That's a very good question! And, unfortunately, I don't have an answer. A couple years ago, I tried to track down information on the web about the highway markers, and it seems that it is only available in a book (which... I might pick up a copy, since a new edition is supposed to be coming out "in early 2007"). I contemplated starting a web page with pictures and locations of the markers... but it would be difficult, since I don't live in Virginia (I only visit there a couple times a year). But, alas, it would be time consuming (and I don't think I could support yet another hobby :-) I searched the Virginia Department of Historic Resources website, and according to them, the information on the markers is submitted with the application for each marker. So the Department probably cannot supply more information about the topic on the markers (although, it might be very interesting to view the original application. Perhaps it contains information on who submitted the application... and if that person or group is still available, they would certainly have more info). I think I will try to email someone at the agency to find out how helpful they might be in tracking down such info. I'll keep you posted.
