Last week McMinnville added two new sites to the Civil War Trails program which maintains and markets over 1,500 tourism destinations across six states. It is often touted as the world’s largest “open-air museum.” The project was the result of a partnership between the McMinnville Tourism Development Board, Civil War Trails, Inc. and the Tennessee Department of Tourist Development and is expected to bring a stronger fiscal return to the community.
