My family has always brought me up to respect conservation efforts and preservation of historical grounds. From a young age I was very taken back with the history of hundreds of historical sites across Pennsylvania and the Mid Atlantic. Battlefield Preservation is needed for both memorial and educational opportunities. As we face growing urban and suburban sprawl and commercial expansion towards our historic sites everything from Governor Simon Snyder’s Mansion to Fort Duquesne to Gettysburg and Valley Forge Battlefield Preservation and education is important because of the fact that it shows the proud, challenging and deadly history our nation has been through. As a Living Historian I want to help spark increased interest and education of the history and backstory of our nation and her struggles and preserve land which holds the historical value of our young and complex history. I donate to the American Battlefield Trust because the resources and history they have at getting results is inspiring to continue the educational and preservation opportunities.
I hope that the American Battlefield Trust can continue for centuries through stewards who will fight like heck to ensure preservation is successful and I hope thousands acres more will be preserved and transformed to education millions.
Our Next generation Is our next generation of stewards.
