CWT: Antietam - Save antietam epicenter

[woodsda]

Today, 44 acres at epicenter of the battlefield, bordered by such iconic landmarks as the Cornfield, the Dunker Church, and the East and West Woods, remain privately owned and unprotected. For $575,000, the Civil War Trust can purchase and restore this land, preserving the epicenter of Antietam forever. Several of the Trust’s top supporters and Trustees have already made pledges, and we hope to receive a total of $460,000 from these folks, but we need your help to raise the final $115,000 in the next 90 days. Help ensure that this crucial ground, which historian Dennis Frye has called "the bloodiest ground of the bloodiest day in American history," is saved forever.

Help save the Epicenter of Antietam!

Gave a donation. Looking at the map on where the property is there is no way I couldn't.

$5 to $1 match on this campaign, folks. Donated today 4/9/15 on the 150th of Appomattox. A fitting tribute to the souls from both sides.
