Shiloh is pleased to announce a special ranger-led hike on July 16 in Corinth, MS. Join Ranger Laura Lee McKellips to learn about the historic railroads and their role in the Battle of Shiloh, the Siege of Corinth, and the October 1862 Battle of Corinth.  

Participants will learn about the two railroads and the historic junction and how both armies used the rails to their advantage. Participants will walk to see the locations of the two railroads.

The distance of the hike is about 2 miles (round trip) over moderate terrain and city sidewalks. Participants should wear clothing and footwear appropriate for the weather. 

Insect repellent, sunscreen, and water are recommended. Pre-registration is required to participate in the hike. Please call the Interpretive Center at 662-287-9273 to reserve your spot.
