60,000 Acres Saved—And Counting!
Thanks to the unwavering support of our members and partners, the Trust has now preserved more than 60,000 acres of hallowed ground, including 14.5 newly protected acres at Gettysburg Battlefield.
Where It All Began!
Before April 19, 1775, Lexington and Concord were quiet New England towns — by day’s end, they were etched into American history. This issue of Hallowed Ground explores the opening chapter of the Revolution, from midnight riders to Bunker Hill.
