Together we have saved 8 Acres
The Newtonia Battlefields Protection Association preserves and interprets the Matthew H. Ritchey home and 25 acres of surrounding 1862 and 1864 battlefields. Most of the battlefield is on private lands. The Ritchey home served as both Union and Confederate headquarters at different times during the battles.
