Our mission is to preserve and protect this important piece of history for future generations. We offer educational tours and events to help visitors learn about the history of the battlefield and its impact on the Civil War.

Wyse Fork Battlefield has been on the Battlefield Trust most endangered Battlefields list twice .  Because of this unfortunate designation, HPG has been attending DOT public Hwy 70 bypass meetings for years going back 2005 or 2006.   At most of these meetings it was made known how HPG felt about where the bypass was potentially going to be.  Many members of HPG attended these meetings and several of us met with engineers once near the Vause House to discuss the bypass.   One of the County Commissioners , about 4 months ago asked why had we just started  to protest where the interchange was going.  Needless to say this led to a conversation in which we told her that HPG has been in contact with DOT concerning the Bypass for many years. 

It appears that the general public has only recently heard our protest with the starting of the Save the Wyse Fork Battlefield Facebook Group.  They do not know about the years of attending DOT meetings making them the aware of endangering the Battlefield.  It's troubling, in that, it appears as though this process is not as transparent as it should be.
