"By preserving the hallowed ground of a Civil War battlefield we don’t just preserve land; we also preserve the memories and the meaning, the sacrifices and the stories, of the men who fought and fell there, men whose bond to cause and comrade and country was so strong that they were willing to die rather than to deny it."

Central Virginia Battlefields Trust' s mission is preserving endangered hallowed ground. Becoming a valued member of the Trust is all about

supporting the mission.

Members will receive a quarterly issue of our Skirmish line newsletter keeping you abreast of CVBT activities and battlefield concerns. Members also receive a vehicle window decal to show your support for CVBT. You will also be added to our "E-Mail Alert System" which will inform you of breaking preservation news in the area.

We at Central Virginia Battlefields Trust realize the immense responsibility that is entrusted in those of us who are aware that time is quickly running out to save these battlefields. We must protect these grounds for future generations so they may walk the fields, hear the stories of those who fought and learn the importance of saving our history.

Membership support is crucial!

Subdivisions, parking lots, massive store fronts are being constructed and forever erasing the historic battlefields and dampening the stories of those who fought and helped mold our nation. Over 600,000 died in America’s Civil War and we at Central Virginia Battlefields Trust are dedicated to protecting the memories and stories of those brave souls by saving the hallowed grounds upon which they gave so much.
