The Civil War Trust offers you a unique opportunity to create a legacy of battlefield preservation. A planned gift to the Civil War Trust will mean that you will help save battlefields so that they will never be developed, and so that future generations will benefit from your gift for years to come. By naming the Civil War Trust in your estate plan, you are not only creating your legacy, but you are also able to take advantage of tax incentives while still providing financial benefits to those you love. Once you have named the Civil War Trust in your Estate Plan, we will welcome you to our Honor Guard, our legacy giving society. More>>
