Saving Civil War Battlefields on April 4

Posted by admin on Mar 24, 2009

Actor Richard Dreyfuss made a plea to help save our country’s Civil War battlefields this month. The actor (center) is working with the Civil War Preservation Trust, a nonprofit organization that seeks to save endangered Civil War battlefields, as well as to educate the public about the war’s history.

The organization is sponsoring Park Day 2009 on April 4, at which volunteers can work to improve Civil War sites. Ten locations in Georgia are listed for Park Day 2009, including gravesite cleanup at the Blue and Gray Museum in Fitzgerald; painting, sweeping and other activities at Historic Prater’s Mill in Dalton; and painting, rebuilding park benches and more at Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park.
