We’re David and Nancy Keaton

We’re David and Nancy Keaton, explorers with a deep appreciation for the stories sewn into the fabric of small towns and rural communities. We began with a simple idea: to slow down, take the scenic route, and discover the rich history that lies just beyond the main highways.

Through Heritage Backroads, we aim to share our passion for heritage travel,
immersing ourselves in the culture, architecture, and traditions that define each special community. From historic courthouses and quaint main streets to local festivals and mom-and-pop diners, we believe that every backroad leads to a story worth telling.

Whether you’re a fellow traveler, a history enthusiast, or someone who cherishes the
charm of small-town life, we invite you to join us as we explore the heritage and history that enriches our lives and connects us all.

So, hop in and take a ride down the backroads with us and discover the stories worth saving.
