WHY IS THERE NO ORGANIZED STATE WIDE PRESERVATION ORGANIZATION IN ARKANSAS.

While there are several scattered local chapters of the SCV, UDC, Civil War Roundtables, Civil War Trails, county, or local historical preservation associations, who are trying in their own small way to preserve some Civil War Sites, there is no general statewide overall organization, as in other states, made up of people with expertise, that can assist and advise these local preservation organizations on how to go about doing the work of preservation, who know what resources are available to aid the preservation of site, or how to use those resources.
