Go to battlefields.org and check out the American Battlefield Trust's 157th anniversary online tour. They're onsite filming and posting videos now. The Trust has done this at other battlefields as well, including at Gettysburg a couple of years ago. It's all available online but join for some live coverage today.

The American Battlefield Trust used to be the Civil War Trust. The name was changed a few years ago because the NPS urgently asked for help on Revolutionary War and War of 1812 sites as well. The Trust is focused on preservation; it raises money to buy dirt to save battlefields. In a little over 20 years it has saved over 55,000 acres, which compares favorably with 85,000 acres saved by the National Park Service in over a century. It's an excellent charity.
