The Pea Ridge National Military Park Foundation is making progress into the past by helping to protect and promote the History of the Battle of Pea Ridge.

Pea Ridge National Military Park Foundation, formed in 1994, is a not for profit 501(c)(3) organization committed to help educate the public, provide Park improvements (beyond what the Park’s budget allows), and support the activities of Pea Ridge National Military Park.

The following is a partial list of completed projects for the Park:

• $32,000 to purchase the original coats of Commanding General Samuel R. Curtis, one worn during the Battle of Pea Ridge.
• $4,000 to commission artist Andy Thomas for an oil painting of “On the Battery”, Pea Ridge battle scene at Elk Horn Tavern.
• $4,600 for financial support of “Thunder in the Ozarks” movie about the Battle of Pea Ridge shown in the Park’s theatre.
• $26,000 to purchased new audio/visual equipment for the Park’s theatre.

Current Capital Campaign of the Foundation is to raise $200,000 to purchase ten additional Pea Ridge battle scene oil paintings by artist Andy Thomas. This will bring the Park’s collection of Andy Thomas’s work to eleven. Visit ‘Shop Our Store’ and click on The Pea Ridge Collection to see the paintings.
