Tupelo National Battlefield, Civil War battlefield in Mississippi
Tupelo National Battlefield is a park in Mississippi that preserves the grounds where Union and Confederate forces fought a major battle in July 1864. The site contains markers, earthworks, and open fields that show how the armies positioned themselves and moved across the terrain.
The battlefield saw a clash between Union and Confederate forces in July 1864, during the Civil War's final years. The Union victory here helped secure control of northeastern Mississippi and disrupted Confederate supply lines in the region.
The battlefield honors soldiers who fought in one of the last Confederate-held areas in Mississippi.
The park offers walking paths and viewing areas across the grounds that visitors can explore at their own pace. Comfortable shoes and water are helpful, especially during warm weather in the region.
The grounds are surprisingly compact for a national battlefield, yet they clearly show the tactical movement of troops. Walking across the site takes little time, making it easy to grasp how the fighting unfolded in the space.
