Land at Battle of Shepherdstown to be Preserved-- Part 4: Raising Funds

"Far Away Farm is likely one of the last parcels needed to achieve our ultimate goal of turning the battlefield properties over to the National Park Service for their management and protection," Nickerson said.

The West Virginia state government has recently donated a $300,000 Outdoor Grant to American Battlefield Trust.

The only thing holding all this up is the need for around $50,000 in fund, which the SBPA is hoping the community will be willing to donate.

The purchase price of Far Away Farm is $2 million.
