Friends of Raymond was formed in 1998 with the purpose of preserving historic sites in the Raymond area. Ever since its formation it has managed to protect three parcels of the historic Raymond battlefield. This mission was accomplished through the tireless efforts and generous contributions of people who support this worthy cause.
One fund raising project created during my term as president was to name the different levels of contributions to coincide with the different ranks of the military. The highest rank created was General, the category in which a person or couple donates a lump sum of $5,000 or five yearly installments of $1,000. As Friends of Raymond interprets the battlefield, there will be a memorial or monument listing the names of those who signed as Generals. Our original goal was to obtain forty generals and we are now half way there. Currently Friends of Raymond is working with Chris B. Hoffman, landscape architect, to develop a master plan for the three battlefield properties. To date, Friends of Raymond has acquired sixty-four acres of core battlefield, including McPherson's Ridge and McGavock's Ridge.
A reenactment of the battles of Port Gibson, Raymond and Champion Hill was sponsored last year, on November 5-6, 2005. All three battles were fought in May of 1863 during Grant's march for Vicksburg. The event was co-hosted by Stanford's Mississippi Battery and assisted by the First Confederate Legion.
Since 1998, Friends of Raymond has acquired 64 acres of core battlefield known as the Raymond Military Park. The battlefield property is located one mile south of town along Fourteen mile Creek. The property includes: McPherson's Ridge where Union General James McPherson positioned himself during the battle; Artillery Ridge, where Union cannons were positioned; McGavock's Ridge where Colonel Randal McGavock, commander of the 10th Tennessee, was killed; and sections of Fourteen miles Creek where the 7th Texas and the 20th Ohio experienced the brunt of the battle. Walking trails, cannons, and battlefield sign age will soon be an attractive addition to the Raymond Military Park.
