Battlefield Protection Study: Honey Springs Battlefield Park, OK
NPS Southwest Region, American Battlefield Protection Program and Oklahoma Historical Society, Division of Historic Sites. 1991. Battlefield Protection Study: Honey Springs Battlefield Park, OK. Washington, D.C.
The effort of the Oklahoma Historical Society through its board, staff, and membership to provide for the preservation and protection Honey Springs Battlefield is a long-standing endeavor. The OHS is extremely pleased in these efforts to be the beneficiary of the activities of the American Battlefield Protection Program. The Battle of Honey Springs is significant because of its effect on the war in the Indian Territory, the composition of the participants and the important role of the African-American troops involved. While the OHS has obtained significant portions of the site, other equally significant portions are on privately-owned land that is subject to modern development. While it is the stated intent of the OHS to protect all of the site through acquisition, it is apparent that alternative land protection strategies could provide a basis for the long-term protection and interpretation of these resources as stated in the American Battlefield Protection Program.
