The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation received a $1,054,500 project grant from the National Park Service, an agency of the U.S. Department of the Interior, to acquire a 22.35-acre tract of land known as the Rollins Tract at Bristoe Station Battlefield. The grant was awarded under the Battlefield Land Acquisition Grants program (CFDA 15.928) to assist states and local communities in preserving threatened battlefield lands from the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, and Civil War through fee simple acquisition. Specifically, the funding will support the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation's purchase of the Rollins Tract to permanently protect this historic Civil War battlefield landscape. Work under the grant is scheduled to be completed by January 31, 2025.
