• 2. To foster and to encourage the preservation, restoration and/or rehabilitation of these historic and cultural sites by property owners either alone or in association with other individuals, corporations, partnerships, consortia, or the county, state, federal, and municipal bodies and authorities.
• 3. To especially discover, identify, preserve, procure, and memorialize Revolutionary War battlefields and grounds of engagement in matters relating to the use and ownership thereof.
• 4. To promote means and opportunities for the education of the public with respect to the study of Revolutionary military history.
• 5. To develop popular public appreciation (historic, cultural and recreational) of these military sites.
• 6. To establish and operate for the benefit of the general public, permanent battlefield parks and trails.
• 7. To seek and nurture conservation and historic preservation easements and viewsheds in Revoloutionary places.
