Bloody Shiloh.....
“No soldier who took part in the two day's engagement at Shiloh ever spoiled for a fight again,” recalled one Union veteran. “We wanted a square, stand-up fight [and] got all we wanted of it.” Besides preserving the site of the bloody April 1862 battle in Tennessee, the park commemorates the subsequent siege, battle,
and occupation of the key railroad junction at nearby Corinth, Mississippi.
Shiloh National Park Schedule
Shiloh anniversary dates are April 6 & 7. Living History demonstrations on the weekend closest to the anniversary dates. Memorial Day programs each year. Ranger programs conducted on the battlefield sites from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
Shiloh National Military Park contains a wide array of historic sites. In addition to the battlefield of Shiloh itself, the park contains a separate unit at Corinth, Mississippi, that preserves and interprets the Siege and Battle of Corinth. Located within the boundaries of Shiloh park is also a United States National Cemetery, which contains around 4,000 soldiers and their family
members. A National Historic Landmark in its own right, the Shiloh Indian Mounds are also located with the park boundaries. Click on the links below for more information on the history of each of these areas.
