Your Support is Needed
Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield Foundation is privileged to work alongside an exceptional team—dedicated professionals who wake up every day committed to preserving history and serving the public. Thanks to their hard work, thousands of visitors experience the rich history of Wilson’s Creek, creating lasting memories that inspire generations.
Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield commemorates those who fought in our nation’s great and tragic Civil War. It is truly a jewel in the National Park Service, preserving historic land, conserving and displaying artifacts, and providing interpretation for a multitude of visitors.
Unless funding continues at current levels, this historic site—and the stories it holds—could be at risk. So, too, may be the important relationship between Wilson’s Creek and the surrounding communities. In 2023 alone, the Battlefield welcomed 317,000 visitors, who spent $21.2 million in nearby communities—supporting 311 jobs and contributing $28.7 million to the local economy.
Here’s how you can help:
- Contact your representatives in Congress and let them know why Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield matters to you and our community. Ask them to prioritize our national parks and the staff entrusted to conserve them for future generations.
- Sign up to volunteer at the Battlefield.
- Become a Foundation member and donate to help us continue our mission to protect our national treasure.
Together, we can preserve the history and natural beauty of Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield.
