champlain to Pontchartrain: A Journey Through History Along one of America’s Great Highways – U.S. Rt. 11.

Seems like a neat topic, as Route 11 cuts through the heart of our area here.

Have to admit: I didn’t realize Route 11 ran all the way from the Canadian border in upstate New York to Louisiana within sight of New Orleans, covering 1,800 miles.

Tuesday’s event will begin at 6 p.m.
