Time is Running Out to Save our History!

Development is Threatening the Battlefields on a Daily basis!

Now in our thirteenth  year, the Central Virginia Battlefields Trust (CVBT) has systematically acquired land on all four of the Fredericksburg area's battlefields.  We continue to identify and save our historical hallowed ground for now and future generations. 

 It's only through the generosity of our members and donors that we have been able to save the following irreplaceable ground where so many gave their ultimate sacrifice:
