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.
History in Bloom
Preservation goes beyond saving battlefields — it’s about helping nature thrive where history was made. From removing invaders to welcoming pollinators, the Trust's land stewardship efforts are blending ecology with commemoration.
Save Sacred Revolutionary War Land
Join the American Battlefield Trust in preserving 218 acres of hallowed Revolutionary War ground and expanding The Liberty Trail before America’s 250th birthday.
