The CW Trust has been around for a while and has been instrumental in expanding battlefield lands or stopping residential/commercial encroachment (up to a point). They're legit.Or I am open to a better one:
Their purpose is to save battlefield sites mostly from urban growth and expand the sites onto adjacent lands that often were a critical part of that battle but are privately owned.The sites priority seems to be battlefield preservation. Its priority does not seem to focus on the scholarly examination of Civil War history in detail, but rather one facet of it, that is the history of battlefields.
I think some friends and I helped them out years ago when we ran into one of their fundraising events while on a Poker Run that brought us through Manassas, VA. We parked our bikes long enough to have some bar-b-cue and each of us made a small donation in addition to the lunch.Their purpose is to save battlefield sites mostly from urban growth and expand the sites onto adjacent lands that often were a critical part of that battle but are privately owned.The sites priority seems to be battlefield preservation.

If I remember correctly the impetus that got them formed was the building of Fair Oaks Mall which opened in 1980. The battle of Fair Oaks was the final battle of 2nd Manassas, was fought in the middle of a huge thunderstorm and two of the Union's most promising generals were killed. All that's left is a tiny stone memorial on the side of the road on Rte 50 across from the mall. The entire area is now completely overrun by urban sprawl.I think some friends and I helped them out years ago when we ran into one of their fundraising events while on a Poker Run that brought us through Manassas, VA.
