Preservation Opportunities

The legacy of the Civil War in Arkansas is represented in the fields and forests in which the soldiers fought and died, the letters and diaries that record the thoughts and feelings of the men and women who lived during the war, and the flags, uniforms and other artifacts that provide tangible links to the people who used them. The Arkansas Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission is dedicated to the preservation of these precious reminders of the Civil War. The following organizations are working to preserve Arkansas’s Civil War legacy:

REED’S BRIDGE BATTLEFIELD PRESERVATION SOCIETY, INC., c/o Jacksonville Museum of Military History, 100 Veterans Drive, Jacksonville, AR 72076. Phone (501) 833-0565. The Reed’s Bridge Battlefield Preservation Society is working to preserve the core area of the August 27, 1863, battle of Reed’s Bridge, or Bayou Meto – the best-preserved battlefield of the 1863 campaign that resulted in the capture of Little Rock by Union forces.
