"We’re thrilled to have this program in York...” said Melissa Beaverson. This past weekend a new Civil War Trails sign was unveiled alongside five new headstones for Black veterans in historic Lebanon Cemetery in York, Pennsylvania. More than 100 visitors attended the ceremony including the local office for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Thanks to the Friends of Lebanon Cemetery for inviting us to help tell part of their incredible story and to Explore York for the grant which made this all possible. https://shorturl.at/gtFU1 #anationsstory #ExploreYorkPA #civilwartrails #capitalregionusa #placemaking #visitpa #blackhistory365

Last week, Melissa Beaverson, Alexis Noel, and Julie Murphy attended the Simpleview Summit in Milwaukee. They enjoyed meeting up with our friends at Simpleview, including Fidel M. and Kayla Acosta. They also heard from keynote speaker Ken Schmidt, former director of communications for Harley-Davidson. He talked about the importance of getting consumers to repeat and remember what we want them to say about our destination. #ExploreYorkPA #HaveitMadeHere #tourism #SimpleviewSummit #VisitMKE Visit Milwaukee
