The Trust also promotes educational programs and heritage tourism initiatives to inform the public of the war’s history and the fundamental conflicts that sparked it.

Fort Yamhill was built in the mid 1800s in order to regulate the eastern border of the Grande Ronde Agency Coastal Reservation. The fort was in use from 1856 through 1866, and now offers visitors a glimpse into the life of the soldiers and American Indians during this period in Oregon's history.

The park offers tours of the historic fort. The website offers basic historical and visitor information.

The Fort Verde State Historic Park commemorates Fort Verde, which was in use between 1865 to 1891, rendering it an Indian Wars period fortification. By 1865, area settlers had demanded protection from the local Native American peoples, and the Army responded by sending volunteer units—almost entirely of Mexican heritage. A number of original structures still stand. Visitors can enter three historic living quarters (those of the commanding officer, bachelors, and the doctors and surgeons), furnished in the style of the 1880s.

The park offers exhibits, period rooms, an introductory film, and a picnic area.

The Massie Heritage Center, part of the Savannah-Chatham County Public School system, presents the history of Savannah, Georgia and the surrounding area. Particular emphasis is given to architectural history. The center is housed in three Greek Revival structures—one of which was Savannah's first public school, opened to the public in 1856. In 1865, the school was designated as being for African American students only. Today, a portion of the second floor recreates a 19th-century classroom.

The center offers self-guided tours, guided tours, exhibits, 17 educational programs, and the option of creating a custom program for students. Teachers who participate in an educational program receive suggested pre- and post- visit activity listings. Reservations are required for groups of more than 10 who would like a guided tour. The website offers children's activities.

Natural Bridge is the site of the second largest Civil War battle in Florida and where the St. Marks River drops into a sinkhole and flows underground for one-quarter of a mile before reemerging. During the final weeks of the Civil War, a Union flotilla landed at Apalachee Bay, planning to capture Fort Ward (San Marcos de Apalache Historic State Park) and march north to the state capital. With a timely warning, volunteers from the Tallahassee area—Confederate soldiers, old men, and young boys—met the Union forces at Natural Bridge and successfully repelled three major attacks. The Union troops were forced to retreat to the coast and Tallahassee was the only Confederate capital east of the Mississippi not captured by the Union. A reenactment of the battle is held at the park every March.

The park offers occasional recreational and educational events (including living history events).

The U.S.S. Constellation serves as a museum of its own history. The vessel is the final sail-powered warship built by the Navy, and the last floating Civil War era vessel.

Completed in 1825, Fort Snelling was originally built to prevent non-U.S. citizens from making use of the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers. After 1851, the fort served as a supply depot, training center for Union troops, and the headquarters of the Army Department of Dakota.

The fort offers a hands-on educational program; living history tours; day camps based on the pioneer stories of Laura Ingalls Wilder; blacksmithing, bread baking, tea, and hearth baking classes; outreach presentations given by costumed interpreters; lectures; and a picnic area. The website offers a virtual tour.

The Cherry Hill Farmhouse and Barn is furnished with 18th- and 19th-century decorative arts and farming tools. The Greek Revival framed home was built in 1845, while the barn dates to 1856. Both were repeatedly requisitioned by the armies of the Civil War. Other historical structures on site include a pit privy, corn crib, well house, buggy shed, and tackle barn.

The site offers tours, period rooms, lectures, concerts, readings, re-enactments, and children's teas.
