DRAFT AGREEMENT FOR ELLENTON TRAIL RECEIVED

Recent DOE delivery of a draft Real Estate Agreement cleared a major hurdle toward providing escorted tours of the former site of the community of Ellenton.  Ellenton was one of several small rural communities displaced in the early 1950s to make room for the Savannah River Site.  The SRS Heritage Foundation has been planning for years to open the site to escorted walking tours.  Although several details remain to be resolved, receipt of the draft Real Estate agreement is one of the last milestones in the planning process.  The Ellenton Heritage Trail is approaching reality!
