Spilling Thought: An amazing view of Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania National Military Park. During battles spread out over years, the #CivilWar raged on these #Virginia forests and fields. More than a 150 years after the guns fell silent, these battlefields -- preserved for their historical importance -- now serve as critical natural landscapes and habitat for wildlife. Land and Water Conservation Fund is helping keep America’s history alive. Thanks to money from the fund, Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania park was able to protect nearly 5,720 acres of historic landscape. Across the country, the fund has helped state and local governments preserve over 21,000 acres of battlefields and cultural sites, ensuring that we can continue to learn from these hallowed grounds. #parksforall #SunriseThisMorning Photo courtesy of Buddy Secor. by usinterior
