Greetings, Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield Foundation Supporters!
As we roll into the fall months, we can take some time to reflect on the year and be grateful for all that we have accomplished at the Foundation. Through the support of our members and sponsors, we purchased a rare collection of documents on the civilian life and military career of James Edge and acquired an artillery shell jacket for the “Arming the Trans-Mississippi” exhibit at the visitor center.
Along with artifact acquisitions, we continue to support park events such as the Memorial Luminary Tour, the Annual Star Party, and Arts in the Parks. The Foundation additionally continues to provide educational opportunities such as the Summer Camp, and what a year it was with two weeks filled with wide-eyed children learning about the history of the park! The summer would not be complete without the Ray House Jamboree, a well-attended event where families gather to hear period music.
This has been a year of change with the retirement of our long-time staff members April McDonough and Roseann Blunt. I want to thank them again for all the time they dedicated to the Foundation’s mission. The Foundation would not be what it is today without their service. The focus of the Foundation’s work will continue with our new Executive Director, Melissa Adler, and the Board is genuinely excited for her to assist in leading the Foundation into a new era.
The Foundation is near and dear to my heart, and I am truly thankful for the opportunity to work alongside such a talented group of individuals who make up our Board of Directors. The value of being a part of an organization that is helping to preserve our history is extraordinary. I invite you to visit Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield soon and continue to be a part of the Foundation’s mission to help protect this piece of history located in the heart of our community!
Sincerely,
Crystal Sharp, President
