The National Park Service has done a fine job with this battlefield. The grounds are emaculate and attractive. The information and presentation are very professional and informative. My wife went into it not being super interested in battlefields and she came out of it with her curiosity perked. I recommend a visit to anyone.

Kind of off the beaten path but if you are a civil war buff, well worth the trip- about an hour south of Nashville.

We went on Sunday (family had traveled in from all over) and they had a very moving ceremony to honor the soldiers that died in battle. The museum did a great job capturing the story through articles you could see and touch as well as a great video. There were plenty of rangers to handle the traffic, answer questions and... More

Stop first at the visitor's center to get a map, get the background of the battle at the museum and view the film. There are spacious, clean bathrooms there. Then take off to visit the battlefield. If biking be sure to use bug spray! There are some places where biking is not permitted and you must walk. There are not... More

I enjoyed visiting Stones River. The majority of the battlefield can be seen on a driving tour. The tour is guided by a CD that can be rented at the visitors' center. The grounds are very well kept and is very much the way that Tennessee was at the time of the battle. It does lack all the monuments that... More

This is a very nice presentation about one of the lesser known battles of the Civil War. The battlefield is well preserved and maintained, but lacks a little in the way of presentation. I admit that this is not one of the battles I am very familiar with, and it was difficult for me to get an idea of what... More

Our family goes to this area of Tennessee on Thanksgiving. The ladies go shopping and the guys go to Civil War battlefields. We have been to this one 2 times now. We learned something new each time. It is a well kept battlefield and the park museum is great. The park interpreters are very knowledgeable about this battlefield and others... More

This 350 acre park is in the center of the 4000 acre Battle of Stones River. Well preserved with a good visitor center and interpretive auto trail a visitor can get a sense of the terrible three days at the end of 1862 and the beginning of 1863. The highest percentage of casualties, on both sides, of any of the... More

I'm glad they've preserved portions of this battlefield and saved it from the sprawl of central TN. The staff is incredibly nice and helpful but this is a challenging park to appreciate because the park is actually broken up into a few sites and you must drive to certain spots to view them. It is surrounded by an urban/suburban environment.... More
