Outside of Tupelo, Mississippi.


There was a driving tour on the road leading up to this, the site of the main battle. Along the way were pull offs with markers that marked a time line of the battle noting points at which smaller battles, troop movements and placements leading up to the main battle.

As you might imagine the Trace has several points of interest relating to the War Between the States all along its route and we stopped at most of them. Both of us finding them interesting and informative.

Because of this we have began looking for other civil and revolutionary war historical parks and memorials that we can ride to on day and week-end trips.
