If you are interested in the Civil War you need to stop at the Interpretive Center, It has great displays and exhibits on the Battle of Corinth, Shiloh and the Contraband Camp. Battery Robinett is located right next the Center

This is a gem of a museum, tucked away in Corinth. There is ample parking and the park area has walkways which have lots of "war relics" such as rifles, bullets caps etc made out of metal dotted around on the edge of the pathways. The actual museum is not very large but easy to walk around with many exhibits... More

A lot of thought was put into this Center and it is well worth the visit if you are a Civil War Buff. You will not be disappointed wit your visit, and it is a good stop either before or after visiting Shiloh National Battlefield.

This is a very nice modern federal museum focusing on The battles of Shiloh and Corinth and providing some basic contextual information on the civil war. The interpretive center does a nice job of laying out the foundation for the civil war and hence differences between the north and south, it then explains the western front and the reason for...

After the Harrisburg, pa civil war museum, this is one of the best civil war museums I have ever been to. Very modern with good use of multi media, movies and maps, not to be missed if you are a civil war buff visiting Shiloh.

There are many displays, some movies, and many artifacts along the sidewalk as you walk into the building. There are hats, boots, guns, etc. It is a very impressive sidewalk and building. At the back of the building is a waterfall with granite blocks and dates and names of Civil War battles. This place is a treasure, and there is... More

The museum here in Corinth was nicely laid out, and free! They used graphics and movies to really show how the civil war played out the way it did. Three maps depict how the North had so many more people, much more industry, and more infrastructure. A small ampitheater shows several scenes of battle happening all around you (my only... More

Stopped on a rainy afternoon. It was very interesting and even though my wife and I are not civil war buffs I would recommend it. Walkway is a little long during a down pour but don't let that stop you.

This center is a great stop to those who have an interest in the Civil War and it's impact on the western theater of the war. The center main highlights is the battle of Shiloh and Corinth. Both were vital in the Union victory over the Confederate forces. There is a small theater that shows a short film about the... More
