More than 1400 Civil War battlefields in Tennessee? YES!

TCWPA's Battlefield Assessment program is an ongoing effort to document each of Tennessee's Civil War battlefield sites. Only a few are protected as state or national battlefields; most are preserved by communities, on private lands, or are lost to development.

How can I help?

Help us capture our state’s rich Civil War heritage by providing information about battlefields you know about in your community. Together, we can create a complete reference source for Tennessee battlefields.

We need your help! Click here to see if a battlefield is listed in Dyers Compendium, an historic list of military engagements, and see if we have information about its condition.

If the battlefield is listed, but there’s no separate page and YOU have information about that site, click here.
