In 1988, the Bennett Place Support Fund, Inc., a 501-C3 non-profit organization, was created to provide financial assistance and support to Bennett Place State Historic Site. Monies from this Friends organization are used in the preservation of this historic landmark, educating the general public about the role of the Bennett Farm in the American Civil War, assisting staff in its research and interpretation of 19th century farm life and the military of the Civil War, and encouraging community involvement and volunteer participation.
