1 MONTEREY PASS BATTLEFIELD PRESERVATION THROUGH PARTNERSHIP

2 THE BATTLE OF MONTEREY PASS Second largest Civil War battle fought in Pennsylvania Fought during the retreat from Gettysburg, July 4-5, 1863 Still widely unknown and unrecognized Famous key figures include Union Brigadier General George A. Custer Union Major Charles Capehart, 1 st West Virginia Cavalry awarded Medal of Honor

3 RECOGNITION & INTERPRETATION Monterey Pass Battlefield Association formed in 2006 John Miller, on behalf of the Monterey Pass Battlefield Association, worked to install interpretive markers at sites along the retreat route from Gettysburg, some with the help of Pennsylvania Civil War Trails John and Alicia Miller presented their goals to Washington Township, which resulted in the Battlefield Association becoming a Township Committee in 2009 This committee grew to become what is now Friends of the Monterey Pass Battlefield, Inc., which was incorporated in June of 2011 as a 501.c.3 nonprofit organization, which works closely with Washington Township

4 PARTNERSHIP Through Washington Township, grant funding from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and several generous donations from local contributors, including the Shockey Family Foundation and F&M Trust, an acre of Battlefield ground was purchased to house an interpretive center.

5 PARTNERSHIP By working with the Michigan History Foundation, Washington Township and the Friends secured a Michigan Historical marker for the site one of the select few, located outside of the state of Michigan.

6 PARTNERSHIP The Friends, with Washington Township, received many generous contributions toward the development of an interpretive center. These contributions came in the form of monetary donations but also in countless hours of donated labor and building materials.

7 PARTNERSHIP

8 INTERPRETIVE CENTER
