Definition
Sites where major battles have been fought that have been preserved and made available to the public as a part of the nation's heritage. Some battlefields are a part of the National Park System, but others are managed by state or local authorities or are privately owned. Amenities for visitors may include interpretive signs marking historic features of the landscape such as the location of encampments and the deployment of opposing forces during the course of the battle, maps of the area and materials that can be used for historical study. Guided tours, historical reenactments of the conflict, commemorative events and other activities may be offered at the site.
