This year, the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) issued national park resource assessments on three Civil War parks. These assessments are available in PDF format online at www.npca.org/stateoftheparks – as are others.
Of special note was Appomattox. Unfortunately, it only mustered fair scores for both cultural as well as natural resources and conditions. Budget cuts have hit them hard. The report notes that about 150,000 visitors take part in history annually there. Visit them online at http://www.nps.gov/apco.
If you haven’t done anything to specifically support a Confederate landmark lately, now is a good time to renew your commitment to our cultural heritage.
