Shiloh National Military Park will host several special events during 2009. Beginning in early April with our 147th "Battle Anniversary Weekend" and running through October, these park activities will offer visitors a unique look at civilian life in and around Pittsburg Landing in the 1860s; infantry, artillery, and cavalry tactical demonstrations; and a glimpse of the military camp life shared by thousands of Civil War soldiers.

On April 4 and 5, Civil War reenactors will provide Confederate camp scenes as well as infantry, cavalry, artillery, and other demonstrations. On Memorial Day weekend, the park will honor America's deceased service men and women from the Nation's wars. Throughout the summer, visitors will also have the opportunity to observe infantry, cavalry, and artillery demonstrations. Check this website for more information as more details are finalized.

Visitors are invited to take advantage of these unique opportunities to learn more about both the soldiers and civilians of wartime Tennessee. Links below give specific dates, times, and places. For more information, call the Shiloh Battlefield Visitor Center at (731) 689-5696.
