What visitors say
First time visiting and was not disappointed. Had a lot of information not just about Shiloh but also about the Railroad Junction in town. Park Ranger was very nice and helpful and the gift shop had a lot of different books to choose from.
A really nice center. The exhibits were very informative. They did a great job of explaining why the Battle of Corinth was important. I enjoyed the scripture outside.
Very cool national park. Not a lot to see and do here beyond the museum, but the museum is very educational. There is a short walk around the battle grounds but be forewarned it is very hilly and insects are in abundance, so come…
