Britton Lane Battlefield, Tennessee, United States
4.5 (2 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Medon Battlefields
interesting battlefield site
This site is worth the stop, it is located just a few miles from I-40 and it is amazing to read about this battle and all of the activity going on in this area at the time. Puzzled to read about the numerous charges made by dismounted Southern cavalry troops going against cannons supported by infantry. High casualties trying to take those guns. Worth the stop, nice quiet area and well done self-guided tour. Cannons on site are great! Check out the website below and support the group taking care of the battlefield. http://www.brittonlane1862.madison.tn.us/battle_history.htm

Small Civil War battle near Jackson, TN
This was a neat little stop. There is parking on site, some memorials, a few old graves, and replica cannon, supply wagon, and dog trot house. It has more signs than I have seen at many of the small battlefields which provides some good information about what happened. It is a nice stop for the Civil War buff or just a picnic spot on a beautiful day. No cost and it is well maintained.
