Major grants have been given by the Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels, the Conservation Fund, the Kentucky Heritage Council, the Civil War Trust, and the Association for the Preservation of Civil War Sites. As of May 1998, the Project has increased the protected battlefield lands from 98 to 275 acres and bought two critically important lots in the town of Perryville. In addition, the project has recently acquired the Crawford House, which served as Confederate General Braxton Bragg's headquarters. Museum sites and interpretive areas have also been secured. Cooperating families are acknowledged locally with signs of grateful recognition for their participation with the Project.
Negotiations continue with other property owners and expectations include further expansions.
The Perryville Project is working to secure Perryville's future for history, for jobs, and for education.
