The Battlefield Foundation provides volunteer support and financial assistance for preservation, restoration, development, educational, and interpretive projects of River Raisin National Battlefield Park. River Raisin National Battlefield Park is the only National Battlefield Park dedicated to preserving and telling the story of the War of 1812 and the Battlefield is the only unit of the National Park System that is solely dedicated to preserving, restoring and educating visitors and students about the vast complexities and dynamics of the War of 1812 in the Northwest Territories.
