A few pics taken at Wilson's Creek battlefield.
We also visited Pea Ridge last week. A beautiful park and the East Overlook was great.I visited for the first time last October (Fall really is the best time to see anything outdoors in the Ozarks). A picture of me leaning on a cannon is now my Facebook wall pic (chuckle)
A very pretty battlefield. Pea Ridge too is worth visiting in the Fall.
Shame on your companion.We drove by Springfield and saw the sign for Wilson's Creek. My traveling companion was resolute in not stopping.
My pal and I tried a few years back to make it to every major battle on the 150th anniversary. In August of 2011, the Wilson's Creek battlefield was a furnace. You can't tell from pictures, of course. We didn't make it to all the battlefields on their respective anniversary dates, but we got as close as we could and only got rained on at 2nd Manassas. It was a fun four years.Thanks to @Jimklag & @J. D. Stevens for the fine photos.
I've never been to Wilson's Creek, but passed the park within a mile or two a few years ago on the way to a football game at the University of Missouri.
As the only history nut in the group, I was over ruled by the others when I suggested a brief stop.
I love that park....up there with Gettysburg and Shiloh.We also visited Pea Ridge last week. A beautiful park and the East Overlook was great.
My pleasure.Great photos @Jimklag thanks for the share!!!
