Today we visited the National Historic Site of Pea Ridge near Garfield, Arkansas. It was an enjoyable tour. We watched a movie, visited the museum then took the driving tour of the site. At the Elkhorn Tavern, there was a volunteer interpreter who told us about the site and the aspects of the Civil War Battle there. He was a retired geology professor and we listened to him for about 1 1/2 hours. He was able to give the facts in a very interesting way. (Also enjoyed the company of his dog -- a Chihuahua / dachshund mix.)
You can learn more at the National Park Service website for Pea Ridge.
