This federal Project Grant award under the National Park Service's Battlefield Land Acquisition Grants (CFDA 15.928) program provides $152,232 to the Mississippi Department of Archives and History (MDAH) to support the non-federal acquisition of the 4.45-acre Nevels Tract at the Chickasaw Bayou Battlefield. MDAH is partnering with the American Battlefield Trust, the land owner, to permanently protect this historic site through a preservation easement. The grant funding, awarded on March 26, 2025, will enable the long-term preservation of this significant Civil War battlefield and ensure public access to the cultural landscape, aligning with the program's mission to acquire and safeguard threatened battlefields from the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, and Civil War.
