Our Grass Roots Campaign


Our Goal
The goal of the SAVE BRANDYWINE BATTLEFIELD campaign is to keep the Brandywine Battlefield open and bring back the Revolutionary Times battle event. We are reaching out to concerned American's in all 50 states to help by donating what they can. Together we can make it happen and preserve this National Historic Landmark.

The idea to launch this site to raise funds for the Battlefield is a response by concerned residents of the Brandywine Valley. To do nothing... to let this National Historic Landmark close and be lost to future generations of Americans would just be wrong. The right thing to do is to reach out to all Americans to say, "Together, we can do something about this."

Where the Money Goes
All money donated will go directly to the Brandywine Battlefield Associates, the people who run the Battlefield events, tours, educational programs, etc. No money raised will be used for any other purpose. We are using PayPal for donations to keep credit card processing and bank fees to an absolute minimum.

Your donation will:

  • Help keep the Battlefield open.
  • Help fund Battlefield events and school tours.
  • Help keep Washington's headquarters open.
  • Help keep Lafayette's headquarters open.
  • Help save this important piece of American History.

"Those who expect to reap the blessings of Freedom, must... undergo the fatigue of supporting it. The event of yesterday is one of those kind of alarms, which is just sufficient to rouse us to duty, without being of consequence enough to depress our fortitude. It is not a field of a few acres of ground, but a cause that we are defending, and whether we defeat the enemy in one battle, or by degrees, the consequence will be the same."

Thomas Paine
on the Battle of Brandywine
