HELP SAVE OUR CIVIL WAR BATTLEFIELDS

"The American heroes of the Civil War call out to us across the generations to remind us of our duty to preserve their legacy. If we don't act now, we risk losing these irreplaceable historic treasures forever. Please join us, get involved, and help us in preserving this sacred land while there is still time." - CWPT

Although the Civil War ended over 140 years ago, another conflict is being fought today on the very ground where our ancestors fought and died. This fight is for the preservation of America's battlefields. Despite their historic significance, miles of precious acreage continue to be threatened by the growing epidemic of urban sprawl.

What was once considered SACRED has now become SALEABLE.
What was once considered PROTECTED has now become PROFITABLE.

According to The Civil War Preservation Trust, nearly 20 percent of America's Civil War battlefields have already been destroyed and therefore, denied forever to future generations. Of those that remain, the Federal government currently protects only 15 percent. Even more startling is the estimate that 30 acres of Civil War battlefield land are destroyed every day! If not stopped, nothing will be left to honor the legacy and sacrifice of these men.

The Civil War Preservation Trust is America's largest non-profit organization devoted to the preservation of our nation's endangered Civil War battlefields. The Trust also promotes educational programs and heritage tourism initiatives to share the war's history and the fundamental conflicts.
