As we prepare to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, there is no better time to reflect on our nation’s fight for independence. Across the original 13 colonies, Revolutionary War sites stand as powerful reminders of that struggle and the people who shaped the nation’s founding. Preserving these sites is not just about safeguarding battlefields or historic buildings, it’s about ensuring that future generations can understand, honor, and learn from the sacrifices and ideals that gave birth to the United States.
