The Civil War Trust has saved hundreds of acres at Sailor's Creek

The Civil War Trust has maintained numerous significant areas of the Sailor's Creek battlefield over the years. Although the majority of this area is close to the Hillsman Farm, we have managed to save parts of Marshall's Crossroads and the historic Lockett Farm thanks to the assistance of our members. The Sailor's Creek Battlefield Historical State Park now includes a large portion of the area that we were able to rescue.

Additionally, Sayler's Creek Battlefield received the National Historic Landmark designation in 1985. Sailor's Creek Battlefield Historical State Park is made up of a few of the battlefields. Through a total of six transactions from 1996 to November 2021, the American Battlefield Trust and its partners have acquired and preserved 1,318 acres (5.33 km2) of the battlefield.
