The ballot for the next election of officers and board members is mailing this June.  We will have a vacancy for the Treasurer position and we are now seeking skilled candidates to fill both the Treasurer and board positions.  If interested, please send an email with background information to [email protected]  

We are so excited to hear that the Tennessee Civil War Sites Preservation Trust has given a large grant to American Battlefield Trust to purchase over 32 acres.  The property is between Agri-Park Lane and Gresham Lane.  This will allow Interpretation of the first hours of the Battle of Stones River on lands dissected by both the Confederate and Union lines and where the Confederate assault pushed back the collapsing right flank.
When this purchase is completed, American Battlefield Trust has protected almost 80 acres of the original battlefield from future development.  The lands do sit outside the national battlefield's authorized boundaries so it will take Congressional action to add it to the park.  But the plans for both parcels are to add interpretative trails for visitor information and understanding.
We thank both TCWSPT and ABT for preserving this important history in Murfreesboro.
