American Battlefield Trust

Mission

The American Battlefield Trust seeks to preserve our nation's hallowed battlegrounds and educate the public about what happened there and why it matters today. We permanently protect these battlefields for future generations as a lasting and tangible memorial to the brave soldiers who fought in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Civil War. Through the generosity of our dedicated members, we have preserved more than 60,000 acres of significant battlefield land in 25 states. We also educate the next generation about the sacrifices made to secure the freedoms we enjoy today. History education is the foundation of good citizenship and is key to developing the leaders of tomorrow. Battlefields are outdoor classrooms, and we bring to life the history of America's turbulent first century through outstanding educator resources, our award-winning magazine, cutting-edge digital productions, and engaging social media.

Vision

By preserving the battlefields where the United States was defined and refined – and educating the public at what happened on this hallowed ground - we hope that today’s Americans will become similarly dedicated to founding principles so that they may be informed and thoughtful participants in self-government, that America might always realize its promise of freedom and personal liberty, and that we continue our journey toward that more perfect union.

Goals

1.Grow preservation efforts to substantially complete the preservation of key Civil War battlefields and reach 2,500 acres of preserved Revolutionary War battlefield land.
2.Deliver factual and unbiased historical information to millions of people, including students, teachers and life-long learners each year.
3.In recognition of America’s 250th birthday, the American Battlefield Trust has made it our goal to raise $125 million by July 4, 2026, to safeguard our nation’s historic battlefields for future generations.
