Georgia Civil War Commission

Preserving Georgia’s Civil War History

The 1993 Georgia General Assembly created the Georgia Civil War Commission. As spelled out in Senate Resolution 21, its mandate is to coordinate the planning, preservation, and promotion of structures, buildings, sites, and battlefields associated with this significant period of our shared heritage. The Commission has developed a State of Georgia Civil War Sites Heritage plan that promotes heritage tourism. The Commission also encourages local landowners and governments to preserve Civil War battlefields and historic sites. The focus on educating our future generations through many different venues is also a viable part of the Commission’s mission.
