Our
June 2006 purchase of the 208-acre Slaughter Pen Farm at Fredericksburg
was, at $12 million, the largest private battlefield purchase in
America's history, and remains the biggest transaction the Trust has
ever attempted. But with your backing, we accepted the risk, and
secured this supremely hallowed ground.
The
good news is that we've raised more than 60% of the total that we need
to raise, but our next $100,000 payment is due and we need your help.
So today, I ask you to please be as generous as you can and once again
help the Civil War Trust meet its annual loan obligation for the
Slaughter Pen Farm. Donate Today »
