PBF MISSION:  Leading a regional initiative to preserve, interpret, and promote the Campaign's diverse cultural, historic, and natural resources in order to place them within the broader historical context connecting events and places, thus enabling current and future generations to better understand the relationships between military conflict and important social and political changes occurring in American history.
