In the spring of 2017, the Georgia Society, Sons of the American Revolution (also known
as the GASSAR) formed a committee for the purpose of assisting the Georgia Department of
Natural Resources in a joint effort to build a memorial to and preserve the Brier Creek
Battlefield.
After learning that no state funding agency was in place to assist with this effort,
the committee—in conjunction with the GASSAR—raised the necessary funds for a ground-
penetrating radar study to ensure that no unmarked patriot graves would be disturbed in the
preservation effort.
Anticipating that state funding would probably be limited for the
foreseeable future, the GASSAR requested that an organization independent of the GASSAR be
formed for the purpose of supporting the future needs of the Brier Creek Battlefield.
In
response, this organization was formed by a group of interested citizens who officially
registered with the U.S. Department of the Treasury on March 16, 2019 as a 501 (c)(3).
