Review & FAQ:

Stones River National Battlefield is a 570-acre battlefield area overseen by the National Park Service as a public park and historic site. The National Register of Historic Places-listed park is located approximately 28 miles south of Nashville, near the city of Murfreesboro, and memorializes the site of the American Civil War's Battle of Stones River in 1862-1863. Approximately one-fifth of the original battlefield site is preserved as part of the park, along with an intact section of Fortress Rosecrans, the Civil War's largest enclosed earthwork. The 20-acre Stones River National Cemetery is also preserved, which contains nearly 7,000 Civil War interments and the Hazen's Brigade Monument, the oldest surviving Civil War-era monument in the nation that has not been relocated.
