Stones River National Battlefield, Murfreesboro TN

This was a very interesting place! From December 31, 1862, to January 2, 1863, the battle here was a major turning point for the Union in the Civil War. Tens of thousands of men died, 30-40% of troops on each side. The kids are working on their badges and patches for becoming Junior Rangers - they'll continue working on it when we get home and we will mail it in when they are done. It takes a lot of effort to become a JR!

We sure have learned a lot on this short trip to middle Tennessee. History is awesome!! :)
