SYLVANIA - A $100,000 grant awarded the City of Sylvania this week by the Georgia Department of Transportation will make possible the uncovering of a Revolutionary War battleground, where 150 patriots lost their lives 232 years ago. In December 2010, the city applied for the Transportation Enhancement Grant with a local match of $25,000, creating $125,000 funding for the project. The purpose of the grant is to provide the means to pinpoint the location of the Revolutionary War Battle of Brier Creek and to identify the site of the American soldiers' mass grave, so the battle site may be preserved.
