Civil War Field Day: Civil War Field Day, organized by The Friends of the Museums, introduces 8th grader elementary students from throughout Washington County, Ohio, and, Wood County, West Virginia, to living-history demonstrations related to the Civil War period. Volunteers assist in many roles so please consider how your interests and talents can contribute to this vital education event!

Historic Preservation: Contribute to historic preservation by supporting our periodic raffles of items of historic interest that support the America Battlefield Trust and The Gettysburg Foundation. Who knows what curious items you may discover?
