of Tennessee's Battlefields

Driving for Preservation is a statewide campaign with the goal of encouraging folks in every county to purchase the plate and display their support for battlefield preservation.

Every County in Tennessee has a story to tell. Preservation supporters have photographed their license plates at 40 sites across the state since we begun our monthly e-history emails. Some photos have been from well-known battlefields while others are from lesser known non-military sites helping tell the stories of communities on the home front. Occasionally a photo from out of state – or even Europe – arrives in our in-box.  All have a Tennessee connection.

How to Order

 Contact your county clerk’s office.  The annual fee is $35.00 plus your regular registration fees.  For personalized plates, the annual fee is $70.00 plus your regular registration fees.   

You can purchase anytime during your registration year.  You’ll get credit for any unused portion of your current registration.    

Tip – if your current tag is not expired, you’ll have to turn it in so be prepared to  remove your tag at the Clerk’s office.

Yes – renew. When the license plate is produced, you will be notified to pick up your license plate at your local registration office. You will pay a new registration fee – minus the credit you have on your current year.
