Contribute to our Battlefield Preservation Fund
The Civil War Round Table of Chicago has a passionate dedication to American Civil War historic battlefield site preservation. It is a major component of our mission. The importance of honoring these hallowed grounds cannot be overemphasized. We encourage members to contribute to our Battlefield Preservation Fund on a regular basis. We’re proud of our generous record of cash donations to battlefield restoration and preservation campaigns throughout the country.
Our Mission:
The Battlefield Preservation Fund Committee of the Civil War Round Table of
Chicago advocates for Civil War battlefield site preservation through
fund-raising and consciousness-raising (i.e., education). With the moral and
financial support as well as the input of Round Table members, the committee
contributes to a variety of preservation groups and efforts.
The committee actively seeks to cultivate both the interest and the input of Round Table
members; we request that members with knowledge of and concern for worthy
preservation projects provide that information to the committee for its
consideration.
