About

The South Carolina Battleground Trust

The South Carolina Battleground Preservation Trust (SCBPT) is a 501 (c) 3 not-for profit corporation established in 1993 and dedicated to the preservation of South Carolina’s historic battlegrounds and military sites. 

Working with property owners, developers, and local and state agencies, we use a variety of tools to ensure our state’s military heritage sites are not forgotten.

We seek to protect and preserve historic military sites across South Carolina. In doing so we honor the soldiers who gave their lives in service to their country, keeping their efforts alive in the minds of current and future generations. 

We aim to preserve hallowed grounds, so any and all can remember, contemplate, discuss, and learn how our history — how it not only shapes the past but also guides the present and future of our great state and nation.
