Mission
The purpose of the American Battlefield Trust is to inspire appreciation of America, its history, and its promise of liberty through an understanding of the wars fought on its soil, and of the sacrifices of earlier generations of Americans. The American Battlefield Trust tells our extraordinary national story through the conflicts of the first century of the United States. We present this history as accurately and completely as possible, with special emphasis on soldiers engaged on the battlefield. Our vision is that a better understanding of these notable conflicts will inspire all Americans to appreciate more fully their history, on the ground where it actually happened, and why it matters today.
