In its report in 1993 the Civil War Sites Advisory Commission designated the 384 principal battlefields of the war. The condition of these battlefields today is alarming: 222 of them are not protected. Of the 162 that have protection, some are large enough to honor the soldiers and to enable visitors to understand the battle. Others are too small or fragmented.
The Conservation Fund's Civil War Battlefield Campaign works in partnerships to protect our nation's hallowed ground, to provide comprehensive information on the 384 principal Civil War battlefields, designated by the Civil War Sites Advisory Commission, and to honor those that fought and died in the war.
The successes in battlefield preservation today are the result of efforts by both the private and public sectors. We thank those who have generously supported Civil War Battlefield Preservation across the nation.
The Fund offers a number of publications that provide historical detail about Civil War battles and help protect our nation's hallowed ground, including the definitive guide to Civil War battlefields.
From government agencies to corporations, from private landowners to land trusts and local communities, the Fund's partners seek our expertise to:
