Gaines' Mill Cold Harbor Preservation Progress | 2008 to 2024

The substantial addition of battlefields saved and preserved in the past decade is a testament to the loyalty and commitment of you and all our Trust members. 

The spaces outlined in red on the maps represent more than 500 acres of once-vulnerable property ready to be developed into data warehouses, distribution centers, solar farms, housing developments, and more. But today these areas are on the verge of being protected as part of our nation’s history. And that is thanks to you and all the men and women who have worked so hard to preserve our nation’s hallowed battlegrounds.

“Absolutely incomparable. No unpreserved battlefield property in North America resonates with higher historical value than this land” – Robert Krick

The Gaines’ Mill Cold Harbor battlefields are the only place in America where more than one square mile of a “double battlefield” can still be preserved! 

It is not an exaggeration to say Gaines’ Mill and Cold Harbor are some of the most hallowed battlefield lands in America. And we have this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to save them.

“If pressed to select the single most desirable tract on any battlefield, I would, without hesitation, select the ground essential to protecting both Gaines’ Mill and Cold Harbor.” – Gary Gallagher
