The past is the present at this Civil War battlefield park in the Ozarks. See important battle sites along a self-guided driving tour or walking the one-mile Battlefield Trail. Guided tours are offered through structures typical of a 19th-century hill community. The life of a Civil War soldier is emphasized at the Battlefield Museum. Interpretive programs and exhibits aid in depicting Civil War period and its impact on Arkansas.
A reenactment of the battle is hosted the first weekend of December on even numbered years.
