If you love history, and Civil War history, this is a great place to visit. We spent about 5 hours here: watching the film, wandering around the battlefields and also following the audio tour they have available. Do NOT just drive around without any information as it will just look like a bunch of monuments plopped randomly around! The film... More

If you are interested at all in the Civil War, you must see this park. It is very moving, peaceful, sad. You could spend several days here and probably not see it all. Truly worth the time and effort.

Pristine, quiet, non-commercial, beautiful, solumn, reflective, sad, peaceful, respectful. I spent two full days there from 8 to 5. Took 564 pictures. Heard more chirping birds then car motors. This is how a memorial battlefield should be. Very few tour buses, very few school buses and screaming disrespectful kids just wanting to buy sourveneirs. Negatives: the new map and tour... More

I had talked about visiting Shiloh for at least 10 years--I live in Orlando, so it's quite a distance away. This year was the year, though, and it was worth the wait! I was quite moved by seeing the monuments start right at the the drive in. *(There are over 150 of them, plus over 600 markers!!) Shiloh is not... More

Home of the bloodiest battle during the Civil War and it is a southern history. Hiking this area is wonderful on a great spring, summer or fall day. A must for kids to learn about our southern heritage!

Our stop in Shiloh was specifically to visit this park and it was worth the trip! It started with a walk through the museum which was educational but somewhat small. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We grabbed a map of the grounds and decided to walk the area around the museum where the cemetary is first. It is... More

The Park activities were very well organized. The highlights were the car caravan tours with a tour guide and the grand illumination of over 23,000 luminaria throughout the battlefield.

Drove out to Shiloh from New Jersey to see the park for the first time. It was the 150th anniversary weekend and the weather was great. The illumination of 23,000 candles was magnificent. An added bonus to this great Civil War battlefield park are the Shiloh Indian Mounds which are remnants of an Indian village from 800 years ago. Stop... More

Like others, I highly recommend the orientation film. It helped me appreciate what I was seeing. Even though I've visited alot of Civil War battle fields, for some reason I found this one very moving. Even though it's a little out of the way, it's well worth the visit....you won't be disappointed.
