Accokeek Heritage Tourism Study


(Click on the above image for the study)

In 2021 the Greater Accokeek Civic Association, the Accokeek Foundation, and the Alice Ferguson Foundation applied to the Prince George’s County Planning Department’s Planning Assistance to Municipalities and Communities program to undertake the Accokeek Heritage Tourism Study. As the final report – just completed -- summarizes, “This study identifies and analyzes heritage tourism resources in Accokeek, Prince George's County, Maryland, the challenges they face, and provides recommendations to make them known or better known using best practices. The study identifies common heritage themes and 34 action steps to enhance connectivity and accessibility, without threatening the resources themselves or the community's quality of life.”   The Accokeek Heritage Tourism Study Final Report is now available on-line at https://www.mncppcapps.org/planning/publications/BookDetail.cfm?item_id=424&Category_id=2 .  The report provides important background and a sound foundation to enable greater Accokeek to realize numerous recommendations that will benefit and strengthen our diverse community.  We are very grateful to have this important resource.
