Save Battlefields

Battlefields are part of our national heritage, scenes of struggle and sacrifice where American soldiers lost their lives. The American Battlefield Trust is working to preserve these “hallowed grounds,” as Abraham Lincoln called them, so that future generations can learn from them and can learn to appreciate their hard-won freedom.
