will descend on battlefields in North Carolina and

On Saturday, March 31, volunteers from across the nation
at more than 100 sites in 25 states are coming together
to participate in the nationwide "Park Day" to help
clean and restore America's priceless battlefields.

State Historic Sites and one State History Museum
participating.
