Group honored for preserving part of state’s history

The Georgia Battlefields Association has been recognized for its statewide efforts to protect and preserve the state’s Civil War stories. The association received the Roger W. Warlick Local History Achievement Award on Tuesday from the Georgia Historical Society. The presentation took place at a meeting of the Civil War Roundtable of Atlanta. “We commend Charlie Crawford and the members of the Georgia Battlefields Association for their statewide efforts to protect and preserve Georgia’s Civil War stories,” said W. Todd Groce, president/CEO of the Georgia Historical Society. “Their support of the Civil War 150 historical marker project has allowed us to tell stories about that era of Georgia History that might otherwise never be told.”
