Easy Ways To Leave A Lasting Legacy
How You Support Our Work
Preserve Our National Heritage
We preserve significant battlefield land in perpetuity by working with willing sellers and utilizing well-established conservation strategies. By preserving the sites of our nation’s formative conflicts — the American Revolution, War of 1812, and Civil War —the American Battlefield Trust provides a means to experience stories that shaped the nation we have become.
Educate the Next Generation
With your help, we keep alive the memory of our country's formative conflicts through a broad range of heritage tourism and education initiatives. Battlefields are outdoor classrooms, teaching young and old about the sacrifices made to secure the precious freedoms we enjoy today.
Inspire a Legacy
By protecting the landscapes where important battles occurred, we are creating living memorials — not just to the 800,000 Americans who perished in the conflicts of America's first centuries, but to all of the men and women who have answered this country's call, prepared to give their last full measure of devotion.
