Prairie Grove

[mt155]

Made it to Prairie Grove, Arkansas two weeks ago and was able to get a few pics before it started to rain. I'll just have to go back again and visit in better weather. This is the Borden House which saw much of the fighting on that December day in 1862.

The Prairie Grove Battlefield is one of the best kept secrets in the whole American Civil War sites chain. The state of Arkansas has done a wonderful job interpreting this site!

Incredible shot. I can't even take a "selfie" without fuzzy, off-perspective images being the result.

I agree....I wasn't sure of what to expect but it is a very wonderful park. I wish it didn't pour all day so we could have walked a bit more.

I posted this thread from our trip in 2011. We lucked out and had wonderful weather. Just a tad bit humid......(brutal).

Interrupting???? Interpreting? Preserving?

Yes, during the 150th, Arkansas did a great job at DeVall's Bluff as well.

This is what happens when one types on a cellular telephone with autocorrect instead of typing on a regular keyboard without autocorrect.
