American Battlefield Trust Park Day

On Saturday, April 10, two OHS historic military sites are participating in the American Battlefield Trust’s annual Park Day event. History enthusiasts from across the country take part in an effort to help keep our nation’s heritage not only preserved but pristine. Since 1996, American Battlefield Trust has sponsored Park Day, an annual hands-on preservation event to help Civil War—and now Revolutionary War and War of 1812—battlefields and historic sites take on maintenance projects large and small. Those interested in volunteering should contact the site manager listed below to participate.

Honey Springs Battlefield is planning to clear brush and clean interpretive signage on the battlefield and the walking trails. Volunteers should bring gloves and rags, and dress for clean-up efforts. Bottled water will be supplied for those who attend and volunteer. For more information about becoming a Park Day volunteer or to preregister to work the event on April 10 at the Honey Springs Battlefield site, contact Adam Lynn at alynn@okhistory.org or 918-473-5572.
