Tennessee Civil War Preservation Association

TCWPA and Tennessee Department of Tourist Development Form New Partnership

With the new law, TCWPA’s deadline for receiving 1000 orders is June 2011. President Jim Danley announced that with this new authorization, TCWPA is partnering with the Tennessee Department of Tourist Development’s Civil War Trails program and the Sesquicentennial Commission. In a joint effort to promote battlefield preservation and the Civil War Trails program, TCWPA pledges its proceeds ($15.62 per plate) to both battlefield preservation and the Civil War Trails program. President Danley noted, “Understanding and appreciation for Tennessee’s Civil War history goes hand-in-hand with preservation. When people learn about Tennessee’s rich Civil War heritage, they’re more likely to support our preservation mission.” Proceeds for the Civil War Trail signs will go directly back to the community of the person who orders the plate to help purchase Civil War trails signs for that community or assist in their annual sign maintenance fee.
