Park Day 2003: Deserve Their Sacrifice, Preserve Their Memory
March 29, 2003

Photo of Park Day 2001 Volunteers Civil War Preservation Trust members will turn out in droves to give some hands-on help to their favorite Civil War sites this March. In the past, preservation projects have included painting signs or cannon carriages, reinstalling headstones, laying trails, sweeping leaves, or hauling trash out of a stream. With the lean budgets our sites have for maintenance, every helping hand means significant financial and personnel savings for parks. And, at each site, volunteers will hear historians tell them about the land they are helping to preserve. Please plan to join us Saturday, March 29 at a site near you for a day of history, hard work, and hands-on preservation fun!
