A Note about "Official" W3R Routes

The W3R route from Mount Vernon to Yorktown has been designated the "Washington-Rochambeau Highway" and is marked as specified by the Virginia General Assembly in 1980 Session 9 Chapter 121 H 93. The Expédition Particulière Commemorative Cantonment Society has posted photos of many of these historical roadside markers.
