Pea Ridge National Military Park






An important battle during the Civil War was the Battle of Pea Ridge in Northwest Arkansas. Today the site of the battle is a National Military Park. The museum in the Visitor's Center has just be re-done and one of the groups I belong to took a day trip over to see the new exhibit. We watched the film, visited the museum, drove through the battleground visited with one of the volunteers at the Park and had a picnic lunch at Elkhorn Tavern. The tavern was used by both sides during the battle. The photos are from in the museum and lunch on the front porch at the tavern.
