Thanks for letting us know! It’s easier to keep up with maintenence when we hear from you. Please check out our Connect page and use the online form to contact us.

Each sign has a sponsor which allows us to make corrections and keep up with maintenance and wayfinding. Send us a note through our Connect page and we will look into it as soon as possible.

All of the above! Armed with a Civil War Trails map you can follow in the footsteps of the soldiers as they moved from site to site. Should you choose to bike it, please follow all traffic rules and regulations (and wear a helmet). Some sites are accessed via walking trails while others might be on a busy street corner. Theres something for everyone.

Your support comes in many ways, thanks for asking. When visiting a Trails sign, ‘check in’ on social media, use our hashtags, and be sure to patronize local businesses too. Let us know if you find a sign that is in disrepair or if a directional sign is missing. Want to adopt a sign? We always have a list of sites which need sponsorship, so send us a message through our Connect page.

The initial package costs $3,000 and includes the design, fabrication and installation of the interpretive sign, a set of confirmatory directional signs and placement on the Civil War Trails printed maps and website. Each Civil War Trails sign requires an annual sponsor which allows us to maintain and market the site. Click on our Membership page for more information.
