Firing the First Shot of the American Civil War at Fort Johnson

Have you heard about our latest preservation opportunity to purchase three battlefield tracts spanning three wars?

  Three parcels of land totaling almost seven acres — with history spanning the French and Indian War, the Revolutionary War, and the beginning shots of the Civil War — must be preserved and we must act fast to save it.

  Thanks to generous local grants, as well as commitments from a major donor and private landowners, the amount we need to raise for these three parcels is just $62,000 of the total $2.7 million.

  Each of these transactions will allow us to add to existing protected lands and preserve them for future generations, while making progress toward our ambitious goal of saving 2,500 acres of Revolutionary War battlefields to mark the conflict’s 250th anniversary!

  Your Gift Matched $45-to-$1! That means every $1 you give is worth $45 with these matching grants. Securing these properties is well within reach with your help. Please make a donation today.

  Will you join us in protecting hallowed ground at Fort Johnson, South Carolina, Eutaw Springs, South Carolina, and Fort Ticonderoga, New York? Your gift will be matched $45-to-$1!

  Thank you for everything you do to preserve America's hallowed ground.

 With warmest regards,

 Garry Adelman, Chief Historian
