Help Close the Gap at Gaines’ Mill, Cold Harbor & Appomattox Court House

We have a chance to save these two critical pieces of history… and do it for just a fraction of their full value! 

Combined, these tracts are appraised at $680,000. But thanks to state and federal matching grants, and a seller’s deferred payment schedule on the Cold Harbor property, we need to raise $172,500 by January. That means every dollar you give today will be matched $4-to-$1. 

From the carnage of Cold Harbor to Lee’s surrender... today you can save two of the most symbolic acres in Civil War history. Please help us close the gap before it’s too late.
