Wilson's Creek National Battlefield Foundation
Wilson's Creek National Battlefield, founded in 1950 by community leaders, commemorates the pivotal Battle of Wilson's Creek during the Civil War. Situated within both Christian County and Greene County, Missouri, this historic site is preserved and supported by the Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield Foundation. The Foundation played a crucial role in its establishment, acquiring land, constructing facilities like the Visitor Center, and establishing educational resources such as the Civil War Library. Despite its National Park status, the Foundation remains dedicated to fostering community support, preserving artifacts, and enhancing educational programs. Additionally, the battlefield offers recreational opportunities with walkable and equestrian-friendly trails, while ongoing efforts to expand the library collection ensure the enduring legacy of this historical landmark.
