Three 18th-century farmhouses survive on the battlefield. One, the Craig House, has been restored. As the battle neared, the Craigs loaded their possessions onto wagons and with their children and slaves fled to safety. The dwelling's Dutch-framed kitchen dates from 1746, while the two-story addition is English-framed. The barn dates from the 2nd quarter of the 19th century. Open limited weekend hours. For additional information, please call 732-462-9616.
During the 1990s, public and private sources funded extensive battlefield restoration. The Craig farmhouse and the exterior of the 1745 Rhea-Applegate dwelling were restored, and the core of the battlefield was rehabilitated with the reconstruction of Revolutionary War fences, lanes and a woodlot. The battlefield landscape can be explored from parking areas at the visitor center, along Monmouth County Route 522 and Wemrock Road. Hiking the battlefield, visitors will discover that the battlefields remain a working landscape with crops such as corn and soybean being grown by one farmer, as well as an orchard that grows a variety of apples, peaches and more.

Southern Living named Perryville Battlefield State Historic Site one of the best things to do if visiting nearby Danville, Kentucky. This Kentucky battlefield is one of the most unaltered Civil War sites in the nation; vistas visible today are virtually those soldiers saw on that fateful day in 1862. The total acreage of the battlefield is 1,200 acres. A self-guided walking tour on the battlefield interprets battle events. This is one of the stops along Kentucky's Lincoln Heritage Trail.
This park is a 300-acre Civil War historic site where a ragtag group of 700 Confederate old men and young boys beat the odds and held off an assault by 5,000 Union cavalry on a bridge of strategic importance to Gen. Lee's army, then under siege in Petersburg. Visit the Confederate earthworks and walk the historic bridge trail. Two visitor centers feature 2,300 square feet of exhibits on the area's rich Civil War heritage, Native American archaeological investigations, and wildlife and ecology of the park. The park includes a 1.2-mile self-guided trail through the battlefield and a .75-mile nature trail with two wildlife observation towers overlooking wetlands.

Fallen Timbers Battlefield Memorial Park, across the Anthony Wayne Trail from the actual battlefield, has an impressive monument to the important battle and the combatants on both sides. A bike/pedestrian bridge connects the two sites. Owned by Ohio History Connection, the monument is situated on a bluff overlooking Side Cut Metropark and the beautiful Maumee River.
In an effort to continue the enhanced interpretation and preservation of the \"Last Land Battle\" of the American Civil War, the THC hosts Park Day at Palmito Ranch Battlefield National Historic Landmark. Park Day is an annual event sponsored by the American Battlefield Trust, which enlists the aid of volunteers to clean and repair the grounds of America's battlefields each April. At participating sites, volunteers receive a free water bottle (while supplies last) and have the opportunity to hear historians interpret the battle.
Standing on historic ground and hearing the stories of those who came before us puts people in a perfect frame of mind to consider their cultural heritage and the importance of preserving it for future generations. To that end, the THC and its supporters established a Radio Broadcast Repeater System in 2011 that makes available locally on 1610 AM, the history of the battlefield to tourists driving the length of the national historic landmark on State Hwy 4 (Boca Chica Rd).
Whether you are a Civil War history enthusiast or a curious heritage tourist to all the intriguing sites the Texas Tropical Trail Region has to offer you, be sure not to miss the last land battle of the Civil War. Also, consider downloading the THC's Palmito Ranch Battlefield National Historic Landmark (pdf) brochure to learn more about the battlefield.
The battlefield is designed primarily for self-guided walking tours, but guided tours by qualified battlefield guides are available for groups and individuals by appointment. These walking tours are offered at no charge, but donations which will be used for battlefield development and preservation are encouraged and would be gratefully accepted. The battlefield can be toured in less than one hour, though a longer stay will permit the visitor to explore more of the battlefield and learn more about the December 17, 1862 battle.
Preservation efforts began in 1961 when the Vinita Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy purchased a ten-acre parcel in the core battlefield area. Later that year, the acreage was donated to the Oklahoma Historical Society (OHS). A circle drive loop provides access to monuments and signage telling the story of the site. In 2012 the Civil War Preservation Trust, the Friends of Cabin Creek, and the OHS secured 86.5 acres through private fundraising and a Battlefield Protection grant through the National Park Service. The Oklahoma Historical Society administers this 96.5-acre historic site.
The plan presents recommendations on how to better preserve the battlefield's open spaces and historic landscapes. Over 200 historic resources are inventoried within the Brandywine Battlefield including buildings, meetinghouses, fords, and landscapes that were the location of combat and of battle-related events. The plan is presented in two documents below: the main report and a map atlas. 781b155fdc
