One of our stops on our weeklong trip was going to Wilson's Creek National Battlefield.
Not very many places have a register to sign I've noticed but I always make sure to sign it when there is one. Check out that canister shot also!
These national parks in the mid-west seem to be focused on all the wars that went on out there. The ones on the west coast seem to focus on different Indian tribes. So interesting!
A man went around and checked the temps in all the displays and wrote it down on a pad of paper.
Zoom in on this pic to read. So funny/hilarious/sad/wow all at the same time.
Battle of the Pea Ridge, March 7-8, 1862.
Over the river and through the woods...just kidding. There were about 8 stops I believe around this park where you could get out and do a walk or go see something cool. Because we were limited on time, we only stopped at this one and went for a short walk.
  
The photo below explains the picture above.
Basically, the sinkhole in the ground pictured here was a mass grave for the bodies 
Walk walk walk. Felt so good after all the driving we had been doing.
Always loving the green, esp because I see soo much brown every day in my regular life.
