Save 112 Acres at Gettysburg
Most
visitors suppose that the famous Union "fishhook" position rested its
flanks on Little Round Top and Culp's Hill, but the Union and
Confederate lines were even longer than most people realize. The Civil
War Trust now has the tremendous opportunity to save 112 acres of the
Gettysburg battlefield – and save forever the "forgotten flanks" of this
iconic battle.

From Our President


January 2013
Dear Civil War Preservationist,
Dear Civil War Preservationist,
What
a year 2012 proved to be! Thanks to your generosity and continued
support, the Civil War Trust turned in another record year on the
battlefield preservation front. We closed 39 separate transactions at
26 different battlefields in eight different states – or in other words
we saved another 3,735 acres of Civil War battlefield land, putting us
over the 35,000 acres saved mark. How about that!?
And
we don't plan to rest a bit in 2013. Just this month we introduced a
new campaign to save another 112 acres at Gettysburg. As always, we are
only as good as our members... and frankly you've been great. So help
us continue the push in this sesquicentennial year.
- Jim Lighthizer, Civil War Trust President
