The Rich Mountain Battlefield Foundation......is working to preserve the Rich Mountain Battlefield and Camp Garnett, so that all of our citizens, now and in the future, will be able to appreciate this vital part of our heritage. Through the work of the Foundation, the site of the battle, Camp Garnett, and the portion of the original turnpike which connects the two sites have been recognized on the National Register of Historic Places.

This historic district, together with some important adjoining lands, is now the Rich Mountain Battlefield Civil War Site.

Purchase of the Civil War Site property is virtually complete, thanks to the efforts spearheaded by RMBF and the help of our many supporters and contributors, including especially the Randolph County Development Authority and the Randolph County Convention and Visitors Bureau. The Association for the Preservation of Civil War Sites owns the 40 core battlefield, and additional purchases were aided by the Civil War Trust, the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation, and the Conservation Fund. Major funding was received from federal ISTEA enhancement funds.

But just as important, the ongoing operations, maintenance, improvements, interpretation, and protection of the site, as well as operation of the visitor center, are all the responsibility of the Rich Mountain Battlefield Foundation. Your tax-deductible donation will help to improve and preserve the historic park site for all visitors to enjoy. Your contribution of $10 or more will make you a member of the Rich Mountain Battlefield Foundation, and you will receive periodic mailings on the progress of the preservation work at Rich Mountain.

Rich Mountain Battlefield is forever an important part of our past. Please help make it a part of our future as well!
