From the December American Battlefield Trust 2022 calendar.
FREDERICKSBURG, VIRGINIA
259 acres saved.
The preservation of the"Slaughter Pen Farm" on the Fredericksburg Battlefield in Virginia, ranks as one of the most significant and expensive acquisitions of hallowed ground in the history of the Trust and its presevation partners.
This spread of farmland was highly threatened by development, but the Trust was not about tolose the site that witnessed a bloody charge by some 4,000 Union troops during the Battle of Fredericksburg on December 13, 1862!
The Trust and its pivotal partners have saved 259 acres at Fredericksburg.
