Preservation Victory: 26 Acres
CWPT Saved Land at
Fleetwood Hill

Take Advantage of a $6 to $1 match to help save Fleetwood Hill
It was the largest cavalry battle of the Civil War. More than 20,000 cavalrymen from North and South clashed here at Brandy Station on June 9th, 1863. Earlier this year we were able to secure 23 acres of this important battlefield. Now we have an opportunity to add another 26 acre tract of Fleetwood Hill to the saved list. This new tract is adjacent to the earlier tract and represents ground that was at the very center of the swirling cavalry action at Fleetwood Hill. With a $6 to $1 match your donation to save America’s history has never stretched further.
