Shiloh National Military Park
Shiloh National Military Park commemorates the battle of Shiloh, one of the bloodiest battles of the civil war. Fought in southwestern Tennessee, the battle claimed about 24,000 casualties, and served as a wake up call for both the Union and the Confederacy. The military park strives to present the battlefield in its original state, from treelines to buildings. In addition, the park contains miles of historical trails and roads for hikers and two visitor centers.
The site offers information about the battle and current day battlefield park as well as teacher resources.
