Stones River National Battlefield in Tennessee commemorates one of the Civil War's fiercest battles, fought from December 31, 1862, to January 2, 1863. This pivotal Union victory strengthened Northern morale and furthered control of Middle Tennessee. Today, the 570-acre site offers a chance to explore historic fields, military fortifications, and a National Cemetery. Interpretive trails, a visitor center with exhibits, and reenactments provide insights into the soldiers' experiences and the battle's significance in American history.
