Richmond Battlefields Association
The Richmond Battlefields Association (RBA) is a volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to the permanent preservation of Civil War battlefields surrounding Richmond, Virginia. We safeguard these hallowed grounds through strategic land purchases, generous donations, and conservation easements.
The need for action is urgent. As development expands, these historic sites are rapidly disappearing. We invite you to join the RBA today and become a steward of our nation’s vital heritage. Together, we can ensure that future generations are able to experience and learn from these irreplaceable landscapes of American history.

RBA Preservation Victories:
“Richmond was more than the capital of the Confederacy—it was the place where both United States and Confederate soldiers fought throughout the entire war. We might think of Richmond as the Normandy of the United States, for over 40 percent of the men who died in the Civil War died within 150 miles of Richmond. This is a place for the entire nation.”
- Edward L. Ayers, Richmond Times-Dispatch
In a decade, all of Richmond's Civil War sites will be protected -- or obliterated!
