Park Day @ Battle of Musgrove Mill State Historic Site

For 29 years, the American Battlefield Trust’s Park Day event has brought volunteers of all ages to our nation’s historic sites and battlefields, readying them for a new season of tours and tourists. Join forces with volunteers from across the country to help their local parks and historic sites tackle maintenance projects both large and small — from raking leaves and hauling trash to painting signs and building trails. It's a fun and meaningful way to lend a hand, and experience the history of The Liberty Trail.
