Trip to Perryville

[NFB22]

Planning to make my first trip to Perryville tomorrow. I have everything ready to go as far as my maps and stuff and spent the past week reading more into the battle & campaign and checking out YouTube videos.

That said, is there any portion of the battlefield that is an absolute must see in anyone's opinion. I plan on spending the full day there.

I love Perryville. I have been there 7-8 times. Beautiful area and battlefield. I love the cornfield area and the site for Maney's charge. There was some brutal fighting that occurred on Starkweather Hill also.

Looking at the photos of the battlefield, it looks beautiful there. I'm very excited the forecast for tomorrow is perfect weather for a battlefield visit.

I went up there during the first week of October for 5-6 years in a row. The fall colors were beautiful. It gets cool up there at night during that time. I haven't been in several years but if I had the time now I would go again in a heartbeat.
