Stones River National Battlefield and the Civil War Preservation Trust will celebrate Park Day on Saturday April 21, 2012. We will join parks and volunteers nationwide for a day dedicated to preserving America's Civil War sites.

Volunteers and park employees will work on removing exotic plants, trash, and repairing or building historic style fences in areas near the park visitor center.

Registration will begin at 8:30 AM at the park picnic area located near the visitor center. Project coordinator Jim Lewis will give a brief talk focusing on the historical significance of the property before we begin. Volunteers should wear work clothes and bring work gloves.

The National Park Service will provide lunch at 12:30 p.m. The first fifty registered adult participants will receive commemorative t-shirts provided by the Civil War Preservation Trust.
