President Trump donated the first few months of his White House salary to Antietam National Battlefield, the national park in Maryland that preserves the hallowed ground of the bloodiest day of the Civil War, the government said Wednesday.
Mr. Trump’s first quarter salary of $78,333 was matched by an anonymous donor who gave another $22,000, bringing the gift to $100,000, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke said.
The donation will restore an historic house on the battlefield, and will help replace fencing.

I have visited a lot of Civil War battle field parks. Antietam is the number one best preserved, even better than Gettysburg IMO.
