Gist's Trace: Difference between revisions

The entire roadway is of great historic interest and finally, as it became an important part of the National Road (Pike) it took its place among the most famous highways of the migratory experience of America. Although the name of the road has changed over the years from Nemocolin's Path, Washington's Road, Braddock's Road, and the National Pike, it has earned its place in the economic and political history of the United States. It travels through Maryland, West Virginia and Pennsylvania and is an important route for genealogists researching those earliest years of the nations settlements from the colonies westward.
