Its mission is to \u201cpreserve, educate and inspire\u201d Americans through identifying and preserving historically important battlefields and heritage sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cToo often the threats to our priceless historical treasures go unnoticed,\u201d said Trust President James Lighthizer in the release. \u201cThis report is a rallying cry to the nation, a powerful reminder that our most hallowed ground may still be in imminent danger.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The trust has previously secured protection for over 52,000 acres in 24 states, preserved and restored Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.battlefields.org\/news\/civil-war-trust-announces-preservation-and-restoration-gen-lees-headquarters-gettysburg\">headquarters<\/a> in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and created GPS-based <a href=\"https:\/\/www.battlefields.org\/visit\/mobile-apps\">apps<\/a> to guide visitors at select sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"530\" height=\"434\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Tupelo-Battlefield-Encoachement-Square.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-78402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Tupelo-Battlefield-Encoachement-Square.jpg.jpg 530w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Tupelo-Battlefield-Encoachement-Square.jpg.jpg?resize=300,246 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 530px) 100vw, 530px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tupelo National Battlefield in Tupelo, Mississippi, is one example of a historic battlefield threatened by commercial encroachment. \nAt just one acre, it is the smallest Civil War site administered by the National Park Service.

We really do want to hear from people about \u2018Is there a French and Indian War battlefield in upstate New York that\u2019s being threatened?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While many famous battlefields have garnered protection, others \u201care all but forgotten, ignored, and uncared for, despite their importance to the American story,\u201d the release stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Such preservation victories include saving over 100 acres on Morris Island, South Carolina, where the 54th Massachusetts Infantry \u2014 a famous African American regiment \u2014 led an assault of Fort Wagner during the Civil War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While officials were not able to speak about potential entries in the forthcoming report, they are seeking a \u201ccomprehensive list\u201d to include a variety of battlefields, such as sites from the War of 1812 and other lesser known battles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe always strive to be a partnership organization, to find ways to work with state governments, the federal government,\u201d Koik said. \u201cWe could not function without the [National Park Service\u2019s] American Battlefield Protection Program (ABPP), as well as matching grant programs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEach day, priceless acres fall victim to development, succumbing to the backhoe and the bulldozer,\u201d the release added, but Koik said that threats to heritage sites come in all forms \u2014 not only commercial development but also natural disasters like hurricanes and tornadoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Entries can be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.battlefields.org\/preserve\/history-under-siege\">submitted online<\/a> and must detail how the site is currently threatened. The \u201csubmission of relevant photographs, recent news stories and other supporting material\u201d is encouraged, according to the release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nominations, which can include any battlefield on American soil, are due by March 1, 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cToo often the threats to our priceless historical treasures go
