Abstract:
The Fort Bragg Cultural Resources Program unearths, catalogs, and preserves the rich historical resources that are located on the fort's 160,000 acres. The program manages prehistoric archaeological sites, historic landscapes, artifacts, and documents. The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 requires all federal installations to make this preservation effort. The program has identified over 3,900 archaeological sites, 374 historic buildings, 27 historic cemeteries, and a Civil War battlefield.
