Shiloh National Military Park was established on December 27, 1894, to preserve
and commemorate the battlefield and its historical significance. It was one of the earliest national military parks in the United States. Shiloh offers self-guided and ranger-led tours of the battlefield. There are marked trails and interpretive signs that guide you through key areas of the battlefield, including the Hornet's Nest, the Peach Orchard, and Shiloh Church.
Throughout the park, you can find numerous monuments and memorials erected by US States and organizations to honor the soldiers who fought in the Battle of Shiloh. The park also includes the Shiloh National Cemetery, where many Union and Confederate graves are.
Many feel a heavy paranormal presence while visiting Shiloh. There have been reports of ghostly horses and riders on the battlefield, reminiscent of the cavalry that rode in the Battle. Full bodied apparitions are often seen near monuments and near the cemetery.
We didn't make it before the sun set so we took an unplanned night tour of this incredible place. Come along and see for yourself!
