Pea Ridge National Military Park is happy to help educate children about the natural, historical, and cultural aspects of the park. 

Stop by the Visitor Center to ask staff for a park-related educational activity packet, which includes a scavenger hunt, a maze, a crossword puzzle, word searches, and other fun things. Kids can complete activites in the packet and become a Junior Ranger.

We also offer a Hike Through History, typically completed by the Boy Scouts of America, but appropriate for any historically inquisitive hiker.

Kids can find othe fun park activities here, or become a WebRanger here.

John W. Lee's home in Leetown prior to the Battle of Pea Ridge

The site of Leetown was a thriving community before the Battle of Pea Ridge. Leetown’s buildings were used as hospitals for the wounded on both sides. After the battle, the buildings were in such disrepair that only a handful of people returned to Leetown.
