Explore Tennessee’s Civil War Battlefields
The Interactive Map is part of the TCWPA Preservation Plan to memorialize certain Civil War battlefields in Tennessee originally identified by the Civil War Sites Advisory Committee including 122 sites recommended for further study. TCWPA prepared Battlefield Assessments for these sites that evaluated historical significance, condition, risk of loss, and opportunities for interpretation and preservation. Historical themes represented by these battlefields were also identified. In addition a model (Preservation Opportunity Index-POI) was developed to rate and rank preservation potential that will guide implementation of the Preservation Plan. The Interactive Map displays this information and more as additional data and documentation is compiled and added to the Battlefield Assessment.
