Saving America's Hallowed Ground
Additional Description: The Civil War Preservation Trust is America's largest nonprofit organization devoted to saving our nation's endangered Civil War battlefields. Since its founding in 1987, and with the support of its 70,000 dedicated members, the Trust has preserved more than 24,000 acres of hallowed ground in 18 states. The map shows the locations of these sites as of 2007.

You are here because you appreciate our country's history and enjoy seeing the places where Americans did great things. These places, which are vital to our national memory but are often threatened by development, can only be preserved through well-funded, deliberate, and urgent action.

Please help us save our country's hallowed ground. You can find out more about the Civil War Preservation Trust and how you can help by going online at www.civilwar.org, by e-mailing us at [email protected], or by calling us at (888) 606-1400. Our mailing address is Civil War Preservation Trust, 1331 H. St. NW, Suite 1001, Washington, DC 20005.
