Here's where we stand

The Current Status of Progress

As of October 7, 2026 we received our letter of determination from the IRS. This gives YOU the ability to do a tax-deduction for all contributions, and it gives US the ability to apply for Federal, State, and local grants and other funds.

It also allows us to seek out such help as Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), Lidar (aerial means of seeing ground disturbances), and other scientific methods to determine what may lie beneath the surface.

All of these things we are actively pursuing. If you have contacts that may be willing to help in these areas, we would certainly appreciate you sharing our mission. Our primary focus is on keeping all costs to a minimum while moving toward the purchase amount.

What is the purchase price?

In order for us to purchase this parcel, we have to purchase the entirety of what is there. This includes the full 7.2 acres of battlefield, the log cabin, and the brick ranch-style home on the property.

Current tax assessment on all of this is approximately $622,000.00.

We have a purchase price agreement in place and settled by our Executive Director, Dennis Estlock and the current owner, Jones Realty & Construction. Mr. Estlock holds lease on the property with a first-right-of-refusal clause.
