Visitors to the website can build their own itinerary based on location or interests, choosing from 15 places that can be explored in addition to stories of prominent people and historic events that can be perused. Also at the website, a QR code can be scanned to access the augmented reality version of historical sites.<\/p>\n<p>Co-founder and program director Alva Jackson recognized cousin Dr. Evelyn Treacle-Moore \u201cthe family historian\u201d and brother Robert Jackson as the other co-founders of the project.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe inspiration for the Hidden History Trail came out of learning our family history and all the surnames that were part of our history like Carter, Sydnor, Nickens, Payne, Ball, Veney, Haynie and Lee. It emphasizes the fact we are part of a community and share a common goal.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine also shared comments through video in which he said the \u201cinnovative, digital experience would provide a new perspective to the centuries of history within the Northern Neck of Virginia. It will serve to uplift the untold history of Virginia\u2019s tribal communities and people of color and will also invite the community to reflect together on the past, present and future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Treakle-Moore said there is still \u201clots of history to be explored and to be added. The trail is not to be set in stone. It is one that is growing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The project was funded through the Macedonia Community Development Corporation (MACorp).
