Lots of Battlefield Tour Options
We picked a beautiful Fall day to visit the Stones River site. As with all locations, checking the NPS website first is key. Information (including visitor center hours) was up to date and accurate. Staff at the center were helpful and friendly. The museum took just the right amount of time to visit without losing the attention of our teens. It had several personal testimonies that brought individual stories to life. The driving tour using the app gave great details and made you feel that you could picture the battle around you. There were also multiple trails to walk/bike to see sites even closer. The standard video was not available in the center due to COVID, but it was viewable online. A recommended visit for anyone interested in the Civil War, history or enjoying a walk through nature.

Our family enjoyed our visit
We enjoyed our visit and loved learning more about the battle. It’s a beautiful area with some very moving places and exhibits but also room for the kids to explore. The kids loved the old canons and the outdoor exhibits! The museum itself is very nice and the staff were very friendly and informative and we enjoyed chatting with them! There was a rather ill behaved dog in the shop part of the building, which we weren’t happy to see wearing a “service dog” vest, which we had to roll our eyes at. Other guests mentioned it belongs to a staff member which frankly shocked me. As a person whose family member had a REAL service dog, it’s tough to take and a bit offensive seeing fake ones masqueraded as real ones. Other than that I would recommend a visit here!
